The inordinate nse of lysol by a patient receiving treatment at the Otaki santorium was what most surprised the District Hospital Board at its meeting yesterday. The case in point is that of a patient who could not be accommodated inside the institution, but whose account for medicines obtained outside was honoured by the board as an act of charity. The matron inspected the bill, which amounted to £8 Bs, and remarked, “There lias been more lysol purchased in five mouths than we at the sanatorium use in two years.” Some patent medicines were also purchased, which Dr Huthwaite, of the sanitorium, thought were unnecessary. Eventually the bill was cut down to £ll7s, to which the patient assented. REPAIR THE WASTE. During our whole lives the fluids and solid tissues of our systems are constantly undergoing change. Now materials in the form of infinitely minute particles of muscle, nerve, and so forth, are being produced while the old worn out atoms of these structures are removed with ceaseless activity. While this incessant movement of these constituents of our bodies is not perceptible to the eye, even when aided by the most powerful microscopes, it nevertheless goes on, and must go on as long as life continues. How essential it is therefore that the right kind of food should be taken regularly to repair the waste, and that the food should be 'digested. It is not the quantity of food taken, but tii© quantity digested _ that builds up the system. To obtain the utmost value from the food as a body , builder, 8 to 10 drops of IMPEY’S MAY APPLE should be taken after each meal. This is the secret of long and perfect health.
