Public Notices. ' HYDROPATHIC SANATORIUM, ASHBURTON. CAN RHEUMATISM BE CURED 1 rpHIS is a universal complaint. By JL some it is considered to rest merely in the blood. Others think the cause of Pain, Inflammation, and Swelling is owing to the sheaths of the Muscles and Nerves wanting the required serum; derived from the blood, which is necessary to lubricate the sheaths of the muscles and nerve?. Rheumatism will never be cared while the tongue is red or futred, showing chronic inflammatory action in the mucous membrane lining of the stomach, liver, and bowels. OUR REMEDY for this Complaint consists of Fomenting, Steaming, Sweat ing, Rubbing, Blistering and Bandaging in its different forms, and we NEVER FAIL TO CURE. Avoid all Stimulants, Ale, Porter, Spirits, Medicine or Tobacco, little animal food. These precautions i and treatment would sa7B thousands from a painful existence.

Och ! its a great while ago, an' snre enoueh I'm afraid them shoes and the ould mare I'll never part. I'm certain she'll never wear them out. What'll I do at all ? " Take her back to KINGSTON," said Tim, "he'll cut her feet down and put the ssme shoes on again, and then nnybe the'll wear them out. You ought to pay him illigantly. instead of only paying him FIVE SHILLINGS for shoeing your horse" ' Shure enough an' I will, an' I'll shout for him too.' 'But he's a ta-to-tler.'

REPORT ON WAI-RONGOA NATURAL MINERAL WATER SPRINGS, Bottled only at the Springs, NORTH TAIERI, N.Z. GOVERNMENT REPORT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES~It ls 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 springs at Plombieres, in France, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of beaefHng his health. As the results of my investigation, I am of opinion that, the Wairongoa Mineral Water Springs are of perfect purity and especially suitable for preparing a high class natural Mineral Water. A. G.
