ROUND THE WORLD AT 82. To travel round the world on a business trip at the age of 82 is the achievement of Captain Robert Dollar, wealthy shipowner of San Francisco, who has just spent a week at the office of his London agents. Captain Dollar, who is understood tho be the original of “Cappy Ricks” the hardy old shipowner depicted in the novel of that name by Mr Peter B. Kync, has made the circle of the globe in his own shijw nearly every year for some time. He is accompanied on these voyages by his wife, who is about two years younger than he is. When lie visits England he goes to Falkirk in Scotland, where lie was born. His father, a timher-vard worker. had fallen out of work when he left in 1857 as a boy of 13 for Canada. When he landed in the Dominion he was penniless, hut to-day he .is a millionaire and a big power both in the shipping and lumber industries. He is the head of the Dollar Steamship Line. It is said that he did not learn to read or write till he was 19. Diarrhoea comes on unexpectedly and before the patient realises it a serious disorder may develop. During the summer attacks are very frequent and often are so swift in their results that life is in danger before a physician can be summoned. Everyone should keep a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the home for immediate use in cases of this kind. If given at the first unusual looseness of the bowels the attack mav be avoided.—Obtainable from E. D/Smith, Chemist, Gisborne.
