As we got nearer and nearer to Hot kong I became still more anxious about the landing. I wished I knew a little more about Jack Crosthwaite. I have seen so many young men rise quickly in the East to a position very different from the one they held at home, and it seemed to 'gete their hond. They would have done any. thing rather than acknowledge before their grand new friends that their fathers were men who earned their bread by their own honest toil. Would Jack be one of these!

This may be the death of him,' he mat- tered as they made their way along the main street of Hongkong. It was a slow process; every for minutes Isaac stood still to gaze at the strange seene, the throngs of Chinese men, some in rich silk robes, some in acanty cotton garments, their pig-tails knotted up at the hack of the head; little children with a distinctly small quantity of clothing on; small Japs with their bright good-natured smile; queer Koreans in their top-hats; tall, dignified Hindoo policemen in white uniform and bright red turbans, who looked, at the world through tragically sad dark eyes.

oxceptions, only prisoners of the worst type are sent to Saghalien-certainly besides convicts, ex-convicts, their wives and child ren, and the officials, there are probably nos a dozen free-born individuals on the island. Of murderers alone there are at least 8000, and one morning I passed a man in the street of whom I was warned to be careful, as he had already killed eight people. Murder goes on with impunity, and during my stay of a few days at Alexan- drovsk four people whom I had met were murdered, including a boy who was living in the same house as myself.

GENC towards making your Doan's |ENTLEMEN:-I will always do what Backacho Kidney Pills better known, be- cause they have proved such a blessing to me, and I believe in them. I have been a martyr to rheumatism ever since I was 20 years of age, and now I am 54. When quite a young man I had to walk with crutches or sticks. This went on for over three years, and since that time I have never been properly free from the rheum. atiem, and never so free as I am at the present time, since using Doan's Pills,...

During those 34 years I had several severe attacks of this terrible rheumatism. The one in October of 1897, when I was living in Wednesbury, was, I think, the everest attack I ever had; li kept me in bed for 10 months, and I became as helpless as a new-born babe. I was at- tended by one of the best dectors, but he seemed unable, to do me much good, al.... though he told me more than once that if I had been a millionaire he could not have tried harder-and I believe him.

But there was worse to follow not long after, I began to be troubled with the kidney seorations, the pain in passing boing almost unbearable at times, There was also a sediment from the urine. These distressing complaints kept getting worse and worse as months went by, until one day I couldn't pass the urine at all; I was in such a terrible condition at the time that I thought my race was nearly run.

was then that I heard about Doan's Backache Kidney rills, and they were spoken so highly of that I determined to try them. After I had taken a few boxes I felt easier, and now that I have taken ten boxes I feel quite free from any sign of rheumatism or kidney trouble. I am a new man to what I was, thanks to your Doan's Backache Kidney ills. They are indeed worth their weight in gold.

Hoping you will blouse this long letter, and again thanking you for my new health and strength, I remain,
