WAMPOLE'S PREPARATION : a true and sura remedy for the ills and maladies of women. It is palatable as honey and con tains all the nutritive and curative properties of Pure Cod Liver Oil, combined with the Com- pound Syrup of Hypophosphites and the Extracts of Malt and Wild Cherry. Search the world over and you will find nothing to équif it. Taken before meals it improves the nutri- tive value of ordinary foods by making them easier to assimilate, and has carried hope and good cheer into thousands of darkened homes. It is effective from the first dose, and probably one bottle is all you may need. It is absolutely reliable and effective in Blood Impurities, Nervous Dyspepsia, Wasting Conditions, Melancholy, Chlorosis, Impaired Nutrition, Scrofula, Low Vitality, and all troubles of the Throat and Lungs, Dr. E.

Chefoo is expected to become the most im- portant of the recruiting stations. A special yamen has been Arted up in Chinatown under the supervision of a delegate of the Chinese Government.
The system of identification is complete. A very minute record is kept of each man who is shipped out. Wives and children of the coolies will be sent with them to South Africa, free of expense, upon application.
About ten large ships are now under charter to carry coolies between Chinese ports and the Transvaal, and many, more will probably be called into service as the recruiting proceeds. -Chefeo Daily News.
