A HINT OF VALUE.

Those who get on in the world are those who never fail to take a valuable hint when it comes their way. Here is a hint which may prove of great value to you. Mr C. C. Miles, Nelson, late of the Golden Fleece Hotel, Nile Street, says:—"Some years ago I was suddenly seized with terrible shooting pains across the back and loins; they came on suddenly but they did not leave me; and I suffered for months. My back was so bad that I could not stoop down to lace my boots without suffering agony, and if I bent my back, would need assistance to get up straight again. My rest was broken, and I could not turn in bed. Soon, urinary- trouble was added to my sufferings. I tried several remedies, but they did me no good whatever. Seeing Doan's Backache Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for kidney disease, I sent for some. It was a good thing I did, for they cured me, and it only took four boxes to:;effect the cure. Now I can move about freely, being quite free of backache, and the secretions are regular. I know my cure is due solely to Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. I can highly recommend this excellent remedy." Two years later, Mr Miles says:— "Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured me of urinary trouble and backache two years ago, and Ihave been quite free from these trying ailments ever since. That is the best of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, they cure for good." r

Have you backache, weak back, headaches, giddiness, gravel, urinary trouble, or any other of the numerous symptoms of kidney trouble? Remember, kidney complaint is fatal if neglected. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills cured Mr Miles, they will cure you .also: For sale by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per bottle (six bottles 16s 6d), or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-McClellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Sydney. But,- be sure you get DOAN'S.

A: recent case in the- Criminal Appeal Court illustrates the scrupulous fairness of the English law to prisoners (pays the; London correspondent of the Melbourne Argus). The man was sentenced to four years' penal servitude for larceny, but appealed on the ground that he had been questioned, when giving evidence, as. to his previous record. This is illegal, unless the prisoner himself has attacked the character of a witness for the prosecution. In this case he had accused the policeman of telling lies. But the Appeal Court considered this only an emphatic way of denying the charge; therefore the questions were improper, therefore the conviction was quashed! We can hardly help contrasting this with the'conduct of the Steinheil murder trial in Paris, where the accused woman was unsuccessfully bullied, by the judge, with a view to confession, even to the extent of suggesting that his next question would make her at least sham a faint. For once the French system overdid itself, influencing the jury unintentionally in the prisoner's favour.

Jerusalem the Golden is said to have been a land flowing with milk and honey (says the Australian Star of-December 22nd), but it is likely to be a mere circumstance'to Sydney in the very iiear future, when the dust nuisance is abated. Sydney is to be a city spread all over with golden syrup. _.Yesterday afternoon there was a, trial run of a new dust-arrester in College and Oxford Streets. After trying tar and petroleum, and other more or-less sticky and smellful substances, molasses mixed with water is now being used. This sweet stuff was sprinkled over the streets with a lavish sprinkler, and the dust just waited patiently to be laid low. In a few minutes the flies commenced to buzz round, and they are .reputed to be emigrating fast from all the far suburbs. But probably they, too, will find a sweet repose in an early grave next Friday, when a second sprinkling takes place. The inventor claims that two spreadings of golden syrup will make Sydney sweot and wholesome for some time to come. No dust will rise, the streets will only need watering once a week, anc^ people will escape the dangers of being infected by microbes borne on the breeze, it it does do all that the inventor claims no doubt it will be taken up by tne Council.
