district. c "'''- v— " f A writer to the Sydney Morning Herald -\ referring to the recently received cable- ] gram to the effect that the Tongariro had j made the voyage to London in eight ] minutes less time than the Ruapehu, re- ] fera to the danger of racing, and proceeds ] as follows:—I remember the master of the { ship Strathnayer, of Aberdeen, telling roe , several years ago of a narrow escape which his ship had from destruction from this cause on her voyage from Sydney to Lon don. He was running in a strong breeze dead before the wind carrying main roya*, and at iP o’clock at night he was on the point of turning in, not anticipating any danger. He felt, however, suddenly a very uncomfortable motion in the ship, i something like running into a head sea. He went on deck, and to his horror dis covered all along ahead a long lino of field ice, the backwash from which had caused the commotion of the sea. The ship was at once brought to the wind under all sail, notwithstanding the danger to the 1 masts, and for some time, lee gunwale under, they skirted the edge of the field close under their lee until providentially - a narrow opening was discovered, through * which he pushed tho ship, and she was saved. A voyage or two after this, when homeward bound again from here, the Strathnaver disappeared altogether— “ never heard of'’ being her requiepr. Now if ocean-racing is encouraged (I use r the word advisedly), can we wonder if ‘f qever heard of ” fa sopie day written •gainst the name of one of these progn>fi i Cent steamers 1 Perhaps for the skipper, g if such a loss occurs, it would be better that be, at. least, should not survive the wreck. The same discriminating and ap b preciative public who patted him on the P back when at the imminent risk of bis P ship he saved a few bours’in time, will not | 7 hesitatp to ground him dowq when he ? loses her, or to yent their yrath on tbs heads of any court of inquiry which fail 7 to deprive fumfor ever of tpe power of bread for himself and family by 7 following his profession. So muon for popularity.

Medical. Q N E WORD. Dear Friends —We have some hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only our regard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and absolute care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been in this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock’s New Liver Pill. Wo have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,080 Vials of Dr Haydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Haydock’s New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Electric Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills use 3 for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remark ible dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay dock’s New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. It the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. Carmi, 111., April 2, 1884. Dr J. Haydock : Dear Sir —I received your Pills a week ago. I have tried them and must say that 1 never had so much good done by anything as they have me. I have suffered for years with billiousness and have been so sick at times as not to * care to live, but your Pills have cured me. One aged man here has taken from me only two of your Pills, and I wish you could see him. He has had no appetite for five months, and to-day he ale a dinner such as a ploughman eats. I had to check him, but he laughed and said he was treating his stomach to a new sensation, for it really was hungry. I hand you with this four dollars. Please tend at once, as below, your Pills. Mhs Sarah Manures, Carmi, Illinois, U.S. We would fatigue you if we were to go on with them, as we very well could do, but the above must suffice. Haydocfc’s New Liver Pills are the true grains and essence of he vlth, and the greatest bless ing that Scu nee has given to the world. For Nervous Prostration, Weakness, General Lassitude, Want of Appetite and Sick Headache, Dr Haddock’s New Liver Pills will bo found an Effectual Remedy. Each vial contains Twenty Pills Price Twenty-live Cents. For sale by all Drug gists. Any fc.’ptic can have a vial of Pills Sent him Free on receipt of his name and address, for a trial. Send a poslal card for copy of pamphlet—“ The Liver and its Mystery.” It furnishes valuable information to all.

It comprehends all the recent improvements and modern prescriptions, and is written in plain lan guage, intelligible to non-professional readers, and is by no means unworthy of the attention of the bu y practitioners. I consider it a work of great usefulness, and confidently recommend it to the public. I have the honor to be yours, T. M. Phjlson, M.D., M.R.C.P., and M.R C.S., Edin., (Late Surgeon Auckland Hospital.) Auckland, Feb. 25, 1884. To the Agent. Dear Sir, —I write to inform you that I am of opinion that “ The Practical Horae Physician and Popular Guide for the Household Management of Disease ’* is the best book ever published on popular medical science, and should be of inesti mable value to people living in the country, who cannot procure the personal attendance of a medical adviser. H. W. Maunsell, M.D., M.R.C.S. Eng., (Hon. Surgeon Dunedin Hospital). Dunedin, May 10,1884. To the Publishers. Dqar Sirs, — After carefully looking through your work entitled “Practical Home Physician,” I feel very confident in recommending it to the general public as o most useful domt-stic work on medicine and surgery, and far in advance of those usually published for such purposes. This book has the advantage in that it is writ ten by men eminent in their special de partments. The symptoms as set down in each case are clear, concise and logical. The treatment is everything to bo desired and quite up to recant date. A word of praise is due for the manner in which the diseases have been classified, whilst the section on Hygiene, Therapeutical tables and botanical plates found towards the end of the book cannot but prove of the greatest service to anyone perusing the work. Yours, etc., J. D. Cipaa, M 8,, C.M., Edin. Invercargill, N.Z, March 31, 1884. E. C. BOULTER & CO., * 1241 Agent for Now Zealand,
