, Wakanui Election Petition. —We laam that as the Court for hearing the (.hove petition will have to be held with i a ihe Wakanui electorate, Mr Bloxham has engaged the Eakaia Town Hall for ihe purpose. The date, however, is not jet fixed. Holloway’s Ointment and Pills. — I'hough it is impossible, in this climate o changing temperature, to prevent ill-health altogether, yet its form and frequency may be nimch mitigated by the early adoption of remedial measures. When hoarseness, cough, thick breathing, and the attending slight fever indicate irritation of the throat and chest, Holloway’s Ointment should be rubbed upon these parts without delay, and his Pills taken in appropriate doses, to promote its curative action. No catarrhs or sore throats can resist these remedies. Printed directions envelope every package of Holloways medicaments, w|hich are suited to all ages and conditions ajid to every ordinary disease to which humanity is| liable.—Advt.
