In a letter received by his father in' Melbourne from Sapper L. Newton, in France, he mentions that a balloonist had to jump out of the basket on discovering that the ground cable had snapped. He descended at a terrific speed for some SOOft, and then slowed down a bit, for one section of his parachute had opened. He descended without the parachute unfolding any further, and would surely have been killed had not his umbrella, when only a few feet from tiie ground, caught on the branches of the only tree for several miles around the spot where he landed. His companion made a successful landing, but found he was minus an arm. He had detached his artificial arm when '"up," and in the hurry to get down he had forgotten it. Another day an observer ea#ne down with two machinegun wounds below the leg, but as the leg was a wooden one, the bullets caused liim but slight inconvenience. SERIOUS CHANCES. Arc Taken in Neglecting any Form of Skin Trouble. Any person takes serious chances, who neglects any sign of skin disease, for skin troubles have a tendency to spread, and there is also danger of becoming chronic, besides being very difficult to cure. Tiie safest remedy is Doan's Ointment. In using it there is no detention from daily occupation and the many cures made by it have made it famous in every corner ,of the world. • Mrs Jordan, Junction Road, New Plymouth, says: "For a good whils I had a skin eruption on tjie .back of my neck, the pain and irritation being at times most trying. I used several remedies in the hope of getting relief, but nothing did me any good. At last Doan's Ointment was brought under my notice, so I sent for a pot, and used it with splendid results. It gave me relief almost at once and eventually stopped the pain and irritation (completely. I earnestly recommend | Doan's Ointment to all who suffer witli any form of skin trouble." Doan's Ointment is sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3/- per pot, or will be posted on receipt of price by FosterMcClellan Co-, 76 Pitt Street Sydney. ' But, be sure you get DOAN'S. 11
