THE LADY OF LYONS.

When" you settle down to read an article upon the most heroic incident of war. or an extraordinary occurrence at Timbuetoo, and find after a couple of lines lot. introduction you have been entrapped into a description of somebody's liver liniment, cough bandages, cork kidneys or horse blisters 'for that tired feeling,' no wonder you throw down the paper in disgust, but the fact remains, the enterprising advertiser gets there just the same. This particular paragraph is not an advertisement so you can read on in perfect safety. It does not contain a single word about wonderful cures, or the Greymouth Garrick Club, with their stereotyped announcement that on "Wednesday evening doors open at 7.30, performance at 8 sharp, admission 2s and Is. If the management wished to sugarcoat this announcement it would be probably be worded "Lady of Lyons Liver Liveners," "a sovereign cure for all complaints. Large doses 2s, small Is. Each dose is worth a guinea, and ' one will last a life time. Printed pamphlets, containing full information can be seen in all respectable shop windows, or may be had gratis,, inside the Opera House on Wednesday night.." There is only one way to avoid the continual annoyance of these tricky advertisements. Look closely through the news columns for suspicions looking When found read them carefully so as to retain them in the memory, and when next they meet the eye, you can pass them with the superior, se'f satisfied smile of a man, who knows that ho is tx> cute to be had.
