INSANITARY SLAUGHTER-YARDS.

TO THE EDITOR. Slß,— ln your report ol the County Couuc.l meeting on September 2 you have led people to understand that I wa9 refused a slaughtering license on account of the .yards being m a bad state, which was not the case. The license I applied for was for anew s aughter-house, and it would have been fifteen chains, and not six, as stated m your report, from the belt. I iuvite m- Bpeotion at any time of my s'aughter house, which was about second on the list for cleanlinesa m the Ashburton county, accord ing to the inspector's report. Thanking you m anticipation for inserting this. — I am, etc., W. A., Strachan. Rakaia, September 2, 1899.

THEN AND NOW.

In olden times it doth appear The maid of high degree, Whilst men went out with Bword and spear, At home did sit from year to year, And little fun had she. The HveloDg day her wheel went round, Sped by her nimble foot, With such a whirring, cooing sound,* That I'd have sunk m slumber sound Amongst my maidens mu'e. I have a wheel— the modern miid Treads hers as much as she, Who, 'midst the stir of sitgi and raid, Rat m her bowers fair but staid, And heard sweet miustrelsie. Ah, nowadays 'tis different g ute ! My wheel takes me rfar, I have no steel-clad, plumed knight For me, his " lad ye fayre," to fight— Tweed-clad my escorts are. I pit not with my wheel at home And spin the linen fair, Through pleasant lanes and woods I roam, Along the sands where breakers foam- It takes me everywhere. Tis true the woollen gown I we-r Was bought, not spun by me ; I'm sure I am not half so fair As Bhe ot old-time — I don't care : Her spinning wheel I would not change For my dear wheel, on which I rauge The roads. Don't you agree ? —Bella Sidney Woo!/, m Li tile Folks for ApnL Holloway's Ointment and Pills — " The Boy Stood on the Burning Deck.' — Some irreverent person has declared fhat hie reason for so doing was that it waa too hot to sit down ; but this is a libel. The reaßon was that the gallant boy would not desert his post. With an implicit obedience to his father's commands he stayed upon the burning ship, and went to a glorious death. Bub suppose at; the last moment young Casabiar.ca had been saved, what then ? He would certainly have been v.ry much burned, and the best th ng for him Wi.u d have been an immediate application <f Holloway'a famous Ointment, a certain remedy m all cases of bum", scaMp, ab- Ecaeues, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, bronchitis, asthma, sore throat, and tha like

Awarded diploma at the Ams'erJam Exhibition, 1883. Acknowledged by Medical Clinics and Universities all over the Globe. There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract , 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 be of perfectly pure origin, as per nformation forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, Maroh 2, 1878, we tate : — It is proved by tests by the Medioal Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr. Sohulz.Profeßsor of Parmacology, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moseier, Director of the Medioal Clinica at Greifswald, that only products that are ! saturated with oxygen and freed of resinous and other aubstaucos, adherent to primary distillation, will develops the ianalive qualities proper to the plant \\l crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts are to be classed according to the named authorities, among the turpentinee, .which are abandoned long since as an nternal adioament. These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are 'discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour— which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracb develops moat freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholio thin and mobile appear- anoe being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. By tbeirtaste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennatea, If these crude oils, Bocalled euoalypt extracts, are applied by mistake m cases ol croup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamations, dysentery, etc., the con- sequences are most appalling.

[When Mr Strachau has read our report a second time he will find that the ohainage was that given by the petition' of the Rakaia settlers, who prayed that his application for a license on the site pro- posed by him be refused. The petitioners also objected on sanitary grounds, and the petitioners included m their number very many of the leading people of the district. The second reading we invite Mr Strachan to try will also show him that the very insanitary yard dealt with was another man's premises altogether. — Ed ]
