At the inquest on the child Stirling the evidence of the mother was tbat she gave ‘ the child to her six-year-old daughter to nurse while she went out and tidied np the shed in the back yard. On her return after an absence of ten,minutes she found the baby’s clothes on fire, and nearly all burnt. She dressed the child’s burns, but medical advice was not obtained. The jury returned irf-open verdict, and acting on their recommendation, the Coroner cautioned the mother for her inhumane and unmotherly conduct, informing her that bad there been much more evidence there would probably have been a verdict of inanelaughter against her.

T’ie following is a story of old Maori life ;—Returning once from Waimate to Kaitaia, when we got as far as Maunga- Tauiwhs—the great peak that towers over our western chain of hills—and encamped for the right, the natives put up a long shed of nikau for their own accommoda tion, and E had my tent. Later on in the evening I joined them at the fire. I found one of their number was suffering from colic, for which he was undergoing Maori treatment. They had laid him at the foot of a tree, which slanted upward, his legs on each aide of the trunk, some what in the form of the letter Y, or resembling a man’s first attempt at standing on his head. The middle of his stomach for a centre, and a radius of four inches round, they had described with a piece of charcoal The circle was supposed to enclose within it the seat of the malady, v.ith its surround iug influence; and within this magic circle the sympathising operators plied their truly unsparing eflorts, each one dealing a masterly blov> - ; followed by a lusty roar from the patient. But the colic appeared to be peculiarly obstinate, and, like a strong man armed, refused to capitulate, notwithstanding the re doubled efforts on the part of the medicals, who merited a better success for their unremitting zeal and perseverance in applying the remedy. It soon appeared that counter irritation was no match for violent colic. My skill was thereupon called to the rescue. My design was quickly formed to oust the enemy from within his fleehy battlements by administering a.good dose of rhubarb, which soon put the man to rights.

THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1881.



The Bad and Worthless are never, imitated or counterfeited. This is es pecially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated is of the highest value. As s6on as it has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop '■ Bitten was the purest, best, and most valuable fiunily medicine on earth, many imitations - sprang up and began to steal the notices in which the press'and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stun-instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B Many others slatted-nostrums put up in simi lar style to H. 8., with variously devised names in which the word “ Hop ” or ‘‘Hops ” were used in a way to induce people to believe - they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or_ cures, no matter what y . their style or name is, and especially those - % with the word ** Hop ”or •* Hops ” in their ■J. name or in any way connected with them or fiawfg,' are imitations or counterfeits. Bc ' ware of them. Touch none of them. Use .fS. ugHiing but genuine American Hop Bitters, abunch or cluster of green Hops on the wt ’je lithe], .and Dr boules name blown in V& : fir‘glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and are wanted against dealing in imta- or counterfeit' 1

W. Bickerton, Colonial Af llyst, re ports : The pickles having been ex amined, were found to be well preserved, of good color, and perfectly free from adulteration. These pickles have been in use in my own household for some time past, and I consider them to be superior to those imported.

My inducement to re-enter Parliament is the hope to be use ful. New Zealand should be now enjoy ing exceptional prosperity ; causes which, I think, are removoable produce’ the de pression which is driving away capital, paralysing enterprise, and reducing the power to employ labor and encourage in dustry. I hope to be able to aid in re moving the causes, as also to assist in con solidating a strong party. At present public men appear to be separated, not so much by practical as by theoretical ques tions. The aspiration to be of service alone tempts me in my present impaired state of health (the result of a slow re covery from a severe illness), to accept the responsibilities you offer me. j On ac count of my invalid condition, I must ask you to excuse my addressing more than one meeting. Pray believe |that I am not insensible to the importance of all parts of the district and to the claims of the electors where ever-they reside. lam simply unfit for the exertion now, though after the session I hope to be able to do much more.
