Sheldon Drug Co., 15 O'Connell street, Sydney, N.S.VV. Dear Sirs, — Last week I look home ;i bottle of Dr Sheldon’s ■ New Discovery for Coughs, Colds, and Consumption. I obtained this for my two boys aged seven and four years. The elder lad had a nasty, tr.ublesome cough and cold : the other a bad cold ana a cough just beginning to trouble him. They cadi tool; your cough remedy, which, by the way, they liked immensely, and in two days the cough and cold of ihe younger boy had entirely disappeared, having been cut short in good time, and at the end of the third

day the elder boy was absolutely cured. Being a chemist for seventeen years, 1 am naturally somewhat antagonistic to proprietary and patent medicines, but in this instance I must recognise and acknowledge the efficiency and merit of your excellent preparation and give credit where credit is due. I was greatly pleased with the marvellous and striking curative and soothing properties of your admirable remedy, which I will add, from a pharmaceutical standpoint, is splendidly com» pounded.— Yours faithfully, CHARLES A. PINCH, Ph. C., M.P.S., etc. Kuranda, Boyce street, Glebo Point, Sydney, N.S.W. For sale by A. W. J. Mann, Agent, Chemist.

Mr 0 M. Gray wa3 in a slightly reminiscent mood whon he repliod to the complimentary romarks made by Sir John Hall at the presentation on Friday evening (says the Lyttelton Times). He said that the Mayor of Christchurch was often called upon to do most extraordinary things. On one occasion, in an early term of his office as Mayor, an old lady went to him and said iliat she had lost a pretty whito poodle dog, and insisted that ho, as Mayor, should go out and find it. Ho pointed out to her that the police station was the proper placo at which to mako enquiries, but she replied that the police wore an unfeeling and hardhearted lot of mCD, who gave her no sympathy whatever. She therefore felt that sho had a right to go to tho Mayor of tho city and ask him to find her little dog. Anothor illustration of tho view that some people take of the duties of Mayor is afforded by another story told by Mr Gray. On this occasion. however, instead of being a-ked to attend to humorously trivial realtors, ho was mado tho recipient of a great idea A man approached him ono day in Cathedral Square, with a deadly earnest manner, and said that he had ail idea, which ho wanted Mr Gray to bring under tho notice of the City Council. It was an idea, he said, that would help to boautify the city and promote tho comfoit of the citizen s, and if Mr Gray would carry it out ho would immoitalise himself. This seems to have excited Mr Gray’s curiosity, and lie asked his informant to tell him wbat the big idea was. He was then made acquainted with a scheme for completely roofing in Cathedral squaro in order to keep out the wet and protect tho cabmen and other peoplo w T ho spend much timo in that part of the city. Speaking at a special moating cf tho Camaru Borough Council in regard to tho proposal to add a second storey to the New Town Hall, Mr Hose stated that Oaraaru, besides having to pay away over a year in iuterest on its loans', is rated some 30s per year for every man, vomnD, and child in tho place. Mr Hose gavo it as his opinion that tnere is not another corporation in the world which bears so heavy a burden.
