None of the Chinese in Sydney were working on the last Friday in July. Inquiries elicited the fact that it was the 2320th anniversary of the invention of carpentering and architecture by Low Bann. Throughout the Chinese Empire and amongst Chinese abroad this anniversary is always kept as a holiday. The onlv certain protection from the effects of a bad cold or harassing cough is TUSSICURA. Poisoned grain laid for rabbits has been killing the quail by thousands m the Mount Pisa district, and it is reported from Otago Central that two or three of the newly imported little owls have been found dead as the result of eating the poisoned birds. The Acclimatisation Society is inquiring as to the remedy. For Children’s Hacking Cough at night, Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. Is 6d and 2s 6d. The price of beer has gone up. In a letter to the “Evening Post,” Mr. R. Burgon, of Okaiawa, states that drink is taxed 3d per barrel and in contemplation of this, tax the brewers have risen the price 6s per barrel and the hotel-keepers have risen the price another 6s per barrel, so that between the two they are making 12s (twelve shillings) per barrel out of the 3d tax!
A GOOD WORD TO THOSE SUFFERING FROM COUGH, COLD, OR BRONCHIAL AILMENT'. When a mixture attains go wonderful ,a success in so short a time as TUSSICURA has managed to do, it is difficult to speak of the matter in a way that does not appear like exaggeration. TUSSICURA is a preparation compounded by a thoroughly practical and experienced chemist, and it is tho result of the most careful investigation. Mothers of weakly and delicate children are often puzzled by the ailments of their infants, and amongst the most common of infantile complaints is that known as Croup, so called from the peculiar rattling sound that accompanies the cougli. This sound is caused by the formation in the lining of tlie windpipe of a false membrane, which can only be removed by expectoration. As can easily be imagined, the lungs of the child are too weak to accomplish this without assistance, and many therefore die because the proper remedy is not at hand. It therefore behoves every mother to be prepared for emergencies in the case of an attack of Croup, and a few doses of TUSSICURA, of the proper quantity lias set forth on the, wrapper,. , administered at frequent intervals, will avert all danger.
