DON’T NEGLECT.

A COMMON CASE OF PILES. IT MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS RESULTS.

When people generally understand that all such fatal diseases as Fistula, Ulcer of the Recum, Fissure, etc., almost invariably begin in a simple case of Piles they will learn tho wisdom of taking prompt treatment for the first appearance of this trouble. Doan’s Ointment is unequalled for every form of Piles, Itching, Bleeding, Protruding and Blind Piles, and hundreds of lives have been saved by using this cheap hut effective remedy right at the start, because at such times a sl j 1 (?le pot has often effected a cure, while in tho old, deep-seated, chronic cases several pots are sometimes necessary. Here is a case:—

Mrs Chas. Shaw, 62, Ashley Street, Rangiora, near Christchurch, says:— “1 consider Doan’s Ointment the best remedy known for curing Piles, and I do not speak from hearsay, but from personal experience. For years I was tortured with this complaint, and could get nothing to relieve me until I bought Doan’s Ointment. After applying this preparation for a day or so the irritation was a good deal less, so I persevered until I was quite cured, using m all about two pots. No one knows how I suffered before I used Doan’s Ointment; the irritation was simply awful, particularly at night and during tho warm weather. It is two years since I was cured, but I always keep this remedy in the house and use it occasionally, just as a preventive against any return.” Doan’s Ointment is healing and soothing, and will not injure the most delicate skin. Then don’t delay, but get this wonderful remedy to-day if you have any form of skin trouble. Doan’s Ointment is sold by all chemists and Storekeepers at 3s per pot, pr will he nosted on receipt of nric© bv FhsterMvClellan Co., 7b, Pitt Street,. Sydnev, But, be sure you net DOAN’S. 35

paired, but if one man knows that another has received a pair of new boots, his one object is to work back the old ones on the stores and try and persuade them to give him a new pair. In fact, two men whose request to this end had been turned down, retired to the background to take counsel, and presently one returned with two lefibfoot boots remarking that a mistake had evidently been made in tlie issue. But the fraud 'failed.

Having obtained his outfit, the man is ready for work, bub nominally, unless it be camp routine duty, he i s mt called upon to do anything for two or three days, until, so to speak, he has ‘‘found his feet.” He therefore devotes himself to getting his outfit in order, repairing own clothes, etc. He soon finds that the Government has taken him thoroughly in hand, so that he has to worry about nothing. His rations are up to the standard of the soldier, and in one or two respects even Letter. He is, if he desires, allowed to prepare some of his own food in his own way, this being especially the case in regard to the bread or bread cakes which every Oriental likes. The bulk of the meals are, however, prepared by the authorities on European hues, but with Chinese cook-helpers, in the usual field kitchens. Meantime, the authorities devote themselves to sorting out the new r.rlivals. There are always a number'of men in a. Chinese camp who have knowledge of a trade. Some ar 0 able to attend to machinery, others make good cobblers, or can successfully perform many of the little specialised duties which have always to be attended to in any army. They are set aside for special work as it arrives, while the rest- day labourers—are grouped in companies in anticipation of requisitions which may come down at onv moment from any part of the British line. For this purpose local camps have to be built for these Chinese labourers very much on the lines of the depot camp. There are already nine in existence, and the number grows daily!, since, .by the end of the year, there may be well 100,000 Chinese labourers in France.

Even the rough typo of lahmurer does well. The Chinaman makes a good show in landing or loading cargo. His champions claim that he holds the record for rapid work at seaports, and for roadwork he can challenge comparison with any race. 80, when thfe requisitions arrive at the depot, the men are at once sent off, always under a British officer sneaking their language, and, in addition, overseers of their own nationality, all of wjhom know some English, and many of whom a good deal. It is by no means uncommon to find Chinese who have served, for instance, in the old Wei Hai Wei Begiments, and who have a. substantial acquaintance with military discipline. Is the work popular? You cannot go to France and come to any other conclusion. In the first nlaee, the rate df pay is good. In addition to the free, clothes, free food and free accommodation, each man receives a franc a dv> - , while an allowance of ten Mexican dollars a month is paid to his family at home.
