"Tho Tohijnga Suppression Act .of last sossioii lias had good effect. While, however, it prohibits tho Maori charlatan from practising upon the incredulity of his; own kind, it does not prevent the pakeha from engaging in tho same kind of business. Hence tho existence of white tohungas in our midst. These necromancers go from pa to' pa armed - with familiar spirits, hoodwinking superstitious Maoris. Their harvests are fioldcn. Poor Maori!

For Bronchial Coughs take Wood's Great Peppermint Cure. Is. 6d. and 2s. 6d. CS
