The Government biologist ha<* dis covered that the disease known as " water rot," which has carried off thousands of sheep in the western dis trict, has as its intermediate host one of the commonest of fresh water snails, all the phases of the development of the " fluke" being observed.

Melbourne, November 26

Owing to the drought the crops of beans and peas are not expected to go over fifteen bushels to the acre, which is much below the average. Last year there were half a-million acres cut for hay, but this year will not exceed three hundred thousand acres, and the average will not be more than fifteen hundredweight per acre, which is the lowest rate for many years.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA j Purifies, Vitalizes, Enriches the Bloody Gives New Life, Health and Vigour, Mr. Alfred C. Jolliffe, of Granville, So. Australia, whose portrait we give above, writes: "I used Ayer's Sarsaparilla in England for years before coming to Australia At times I was much troubled with boils arid other eruptions of" theskin; caused, the doctors told me, by. the running down of a* system and general debility. The only medicine" that has ever done me lastinS Sood is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has always cured me-punfymg my Wood, and giving me new life and health and vigour." The wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on' the market of other preparations called Sarsaparilla. Remember that imitation is the smcerest form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARILLA which has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's -rreat expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and all civilized countries, for more than a generation.
