Dodd's Kidney Pills Finding Their
Way Into Every Civilized
Country.
While Canadians are struggling to
, get a firmer foothold in the British
markets, there is one Canadian pro-
duct that has got away ahead of the
agitation and now measures its mar-
ket from the Baltic -washed shores of
the Denmark to where the sun glints
off the pyramids in the land of the
Pharoahs. That purely Canadian
product is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
• Among the letters that come • in
v"ave daily mail of The Dodd's Medi-
cine Co., Limited, there are those
marked ‘with the stamps of almost
every country in the world. A couple
that came in together the other
morning shows how the fame of the
great Canadian Kidney Remedy has
spread. One is from Denmark and
the other was penned by a true son
of the Prophet in the office of the
Minister of Finance, Cairo, Egypt.
It is noticeable that in the case
of the Egyptian Dodd's Kidney Pills
were perscribed by his doctor. In
this respect the doctors of the anci-
ent home of civilization are reading
a lesson in frankness to many of
Itheir brethren of the Anglo-Saxon
race. The latter would probably
have prescribed Dodd's Kidney Pills
, but used another. nam,e.
,But however that may be, the fact
remains that wherever men are
• found there is Kidney Disease; and
that no matter how or where Kid-
ney Disease is found there is a de-
mand for Dodd's Kidney Pills—the
. one remedy that has never failed to
cure it.
The letters referred to are as fol-
lows: They are naturally interest-
ing reading for Canadians.

HUNDREDS KILL THEMSELVES.
Moreover, in the graphic accounts
published by the London Times and
ether- newspapers,. of the shaking of
the Japanese transport Kinshu Meru
on April 25 off the Careen coast by
the Vlaelivoetoek squadron, it is. re-
lated how the troops On board, sev-
eral hundred in number, baying 're-
fused tosurrender, and resisted with
rifle fire an attempt to hoard the
ship, committed suicide while, the
vessel was Doing torpedoed. The of-
ficers and a number of the mori who
belonged to the Sanuirai class' de-
stroyed themselves by means of
hara-kiri, that is, by cuttiag their
stomachs open with their swords or
knives, while the others, presumably
of a lower order in the social scale,
either blew out their brains. *ith
thcia rifles or shot one another.
This took place on deck in full
;dew of the Russian fleet, and it was
not until a third torpedo had been
fired that the sinking of the Kinshu
Marc put an end to the extraordin-
ary scene,
Several of the soldiers Who had
been plunged into the sea by the
foundering of the vessel before having
had time to kill themselves were
dragged ou board .a boat on which
the English officers' of the transport
had sought refuge, and as ' at-
tempt was made by the Russians to
molest them they reached land in
eafety. As * soon as possible they
notified the' military authorities at
Gensam of the fate of the transport,
and asked permission, now that they
had accomplished the duty imposed
upon them of supplying information,.
to follow the example: of their com-
• rades and to destroy themselves, de-
claring that all the troops on board
when they found their ship surround-
ed by the Russian fleetlaed taken a
solemu pledge to kill themselves.'
MOMENT THRILLS JAPAN.
The story Of the death of the
troops' and of their officers in board
the Kinshu Maru sent a thril of ad-
miratioii throughout the entire Jap-
anese nation, served to give a time-
ly inspiration. to the army in the
field, and was construed as a silent
but eloquent assurance that Japan
could trust her honor to the -keeping
of • her soldiers. It was felt that
they ha,d rendered a service to their
country -by the national spirit shown
in the manner of their death—that
death by hara-kiri, which the prin-
ces, great nobles', and Samurai of
Japan have for 800 years and more
preferred to dishonor.
Some years ago a project was
brought forward. in the Legislature
at Tokio advocating the abolition of
the practice of hara-kiri, or seppulleu,
as it is more comarricinly called in
Japan. During the debate which
followed it was described as "the
shrine of the national spirit and the
embodiment in practice of devotion
to principle," as "a ,pillar of the
constitution," as "a pillar of relig-
ion and a spur to virtue," and as
"one of our 1nost valuable and time
honored institutions," and the mo-
tion was defeated by the overwhelm-
ing vote of 205 to .3, the proposer,
one Ono Seigoro, being murdered
not long afterwards.
No one knows exactly whei the
practice of hara-kiri originated. For
the oldest annals in existence con-
tain reference to it as a national
custom. But it was in the twelfth
century of our era that it was first
instituted as a jacticial means of
ending the lives of those nobles and
Samurai who were regarded as mer-
iting death, but not dishondr. Rules
of procedure procedure were devised,
the etiquette in connection with the
affair being as elaborate and as
strict as in the case of duels in Eu-
rope. Whereas, however, in the case
of a judicial hara-kiri, the execution-
er appeared from behind a screen,
and with one- sweep of his long
sword cut off the head of the • prin-
cipal it the moment when the lat-
ter., while squatting on the floor,
having drawn the Amalley of his two
swords across his bared stomach
from the extreme left to .riglit below
the • waist line; ,was in the act of
sinking faceforward on ,the .ground.
FORM OF EXECUTION.
The last of these judicial suicides,
so far as foreigners are aware, took
place a little over thirty years ago,
when a Samurai of the name of Zen -
zebus.° atoned ii tbis manner, by
order of the mikado, for an •armed
, attack upon members of the British
legation: The ceremony took place
in the presence of Sir Ernest Satow,
now English envoy at Pekin, and
of Lord Reedsdale, to whom Zenza-
buro's head was presented for in-
spection, by his karshku," or best
friend, web had decapitated hina at
the moment when he had completed
his disemboweling process.
• Willie the judicial hara-kiri is un-
derstood to have ceased, the unoffi-
cial seppulcu remains, as is apparent
from the scenes on board the trans-
port Kinshu-Varu the other day, a
national custom of the people, .and
continues to be practised, Indeed,
according to one of those unwritten
Jaws which are so much more binding
than the ones that figure in the ju-
dicial code, a man of the Samurai
class who is not prepared to die by
his own hand rather than suffer dis-
grace is subjected to the same sort
�f ostracism as the confidential Euro-
pean Vito declines a challenge and
is barred 'from the adceptance of a
commission in the army,

A JAPANESE HERO.
--- •
Deeds of Courage Performed by
Takeo Hirose. •
• All Japan has been ringing with
the fame of Takeo Hirose, the first
naval hero of the Japanese -Russian
War, who was killed in Admiral To-
go's second attempt to block up Port
Arthur. Hirose was leader of the
volunteers who set out to sink their
ships and, if necessary, themselves, in
the mooth of the harbor, He was
killed by a projectile from a Rus-
sian quick -firing gun while seeking
to save the life of his friend and
subordinate, Petty -Officer Sugine.
The New York World tells of other
deeds of courage performed by Hi -
rose. •
Ho first proved his bravery in the
war with China. • After that war
Lieutenant Hirose. who spoke Rus-
sian and French well, was sent as
naval attache to the Japanese le-
gation at St. Petersburg. He came
into prominence there through an
incident which occurred at a ban-
quet. A Russian officer declared that
the Japanese, so small of statina,
could not, as individuals, hold their
own in any war. Hirose 'smilingly
defied any three Russians to over-
come him at wrestling. • Roars of
laughter greeted the challenge, for
In those days Japanese Jite-jitsu
was not described in every news-
paper -
At last, for the fun of it, the Rus-
sian officer sent for three large and
sturdy soldiers. The little Japanese
threw the Russians, one after an-
other.
