Those wlio know tho ‘ ‘helter-skelt-er” at various resorts might -liavo thought it a simple thing. A “squat and slide” is its popular name. But recently it- had to bo described in affidavit, language in the iN.S.W. Equity Court, and this is whiart it appears as:—“Tho said helter-skelter of the plaintiff co. is an amusement structure, from which visitors descend by sliding down, usually on a mat, by gravitation, an inclined curved trough, leading from the top of tho said structure partly round and partly away from tho same.” The owners claimed that the “Alpine slide” of a rival showman was really the same thing, viz;., “an amusement structure” etc. The Court agreed that for tho present tlio helter-skelter is an Alpine slide, and an Alpine slide a helterskelter, and granted interim injunction. But how will turn out in the long run Zeus alone knows. Bit. SHEBBON’S , OTG.ESTIVE TABULES. After each meal, give the stomach perfect rest, because they contain all the natural digestants as found in a healthy stomach. This is a common-sense method of treating all stomach troubles, and tho results are certain. Mr, F. Woodward, 205 Itoss-street, Port Melbourne, Victoria, in a letter to the Sheldon Drug Company, writes as follows: “The Dr. Sheldon Digestive Tabules purchased from you some time ago have given universal satisfaction among my trade. My wife has suffered from aoute attacks of dyspepsia and indigestion, but since taking your Tabules has experienced great relief. She suffered so badly at times that she could not eat a piece of bread and butter as big as her three fingers; hut now, after using Dr. Sheldon’s Digestive Tabules, her appetite has returned, and she can cut as well as ever, and her meals are a source of pleasure to her. Personally, I always carry some of your Tabules with me, and find they are of great benefit to me. Have recommended them to my neighbors, whose testimony fully accords with our own. Am convinced they are a preparation of great merit for dyspepsia and indigestion.” Obtainable from A. W. J. MANN, Agent, Chemist.
