Mrs S, L. Morrison, llumllray St., Ballarat, Vic, writes : "Both my mother and I are firm believers in Chamberlain's Tablets. We have used them for stomach and liver troubles, and have found them most effective. The use of most pills is followed by constipation, but Chamberlain's Tablets are so mild and gentle in their action that they leave no bad after effect." For sale by G. W. Hutchins, chemist, Balclutha.

SWITZERLAND'S UNEMPLOYED. Miss Edith Sellers in the 'Nineteenth Century 1 tells how Switzerland tackles her unemployed —"Begging (she says) is a crime, and so is vagrancy; and in some cantons the police receive a special fee for every beggar or vagrant they arrest. If a man is out of work there ho must try to find work; for if he does not the authorities of the district where he has a settlement will find it for him, and.of a kind, perhaps, not at all to his taste—tiriiif.; and badly paid. And he cannot refuse to do it, for if he does be may be packed off straight to a penal workhouse, an institution where military discipline prevails and where every inmate is made to work to the full oxtent of his strength, receiving in return board and lodging with wages of from a penny to threepence a day. And when once he is left there, there he must stay until the authorities decree that ho 'shall depart, for as a penal workhouse is practically a prison he cannot take his own. discharge and the police are always on the alert to prevent his running away. No matter how long his sojourn lasts, however, if does not cost the community a single penny, for in Switzerland these institutions aro self-supporting. . . The man who is out of work through his own fault and because he does not wish to be in work is treated as a criminal.'" In most districts there is a special fund from which grants are made to respectable persons in temporary distress. Relief-in-kind stations or casual wards organised on philanthropic lines are now maintained in every part of industrial Switzerland for the uso of the respectable unemployed. Now is the time to take a holiday, get out into the country, on tho mountains, and visit the seashore, but do not forget to take a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy along with you. It is almost certain to be needed, and cannot be obtained on railroads or steamships. It is too much of a risk for anyone to leave homo on a journey without it. For sale by G. W.
