A HINT OF VALUE. Those, who .get on in the world are those who never fail f o take a valuable hint when it comes their way. Here is a hint which may prove of great value to you : — Mr Peter L. Harold, Netherton, near Paeroa writes: “ For a long time I suffered terribly with kidney trouble. I used to have violent pains in my back, which the doctor said was really a severe attack of lumbago. He treated me for a while and I got all right, but later on the pain returned and I was very soon worse than ever. I saw the doctor again and he tested mv water and found that I had a stone in the kidney. He sent me-to a hospital and said an operation was necessary. My wife did not like the idea of an operation and urged me to try medicines first. I came home from the hospital and started to take Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills. For days I got no relief, and the agony J endured was too terrible for anything. By the time 1 had taken three bottles of Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills, however, I began to pass a lot of ’grit, like brickdust, and my suffe> ing eased somewhat in consequence. As I continued taking the medicine I gradually improved in health, and, after having used about fifteen bottles of the Pills, I passed a stone about the size of a pea. From then on I got better very quickly, and. now I feel splendid, and have only Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills to thank for my wonderful cure. This testimonial is entirely unsolicited, and I hope you will publish it so that other sufferers may know what a really good kidney remedy there is in Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills.”

Nature generally makes compensations. Here’s a case in point. The gum country in the North of Auckland is so poor in quality that the soil refuses to lend itself to agricultural operations. Yet this land, so unsuitable for the growing of ordinary crops, is splendidly adapted for tobacco culture, in proof of which you t have only to sample the really fine tobaccos now being manufactured from North Auckland grown leaf. These include Riverhead Gold, a mild aromatic with a distinctive flavour, Navy Cut (Bulldog) medium strengtn, and Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), full flavour. All these tobaccos are toasted, a process that has a good, deal to do with their excellence, by the way. Another of their good,.points is that they may be smoked with impunity. That is because .they contain but comparatively little nicotine. The success attending the culture of these tobaccos in what was formerly regarded as barren country is convincing growers that "there’s money in it.” The yield of leaf per acre represents £5O, and often more.*
