Six months of tha period I had positively lost the use ot my legs, and for two years I have been unable to walk without crutches ©r sticks. I have had forty-ejghfc electric baths and spent thre weeks at the springs at Drysdale. About three weeks ago I was induced to use you Solomon Solution, and am now enabled to walk without any assistance whatever, write this trusting that it may be the means of inducing other sufferers to give it a tria I am, sincerely yours, GEORGE A. PATTERSON, ±-RESS REPORTS. Melbourne "Sportsman," June 14, 1892 "Mr Frank O'Donnell, the well-known breeder of Gooroe, Victoria, has a mare b; Kohinoor from Lady Hercules, by Hercules from Princess Royal, who some time ago go one of her hind legs entangles in a wire fence, and smashed her shin bone very badly. T use Mr O'Donnell's own words :—' I thought she was past all surgical aid, so bad was th smash. However, having some of the Solomon Solution by me, I tried what it would dc Some little time after using that well-known remedy, a piece of bone about four inche long stuck out of the wound, which has since completely healed. The mare's leg is noi as sound as ever it was ' The piece of bone referred to was measured in our presence, an is three-eighths of an inch broad in its narrowest part and one inch and a half in it broadest, and is exactly four inches in length. A more marvellous case in which a cur was effected has not come under our notice." Adelaide " Express," April 10, 1893. "In connection with last Saturday's racing on the Old Course, Mr C. N. Kidman, th owner of Lovelocks, attributed the mare's victory in the Steeplechase to the use o Solomon Solution, with which he treated her legs. He also says that by the aid of thii valuable remedy he brought round Ellersfcone, who scored a recent victory at Port Pirie J and he speaks in the highest terms of this restorative, which it will be remembered wa: [ tried by Mr Wallace on the champion Carbine, who, however, was suffering from i ; damaged foot, tor which there was no cure when he retired from the racing arena. Th< Arab, also, who has exhibited such very marked improvement of lute, was saved foi racing purposes by the use of this Soution, and his leg 3 wera so bi,d that the sfcen eh was overpowering, and in this case the cure appears to have been a remarkable one.

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christchurch, N,Z.,Dec. 30, 1893 REPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W. H. Rule, Ashburton:—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed stoneware, th a latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with grbat facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho* roughly tested with the most satisfactory results. Recent investigations on the subject of filtering have shown that it is much more effective than waa formerly supposed, even whe.i soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter itself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and is very neatly got up. A.
