Box 716, Wellington.” This week a humorous verse won. Here it is:— * “ A score of times,” the Old Salt said, “ Around Cape Horn I’ve rolled; But I’ve no cause to dread it now, As in the days of old ; For I’ve lately struck a marvel, And at Zero loudly scoff— It’s the Universal Cold Cure, Which keeps away the cough.” One guinea has been posted to Mr B.B*, Aorangi Terrace, Tinakori Road, ■Wellington.
He went to the butcher; also the baker; He went to the grocer and cabinetmaker ; He even inquired of the undertaker, And asked the distiller and brewer, And all of them said That for colds in the head, And the best for the chest as proven by test Was Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. 4
