PARTINGS AND MEETINGS
TO THE EDITOR OF THE PRESS. Sir, —Is it an unusual thing for brothers not to meet for half a lifetime? When I was five years of age, an old relative came to Queencliffe, and begged me from my parents, bringing me to New Zealand. Twelve months after, a boy was bom, my brother. That’s fifty years ago, and I’ve never seen him.—Yours, etc., C.L. September 8. 1938.
POINTS FROM OTHER LETTERS
Flora A. Smith, who has heard that “rainwater caught in a metal receptacle has a decaying effect on the electric battery of a motor-car,” wishes to know of any experiments carried out to determine the effect of water from such receptacle on the human body, which is “also an electric battery,’* The possibility occurs to her that “some diseases could be traced to the material in which water is held for human consumption.’*
