ON THE CHOICE OF A WATER.

EXTRACT from the 'London Medical Re- corder, May 30th, 1890, by Gro. HERSCHELL, M.D. (Lond.)

In order to attain the highest success in the treatment of a case by a Natural Water, It is far better to study thoroughly one kind, and master its peculiarities, than to experiment with diferent sorts, each having a different dose and special

attributes of its own.

The advantages of one mineral water over another may be put under the following heads:

*1.--Smaliness of dose.

**-Absence of unpleasant effect. 13.-Sulphates of Soda and Maguesia In nearly- equal proportions.

· *4-Absence of unpleasant taste.

*On examining the chief waters on the Epg lish market with a view of making a selection, one is struck with the fact that a newly-imported water, the 'Franz Josef, contains 190 and 198

grains to the pound of Sulphates of Maguesia and Soda respectively. This is much in excess of the quanties contained by either Hunyadi Janos, Friedrichshall, or Aesculap. It is evi dently the strongest water by far, whilst at the same time it fortunately happens to de almost tasteless!.

AMERICA AND CHINA.

TIN is one of the most valuable elements of modern civilization. It exists in two forms. The first is that of a metal, 'soft,

Owing to expected troubles, several American silvery, ductile and durable, used in vast quantities for the manufacture of sardine-men-of-war have been ordered to Chioa. boxes and larger ones, to make the important alloy, brass. The second is that of money, no matter whether it be hard cash, consola, bank stock orrallway shares.

In the first it is extracted from the earth. It is mined in two ways, equally different.

In the form of an ore known as un-stone. In the second it is taken pure and simple- from the pockets of the guileless public. The former system is pursued in the Stralts, Cornwall, Montana, Tingha and Stannifor. The latter is employed in Lombard Street, Wall Street and Hongkong..

[

In the one the tools required are the spade, pickaxe, crowbar, drill and sledge hammer: in the other there must be a discovery by scientists (whose early education is invariably neglected), a series of astounding reports in the daily press, a glowing prospectus, promoters galore, a solicitor, a corporation limited and then usually a liquidator and a judge at

Chambers.

In the former system the earth is robbed and the miners enriched: in the latter the miners are likewise enriched but the rob- bery is confined to the credulous and gullible investors.

There is Un in Kowloon, Green Island and Hongkong. In fact the woods are full of it. Tin-mining has begun or is about to begin. Some one proposes to realize large and handsome profits.

DESPATCHES from the upper districts of Pahang intimate that, unless within a fortnight from now, there be suficient rain to re-open the river route, it will probably be found necessary to suspend all mining work at Raub and Tras and to disband the miners.
