“A woman buys a sewing maching for what it will do; sot as an article of furniture. A man carries a watch to tell him, the time; not as an covestment of surplus capital. The same principle when one is ill. We want the medi- cine or the treatment which will relieve and cure. The friend in need maat be a friend indeed-something, or somebody, with a reputation, with a good record, with a history that justifies our confidence. There should be no guesswork in treating disease. People have the right to know what a mrficine is, and what it will do, before they take it. It must have behind it an open record of boneft to others for the same diseases,—a series of cures that proves its merit and inspires confidence. It is because it has such a record that

A home wire of 18th ult, give: further particulars of the sinking of British submarine boat Number At which was ruh down and sunk off the Nab lightship that day by a Donald Currie liner, and eleven persons drowned, including Lieut. Mansergh, the senior officer, engaged in submarine work. It seems that the liner parsed on and reported that she had struck a torpedo. At the time she was struck the vessel was fī the lightship engaged | in the manœuvres, and was lying in several | fathoms of water waiting the approach of a battleship. The boat was one of the newest of the fleet of submarine vessels and was built from the latest models, but she has always been a poor diver. . Tie name of the Donald Curric liner which struck the submarine boat is the Berwick Castle, from East Dondon, South Africa. The ss of the boat was not known for same hours after the liner bad reported to the maneuvring flect that she had struck a torpedo. The officers of the liner say that they saw a glisten ing torpedo like hill in the water, and it is sup posed, therefore that the submarine boat mše just before she was struck. The officers of the

30.61265 submarine bat had been struck and continued 4,2:4-22 operations expecting that the vessel would 18,293-5 reappear. Finally a search was made, and the breaking of the waves revealed the presence of 5,986

ACCIDENT IN AN ENGLISH

COAL PIT.

While working in a Hanley coal pit some years ago John Henshall lost an eye from;a spark at the pick-end. The injury set up inflammation, which compelled the doctors to remove the eye. Finding his occupation a a miner gone, he has since worked as a gar doner and at odd work. He is a most respect- able and intelligent man, the victim of repeated misfortunes,

"I am getting on in years," he said "searly sixty-eight-and since I lost my eye I have. done no work in the pits. That is, however, not the only trouble I have had. For two years I was laid up with an attack of liver complaint, 19,768.08 which caused acute indigestion. I also suffered
