Builds up Strength
"It greatly helps the Digestive Organs."
14 Hospital Road, Bury St. Edmunds,
Dear Sirs, Some years ago I had a very severe complicated attack of stomach, liver, and heart trouble, followed by peeumonia. I was twelve months before I was able to get about, and then for two more years I was continually being laid up. The doctors were all of opinion that my casJ would end in consumption-in fact, my bowels were without doubt con- sumptive. I thought I would try Angier's Emulsion, and in a short time there was a notable change for the better. I did not mention it to my doctor at the time, but he noticed the change, and I then told him what I was taking. He approved, and I kept on with it, and coatined to improve steadily. It soothes the throat and lungs, and greatly helps the digestive organs. My appearance now is itself good testimonial in favour of Angler's Emulsion, and my many friends and acquaintances have noted with wonder the marvellous improvement in my general appearance and condition. (Signed) T. TREW.

What is the cry that now goes up, that now rings from one end of the land to the other, which is shouted demonstratively by employers and wailed Lemilancholy fashion by employes. Nothing less then "Too old at forty." And i noviso is this mattened more greatly than in the increasing baldness and greyness whier has amicted humanity.,
Ful a bugdred typical area and women of to-day, and what do you find-ther dib-tenths of these will show an alarming ad significant extent of hair weak noss and deterioration!
Have you ever given a thought to the important fact that all such Eair weakness findo a responsive and echoing counterpart in the features. That the lack of nutrition and virility which says the hair growth, has parallel influence of the lings and looks of the face.
Take your typical bald-headed man-he has generally furrowed cheeks and brows! Take your typical bair-weakened woman-she shows more wrinkles and marks of age on her face than doos her sister whose hair is full and natural,
Is there a "way out"? Most undoubtedly; and that "way out" is now bring placed prominently before the Brutch Public, for the proprietors of Edwards "Barione," the most renowned, powerful, and celebrated hair ro- storor and siniulant everproduced-11ot only assert that in "Harleno" will be found the means of transforming weak, disordered, stagnant, hair growth. into activity and health, but they back this assertion by offering a special gift bottle of this great hair-specific to everyone who acknowledges the need for such bel, for the purpose of a personal test.

"FIVOVEABLE" FRATUENS,"
If we have had the drawbacks to conted to which I have been referring, I need hardly say that we have also had some untervailing advantages; otherwise I fear our profit would not have been what we show it to be. We hare, for instance, & larger extent of transport service this year, because we have had five ships employed instead of four, although-I am sorry to may not at the flourishing rates at which they were engaged during the South African War, but at very low rates indeed.

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION.
We have obtained an adraningo as well in the improved Lředo to Australia, after the many years of depression under which that trade has suffered, but I cannot eay, to speak frankly, that the prospeels of shipping in the way of
moment by turilliant character. There isot, I think, without reason the apprehension of famine, or partial faming, in India. There apparently is also a risk of drought in Australis, and there is, above all, the fluancial situition in which the world finds itself at the present moment, and which must necessarily react in an aufavour alta manner on trade generally. But abors all those, so far as the shipping in o norted, there in the sim le fact that the tonnage of the world is too plontiful, and is in excess of trade requirements, a sing
ng what these trade require ments ors, and-if-we-are-not-always-working at fighting rates, we always appear to be on the immediate verge of doing so.

WORKING EXPARBŽB,
Abat or expenditore I need say com- paratively little, brosuse, with the exception of our repairs and renewals all our navigation expenditure during the past year has been higher than it was in the previous year-in cost, in victualling, in port charges, and-in Suez Canal dues. This is in a great measure onlng to the advance in prices, and owing also to the increased size of our vasols. the advance of prices the latest observation we have had to make is that for our four stone, which I need hardly tell you is a heavy item with us, we bare to pay 49 to 50 per cent more than we paid last year. Our milosge has been granter this year than it was before. It has mounted altogaibor to about 3,200,000 nautical miles.

CLARKE'S
Under these cironms asees you can hardly feel surprised at having to face the enorm advance which bas recently taken place. in the prise of coal.

This decision has been generally roognised by the public as perfectly fair, although to them an unpleasant neemity, But at the same time we never avoid opposition, and a crusade has been started on the Bombay side of India, headed by a assspaper of considerable influence, with the lamauisbla object, and, bopo, the impossible object,

But then, if we are monopolists, I shou'd like very much to know where and in what direction our monopoly lies, becans, so far as I am awar, we have to struggle hard every day for every ronny that the campany carna. Where our monopoly, for instance, in the passenger trafe with Dombay? I-look into the figures, and I had that in the passenger trefis to and from Bombay we try apr portion of something. like 60 per œn', which certainly and assuredly is not a moorpoly, Therefore the editor to whom I am referrig and his friends can find plently of cheaper ships-at all events plently of other ship-to carry him and them if they desire to avoid this cempang, bt whether those ships will be of the sams clase, the sima speed, and the same comfort are questions which he must settle for himself. (Applause.)
PASSENGER BATES.
Where a the grievance sad the tyrang in regard to our passenger rates? There are two very important factors which sates into the investigation of that question. The first of these is ons which I dare say wspspar editori never consider namely, the grant preponderance of the return-ticket business which carry
.on.
I think, speaking of the Donsbar passenger trafe, that every second ticket that we is as is return ticket at fare and a half, available for iwo years The seo nd factor, "equally sad perhaps even more important, is the serious pro portion of sewadee passengers, ich ws Carry under similar conditions at a very low Tats..
