I 27 Kidney Stones. THE following testimony to the i merits of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills is gratefully contributed by Mrs Alfred Gosling, 6, Hillside, Stapleton, Bristol. Mrs Gosling and her husband feel that its publication is desirable in the interests of every kidney sufferer. Mrs. Gosling's Statement. On January 30th, 1917, Mrs GOI. lint said: I have escaped an operation and been relieved 01 kidney symptoms that endangered my life, and this is solely through taking Doan's Backache Kid ney Pills. 44 Although I had had skilled attention during eleven years, I went from bad to worøe-baokaobe and urinary disorders leading at last to atone in the kidneys. An operation was ordered, but in dread of it, I determined first to try Doan's Pills. 44 This well-known medicine had astonishing effect; three, then eleven, then five, and finally eight kidney Stones-27 in all-were painlessly dislodged. The other kidney symp- tome soon disappeared, and I am better to-day than ever in my life. (Signed) A. A. Gosling." On January 8th, 1918, Mrs Gosling adds: It is considerably over a twelvemonth since Doan's Pills effected my recovery, and I am pleased to say that my health is well main- tained."

OUTPUT OF 10,000 MINERS WASTED…
OUTPUT OF 10,000 MINERS WASTED YEARLY. Although coal is scarce, it is believed that many householders are !o«ing the full value of their rations by failing to sift, their citfllers thoroughly. In household- refuse atone, there is wasted aunuallv cinders equal in heating value to 2,226,000 tons of coal, representing the output of approximately M,000 miners. "Slft your ekidtrs" is, therefore, the message of the National Salvage Council, in many oW-fashioned fire-grates it is difficult to obtain full value from cinders. But we shall need to save every ounce of heating material this winter, and the advice is wfrtit heeding.

I FILUIT STONES AND NUT SHELLS. EKD OK AN EMKKQKNCY SALVAGE EFFORT. TIae Director-Ger)eral of National Salvage announces that collections Of fruit stones and natshelle lor use in the anti-gas masks may be brought to a close, ample supplies of the accessary ma-teriale being now assured from eikae sources. Collectors who have quantities of stones and shellti in hand should despatch them as soon aa possible. The Director- General wishes to thenk the very numerous helpers who, in responding to thie appeal, I b successfully tidelt over a very serious emergency. The collections have once more demon- strated the truth of the maxim that every little helps." TJw. stones and shells have been scattered all over the country in what may have seemed almost negligible quantities, but vigorous attempts to organise the collec- tion of these materials have met with success, and substantial quantities have been aest to the munitions deptt and have helped to tide ever a critical period.
