A BOON TO MOTHERS.

CHRISTCHURCH MOTHERS WILL PROFIT BY THE EXPERIENCE OF ANOTHER. Among all classes of people we find children suffering from weak kidneys. The intelligent mother knows that this is not a habit, and searches for a remedy. It is something very hard to relieve, and the family physician tells her the child wilt grow; out of it in time. Sometimes they do, and! sometimes they do not. In tlhe meantime annoyance and embaaTassment is the result. If anyone knows « remedy is it not an act of charity, is it not a duty to make it public? Should selfishness or pride keepit concealed? Mrs Hofean, of 114, Peterborough Street, this city, has used) DoanAs Kidney Pills in her family, and makes the following statement for the benefit of ; anxious mothers and the relief of interesting little children: — " I can strongly recommend; Doan's Backache Kidney Pills for weak kidneys. My boy was pretty bad in -tfliat way, and hiadi been for some time, and I could never get ai cure for the trouble. 'Indeed, it is very hard! to cure this sort of ailment, as I know by experience, but I am glad to say that Doan's Kidney Pills have proved successful. 1 Mothers should! know about such a sea-vice-able medicine as DOAN'S Backache Kidney Pills.

And it so chanced that the reverse was repeated and repeated again. " Information of our movements must leak out!" said the Great Man in Pretoria. " There is only one man who can possibly know in time," answered the Director of Military Intelligence. - s " Have him watched 1" ordered' the Great Man. Almost immediately there arrived in the concentration camp at Antonio's centre, a Dutch hospital \nurse. And she was really a beautiful woman. Antonio saw her and was conquered. But she, too, was patriotic — she would have nothing to do with Staff caps. But she made friends with Ohris Van Heerden. They were both working for the one cause. Then suddenly the Dutch nurse became weak. , One evening she came to Antocio, even as Chris had come to him. She tad a brother in the concentration camp at Ottospruit, "would she be able to send ! him a cake and some money?" "There is no convoy going— but let me see, yes, I can do it. Jackson's column will go there from here on Wednesday. Only — only: " "Yes, I understand. Thank you so much !" . . . The next day orders came for the beautiful nurse to go to Pretoria. Two days later came an order that Captain Speranza was to hand over his command to Captain Flint and proceed to Pretoria, also the town commandant had an order that Miss Christian Van Heerden was to be sent at once to the concentration camp at Ladysmith in Natal. And that is how the curtain fell on the career of Antonio Speranza, Captain, H.M.s Regiment.
