ARTISTIC WORK WITH POST-

AGE STAMPS

A very iotereatiag pastime for the winter evenings is the home manufac ture of cheap, and at the same time arfeißtic household ornaments. Plaque making is at once easy and inexpensive, and the results of a little time and patience are indeed surprising, First of allj go to a shina store and secure a a pair of large, shallow places, the sort known as ironware beef plates, than collect about 200 foreign stamps. If •my difficulty is experienced in getting » sufficient number, any stamp dealer will iappiy you with them for a few pence. Should any of the stamps have pieces of paper attached to them, soak fur a few minutea in lukewarm water. You will then be able to separate them ©aeily, aft6r which place them face down on a sheet of clean paper to dry. When they are properly dry, arrange them in little lota, the red, the greeD, the blae separately, and so on. Next with the aid of a bottle of gum and a small braab, begin to arrange them on the plate, beginning at the edge and working towaids the centre in circles. Much care mast be taken in the selection of stomps, the different colours being so arranged as to gi?e a pretty and striking effect—for instance, the red Americana go well with the pale green of the French, and so on, erery one following their individual tastes, so long as the result is pleasing. Wken the centre ia reached, a square or circle may be arranged of one colour, in which * Maltese cross can be forced by cutting stamps of a contrasting tint into the necessary shape. The circles on v&rious stamps, when cut neatly out aod arranged in chains and festoons round the cross, form a pleasing varia \ tion. When both plates are finished, give fehem a thin coating of copal var nish, and put them aside, in a place free from dust, until thoroughly dry. If you oauaofe conveniently get \he wire arrangements supplied for hanging plaques, your ironmonger will fis them fora few pence. Whea hung in a prominent position, aay on each side of an overmantel, you will be surprised at the rrally beautiful and artistic appear aece they have. For bazaars aad sales of work they are specially suitable, and always command a ready sale.

W Read whub a citizen says :— ffiMrs T Gibbon, Moore Street, this town, states:—• I have been subject to pains in the back for some time, and lately I have need Doan's Backache Kidney PlUa for this ailment. They have proved very good indeed. Sufferers from this form of complaint cannot nnderestimate the value of this medlctoe for euoh troubles. In faofc, I loat the pains soon aiter I begin co take the pills, and I had been troubled a good deal »t that time. I obtained them at the Aehburton Drug Company in East Street, Success haa brought up many imitations of Doan'a Pills, but there is nothing juat as good as the remedy which belped Mrs Gibson, therefore be sure you get thn ssma medicine.

Ohsinberlain's Pain Balm is a liniment and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities which distiguish It from other remedies of this class, Pain Balm id especially beneficial for rheuma tism. Thousands of oases can be cited in which it has effected a care when the sufferer had previously tried best medical service without aectnring relief. Pain Balm is positively guahanteko to give relief In the most severe cases of chronic or acate rheumatism.



DYSPEPSIA



IN CHRISTCHURCH.



Proofs:—Evidence on Record,



The Case of Mrs. S. FOX.



{By a Special Reporter.)



Any Britisher visiting Christohurch must be reminded of his native country by the many resemblances to English scenery which are met with on every hand. The clear waters of the Avon running through the city, with low, old fashioned bridges spanning across the river, the banks of which are studded with beautiful weeping willows, cannot but bring back memories of similar sights witnessed in the old country. After a few minutes conversation on the above subject with Mrs. Susan Fox, of Thackeray-street, Sydenham, our re porter remarked that he came to inquire about that lady's health. "You mean, I suppose, about my re oent ill-health," replied Mrs, Fox. "Yes, my health gave way completely, though what was the cause of it I could not make out for a long time. At first there was no pain at all, only a sense of weariness and fatigue. Up to this junc ture I had been strong and wiry, and did not know what a day's sickness was. Consequently, I became anxious when I found myself growing weaker and thin ner every day. My appetite was poor, and although I took care to get as much fresh air as possible, it did not make any difference in regard to promoting a desire to eat. I resolved not to give way without making a struggle, so I often forced a little food down against my inclination, and then came the pain in my stomach, which I shall never for get. Shortly afterwards a weighty feel ing in -.the chest appeared, making it hard to catch my breath. Intense out ting pains came between my shoulders, and went right down to the lower ribs. The agony was so great that I could not sleep, and after spending nights of wakefulness, I was in a chronic state of exhaustion. A feeling of listlessness was upon me the whole day, and I neglected my usual duties. I suffered very much with my head, which was full of dread ful aches. Every morning, and, in fact, ajl day long, there was a foul taste in my mouth, and a sickly bile often rose to my throat. When I took a short walk I soon felt giddy and faint. This will tell you how weak I got. For a person like myself, who had always led an active and industrious life, it was simply awful to bo in such a helpless condition. I could not even, enjoy the pleasure or reading, as my eyes were dim and felt swollen."



"You were in an unhappy plight, evidently." *> "Yes; I was exceedingly miserable. My face was the colour of death, and, in addition, I got so emaciated that if you had seen me then you would have thought it impossible for me to recover like I have. But my illness taught me that it is a mistake to give up hope whilst there is life. By a mere chance, I discovered a medicine which I am sure is a boon to mankind. I read about several people who had been cured of various complaints by Clements Tonic, and afterwards came across a case iden tical with my own. Without delay, I procured a bottle of Clements Tonic. and in a few days I experienced much relief, the most noticeable being an en tire freedom from discomfort after meals."



"Your appetite returned so quick ly r "Yes. I could soon eat as heartily as ever, besides being able to sleep when my pains lessened, which they did by degrees, and then # departed alto gether. Clements Tonic put my liver in order thoroughly, my head being re lieved from pain and my eyesight be coming clear. When my first bottle of Clements Tonic was finished, I purchas ed some more, and thus I went on til] I attained a complete restoration to health and strength. My weary, ach ing limbs were restored to their former activity, and I was thankful to be able to go about mj/ work with cheerful en ergy. My nervous system was fed with all its invigorating necessities by Cle ments Tonic, and I thus threw off the shocking nervousness which had laid hold of my weak and frail constitution. My health could not be better since Clements Tonic restored it."



"Would you mind this being pub lished ?"



"Not at all. For the sake of others you may publish these facts in any way you please."
