Great Britain's treaty rights rendered the operation of spheres of in- fluonoe in China impossible. Every British Government might be relied upon' to (Waist upon these rights. This remark elicited loud theme. Prom the foregoing it appears to be Great Britain's intention not only to keep the existng treaty porta open, as the speech or Sir Michael IIicks-Beach, has been widely interpreted to mean. but to insist upon having whatever rights anybody else obtains in the fu- ture in every Chinese port. Some of the morning newspapers, in their editorial oomments on the speech, shy at "compensatory advantages," The Standard a. Tory organ, suggests that it wonuid be more accurate to say consequential guarantees. Mr. Curzon, referring to the negotia- tions for a loan, said:-" We have every reason and right t0 hope that they will be successful." BRITAIN WILL DEFEND CHINA.

When the supply of nerve foroe has boon diminished either by excessive physical or mental labours, or owing to a derangement of the nerve centres, we are first conscious of a languor or tired sad worn-out feeling, then of a mild form of nervousness, headache, or stomach trouble, which is perhaps suc- ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic indigestion, and dyspepsia, and agen- eral sinking of the whole system. In this day of hurry, fret and worry, there are very few who enjoy perfect health; nearly everyone has some trouble, an %oho, or pain, a weakness, a nerve trouble, something wrong, with the stomach and bowels, poor blood, heart disease, or sick headache; all of which are brought on by a laok of nervous energy to enable the different organs of the body to perform their respective work. South Amerioan Nervine Tonin, the marvellous nerve food and heel til giver, is asatisfying success, awondrous boon to tired, sink, and overworked men and women, who have suffered years ofdisoouragemont and tried all manner of relnediea without benefit. It is a modern, a scientific remedy, and in its '.-also follows abounding health.
