THE PREMIER MAKES A STARTLING SUGGESTI N WBICH MAY PROVE AWKWARD FOR SOME: PARLIA- MENTARY CANDIDATES. fT.BE Premier, wheo speaking at the open- X ing ceremony of the Palmerston North Art aud Industrial Exhibition on Monday last, said : — ' '• . "I must not forget (o 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 constituency 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. lJ ■ . ■ This was a moat thoughtful suggestion of the Premier., But* what is the value of brains without digestion? He should have gone further and recommended the applica-__ lion of the X' Rays to the digestive organs of the whole of Her Majesty's subjects, when ie would have been found that those whe were m the habjt of drinking ordinary teaa - would find the coating of the stomach con- verted into a sort of partially tanned leather. This causes indigestion, shortens life, and spoils the most angelic temper. Suratura Tea being as pure as the lily un- dented, is not only harmless, but an invigor- ating digestive tonic, and is recommended by ALL who have used it. Note. — An important omission was nearly '" being made m this ' advertisement, viz. : — The usual guarantee that Suratura Tea is NOT blended with China or Indian Teas. JOHN ORR & Co., • Agents.

Since I had the operation of * Tracheotomy ' (the same as the late Emperor of Germany, and unlike him, thank God, I am still alive) performed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, no one could possibly have had a more violent cough ; it was so Dad at times that it quite exhausted me.
