Clarke has been associated with the mercantile" interests of the Colony for close upon half a century, first as an officer on the boats of the Hongkong, Canton and Macao Steamboat Company, then as Secretary and later as "a Director. He has seen Hongkong grow from a place of comparative- ly small dimensions to its predent proud position among the biggest of the world's ports, and it is to his credit that he has played a pat unimportant part in its deve- lopment

Our Portrait is of Mr. WALTER EWHITE, of 41 Dolla-jane, Chiswick, London, England, who writes t

Some three years ago I had a swelling in the imos cap. 'Oas night. I knocked my knoo which caused a little uleer which in timo, no matter what I did, developed heross the whole knee, I had one large gaping wound, and with all the care and attention that wound was open for 15 months. Being an all-round-athlete, Holder of many cups and prizes, I began to give up all hope of ever taking my place again among the athletes. One day one of my felley workmen inquired how my leg was and fold me it was Clarke's Blood! Mixture I wanted. That day I bought a bottle, and when I had finished it I was not only surprised myself, but all. my workmates could see improvement

could bend my knee a little and that gave me encouragement, so 1 persevered with it and am glad to say soven bottles completely cured me. I am now as well as over, and am still holding my own as no athlete."
