' THE PREMIER MAKES A STARTLING SUGGESTION WHICH MAY PROVE AWKWARD FOR SOME PARLIA- MENTARY CANDIDATES THE Premier, when speaking at the open- ing ceremony of the Palmerston North Art and Industrial Exhibition on Monday lasb, said : — . "I mußt not forget to mention the Ront- gen X Rays which are on view, and have done bo much to advance medical science and assist suffering humanity. Now, it any constitnency doubted that their mem- ber had any brains, they could get his head photographed m order to see, and I would strongly advise all constituencies to have the brain of the candidates photographed before making a choice." ' ' - This was a most thoughtful suggestion of the Premier. But what is the value of I brains without digestion ? He should have gone further and recommended the applica- tion of the X Rays to the digestive organs of the whole of Her Majesty's subjects, when it would have been found that those whe were m the habit of drinking ordinary teas would find the coating of the stomach con- verted into a sort of partially tanned Jsather. This causes indigestion, shortens life, and spoils the most angelic temper. Suratura Tea being as pure as the lily un- defined, is not only harmless, but an iuvigor- ating digestive tonic, and is recommended by ALL who have uaedifc. , Note.— An impo> taut omission was nearly . being made m this advertisement, viz. : — The usual guarantee that Snratura Tea is NOT blended with China or Indian Teas.
