Britain's Naval Supremacy.

: .--»._. (From the Daly Te'egraph ) Napoleon had, perhaps, the keenest intellectual grasp of world problems ever given to man. He realised very early la his career that England was the ont enemy his ambition bad to fear, and that England, so long as she was Mistress of the Seas, was invincible. The truth which he had arrived at by abstract reasoning was branded deep into his brain by the experience of Aboukir, afterwards, in his exile in St Helena, h« need to admit thab • the Battle of tha Nile' destroyed all his dreams of bestriding three continents. It was, however, tha utter defeat of Villeneuve In Trafalgar Bay on the 21st of October 1805, whioh finally convinced him of the Impossibility either of invading England or of attacking her in India, We have never losb 'he command of tha sea since, and we never must, for, as Mr Asqultb insisted at Edinburgh recently, the day we lose that we lose all. No one can deny Mr Asqulth's assertion that then s still very ample room for improvement. We have at the head of Ihe Admiralty a young and vigorous Minister filled with a sense of his responsibilities and glowing with Imperial enthusiasm. But, as Lord Roseberry pointed out at Birmingham, if great achievements are to be accomplished the country must apply constant pressure —a pressure which will be welcomed rather than resented—on the Government. If England expects every man to do his duty, the voice of England must constantly be heard in encouragement and even, if need be, in imperative command. ■

A Beautiful Complexion

MEDICAL WRITER'S RECIPE,

Few peop'e outside the Medical Profes* eion have bub a faint idea (writes a distinguished authority) of the incalculable injury done to the skins and healths of many Australian women by the persistent use of complexion powders, pill?, pastes, and ruugts. The 4 complexions ' obtained t y ihese means differ lamentably from the rosy cheeks, ruby lips, and ap*tkling eye. of p/>i feet health. Indeed, the d.ilyuse of skin injuring cosmetics ia more cosily and troublesome than the attainment by rati n&l means of perfect health and a j c iHsnently beautiful complexion. We c^tnob d<> better than take an example v from real life. Those who know Miss Maggie Russell, of Livingstone, Oiago, c'-iDii'jt have failed to notice her clear, ropy c- mp'ex en and bright appearance, the pov.^sion of which _he thus explains :— *N» uher cosmetics nor complexion pills a^o responsible for the great improvement mmy appearance. Formerly there was no color in my cheeks, I was pale and thin -u;d quito devoid of strength—the result of ai semia and debility. My system seemed thoroughly ran down, and I was disinclined for either work or pleasure, could not sleep ab night and derived no nourishmtnb from the food taken. A doctor diagnosed my case as poverty of this blood, but only a little benefit was derived from treatment.' * And how did you get your clear complexion 1 ' was asked. Aiter being under medical advice for seme tin>p, I left Oamaru to come to Livingstone, and whilst at the latter place I decided to tryDr Williams' pink pills, having read that they were beneficial in such cas.es as mine. A few days after I began taking them I noticed an improve* menr, and after using three boxes 1 was restored to peifecb health. As my blood became enriched the color returned to my cht eks and lips, and now I am strong and robust, full of energy, have a splendid appetite, and sleep well. For promoting a permanently beautiful complexion by natural means Dr Williams' pink pills cannot be surpassed. They enrich the blood, tone up the nerves* strengthen the spine, and induce a proper circulation and perfeot health, the result of which is the beautiful complexion bo noticeable In those who have used these pills. They also cure debility, dyspepsia, ' Irver and kidney troubles, consumption of* the bowolsand lungs, nervous disorders, skin troubles, rheumatism, neuralgia, paralysis, asthma, influenz., etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and the Dr Williams' Medicine Co., Wellington, three shillings per box, six boxes sixteen and six, post free. If your health and complexion are affected, write for testl* monials and free letter of information.
