Spread of Consumption By Perspiration. Lecturing recently at the Academy of Medi. cine, Paris, Dr. Poncet stated that he and M. lliery, of Lyons, had found virulent tubercl? bacilli in the perspiration of over 30 per cent, of the patients they had examined who were suffering from tuberculosis lesions of a surgical type. These, consisting as they did of cases of rheumatism and peritonitis, were either inactive or feebly active. In those cases where the disease was strong active bacilli were almost always present. In fact, the violent sweats of the consumptive may be regarded as one of Nature's means of getting rid of the poisonous microbes. The doctor insisted that it was necessary to disinfect all clothing and other objects that had been contaminated by the sweat of the tuberculous, and that separate beds should always be reserved for them. 1 Recently Mr. F. H. Molesworth, F.C.S., F.G.S., of Sydney, had a pound of dust swept up from a wharf, and found it to contain the bacillus of tuberculosis. Having immersed this in a 10 per cent, solution of Lifebuoy Soap for 15 minutes, the tubercle bacilli (which were fairly numerous) were all destroyed. Household dust he treated in the same manner, with the same practical results, clearly demonstrating the strong germicidal powers of Lifebuoy Soap. It is a very simple matter to destroy disease germs in the weekly wash, and there is no surer way of doing this than by using Lifebuoy Soap in the laundry, as well as for general household work. Lifebuoy Soap will not hurt the skin : in fact, it is very largely used as a bath soap, readily washing off perspiration, and at the same time destroying any disease germs that may be in the perspiration.

IT A QUALIFIED CHEMIST, Everybody knows that a good cough and cold remedy consists of two main sections. The first section is the undiluted medicinal ingredients, or "essence," and the second is, of course, the'neccssary water and sweetening. r The preparation of the medicinal ingredients requires trained knowledge, but the water and sweetening can he added in the kitchen just as easily as in a factory. And you save a lot of money by doing so. , When you buy the two sections ready mixed you pay I/6 for quite a small bottle—holding about• two and a half ounces. For family purposes this small bottle lasts almost no time. A few doses and the bottle is empty. But, when you buy the first section—the "essence"—by itself, and add the water and sweetening at home, you get twenty ounces —a pint—for the same money. You actually get about eight bottles for the price of one. That is worth thinking about, isn't it) Now, prove these facts by trying this Hean's Essence recipe. Into a jug put four tablespoonfuls of sugar, three of treacle, two of vinegar, and a large breakfast-cupful of warm water. Stir till dissolved, pour into a. big bottle, add one bottle of Hean's Essence, and shake all together. There is no trouble, bother, or fuss of any kind. A , few drops to a child,, or a spoonful to an adult, gives prompt and wonderful relief. It is pleasant. to take, lasts a' long time, and never spoils. It eases tickling coughs, soothes sore throats, and removes sticky phlegm in a way that surprises folks. It is a handy and genuine remedy for hoarseness, croup, bronchitis, asthma and the usual throat and lung troubles. Hean's Essence is 1/6 a bottle at most chemists and grocers. If yours does not' yet stock it, he can easily obtain from his wholesaler for you, or post free on receipt of price from Hean, Chemist, Wanganui. 1 , Wherever you buy be sure you get Hem's. **> 6A IS IT WORTH IT?.
