A SUFFERER FROM DROPSY RECOMMENDS DR. SHELDON'S GIN PILLS. "For a very long time I have been a sufferer from Dropsy in a very bad form indeed. I might mention that I have been tapped, so you can Bee my ease was very severe, but, thanks to Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills, I am now almost completely cured and with a little longer continuation of Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills I fully expect to be in my normal state of health again," writes Mrs. M. "Bartlett, 10 Charles-street, Ashburton, N.Z. "All hope was given up for me before I started to take Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills, and my case has been a wonderful recovery as my death was expected a long time ago but thanks to Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills I can see a new life ahead and all my worry has gone to the winds. Dr. Sheldon's' Gin Pills are always in the house and always will be with me wherever 1 go as I have absolute faith in their virtues and recommend them to all reading these few grateful words." Dr Sheldon's Gin Pills are sold at Is Gd ami 2s Cd. Obtainable everywhere. Manual activity on a big scale is prevailing just now in the Waitakere hills (says the Auckland Star). It is connected with the construction of the big dam a't Nihotupu, which is to conserve a. quantity of 540,000,000 gallons of water for the supply of Auckland resident!). The dam is being erected immediately above the big waterfall, which is 110 ft in height, and the dam itself will be nearly 150 ft above stream level. The length "at the top will be 520 ft. At the bottom the thickness of the dam Is 104 ft, and at the top 12ft. Above the weir level piers will be erected to carry the roadway, which, it is ultimately hoped, will serve as a portion of the tourist track extending from the present motor drive up to the Nihotupu veservi"» across the dam. and thence to ;the West Coast road. The dam will have a sur* face area of .10 acres, and the catchment area will be 2200 acres. As the contract time is three years and a half, the work should be completed in 1010. HOW TO BREAK UP A COLD. It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold can be completely broken up in one or, two day's time. To do this, however, prompt action is necessary. The first symptom of a cold is a dry loud cough and a profuse watery discharge from the nose. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is taken every two hours on the first appearance of these symptoms it counteracts the effect of the' cold and restores the system to a healthy condition witi:in a day or two. Sold everywhere. According to recent advices from the United Kingdom, another unsinkable vessel is to constructed. Naturally those interested are confident that this time the ideal has been achieved, and the vessel will be all that is claimed (comments the Sydney Shipping List), but those in shipping circles have had proof that requires some stronger contradiction than the mere statement that what has been so long sought after is now near to accomplishment. For instance, there is still fresh in the mind the Titanic, of which the greatest claims of this nature \v- e put forward, yet her end shattered the theo.'y most completely, and left tlie impression that such an assertion was tantamount to a challenge against nature and the Supreme Being, as one journal published in the United Kingdom stated after the loss of the Titanic. If it comes to pas*} that a vessel is built that is really non-sinkable, and no matter what happens can keep afloat, it will be a most wonderful happening, but it does not do to be so certain as those that are now making the claims are, until more absolute proof is available.
