TO THE public.

Allow me to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I had a very severe cough and cold and feared I would get pneumonia, but after taking the second dose of this medicine I felt better, three bottles of it cured my cold, and the pains in my chest disappeared entirely. I am most respectfully yours for health, Ralph S. Meyers, 64-Thirty-seventh St., Wheeling, W. Va., U.S.A. For sale by A. Manoy, Motueka. Illustrative of the effects of the encouragement of outdeer sports among school children (says the Post), the headmaster of the Willis-street school told the householders’ meeting that there had been a bad bay in the school in past days with whom they could do nothing. Eventually, he was put into the cricket team, and they had had no trouble with him since. Our military headquarters staff, says Mr Hornsby, are useless and not very ornamental, but put through a quartzcrushing machine they might yield about four ounces to the ton from their gold adornments. Considerable stir has been created through the charges of pro-Boerism levelled against Mr J. G. Woolley, editor of the Yoice, through the instrumentality of the Lyttelton Times. At the monthly meeting of the Wesleyan ministers of Dunedin and district, the subject of Mr John G. Woolley and his recently reported pro-Boer leanings and doings gave rise to some warm discussion. The generally-expressed opinion of the meeting was that if these things were correct, to employ Mr Woolley in the fight for the temperance cause would be equivalent to permitting the interference of a hostile foreigner in the domestic affairs of the country. The could not, of course, expect a citizen of the United States to be as loyal as they were, but they considered he had misrepresented colonial sentiments; and had shown animus against the nation. It was therefore resolved that if the statement recently published was found to be true they would protest agains Mr Woolley taking any part in the temperance campaign.
