The medical officer of health in London believes tin putrefaction of the Anstra'ian rabbiis due to their partial thawing botween the ship and the cold stores. The disease affecting the spiml cord added to the causes of putrefaction, 'i he question of importing putrid r.ibbits has been referred to the port sanitary authority.

The Times says that m the comments being made in the city on the New South Wales funding bills issued for a year or two, it is lightly contended thatthsy ought to be paid out of revenue,

BEPORT ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES—It is Invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular water will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro duced. I may compare the Wa!-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springe at Plombierts, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health. As the results of my investigation, I am of opinion that, the Wai-rongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.

AN ADVERTISING DODGE. You can't always tell by the heading of an article what it i 3. It may be an advertise ment for Warner's Safe Cure, ' a safe, sure, and positive cure for diseases of the kidneys and liver, and their developments,' and you do not read advertisements if you know it, but you have read this one so far, and ought to finish ifc, as it will only take you thirty seconds to read the testimonial of Mrs Eliza Parkes, who has resided m Gisbourne, Victoria, for thirty years, which is witnessed by the wife of the Tiev. Mcßride, Wesleyan Minister of Kineton. She says : ' About six years ago I was taken very ill, and was confined to my bed for several months, being attended by the doctor who resided here at th*t time, whom I be'ieve to be a very clever ! and skilled physican, and most oertain'y a very careful and attentive one. After doing all he couW» for me, he gave me no hopes whatever of my recovery, and stated that 1 was suffering from diseased kidneys; the liver, he said, was also in a very bad state, the action of the heart very weak, and the bioorl very thick and poor. My legs were swollen to an enormous size. Having heard about Warner's Safe Cure, I determined to try it. I bought one bottle at a time, and I found ifc was doing me good, so I continued taking it, and after taking several bottles was able to got out of lei. Still continuing the medicine, I soon became strong and able to get about as well as ever. This I consider a wondeiful cure, as my age is now seventy aix years, and I have not had the least symptoms of the old complaint since I left off taking the medicine, which was six years ago I informed the doctor that I was using Warner's Safe Cure, and he recommended me to continue, as he candidly said it was a very good medicine.'

CAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED 1 nrmiS Is a universal, complaint. By JL coras it is considered to rest merely in the blood. Others think the cause of Pain, Inflammation, and Swelling is owing to the aheatha of the MujeJes and Nerves wanting the required serum derived from the blood, which is necessary to lubricite the sheaths of the muscles and nerves ' Rheumatism will never be cured while the tongue is red or furred, showing chronic inflammatory action in the muc us membrane lining of the stomach, liver and bowels.
