People would suppose that a new currency polloy, was being embarked upon. The present proposals would inflict serious injury upon the Bombay cotton

From his experience of many years in the opium trade with Chips he felt confident Government's estimate for a chest was too low and challenged Government to pat ap their allotment of a chest for 1912 today.

The Great American Dentifrice-An Ethical and an Honest One
To meet the demand for an honest, ethical, antiseptic, non-acid liquid denti frice, SOZODONT was produced, and has for sixty years been finding increased favor in every land where teeth are cleaned. SOZODONT TOOTH POWDER was produced later to supply the general need for a tooth powder free from pumice, charcoal, powdered quartz or grit of any kind, yet with sufficient abrasive properties to make it valuable as a cleanser and polisher of the teeth. Now SOZODONT TOOTH PASTE has been introduced. It combines the good qualities of the powder and liquid. It is delightful to use and is free from any harmful materials.
For years we have tried to educate the public to call upon ther dentists once or twice a year and in the meantime cleanse and preserve their teeth by the use of our Sozodont preparations.

He disagreed entirely with Mr. Branyate's contention regards the effect of the last currency legislation. Success then had been ultimately achieved only on the ruin of any mill,

rente, since beer and spirits in bonded ware- houses were in large quality. Government ware bound by no precedent in this matter.
The stueadmoat was rejected.
Mr. BRUNTATE disagreed with Mr. Dada bhoy's contention that a tax on silver would suhanes prices in India. The only object of Government was to raise revenue. There was no connection between the tax and any cur ranoy policy. He asked whether the need which existed for revenue could be met with less privation to anyone than by taxing silver, Regarding the case put forward on behalf of the Bombay mill industry: against the tax, Govern ment desired to do all they could to meat arguments of so weighty a ustare. The case was based upon the supposition that the price of silver would fall. The fall in the price of silver sinos the tax was announced to the present had been ona balfpenny per ounce or two per cent, The full in Eastern exchanges had been about three per cant. It wa this fall of two or three per cent, which the Bom bay industry thought would be disastrous, He did not think this a legitimate deduction. There had already been some recovery in silver prices and Government were entitled to that the fall would not ultimately exceed two or three per cont., since in such cases the ten-articles, and that would seriously affect the ro deney always was fce trado to over-estimate rather than to under estimate the amount of adjustment necessary, and he did not think that two or three per cont. would be more than a small disturbance to the cotton trade, That this was also the view of Indian cotton will shareholders as shown by the smallness of the fall which had taken place in Bom- buy cotton mill shares since the tax was sunounced. The currency of China again was copper was rather than silver tools, and rather on the exchange price of the former than purchases of cotton yarn in Chins depuuded of the latter. He claimed that the small injury therefore, if injury there was, from this tax would not have any permanent effect upon the Bombay cation Industry. The depreciation of silver when the Indian mints were closed hud been twenty-five per cent, and permanent tartes of two or three per cent, temperary, as in the presant instance, yet the dislocation of trade had been temporary only after the closing of the mints, the exports having risen invitend of $20 per share be paid for account of the and fifty per cent. It was reasonable, there fore, to suppose that the disturbance now would be insignificant. The present depression of the cotton industry had been due to causas other than the fall in erchange. The millowners would reasonably oppose any measure which might conceivably stoot them adversely, but Gororament could not be expected on that account to abstain from resorting to a measure which on broader grounds was desirable Re Canton and Macao Steamboats have been made SHIPPING-Further sales of Hongkong, garding

Mr. Sydney de Kretzer, of Colombo, Ceylan
(from a photograph}, Colombo, Ceylon, proves that it is not too much to describe the value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pille in cases of Erysipelas as exceptional and unique. Mr. de Kretser said
"For a number of yeara I suffered, off and on, from Erysipelas and from the high fevers it caused, and was never able to effectually care this malady, althongh I tried numerous medi- cines, besides having doctors advice. The apcrient remedies prescribed in such cases only reloved the fever temporary and left a very weak indeed. Sometimes I would have to take to my bed for two or three days at a time, being quite unable to attend to my work at the diicə.
It was on the recommendation of a relative that I gave Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a trial The result was instantaneous and wonderful Previous to taking the Pills I used to bo absolutely exhausted after a hard day's work, and would throw myself on the bed completely done up when I got home, but after the first half bottle of Dr. Williams Pink Pills I seemed to derive fresh-energy from every cuso, and felt so fresh and vigorous of an evening as to be it, if necessary, for another spell of work.
"Previous to taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I very rarely enjoyed a good night's sleep, but after a few bottles only I was able to look for- ward with pleasure to bed time, for I knew that is good night's sleep was in stere for me. I have been immensely benefited by Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and have not had an attack of Erysipelas
FOR OVER SIX MONTHS.
"For many years, too, I was troubled with peculiar twitching movement in my right hand which was particularly noticeable when writing. This involuntary twitching was caused by an atrophised nezve in the arm. After I had been using Dr. Williams Pink Pilla for some time
my fingers---which formerly were shif—became quite mobile, and the twitching entirely ceased, As a mark of my gratitude you are, at perfect liberly to give as much publicity to this state- ment as you please.****
