Reports reoeived by the Minister for Public SVdrka indicate that very satisfactory progress generally is being made on all three sections of the North Island Main Trunk railway. There are at the present time about 1500 men employed on these works, which it is intended to push on with all expedition during the summer months. Something like a record is held by a woman in Christchurch named Isabella Leckie, who, on being charged at the Magistrate's Court wish drunkenness and with being an incorrigible rogue and vagabond, pleaded for another chance, stating that during the last twelve months she bad been at liberty only about four weeks. "That's your own fault," said the Magistrate. "There are 132 [convictions against you, and I am determined to clear the streets of such women 'as you. Eighteen months' imprisonment.".

A WELLINGTON L&Dlf,

EELATES AN EXPERIENCE WHICH WILL INTEREST MANY MASTERTON PEOPLE. Mrs 8. E. Robertson Beach Street, Petone, Wellington, says :-i-"Fivo years ago I fell down a culvert and hurt my kidneys, and a long bad time of kidney disease set in. E/ven before I fell I had suffered, more or 1688 with pains in the small of my back and j giddiness and headaches, but afterwards these symptoms were so alarming that I never expected to recover, nor did nay friends expect that I would. The bladder sgave me the roost trouble; the secretions were thick and mostpainful besides being discolored with blood. Sometimes the blood seemed to leave the kidneys very plentifully showing what a terrible state those organs wore in. My back always ached across the loins, but, at times the agony was something frightful, especially when I caught cold, and I seemed to take cold very often. No precautions seemed to protect me, and at these times I would be a perfect cripple, as inflammation, of the kidneys would set in. I was wearing out fast and used to look thirty years older than I was. being so haggard and drawn, and fell away to a mere shadow. Indeed my sufferings were so terrible that I almost .'Ookei forward to death as an end to my agony. I was treated by a number of doctors,oneafteranother,andlalsohadhospital treatment and was operated upon a number of times. One doctor told me I should never get well and the most hopeful news was that I should not be well for years so you may guess what an outlook I had before me. I had my photo taken at the end of the year 1900, some of my friends wishing to have one before I underwent another operation at the hospital. It was just at the time I had this photo, taken (which made me look like a woman of about 60) that a friend of mine bought me a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. ' I was not taking any medicine at the time, the doctor evidently thinking it was not necessary on account of the immediate operation, so I commenced using these pills right away. You will scarcely credit it, but I felt that the pills were . doing me good before I had finished talcing one box. Eyery dose did, me good service and every day I felt better and better. When I had taken the fourth box your representative called to see how I was getting along, and I felt so much better that 1 allowed him to take down thefacts for publication. But I was not cured. However, I was so well, I did not need to undergo the operation. At the same ,time you see, the change in my health was so great that it almost seemed like a cure. My secretions were clear and the bleeding of the kidneys had stopped, and at times my back was quite free of pain. I kept on using the pills after this and at last I was quite cured. In all I took about fifteen boxes of the pills, and I stopped taking them nearly two years ago and lam still well. I consider it is a marvellous cure. People who saw rne during my illness scarcely know me now; I have gained flesh and look my, proper age. In fact. I feel that Doan's Backache Kidney Jfills saved my life. My kidneys are in a thoroughly healthy condition now. AH my friends know how great a cure these pills made in my case, and I am glad to speak in favour of this medicine so that all sufferers may know how valuable it is for kidney complaint." Mrs Robertson, makes a further statement in May, 1904. She sayß:—l ! am still quite well. =md it is 3£ years since Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured me. 3J years .is a long time, and I feel now that am cured for good.
