The second field crop of cotton grown in Sind from Egyptian seed has now been harvested and marketed, and the result, though falling short of the highest expectation, has been sufficiently promising to assure the continuance and extension of the cultivation. The disappointing feature qualifying the complete success of the year's work is the total of the out turn, which was injuriously affected by the ravages of the boll-worm late in the season, and the Egyptian cotton suffered considerably more frous this pest than the indigenous variety

An area of 5,000 acres scattered over 2,000 square miles was sown with imported Abassi seed, and produced about 1,700 bales of cleaned cotton. This was not one-half of the anticipated yield, but in spite of the poor harvest the crop has proved profitable to the cultivators, even when allowance is made for the greater care and attention needed by the plants when growing, and the longer time they take to mature. With the aid of the Bombay Government in arranging for the collec. tion and sale at a central depot of the produce a inuch better price has been obtained than last year, when, owing to the novelty.of the commodity, doubt of the merchants as to the true value of home-grown Egyptian cotton, the small quantity - 500 bales - and the difficulties of collecting and marketing, it was found impossible to stimulate a local demand. At the public auctions at Mirpur Khas, which were well attended, prices varying from Rs.10) to Rs.13! per maand of 80 pounds of seed-cotton, equivalent to 71d. to 10d. a pound for cleaned cotton, have been realised by the cultivators, and many of the zamindars did not need to make use of the machinery provided by Government for the disposal of their crops, which they sold early in the season at Rs.12 per maand. The return obtained by the cultivators last year was from 5!d. to 2/4d. a pound. The price of Broach cotton at Bombay in December last was Rs. 245 per candy of 784 pounds, or 5d. a pound; the Varadi or Jari of Sind is inferior in quality to Broach, and its value is at least 20 per cent. less. The whole area under cotton in India in .1906 was 22,344,000 acres, and the yield was 4,908,000 bales, so that the one third of a bale per acre obtained from the Egyptian variety was well above the average. If effective measures to cope with that foe of the cotton plant, the boll-worm, can be devised by the scientific staff which is being added to the agricultural departments of the various provinces, the original estimate of Mr. Fletcher, the Deputy Director of Agriculture in Bombay, to whom is due much of the credit for the successful introduction of this high-class cotton into India, might easily be reached. He is of opinion that the lint per acre from Egyptian cotton should be three times that obtained from the indigenous varieties, and as it commands in the market double the price of the best native cottons, to replace the latter by the Egyptian should in Sind, where soil and climate bave been proved to be suitable, only be a question of time and of the extent to which perennial irrigation is available. The cultivated land in Sind served by the two chief perennial canals, the Jamrao and the Fuleli, amounts to 600,000 acres, and for the past six years cotton cultivation has become more and more popular. It is anticipated that in time, as the district becomes more closely colonised and the ryots learn to appreciate the greater profit from cotton than from food-grains, one-third of the whole will be put under cotton in rotation every year Looking still further into the future, when an additional two and a half million acres will have been rendered enl. tivable by the projected perennial canal in Eastern Sind for which surveys are now being made, and which was described at the annual meeting of the Karachi Chamber of Commerce last month as one of the largest and most ambitious schemes that have yet engaged the attention of Government," the time may come when the annual area under this fine longstapled cotton in India will reach a million acres. On Mr. Fletcher's estimate of a bale per acre, the Egyptian standard, this extended cultivation would nearly double the world's present out-turn of this valuable fibre, providing an important fresh source of supply for the raw material required by our Lancashire manufacturers.

Onr Cairo Correspondent writes:
I should like to draw the attention of the Public Health Department to the almost overpowering stench which arises from the Ismailia canal in the neighbourhood of Abon el Ela bridge, And would suggest that immediate steps be taken to remely the evil. To state thunt the condition of the canal, and its banks, is nothing short of a public scandal, is to employ a word which, at best, enn only convey & slight idley of the intolerable odour which
pollutes ille entire listrict. It is impossible to Adequately describe the stench which now
bangs heavily over the canal, but a perusal of Rudyard Kling's account of the Big Cal eutta Stirik" will give the reuler A graphic conception of its power. Even in winter, the noxious smells, which pursue one for the whole length of Sharia Abbas, are suffitiënt to erase a very serious epidemic, but now, when summer is with us, the sinell rather råsembles the essence of corruption that has rotted for the second time.
All towns of every country suffer, more or less. less, from the insidious attentions of some particular odour, exclusively their own, and sea ports are frequently the most offensive in this respect. Can one ever forget the rancid | atmosphere of Southamptoin at low tide, for example, or the sickly reek of Bombay or Port Said on a really sultry day! A smell is the inevitable outcome of crowdert humanity, but its strength varies considerably according to the negligent or cleanly habits of the population and also to certain natural advantages of temperature and position. Granted that the difficulties to be overcome in preserving a healthy atmosphere in a semi-tropical country are enormous, especially when the insanitary habits of uncultureil natives have also to be dealt with, yet, making allowance for all this, the sickening intensity of the Cairo stinks, specially in the quarter mentioned, has exceeded all bounds of endurance. The exact steps which should be taken to alleviate the evil mast be left to the authorities of the Public Health Department, but I venture to suggest that the prohibition of the canal banks as a public latrine would be a movement in the right direction. Also attention to the canal itself, the water of which has become stagnant since the recent dredging operations near the Nile inlet, would not be misplaced

THE WORK OF RESCUE.
The grim work of rescuing the injured and recovering the dead victims of the collapsed house was actively pursued yesterday, and this morning the task was still uncompleted. ty Al half past four this morning, however, the
Municipal authorities were compelled to give orders to cease the work of clearing away the el débris, for the part of the house which still et stands threatened to fall upon, the rescuers at and bury them. The wall was seen to tremble 28 and the occupants of the adjacent houses were they turned into the street, for it was not impossible ul that if a second collapse occurred other houses might be damaged by the fall. The fire brigade at this time brought two at stearners into action and with six hoses fed from the one engine at the Labban Caracol and the other under Port Napoleon, played upon the wrecked building for nearly three hours and finally pulled down the wall with ropes.
Shortly alter seven o'clock this morning attention was once more turned to the recovery of bodies with the result that nine dead persons were found. Of these two were native women, one a native man, one a native child, three European woman, one European man, and one European infant child.
Of the 17 injured persons who were taken | to hospital one man and one woman have died, one man was discharged as not necessitating indoor treatment, and 14 remain under treatment.
It is not yet known whether other persons remain buried and the work of clearing away the debris is being actively carried on without rest, but it is thought that all have been found. The total death roll up to the I present announts to 11. The majority of the bodies have been found Underneath the staircase, from which one must conclude that a warning shock caused the inhabitants of the house to make an attempt to rush out, but were overwhelmed in their efforts, which must have been frantic.

Beyrouth, May 27.
The leading article in one of your recent issues on Empire Day seems to have had a ready and responsive echo in our town. Indeed e the writer's earnest advocacy of the celebration e of a national fête on the ground of the noble el effects it is calculated to produce in welding n together the hearts of the sons of Britain sheltered in the four corners of the world, and | nursing therein the spirit of an abiding patriotism, has been justified and illustrated here in Flx striking manner. Not only has the celebration of this day on Friday evening been an occasion for patriotic demonstration on the Sipart of Britishers but also of their kinsmen : across the Atlantic, the American colony of Beyrouth, and it may not be too sanguine to | hope that the mutual participation in their two national fetes by the great sister nations abroad if thus continued may lead to the establishment of a bond of union Aar stronger than any artificial alliance can do.

and with thoughtful taste the host and hostess to I had it beautifully decorated and illuminated | with Chinese lanterns, with a kind of triumphal |arch in the middle across which shone in brilliant red letters "Empire Day". Refreshments were liberally served, and dancing was kept up till | after midnight. Before the crowd dispersed "Godt Save the King" was sung with patriotic fervour, 1 followed by three cheers for the host and hostess. I hear that neither the British Consul General nor any of his family were present, | although official, patronage would have been resirable in such an eminently national celebration. I am told however, that the Honourable Mr. G. Bie Ravndal, United States Consul General, kindly took part.

AN IMPOTENT GOVERNMENT.
A well-known local merchant writes:
I fail to see why the action of the Board o Directors of the Crédit Lyonnais is the subject of so much criticism in Egypt. There are no moral. obligations on any bank to join the syndicate. The first duty of a bank is to assist commerce and there is no reason why bank: should come to the rescue, except in their own interest, of the Bourses in order to maintain shares at a fictitious price. The one and only way is to let local shares reach their proper level, which will immediately bring in buyers, Under the systein of bolstering up the market by fixing compensation rates and minimum prices, intending buyers are on the contrary driven away. The foolishness of the system is obvious, for sellers are being all forced to go to London where things are as bad as here. The result of this lack of a free market and the wholesale selling in London are that shares are placed in a worse plight than they would otherwise have been if there had been a free market, and they were allowed to reach their actual level there may have been a certain amount of over-trading by the produce merchants, or how else could it be explained that the same quality of rice at Alexandria was selling a short time ago at 185. 3d. per bng against 21 6.30. in London. Certain bank managers have shown their ability by refusing to support the Bourse against the interest of commerce. It seems that the financial world is trying to make the commercial world pay for their mistakes. The only way to bring about stability is for a gradual liquidation to take place both in the share market and in commerce, and this will not be done in a moment.
My experience teaches me, in times of crises, bankers rarely discriminate and trent all alike. It therefore appears to me, that the final cial world, will make the commercial, world, suffer from their mistakes, by stopping the regular flow of credits.
The state of the London Stock Exchange is thus described in the city notes of the latest "Pall Mall Gazette" to hand. It fully confirms the statements given in our London Money Market letter, which we published yesterday :
It is not in this market or that, however, that the fall in prices is most marked. It is ng universal. And sound reasons can be advanced ew for each downward movement. But at the edd bottom of all, there is the simple-law working of supply and demand. There is practically no demand, and consequently a very little 5, show of selling affects prices. People are too nervous to buy, and although prices are at a bargain level, they hold aloof and express hal their fear of the Radical Government, the attacks on capital, and the other evils that have had so serious an influence in the markets for so long a time jiast. Gradually, of course, H-1 the impotence of the Government will be recognised, and as capital Hows back from m. trade, when the industrial activity slackens, and capital was sufficiently acclimated to get over the effects of the newissties due to the wars, we shall discover that the present level shy of many of our securities is far too low, and there will be a rapid recovery. But nowadays the investor is between the devil and the sleep sea. He has taken his capital abroad very largely, fearing during the last few years for its safety at home. Now he discovers that even his Argentine Railway dealers are fair weather men, and are very chary about keeping the market going in these uncertain times. And the same applies even more to some other recent favourite investment centres. He looks abroad, sees many millions of new capital issues during the last few days in the United States railroad 8 group, hears the threats of more, and realises the prospects of an American and Canadian wheat shortage. He recalls the need for large Outlay in the Mexican railway section, remember the maize shortage, and the growing cost of maintenance and expenses in Argentina, to say nothing of the locusts, and in other favour. elite railway stocks finds his minor troubles in the Antofagasta Railway issue, Cubari traffic uncertainties, and whatnot. He fears for the metal position, sees a general Rand strike, has our doubts about the Duma, and altogether feels remarkably like a Jonah-man. He has gone abroad and does not like it, and fears to bring his investment money home. Markets are failing all round him. So what money he has in his pockets he keeps there, and curses the Stock Exchange list and everybody connected with it. And that is your latter-day investment position. As for the mere City Editor who has to write about these things--well, the task is too painfully thankless to talk about.
The annual general meeting of the Egyptian Constructions, Ltd., will shortly be held when the accounts for the year ending March, 31st., | 1907 will be submitted. We understand the ifresult of the year's trading has proved eminently satisfactory, a substantial profit being shewn. The new branches, Grant, Bondi and Chinn, sanitary specialists, and Mark G. Boyes and Co., engineers, which were acquired at the beginning of this year, have materially strengthened the company, the results of the three months taken into account having exceeded the most hopeful anticipations of the directors.. The prospects of the company for the current year are exceedingly bright, and judging from the work in progress and new contracts received, (which together, approximate to nearly a quarter of a million), the present prosperity of the company will be well maintained.
MUSTAPHA KAMEL'S MANIFESTO.
The Khedive's interview with Mr. Dicey ha of aroused the keenest excitement in the Nationalist Press. The first line of policy was to repudiate its authenticity owing to the "great age me of Mr. Dicey, and the frequent instances of carelessness about facts in the series of articles aldrich he has lately contributed to the "Dail n Telegraph" from Cairo. This argument is nos n recognised to carry little weight and nev y policy has been started by the Nationalists er who now try to show that the Khedive's state s.ments mean nothing. We extract the following et passage from the signed manifesto which has n been published by Mustapha Pasha Kamel In reality the times are distant when is Khedive could decree the death of a nation o | The Egyptians are conscious to-day of then e. rights and their duties, and they know that their country is above all Khedives and above tall Sovereigns. Men come and go, but the y Fatherland remains and our only raison d'êtry n is to serve it and to sacrifice in its cause all your personal interests.
Having asserted which let us examine the influence which the Khedivial declarations -
those pronounced to M. Puaux and those stated in the presence of Mr. Dicey-can exercise on the National Movement The Khedive declared :
1. That he recognises the material progress of the country.
2.—That he desires all efforts to be directed - towards the satisfaction of the moral and intellectual necessities of the nation.
3. ---That he is disposed to give his people a constitution and to associate it with the governing of their country.
4.--That he wishes to be on good terms - with the Occupying Power and collaborate with it for the welfare of the country.
5- Thai, being the heir of Mohamed Ali, 1. The cannot destroy his work and replace Egypt beneath Turkish dominion.
6.- That of two foreign Occupations he prefers that of England.
That is the sum of the Khedive's conversations with Messrs. Puaux and Dicey. In his declarations, some remarks concern the nation, and some himself personally.
When he declares himself in favor of satisfy. Fling the moral and intellectual needs of the s people, and in favor of a constitution, he gains to him the whole of Egypt, and shows how he appreciates the strength of the National Movement.
But when he defends himself against the charge of having intrigued against England, of being aided Turkey in the Taba affair, and I when he states that he is ready to collaborate with the British Agent, he speaks for himself and only engages his own person.
All who know the truth concerning the political situation in Egypt, know that since the Taba incident relations have been strained between the King of England and the Khedive, and that it is on that account the visits of the Khedive to England have ceased.
"The King was, in other words, made to believe that the Khedive was secretly instructing || Turkey, while he was officially on the side of England.
His accusation is naturally hurtful to the Khedive, and it is his right, if not his duty to defend himself but he does not condemn the policy of Lord Cromer in saying that the Consul General can never govern Egypt by himself alone, and that he the Khedive is prepared to assist biter! | This declaration signifies one thing only : namely that Lord Cromer removed the Khedive. from power. And why?
The Occupation Press should tell us why. The Khedive's advent to the throne is not of recent date. He has been Khediye for 13 years. Why then is the collaboration between him and England still a desire ?
The Khedive has not then declared war on nationalism; but has been anxious by his two interviews published in the "Temps" and the "Daily Telegraph" to tell his people that he is with them" and to the English that "he is not against them." To have the sympathy of both Egyptians and English is a different, nay. impossible task
But the very critical position of the Khedive must not be forgotten, nor the threats which Cromerites incessantly thrown at him.
If the Khedive wishes to continue the work of Mohamet Ali, we agree heartily with him, not only as regards the non-replacing of Egypt under the Turkish yoke, but as regards the non-acceptance of England - obliged by Mohamet Ali to evacuate Egypt in 1807 -- as the mistress of our country!
In any case, the Khedive can be friendly or not with the English. That is his own business and the consequence of events.
Our programme cannot change on this account. We demand a life worthy of our new aspirations. Nothing can oblige us to accept death.
Our success can only strengthen the Khedivial throne. A constitutional monarchy with a free Egypt is certainly more happy and greater than an absolute sovereign - if that is possible--with a foreign occupation !
The national party has been accused of being inspired by Turkey, then by Germany, and lastly by the Khedive. The first two accusations have crumbled' away. The third is now about to share their fate
We can only be glad of that.
The day will certainly come when our enemies will recognize that the national move. ment is purely "national" as they have just recognized the baselessness of their previous calumnies!
(From the Tokio Advertiser" of April 25th).
It is admissible to sympathize with the national aspirations of "non-peoples" like the Egyptians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Poles without necessarily admitting their present fitness to govern themselves. It may even be said that the very predominance of an outside Power in the affairs of another nation is ipso facto proof that the nation in question is not strong enough to enjoy autonomy, which is merely another way of affirming that most countries possess the kind of government they deserve. It would be ridiculous to pretend that the modern Powers are always invited to interference by the peremptory dictates of altruism, and that the crudest form of earth hunger is ever the true motive of Imperialistic expansion.; but at the same time, a well-ordered State, like Switzerland does not to-day exist in constant dread of a modern Duke of Burgundy, and in mutual jealousy as much perhaps as the evolution of the spirit of international fair-play helps to guarantee the integrity of "bracelets" which could not otherwise hope to resist annexation if not absorption. Thus, while Switzerland, Denmark, Hol| land, and Belgium survive on their merits, | Turkey does so on sufferance, thought bit by bit the area of her independent authority is being circumscribed, and the end is merely a question of time.
There is an obvious analogy between Japan in Korea and Great Britain in Egypt, thought of the two problems the one confronting Japan ought to be by far the simpler, since, save in a very modified forın, and among individuals, it is not complicated by international jealousies. As far as the ethics of the case are concerned, Japan has as good a right to be in Korea as the English have to be in Egypt (verb. sap.) and accepting an accomplished fact with the best grace possible, all that is reasonably Hleft for the world to do is to watch and criticize | the use which Japan sees fit to make of her stewardship. America in the Philippines must perforce submit to the same scrutiny. It cannot honestly be said that either Power has made too brilliant a beginning, but then both are novices in the role of suzerain and mayhem. prove with practice.

On a parlé de nouvelles de fections apr s celle du Crédit Lyonnais, ce qui n'est heureusement pas confirmé. En réalits toutes ces informations doivent être considérées comme tendancieuses, car il est actuellement indéniable que le syndicat est bel et bien forme, qu'il est viable, et qu'il commencera ses opérations dès la semaine prochaine, soit pour enra yer, en cas de besoin, des dépressions ultérieu res, soit pour relever le cours des bons titres dont le niveau aura été abaissé par l'effet de ventes ou de liquidations forcées.

Major M. Coutts, Army Service Corps, who was latterly attached to the Egyptian Army, in the course of which he was employed in the Stores and Prisons Department as Assistant Secretary, has taken his retired pay. He spent close on 10 years in the service as an officer of the Royal Scots Fusiliers and the A.S.C., and took service with Khedive's Army in June, 1899, after having been up the Nile with Kitchener in the march to Khartoum, including the battle | which finished Madhism (mentioned in despatches, medal, Egyptian medal with clasps, | 4th class Mejidie).
Lieutenant General J. H. Wodehouse, C.B., C.M.G., who has been appointed Governor and Commander in Chief of Bermuda, is one of the most distinguished of our gunner officers. He was amongst the very first to join the Khedive's Army in 1883, and served continuously with it from 1883 to 1894, taking part in the Sudan Expeditions of 1884-85, 1885-86-89, including the actions of Teb and Tamai, de la fence of Suakin and operations round that place, up the Nile, action of Kirbekan, action of Giniss, Arguin, and Toski, and many other minor affairs . (mentioned in despatches fourli times, medal with several clasps, bronze star, two | brevet steps, 2nd class Mejidje, C.B.), and prior to that he saw service in the Zulu War (medal with clasp) and Afghan War (medal) and subsequently he commanded the 3rd Brigade in the North West Frontier Campaign of 1889-97, in the course of which he was badly wounded! in a night attack by the Mohmands. The appointment at Bermuda is worth close on £3,000 per annum.
In a few weeks, Lieutenant Colonel E. A., Herbert, M. V. 0., 6th Inniskilling Dragoons, 1 Cairo, will complete three years at the head of that gallant regiment, and will be promoted brevet colonel in the usual course.
The temporary withdrawal of Lieutenant C.A.L. Irvine, 2nd Battalion King's Own. Scottish Borderers, owing to ill health, has given Second Lieutenant E.D. Jackson, 1st Battalion, Cairo, his full lieutenancy. He gets his second star at the comparatively short service of sixteen months.
In September next, Colonel G.R.F. Smith, commanding the 3rd Battalion Coldstream Guards, will reach the regulation period in command, and will go on half pay. How the step will go is not yet known, as the future of the battalion is on the rolls for disbandment, under Mr. Haldane's arrangement
London, May 23.
Lieutenant J. S. Egerton, 1st Battalion Coldstream Guards, has been selected for the appointment of aide de camp to General Wodehouse, the new Governor of Bermuda and a renowned Egyptian soldier. Mr. Egerton has worn the bearskin for over five years, having. got his commission in the Coldstreamers in January, 1907.
Captain G.S. Higginson, Royal Dublin Fusiliers, on absorption, has been posted to a company in the 2nd Battalion, at Fermoy.
The following Army Council instruction is to be added to the Army Order 275 of 1906. - "Employment in the substantive rank of Colonel will, under the provisions of this Warrant, "remain a necessary qualification for promotion to the rank of major general."
The Army Council has ruled that officers desirous of joining the Mountain Artillery in India, may now apply for appointment to | either British or Native batteries.
At home, the conversion of the Lee-Enfield rifle is being proceeded with for the purpose of re-arming some of the new units which are to be formed or reformed for Mr. Haldane's Territorial Army
The Army Council has decided to go another step forward in order that Tommy Atkins may receive the full spiritual benefit of whatever denomination he belongs to. It has sometimes f happened that when the candidate for military glory was asked what his religious belief was he has replied that he was a Protestant, where upon he was promptly allocated to the Church of England, although he may have been a member of some other Protestant Church. To prevent such mistakes in the future, the recruiting officer bas now to read over to recruit the Churches recognised by the War Office, and he will therefore make his selection. All the same, there will still be some who will follow the time honoured religion of "going with the band" no matter what their religious opinions may have been. Tommy is very broad minded as a rule.
How are the mighty fallen. "The Rock", which under happier rule at home used to boast of a garrison anything up to 6,000 men, has now a skeleton garrison of some 3,500 only, and the naval exhibition of strength has | also fallen away in the like proportion, and that after millions have been sunk in making it the first class base of the Atlantic Fleet. | With such potentialities for evil ready to mature in Morocco the reduction of the garri, son of Gibraltar and its practical abolition as a base of naval operations are a piece of folly on the part of the present administration.
During the summer months the Mediterranean Fleet will be employed in cruising round its area of operations, with possibly a

During the recent stay of the Merlin, survey ship, at Suez, magnetic observations were made and various items or information collected for the collection of local charts and sailing directions. Amongst other survey work sentit into the Hydrographic Department of the Admiralty in the past year were re-surveys of Straight Boghaz; and Great Passes by Captain H.J. Gedge, RN., of the Egyptian Ports and Lights Service
Lord Charles Beresford has begun with the Channel Fleet in the way in which he means to an end. He is making the most searching inquiries into the gunnery performance of the individual ships, the monthly gunnery training return, and the weekly training returns, recently introduced, are to be rigidly inspected, and in short his lordship has manifested to every ship in his command that gunnery straight gunnery--is the paramount object and aim (no pun) of its existence. In other fleets and squadrons that we wot ot "Lord Charlie's" fed for straight shooting could be followed with substantial benefit to them.
The Admiralty has ordered that as each ship of the Royal Navy comes to port for refit, a separate mess is to be fitted up for each set of the servants of the ward rooms and gun rooms,

Mary Tumble, known in Washington as Mother Rumble Tumble, the strongest woman in America, is again a widok.
Her eighth husband, & wealthy merchant, died as the result of an accident at the Apollo skating rink, when Mrs. Tumble accidentally "tumbled" on him and crushed him to death.
Mr. Tumble, who was a good roller skater, was showing his skill in a fancy turn when he tripped and fell. Immediately behind him was his wife, weighing nearly thirty stone, neither size nor age being any bar to roller skating at the Apollo, and she fell on her husband's body with great force.
The strange part of the tragedy is the fact that in nearly every case Mrs. Tumble's husbands have met with misadventure causing un. timely death. Her seventh husband was killed by the sudden closing of a folding bed caused by the breaking of a spring under the weight of the unfortunate wife.
Her Weak and Bleeding Body
Scarcely Retained Life.
All Her Nerves Unstrung.
Resoued, when Hope had Died, by
DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS
"Like so many other girls I was careless of the importance of warm clothing during the | winter months, and in time this simple neglect found out my weakness." The speaker was Miss Ada Nevis, of 16, Havelock-street, Hull, who discovered that, following a bloodless and weak state of health, alarining results may develop from an ordinary chill. To-day she gratefully acknowledges that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, by making an | abundant supply of rich good blood, brought her back to health.
To their sorrow thousands of girls and women learn too late how treacherous is our climate. Clad ip attractive but flimsy dresses even in the bitterest weather, they run terrible risks. This was the case with Miss Nevis, who said, I was so stricken down that mother had grave fears that I would never reach my pre| sent age of twenty-one.
"Through my neglect one severe cold developed with serious complications. Very soon I got run down in health, and grew so languid and tired that any little exertion made me struggle for breath. Every deep breath I took causing piercing stabbing pains in my chest and back, while to go upstairs was so difficult a task that I had to drag one foot after the other. Time after time I would stop halfway, faint and panting for breath. Then neuralgia seized me until I was simply tortured by pain, with every tooth in my head aching. This was accompanied by a violent, hacking cough that | shook me to pieces. My blood was so scanty and poor that my face assumed a deathly pallor, with my eyes surrounded by dark rings. Only a girl in years, I had lost all vitality, with no control over my nerves.
"My lips were livid, my tongue furred and discoloured, and my throat dry and sore. Food became to me so distasteful that every mealtime was a trial. So unstrung were my nerves that I trembled and shook at the least sound, At night sleep was impossible. My strength | left me, and outdoor exercise so fatigued me that after walking a short distance I was quite done np. Conscious of my death-like appearance, if by chance I met companions I became nervous, irritable, and hysterical. Mother obtained medicine after medicine and I took them all, with only one result-my digestion was upset and weakened.
"At the crucial moment one anxious friend begged mother to get Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People for me. This she did, and after taking these pills regularly for some little time I made some improvement. My eyes became brighter, my appetite began to mend new blood rushed through my veins, and could digest a little solid food.
"I increased the doses of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, when I obtained refreshing sleep. The ing brength began to be built up again. took outdoor exercise, and could walk for hours. My whole body was in a healthy glow my cheeks were like peaches, and my vitality completely restored. Since my cure by Di Williams' Pink Pills I have never had a pai and have always enjoyed the best of health.
By steadily supplying. Good, Rich Blood building up the system against the ravages of disease and restoring lost strength--that how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People achieve so many wonderful cures.
