DANGEROUS GOODS

Tc woald seem that there la a lurking danger iir teepee?; to certain clasaea of boo^s packed ia xasea, which waanot until lately djsatned of. A week or two ago we ( :( New Zealand Herald ") notioed the out break of a fire m the premises of Messrs Ughtband, Allan, and Co., boot manu facturers, Chrißteliurch, caused, It waa Biippoesd, through epontaneous combus tion. One of the boots which a Bupposed to have been the cause of tLe i fire ia now on exhibition at th« New Zea ] larjd Insurauco Gcmjdaij'a ofSoe, Q ' -on | Btreet. Thess Loots were hitherio re garded aa q -ite 3afe allied* to deal with. They are the cls33 unusually known as men's rubbet-liued hip boots, sometimes called " gum boots." The above firm qoito recently had pot m b ; x een caaea of these boots ; each csbb containing twelve pairs of boots, The consignment was stored m the compapy'a brick cellar. After the caßeß : had been on the prtmieea for some time, one night two of '.he employes who were work iDg m the rffice became sensible of^ a pfcnii3rly < ffansive emell, and, on looking d wn a hoie m the floor used for tha tiR-oM- > mpe from tha cellar, they noticed t a il tr.ei were rising from two of the ciße« t ihroatening the joists of the floor. '1 h»j tir^ was ptomptly extinguished, and on ?n examination beiDg made it was found that 24 pairs of boots were more or le-a damaged. The cases buried were m ■ m iho centre of the consignment, hence the icea of spontaneous combustion. An examination showed that the fire had begun m the inßide of tha case, and it j has been recollected that m a previous consignment of similar goods many of the boots were found to be blistered, which waa then Dlamed to had stowage. It would appear now that the blieters arose from the haating of the material of which the boots were made, and that the goods were opened none too coon. It ia evidently necessary that drapers should be very careful m regard to the Btowoge of large quantities of ladles' rubber waterproofs, which are made of smiliar materials as thoße of which the combustible bo^ts were made.

A NEW STEAMER FOR THE UNION COMPANY

We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on Boleutino formula and abaolnte care and prooislon In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity fer m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been m this, is only to vote the extraordinary amount of the calofl of onr Haydock c Now Liver PilL We have the pleasure to state that we have cold 28,089 Vlala of Dr Haydook'a New Liver PUle. The reason of this de. macd is because we find In Baydook 1 New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine., The Viotories of Science — Elcotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseased and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- oovery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. ThoDootors, whose vast doßea of four or five pills enfeeble the otomaoh and paralyie the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with 0&4 of two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffieeß to plaoe the stomach m perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the eplrlt light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is invigorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Prov'* cc of Burmah, 8.1.
