Mr. It. Spargo, c/o H. ‘Wightman, P. 0., Leongatha, Vic., writes: —“I regard Dr. Sheldon’s New Discovery as a Cough Cure to be a remedy that one should not be without. A friend of mine out back, not very long ago, Avas bad with a cold that lie could not get’ rid of, and Avhen I told him to try Dr. Sheldon’s New Discm r ery for coughs and colds, he laughed at the idea, saying: ‘You don’t catch me using any of these patent medicines. I don’t believe in them.’ But after a. bit of persiiasion lie did try Dr. Sheldon’s New Discovery. In a few days he was aa’cll again, and is very grateful to it.” Dr. Sheldon’s New DiscoA-ery for Coughs and Colds is an unequalled prepa ration for the cure of all Chest Complaints and Lung Troubles. Price, Is 6d and 3s per .bottle. Obtainable everywhere.

Mr. Jamcs Stirton (according to the “Duller Miner”) claims to have discovered the secret of -Maskelync and Dev ant’s world-famous illusion entitled “Will, the Witch, and the Watchman,” which claim, if proven, entitles Mr. Stirton to “a reward of £SOO offered by the company. Mr. Stirton has given several private performances to the complete satisfaction of those present. A syndicate has been formed for the purpose of exploiting the discovery. In connection with an outbreak of disease among children attending a school in tli e Wairarapa, a letter was read at a meeting of the Wellington Education Board from Dr. # Frengley, District Health Officer, who reported that the disease which had appeared was impetigo contagiosa. “While it may be noted that a generic and sufficiently explanatory word for the causation of this somewat startling titled disease is simply d-i-r-t,” continued the communication, “yet it must be remembered that the cleanest children of the most careful parents may contract the disease. The remedy is very simple. It may be summed up thus: Soap, water, and a scrubbing brush, and the application to the sores themselves of somo antiseptic ointment.”
