RACKED WITH RHEUMATISM.
AFTER PROLONGED AGONY THIS BOMBAY CUSTOMS CLERK FOUND A WELCOME CURE IN DR. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS.
As Rheumatism is caused through the existence of poisonous gold in the blood of the saforer, it follows that the only way to cure Rhounutism is to drive out this soid from the ystein. That is why Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so successful in overcoming the most severe cases of Rheumatism; by making New. Good Blood that cleanses the system of the impurities which are the root of the trouble.
The experience of Mr. J. M. Dias, a Customs Clerk, of Utelear, Thana, Bombay, is instanced in support of this statement." Al a recent interview, Mr. Dian said-

In 1905 I contrasted a hail chill, followed by shivering and high fever. I was treated by doctor and apparently got better, but soon after symptoms of Rheumatism appeared. I was attacked with pains in the body and limb so acute that life was rendered unbearable; in fact, the agony was so excruciating that, death would have been welcome.

Some of the things you produce doubtless prospects. We make the following extracts from the speech:-

Our Customs statistics in Chios are based rather on the carrying flag than on the actual places of consumption and production. It would be preferable to follow the second principle, but in these days of frequent transhipments, and also mercantile dislike to reveal or inability to indicate pisely the wheuce and whither of the goods dealt in, it is almost hopeless to attempt a change in the statistical system.

Don't Trifle With a Cough!
Cure it Now.
There is positively nothing equal to Angier's Emulsion for coughs, bronchitis and all lung affections. By its peculiar soothing and healing effects it stops the cough, allays soreness and inflammation, improves the breathing, and makes expectoration easy. At the same time it keeps the digestive organs in a healthy condition and acts as a tonic to the entire system. One day's trial will convince you of its soothing, cough-allaying, lung-healing power.

PRAISE FROM A DOCTOR.
Dear Sirs.--I find Angier's Eraulsion especi- ally valuable in chronic bronchitis, and I have no less than seven patients who are at present using it with very marked benefit. In two cases, accompanied with asthma, the effect is very marked indeed. I bave observed recently that the stomach can continue to take Angier's Emulsion almost indefinitely without any bad effects, hence I have had patients who were taking other emulsions abandon them in favour of yours. I know of no other preparation from which such excellent, permanent results have been obtained..

The "open door" does not mean that Japan is to be fettered by European disabilities, but that the European must be aqually able to do, in the interests of his business, what the Japanese finds possible
in the houding of goods in small quanti both and in traversing Chius in every direction in person(Chears).

But while you Europeans proceed on the prin cipel of competition, and in the war-to-the-death struggle for the command of the trade think nothing of crashing a rival, it is also to be remembered that where China is concerned you have to deal with a people whose idea is combination rather than competition, and that, * although trade is growing there and is creating new interests and now sdarves of wealth, it is, as already pointed out, a trade that (hins could dispense with, her vast population, covering
