WHAT'S THE REASON, There are scores of people who drag out a miserable existence without realising the cause of their suffering. Day after day they are racked with backache and headaches, suffer from nervousness, dizziness, languor and depression. Perhaps the kidneys have fallen behind in their work of filtering the blood and that may be the root of the trouble. Look to your kidneys, assist them in their work—gWe them the help they need. You cannot use a more highly recommend ed remedy than Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills—endorsed by people all over the country.

Mrs. M. Jenkins, Warwick Street. Feilding, says:—“From personal experience I can recommend Doan’s B'ackache Kidney Pills to all who suffer from any symptom of kidney trouble. For a long time I was tor tured with severe backache which made my back so stiff and lame that I could not stoop, and all my movements were restricted. I was also subject to bad headaches, dizzy feelings, and could not get proper rest at 'night, but after taking a course of Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills ray sufferings were at an end. The most pleasing part of my cure is that although twelve months have elapsed since I last took these Pills, I am still well, a fact which proves conclusively that Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills are thoroughly genuine.”

ADRIFT. YOUNG SEAMAN’S TALE OF GEEMAN BEUTALITY.

‘‘You have only 480 miles to go,” jeered the commander of a Hun submarine as he ordered the open boat in which were Claude Featherstone, a young apprentice from Tunbridge Wells, and seven sailors to shove off, They had only two tins of bully beef aboard and suffered terribly for three and a half days before they were picked up. Their ship was torpedoed on the morning of September 11 without the slightest warning the engineroom being hit and the boilers burst. Many of the engineers and firemen were fearfully scalded, and as the ship’s gun, was put out of action the crew were helpless The submarine came to the surface and opened fire with both guns, and as the sailors began to lower their boats aimed directly at them. “The Huns summoned us alongside” said young Featherstone as he described his experience,” and then, putting a prize crew in my boat, made us row backwards and forwards for four hours from the ship to the subbarine with copper, brass, and other fittings of value They took our gun, and the German sailors were allowed to go aboard and take any clothing they wanted. “Why, the brutes even dragged the oilskins and boots off us and took our personal possessions—even little souvenirs they seized and flaunted in our faces.

“They commandeered all our food and meant to turn us adrift to starve but fortunately our officer managed to hide two tins of bully beef. Then they ,put bombs in the hold of the ship and sank her and left us to our fate. “For three and a half days we drifted and tossed about in a heavy sea, suffering terribly from hunger and thirst. Our faces were blistered by the continual wash of the sea and we were completely exhausted We were nearly at our last gasp and ready to end it all and jump overboard, when a patrol boat hove in sight and we were rescued. ’’

Another boat, containing 25 of the crew, was sent adrift, separately, and Featlierstonc had no idea what had become of it. It has since been recovered with only five men, all Chinamen alive, As it put off from the submarine the Germans shelled it, killing four of the men, and the same night it capsized two or three times, drowning others.

neglected colds mean BRONCHITIS Unheeding “j us t a cold” often results in Bronchitis, which, unless speedily cured, spells pneumonia, or something worse. At the first symptom which is painful dry coughing, accompanied by rapid wheezing, and tightness through the chest take Baxter’s Lung Preserver. It is just the remedy you requrie for colds, bronchitis, coughs and sore throats. The test of time has proved its wonderful efficacy. Your chemist oi store has a big bottle for you. n. 5.4
