Dr. T. H. A. Vaimtiue (DirectorGeneral of Health.) said that the .Maoris had a special medical ser- \ ire I.lm|. cost CD year. He tca.s pleased that, years ago, he had initialed district nursing among the Maoris. The nurses were hardworking loyal and efficient. It was largely^due In tlm energy ol the nurses 'that the Maori population had increase.l during the speakm-’.'-tonn from 1b.(.0f) to more than <40.(}(VJ.

Tt cured me very quickly whilst other remedies had failed to give me relief. My back ached a lot and hampered all my movements ; in fact, I was often 60. .bad that T. could hardly get about at all. If I stooped it was as much jssl could do to stand up straight again. My rest at night was disturbed, and A always felt' tired, having no. energy for anything. Doan’s Backae|ie Kidney Fills,' ‘ however, morked 1 , wonders, five bottles' • banishing;, rpy health' troubles completely, i nhvor suffer with backache now, and Dij- general health is splendid.” Twelve ypars later. Mrs Buchanan says : PI am still well and have been sin’os ; Doan ? s Backache Kidney Pills curhd me over twelve years ago. 'Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are < *j«nld bv all chemists and storekeepers.
