I Interviewed by a representative of ' the Lyttelton Times, Mr Evanß, Premier of Tasmania, said that hie visit to New Zealand had impressed him more forcibly than in any other way by the absenoe of poverty among the people.

In the Commonwealth oities there was abundance of poverty, practically flaunted in the eyes of the people; bat in New Zealand he had not even seen a ohild without boots who appeared to be going without because footcovering was a luxury rather than a necessity.

Warneminde, North Pines, (Q), "my little boy, then about five weeks old, had a severe attack of diarrhoea, and though I was giving him the medicine prescribed he did not seem to get any better. I had seen in the papers that Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy had cured cases similar to his, so I thought I would give it a trial. To my great relief he showed improvement after the first dose and it only took a couple of doses to com- • pletely cure my infant. lam a mother of twelve children, and. after my experience I can,safely recommend it."
