The arrangement of having motor traffic driving hack from Solway to town via Pownall Street, woiked very well lor a time yesterday.

Mr William Perry, of Masterton, is about to despatch one of . his stud Lincoln ranif to Mr William Riddell, j-un., of Willamette Valley, Oregon, United States. Two or three years ago Mr Perry sent a ram to Mr Riddell, and it is satisfactory to _ find that the buver was so pleased with his purchase that he is repeating the order.

i A Southern doctor has issued a note of warning, which is well worth , considering. Referring to the numerous cases of go-called ptomaine poii soning, the medical man in question . said that it was not improbable that some of these cases were ascribable to the eating of unpeeled apples, etc., which had been sprayed with arsenate of lead. It would, he said, be a wise precaution, for children (and adults too), to be careful in all cases to peel such fruit before eating it, and thus avoid the danger of very unpleasant effects, as arsenate of lead is a very strong poison.

IF YOU HAVE A Cough, Cold, Nose, Throat, or Lung Trouble, Stomach, Bowel, or Liver Complaint, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, use SANDER'S EUCALPYTI EXTRACT; 5 drops in a tabled spoon of waZter. Remember, you cannot expect the good effects from any sort of eucalpytus. Sander's Extract cures because it contains ethereal and antiseptic substances not contained in other eucalyptus proructs. _ These latter, made by persons, ignorant of chemistry, and provided with fancy names and labels by trading concerns who do not know what they contain, have caused grevious harm, and a death has resulted from their use. Do not apply an ointment to a sore. It keeps back the secretion. To wounds, bruises, sprains, burns ulcers, eczema, and other skin troubles, apply Sander's Extract; 15 drops in a tablespoonful of olive oil. The effect will surprise you. _ Sander's Extract heals because it is freed from the irritating constituents contained in other eucalyptus preparations. It [heals when others irritate. Insist upoil the Genuine Sanders.
