THE
HE case of Mr George West, of 181, Evelyn Street, Deptford, London, England, is exceptionally interesting. Mr Wost says:-'I used to think I should go mad with the cons'ant suffering from kidney trouble and rheumatism. I could get no peace, no rest, no comfort, day or night, It made people ill to see me struggling to try to walk. My back was to weak that I thought it would break in two, and at last I lost the use of my limbs and my feet had -no feeling in them. The pains in my back were just as though someone were pulling the joints out of the sockets. The rhouma- tism, doubled me up, and I used to wish I cou'd die and be out of it all. But now I am well and bright again, and I can get about without the sticks I had to use before, and I enjoy splendid health,
It was right back in June of 1903, that Doan's Pills madd mo well, yet I am still woll, and believe my cure to be a lasting
UNO.
This testimony is quite unsolicited, and you are welcome to use it.'
Mr Edward G. Evans of 135, Childers Street, Deptford, S.E, kindly endorses the facts of Mr West's splendid cure by Donn's Backacho Kidney Pills, in the following:- Before using Doan's Pills, Mr West was away from business fivo months, and was An disabled, with rheumatism that at every stop he took his knees nearly touched the ground It was awful to see him trying to walk, and at last he could only just manage to move about by using sticks. He is splendid and well now, and has kept well over since his cure, although that was over A year ago,
Rheumatism shows a lax condition of the kidneys, and the presence of uric acid in the system in great excess. It is often accompanied by other kidney symptoms, such as Gravel or Gravel-stones, Watery Swellings in the Flesh, Cloudy Urine, Thick Settlement-Sandy or White-after the water has been standing 24 hours. Urine is Scalding and painful in passing, there is a feeling of Weariness and Pain in the Back, and the patient Aches in every Limb.
Doan's Backathe Kidney Pills are suc- cessful in curing these kidney troubles because they dissolve the crystallised uric acid and area, and increase the flow of urine, by which the impurities are flushed out of the system, and the kidney organism cleansed and restored to health.

Yachting.
THE CORINTHIAN CLUB, The race for the one-design class of the Corinthian Yacht Club for a cup present- ed by the Vice-Commodore, Mr E. M. Elazeland, was sailed yesterday. The following boats took part:-"Hibernia" (Mr Withers), "Gael" (Capt. Casey), "Theola "
(Mr Lenfesty), “Nina" (Mr Shepherd), "Aathore " (Mr Hand). The yachta atarted well together, "Gael" being last. Despite the stiff breezo blowing all boats declined to reef. A hard beat up against wind and tide to Mayor's East buoy saw "Asthore" gain somewhat. Standing over to Hongkong shore the last named passed East Point well to windward, but failing to weather a junk at anchor had to go about sharp, taking in a lot of water. Asthore" rounded the buoy first and maintained her lead to the finish, winning easily from "Nina", "Hibernia " being next, then "Thecla " and "Gael."

and the number of reasole which used the
Canal in the course of the year was 4,118, #gaint 4,237 in 1904. This falling off is attributed to the lessened traffic caused by the cessation of the Russo-Japanese war.i

Mr R. Gladstone) said that the land was PLANTS ! ready for carrying out the scheme of dock oxtension which would be submitted to Parliament during the coming session. The first step would be to make two new entrances in the river wall, each of them 135ft. wide, and there would be a vestibule dock, out of which the two others would accommodate steamers of 800ft, and possibly of 850ft. He understood that the draft of the new Cunarders would be 37 or 38ft., and the provision for such a depth was the chief item of cost in making docks. They also proposed to make a new dock of 11 acres at the Victoria Wharf, having 1,273 lineal yards of quay, and an entrance 100ft. wide. The probable cost of the contemplated now works would be a little over £4,000,000, and it would take seven' or eight years before they would be com- pleted, so that the annual expenditure the 26th February, 1906, at 11 ▲.M., at the
would be about half a million.
