Mouat Somers School Treat.

■» ■- From Our Own Correspondent. The annual school treat and distribut ion of township, surrounded by a high gorse hedge and alining the large hotel stable* which would have been a welcome letreat had the afternoon turned out stormy and wet. But as ie was the weather was all that could be desired, save that it was rather on the witty Bide, with now aud then an occasional gust from the nor'weat. The refreshments S-ait, Harvey, Patton, Kerr, Hood, and Turton, was m charge of the refreshments, while Messrs Tait, Kerr, Harvey, Beckley and Turton were most indefatigable m their iffortß to keep the children amused and the events humming. The sports part of llw programme include,! a large number of events and the entries were well filled by both old and young. There were events for running, walking, jumping, skipping ; sack race, egg and spoon, potato, and old married men's and women's races : and other events such as fill m a big 41 bill of fare." Perhaps the moat amusinp event waß the old men's rice, when four competitors faced the starter. After a tood tart one, perhaps the heaviest man on the ground, being upwards of 18 stone, waß mak ing good headway and a fast pace, when Ins legs gave way and refused to answer the call. He fell, almost btock-Dg the course, and causing the otherß to jump over him, a very risky undertaking. Not only did he lose the prise, but aho the money for which he had backed himaelf to win. The prizes for the sports events comprised toys and a number of very useful articles of olothing, etc., obtained from some of the drapers m Ash burton. At the conclusion of the sports Mr LTait, Chairman of School Committee, m the absence of Rev. Mr Westbrooke, presented each child belongiug to the school with a book as a reward for diligence and good behaviour during the past year, and gave them a few words of encouragement to go on with their studies. He referred to the hardships teaohers received at the hands of irregular attendee, and the gain and good results to be obtained from regularity. Mrs Timson also kindly gave special prizes for attend ance, the recipients being Winnie and Wilfred Hood. The popular prizes have yet to be decided by the vote of the scholars. After the prizes had been dUtiibuted, cheers were called for the school committee, chairman, and Mrs Kerr. The chairman, on behalf of the committee and scholars, then returned thanks to all who had assisted m any way to make such a success ful field day. The young people theu adjourned to the schoolroom, where a very pleasant dance was held, and kept up till early morning. Excellent music was pro vided by Mrs Arnold (piano), and Messrs Price (violin) Arnold (sello) assisted at intervals by Miss Hood and Mr Beckley. All surplus derived from the dance was to be hanaed over to the School Committee. During the evening Mr Price announced that m the course of a month or two, a vocal and instrumental concert would be held iv the schoolroom to provide funds for laying down a new floor. The Board of Education intended plac ng a graded floor, but as the School Committee laid before them the necessity for some place for social purposes the Board very c mrteously did not inter fere, but left it m the hands of the Com mittee. Special mention was also made of the very excellent and high-class music provided, suoh as had never been heard be fore m a Mount Somers ballroom.

Holloway's Ointment and Pills are be yond all doubt the most valuable and most convenient medicines that traveller cari take across the seas to distant climes, for change of climate and the new conditions and surroundings of life to which they will be exposed will assuredly give rise to great disturbances of the system "' and to such especial morbid Btatea of the blood and constitution generally as will render the use of these effectual remedies highly necessary, for they will find m them a ready and safe means of relief m most of the diseases which afflict the human rac, and with them at hand they may be said to have a physician always at their call.

A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. AL vnm NEVER fails any one m .rVldAUlll 6ucn a predicament. To guflferera from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, BiliouaneßS and Constipation it ia "A friend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew- ing the energy Alaxum is the best. It? secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi- fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the fact that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, habits or ocou- pation, and produces no inconvenience m its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the most valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form. ' i ALAXUM OUBES Biliousness, Bilious Headache, Dizziness, Costiveness, Sour Stomach, Loss of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia^ Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the of nutrition.J NOTE THIS WELL The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound, and yet through derange- ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform cheir functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impover- ishment of the whole being. Such a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to boo the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. Ib is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. ' After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila tioa of the food ; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept no substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.' It may be better — ftr the dealer — because of its better profit, but m such an instsnce the dealer ia not thß onejjwho needs help. FROM ALL CHEMISTS & STORE- KEEPERS, PKICE 2s6d THE FIRST SIGN OF A COLD Should remind you that the best time to commence taking something is at the begin- ning. It should also remind you that the best remedy to head off a spell of sneezing, coughing and general unpleasantness is Ben] amin Gum, MEN START AT MY STATEMENTS ABOUT BENJAMIN GU M! Thousands of bottles have been soil, and universal praiße of its curative qualities is the result. Note the Name : Spencer Vincent's GS-rear Benjamin CJrum Extract PRICE \ s Q Take no other Remedy, bua insist on having BENJAMIN GU M Don't take "Just as Good." TESTIMONIALS. Woolston, August 10, 1897. To Sfencbr Vincent, Christchurch. Dear Sir, — For Borne time past I have been suffering from a moßt painful cough. I had quite given up hope of its ever leaving me, at least or the remainder of the winter, and feared that it had become chronio, seeing that other remedies failed to give me relief, muoh less cure. The pain became so intense that I waß afraid of injuring my throat and head, especially the latter. I prooured one bottle of your Benjamin Gum, and I may say that I hadn't an atom of faith m its curative properties, but felt that I must take something to ease the pain. I drank contents of first bottle very freely, and am thankful to say m less than twelve hours I was wholly free from cough. E. W. Sears. P. S.— Nearly three moothi since cough

SANDEK «Sc sons Euca- lypti Extrnct. Under the distinguished patronage of Hib Majeßty the King of Italy, as per communica- tion made by the Minister tor Foreign Affairs through the Consul-General for Italy, at Melbourne, March 1% 1878. Awarded diploma at the Amsterdam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract m the market, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state :— It is proved by tests by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Schulz, Professor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Mossier, Director of the Medical Clinics at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of ds resinous and other substancos, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the plant All crude oils, or co called hucalypti Extracts are to be clawed according to the named authorities, among the turpentines, which ire abandoned long since as an ntemal jdicament. These crude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m specific density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resine and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt extracts, are applied hy mistake m cases of croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.
