LOWER THE RATES.

I Most readers will agree with in 3 iv saying i ''Yes; lower the rates; whether ie be poor-rates, municipal-rater, or paro chial rates, show me the way to lower them and I will quickly adopfe it ! " If this eagerness to lessen financial expense — general ratesis so universal, what must it be when the death-iate i 8 considered ? Surely no one would neglecb any reasonable chance of lessening the danger of disease — to lower the death rate. Any means; any ag^nt ; any suggestion should be welcomed by all. Still ; there is surprising apathy on the part of some on this vety question. Here we have at hand, within reach of every inhabitant of every town and city m Australia, a means, a remedy — Warner's Safe Cure — which has been adopted and tried by thousands, where its timely use has lowered the death-rate and reduced the invalid list : but strangr to say many are ailing tc-day, who hesitate adopting or trying this safe and sure remedy :n the face of this proof ; m the face of thou nands of letters from previous invalids, now enjoyitig good health, — unimpeachable testi mony of Australian men and women ; worthy inhabitants of towns and cities from every part of Australia You may ask, "How is it this remedy is ao universally successful ?" Easily explained. Nine-tenths of all human ailments are caused by diseased kidneys or liver, and a sure way to cure these troubles is by treating the organs which cause them Warner's Sate Cure acts directly upon these two organs, and by purifying the source you purify the stream — rnmove the cause, This medioine has now been before the public i) early twenty years, and reports from all civilized countries show it possesses the power of healing the kidneys and invigorat ing the liver. Why nob adopt it? Why should precious time be wasted, and the symptoms which trouble you be allowed to increase, when friends and neighbours assure you it cured them, and m face of the abundant proof of its lowering the death rate!

THE LONG-TAILED CUCKOO.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Herewith I forward you a mutilated specimen of the long-taittd ouokoo —a summer visitant lo New Zealand from the Polynesian Islands. The bird was caught by Mr James Smitheram's household cat, un<i sent to me for identification. Like other members of the cuckoo family tho bird is parasitic by laying its eggs m the neat s oi other native birds which hutch and carefuliy rear them. A second but much smaller f-peoies, called the shining cuckoo, aUo visitß New Zealand annually from South Australia. Both birds deposit their eggs m tho nost of the little grey warbler, who hatches them and caters ahnnat uueas>ingly throughout tho day for their suppoit. When full grown the young cuckoo i« a dczeu times the siz) pf its foeter-parene, and is extremely voracious. The nest of the warbier is pensile and hooded ; if is generally built on the five outnr branches of young manuka trees, and affords seoure and com fortable quarters for the young cuckoo against bid weather or enemies. The grey warbler is the most cheerful and energetic of our native birds, which fits it for the onerous task of feeding the voracious young cuckoo. Althongh the cuckoos arrive m New Zealand about the firat of October, they are rarely seen on the Canterbury plains until the autumn. This cam be explained by the grey warbler breeding only on the outskirts of the bush. When the family cares are over for the season they visit and remain m Bettled districts during the winter. The cuckoos generally assemble at the North Cape m April, and take flight to the islands ef Polynesia for the winter months. The instinct that guides the migratory cuckoos to and from New Zealand and their selection of the warbler's nest is remarkable, and offers an interesting sub jeob for investigation,— l am, etc., W. W. Smith.

Our Regardls to Mr. Russell.

The writer of these lines hereby tenders to Mr W. Clark Russell the assurance of his thanks and appreciation. I have always loved sea stories, and those of Mr Russell stand at the head of their class. From * The Wreck of the Grosvenor,' to 'List, ye Landsmen!' I have read them all. \et salt water, and the things thereon and therein, are not the only things he knows about ; not by many degrees of latitude. In his last book he makes a sailor talk thus : — " 1 have suffered from the liver m my time, and know what it is to have felt mad. I say I have known moments when I could scarce restrain myself from breaking windows, kicking at the shins of all who approached me, knocking my head against the wall, yelling with the yell of one who drops m a .fit ; and all the while my brain was as healthy as the healthiest that ever filled a human skull, and nothing was wanted but a musketry of calomel pills to dislodge the fiend," &c, &o. So much for what Mr Russell's sailor (or Mr Russell himself), Bay* ; and there are plenty of people who can testify that this is not a bit overdrawn. One fact m particular it helps us to realise, namely, that the life of a sailor does not guarantee good health. Indigestion and dyspepsia — of which liver complaint ifi a sequence and a symptom — are as common among sailors as among landß- \ men. j One of the latter, however, may now tell I of his experience ' All my life 'he says, ' I had suffered from billiousnesß and sick head aches. I would have an attack about every three weeks. At such times my appetite left me, and I could neither eat nor drink for days together. I suffered from dreadful sickness and straining, and vomited a greenish-yellow fluid. My head felt as though ir. would burst. I had a bad taßte m the raouth, sallow skin, and the whites of the eyes turned yellow. I was recommended to adopt a vegetarian diet, und did so, but the attacks were just as frequent and violent. I consulted dootoraand took their medicines, but was none the better for it. In this way I went on year after year/ Well, we shall agree that there could scarcely be a worse way to go on, and it all came about thus : — The overworked stomach put more on the liver than the latter could do Indignant and disgusted at this tho liver refused to do a stroke more than it? proper share Hence more bile accumulated ia the blood than the liver was able remove. This surp us bile acts as a slow poison — >nd not so very slow either. The tongue is furred ; the head aches and feels dull and heavy ; the eyes and skin are greenish yellow ; there is dizziness and nausea ; cr>ld hands and feet ; spots before thf> eyes ; a pungent, biting fluid rises into the throat ; constipation; high coloured kidney secre tion ; prostrated nerves ; irritability ; 'oss of ambition : fears and foreboding?, &c , &c. This is "biliousness" or ••liver com p'aint" m its simplest form When lodjz unchecked it produces irregular notion of the heart, rheumatism, gout,, and any or all, of a doz -v other organic disorders. There ia no more certain or powerful impulse to mis behaviour ; suicide and other crimes often result ing. What to do ? To get rid of the poison by starting the skin and bowels into energetic aotion ; then to keep them going at a healthy and natural gait. How to do this 1 Let our friend Mr F. Widger, 4. Portend Square, Plymouth-- whom we have just quoted —speak on that point. In his letter, dated March 3rd, 1893, he adds " Two yearß ago. after al? medicines had failed to help me, I first heard of Mother Seigle's Ourativs Syrup. I procured it from Mr Ri S. Luke, Chemist, Tavistock Roa<l, and began to vs 3 it, and nothing else. After having consumed one bottle I found myself vastly better, and by continuing with it 1 got rid of my old trouble al'ogether./' We should mention that Mr Widger is a tailor and outfitter at Plymouth, and well known and respected m that community. He permits us to use his name out of grati tude for his recovery. The poteno«' of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup over liver disease is due to its ability to cure indiges tion and dyspepsia, whioh is (as we have said) the cause of liver disease. Every house on the land, and evety ship on the sea, should have this remedy as a necessary part of their stock and store*. Perhaps Mr Russell may recommend it m his next book. But no "musketry of calomel pills." Ob, no.
