gROUGHT NEAR TO DEATH'S DOOR BY DYSENTERY.

THIS COLOMBO GENTLEMAN Vainly. BOUGHT TO BECOVER VITALITY AND STRENGTH UNTIL HE TRIED DE. WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS. "I was very nearly brought to death's door Home years ago by Dysentery." said Mr. A. J. Williamson, of Vinnar House," Mutwal, Colombo, Ultimately, after many months of painful illness, I was cured of the Dysentery, but its ravages left me in extremely weak state of health, and I had to exercise the utmost care in dietery matters, as the least indiscretion in this direction brought about a recurrence of my old trouble.

I was frightfully thin at this time and had no strength to speak of. I tried a number of Patent Modioines which were supposed to be good Toule remedies without obtaining say Tasting benefits,

Self and the Other By VICTORIA Cross,

London T. Werner Lanrio.

Another oritio has described this as "Victoria Cross" greatest book. It is certainly a fine piece of emotional writing the best of his we bavo yet read. A student destined for the Indian Civil Service, whose father is in India longing for his son's success and waiting to hear the result of the final examination, falls dangerously ill, and is nursed back to health and afterwords helped to gain the first place by on Indian girl of high caste, who herself has leon studying in England. They fall in love with each other; he relinquishes the position he has won, and takes up a subordinate position in the Consulate at Constantinople. As she is already married while young in India-though the marriage is not consummated-they cannot | marry, but she goes with him, helps him in his work, and eventually dies of plague. The author has struck a high note of tra.edy, and draws two fine characters in Naranyah and Francis Heath. Literary skill is joined to pootio grace, the whole book fanlive with a tender yet over. whelming and pure passion, unl ons regrets that postie justice has to be conciliat d by the death of a heroino as devoted and unselfish and' fasci naline as this laughter of India,

All men who have "passed" the aldermanic chair are not fools or ranes, nor are they wanting in the appreciation of the finer attributes that go to make up- human life. It is because of the falsity of its motive that the story fails to appeal to us, and we would advise Mr. Hyatt to devote more caro to his next book and to draw upon his foreign experience for colour and incident.

In a very graceful and gen- erous introduction Victoria Cross writes: "Here we have genius, genius that an afford to treat ridicule with contempt, blame or praise. with indifference, for genius works not to sat- isfy man but simply iu obedience to the Divine spirit that inspires it, nud it is this genius which by its own strength alone, whether the path before bin is smooth or stony, will carry the writer forward and place him triumphantly in the front rank of our novelists."

The anthor, whose identity is hidden under the initiala "D. C. R.," modestly claitos that he is not attempting to add to the Literature of the nations but it can honestly be affriged that he contributes some very interesting stories and sketches. The tales in this.collection are exceed. ingly well written. Some are light, but not so light os to be indefinite, and the interest in the tale itself and in the personalities is retained to the end. "Watching" is a most dramatiestory written with knowledge and vigour, and adds materially to the value of the collection. The tales are certainly worth reading and the author ja to be complimented on his good work.
