It is a popular notion that the mere fact of sleeping in a tent is a healthy thing. But this is not so. A great deal depends on the tent, as Nurse Rochfort pointed out on Tuesday in dealing with consumption and its prevention, at the Tuberculosis Dispensary (says the Christchurch Press). A tent which was fastened down all round was practically hermetically sealed, and did the person sleeping in it more harm than good. The tent which would do any patient good was one which would allow a free circulation of air by reason of one end being open and the sides rolled up. Unless the air really got to the patient, indicated Miss Rochfort, the mere specific of sleeping in a tent was of not the slightest use. , According to the Cairo correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, Cairo seems to be in a bad way: "Burglarieß, robberies with violence arid thefts are the > order of the day. Side by side with the military regime there is a laxity of morals which is allowed to go on unchecked. The, number of cafes in Cairo is remarkable, and fresh -ones are being constantly opened. In some streets leading off the principal street there are nothing; but cafes. At some of the music halls and theatres pieces of the grossest immorality are given. These are soirees noires, to which men alone are admitted, where;the performances are of the lowest., conceivable order. ''Cairo is the "* grave of the soul," said Bishop Blyth, and the opinion of the correspondent is that he was not far wrong. I WAS A SURPRISE TO MYSELF AND ALL. MY ACQUAINTANCES AFTER USING DR. SHELDON'S GIN PILLS. "For a long time I have been seriously troubled with racking pain and sleepless nights, with every indication of bad Kidney troubles and it« serious complications," writes Miss E. Allen, 903 Colombo street, Christchurch, N.Z. "I suffered also from very Bad and bilious headaches; and with mental and household worries my life had become a burden and a tiresome endurance, which completeley eradicated any ambition in business or domestic duties, and left me a complete wreck. After a lot of persuasion I was induced to give Dr. Sheldon's Gin Pills a trial, but as I had tried so many advertised remedies with no good results'; I took very little interest in them, as I had given up all hopes and ambitions. I might mention the effects were beyond my most sanguine wishes. After the first few courses I fotind myself taking fresh interest in things, with the total disappearance of the above painful symptoms, leaving me practically cured— a surprise to myself and all my acquaintances—for which I tender my most grateful thanks, and conscientiously trust. Dr. Sheldon's; Gin Pills will attain the success they deserve. Dr. Sheldon's Gin 'Pills are sold at Is 6d 'and 3s. Obtainable at W. K. Wallace's, Chemist.
