THE COLONIAL SECRETARY'S FLIGHT.
TO THE EDITOR Sin -When the Colon id Secretary was pas-ing through Dime in 1 made it my business to wait upon him. 'o a-k when lie would approach any pa t of my Electoral Distdct. so that I might be there to met him. He promised to send me a telegraphic message conveying the necessary information. He neglected, or omitted ti cth so, exen-ing his neglect by saying that he had lost a day through Mi J. C. Brown having taken him to Tapanui. where, he had no work in connection with his special mission - the inspection of Hospitals. I found that ho saw neither secretary, committee, nor doctor at Clyde, and was informed that it was his de-ire to avoid all and sundry ( .f the public who might wish to int rview him. Under such circumstances, it was reu lered impossible for me to pay to ray district that attention which it required.—Yours, etc., Vincent Pyke. Dunedin, 30th December, ISS4.
TO THE EDITOR. Sm.—Permit us through the medium of your paper <o intro facet) the public our medicines (pills ami curs ive syrups). Our pills being larger than Cockles or Holloway’s, warranted perfectly free from mercury or other (lele'edous substances, are composed entirely of the choicest of herbs and grasses, seWte i with greatest of care l)n'h early and late when a goo i many cows aod horses are asleep in their beds. Our syrups need no comment, the perfume be>ng cpiite convincing. Only one small tablespoonfnl taken in a tumbler of your town race water ever morning after rising will he found a certain remedy fo--sickness of tho s’oniaeb, vomiting, ami that never failing complaint of hj iving taken too much overni.dit.
Wo have very' large stocks on hand in our stone wharchon-es. Although we enjoy a guvit number of verv comfortable rural and cnnntiy sc ts, so long as we meet with ono n agemeut, we sincerely promise you our pt.aees of hn-iness in town will increase so much, that the perfume from our manufactories wid far excel the spicy breezes that blow soft o’er Ceylon Isle. With the deepest of gratitude for tho encourages e it you have given us alongwhile past, wo wish you Sir, and the people of Clyde, the j >ys of the season and a happy new year.—We remain, Sir, Yem-s very faithfully. The whole community of Rabbits.
