PERRIMAN. — ALLENTON.— I HAVE received instructions to Sell 4^ acres of land of first clsbb quality, J well situated, and within »n easy distance of the town. Upon the land is O | erected a very substantial dwelling of seven rooms. This property is well N worth the attention of buyerß either as an investment or for residential S purposes. • I( P. PERRIMAN. P The Portable Swing Water Barrow. | Prevention is Better Than (urej fjnHE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no j X ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of Bervice to reprint an extract from an issue of the "Nineteenth Century" of last year, m whioh special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. ' * The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly! all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no lees than one-sixth to; one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears sue-' cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by tbe effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premised generally, into and upon whioh dairy and kitchen elope have been! thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they, secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one' thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its 1 use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever acd diphtheria breeding agencies j are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes: an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrows cm be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the i strength of mature years, The cost is comparatively email. Possession oi one becomes an^absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. Improyed Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke Btack joint, and Semi-double * sheeted frame— galvanised. This useful household requisite. Bbould be in- spected, when its various excellencies of construction, strength and service- ableness, will speak for themselves.
