A REMEDY for colds is sure, to bv-a wd thing toad " sorts atid conditions of men from Chin* TO CURE A COLD, and Peru." 'inn pro c< dure described by the well-known medical practitioner, Dr. Nassauer, in the Klintheral, Wochenschrift, deserveß to be better known that it has hitherto been. The doctor started from the purely era pirical idea that a cold is a very infectious malady, and his endeavor was to remove its cause as soon as it arose, and after years of experimenting, he now declares he has succeeded in finding a means to that end. When, he says, we come near a person who has a cold, we, too, very soon begin to sneeze, which shows we also have caught cold. The reason is that the exciting cause has got into the mucus membrane of the nose. Shortly after we become conscious of a feeling of discomfort and slight, feverishness Fortunately the irritation in the nose very quickly shows us that infection has taken place ; and, as, further, the spot is very easily reached for thera peutic treatment, it is possible imme diately to cure the cold, although its special bacillus has not yet been dis covered. The method of treatment is so simple that the sufferer himself can carry it out without the help of the doc'or, It is so efficacious that for many years he has not had a cold he did at not once get rid of. The prescription ro be employed is as follows '—Take a strong solution of potassium perman ganate (that is, put enough of the potassium upon a small knife to cover the point, and dissolve it in a litre of water). Put a few drops of the solu tion into a litre of warm water, which will then turn pale pink. This dilute solution is pat int© a small vessel, even a common tumbler will do. Then blow the nose well, after which wash out the nostrils alternately with the solution, [t is a good plan to allow it to run out through the opposite nostril, or else hrough the mouth, in which latter case also the palate is cleansed. After that dip a little bit of cotton wool in he solution, wrap it round one finger, *ud rub the inside of the nose with it to remove all bacilli and other im purities. Then stuff a piece of dry cotton wool as far up each nostril as posoible. Thereaponjbend the head as far back as possible, and run some of the solution up the nose so that it is absorbed by the cotton wool, which Utter may remain up the nose an hour or so; it will not cause inconvenience. Blowing the nose well will remove the | wool. Naturally this remedy is most efficacious when applied as soon as possible after the first appearance of t the symptoms, but even later it has a very good effect.

Local and General.

Beading matter on fourth page. The Standard Time —The new standard time was to have been introduced m South Australia ab midnight on May 1, when the clock at the General Post Office was to have been put forward half an hour. The change will plaoe Adelaide time half an hour behind that of Sydney and Melbourne time, instead of an hour as at present. Railway trains will run according to the present time-tablea,, and this will give the Melbourne express half an hour longer between Adelaide and Serviceton.

Bulbs as a Stew.—A family in Hastings | had a somewhat exciting experience last week (according to the Standard.) A friend had Bent along a sugar bag containing jonquil, narcissus, and other bulbs. These were mistaken for onions, and some of them were used in a atew. ihe lady members of the family were first to Bit down to the meal, and they had not proceeded far when they were seized with violent fits of vomiting. They were at a lobs to understand the cause, and allowed the male members of the family to eat some of the stew, when they, too, were overcome with sickness. It was subsequently found that the bulbs were the cause of ail the trouble. These bulbs, it appears, although not poisonous, possess valuable properties as emetics, and . are largely used by the medical profession on the Continent. The bulba of all "the flowers that bloom in the spring" are dan gerous in this way. This Bradley Station Licmtr.— Ihe Press has the following regarding the invention oi a gentleman once well-known in Ashburton. Last night (Monday) a very successful trial was made of a railway station yard light, which has been designed bj Mr James Bradley, the manager of the Westport Gai Works. The lamp, which is of the same pattern as three erected at Westport, is sft across and 7ft 3in high. There are fifteen incandescent lights in it, and it gives 40ft line of light dipping downwards, so aa to throw the light on to the rails, thus facilitating shunting at night. The lighting and extinguishing of the lamp is controlled by wires at the foot of ib. The consumption of gas is 60ft per hour, at a cost of sd, which means that an illumination of lOQCKcandle power per hour is obtained for 6d. It is intended to put up three more of a similar kind in the yard at the station, the trial being pronounced a great success by experts. The Wbeok op thk Tasmania.—A con temporary states that Mr Porter, who is in charge of the salvage operations at the wreck of the Tasmania, estimates that 890 of Belk's J patent air bags will be sufficient to raise the 8.8. Tasmania to the surface. If not, j sufficient bags oan be placed under the i vessel's decks, a cable would be put round her and air-bags attached* The bags oan be made in Wellington at a cost of £2 each, and are of strong indiarubber, protected by rope netting. They are fitted, with safety valves, which,' as the vessel rises to the surface, and the pressure from within the air-bags, meeting| with less resistance from the weight of water outside, increases, will let off a sufficient quantity of air to prevent the bags from bursting. Each bag, it is estimated, has a lifting power of three tons. Mr Porter says a survey of the Tasmania has been ;completed. The whole of her decks have been traversed, and the diver has been down the fore and main holds. The vessel is reported to be in good condition and free from rust. The winches are not oorroded, and the rigging is quite good. The main hold is full of general cargo. He ia confident of beiDg able to raise the vessel by means of the patent bags. Too much stress cannot be laid on the fact that in the whirl of unnatural excite ment, and in the struggle for existence in this generation, no attention whatever is vouchsafed to the most ordinary rules of health. When the muscles become relaxed, the nerves over-sensitive and delicately strung, and the brain wearies at the slightest task, these symptoms are part of Nature's warning that the delicate organism of the human frame is out of gear. In most cases a gentle stimulant and mild restorative is all that is required to impart fresh vitality to the jaded nerves, and it is a well-known fact that a few doses of Holloway's Pills work wonders, and restore the lost tone of the nervous system?

The wedding cake, too, which came from Auckland months ago, and which has since nourished some millions of ants and copra bugs, is m the hands of a local confectioner, who is busily engaged repairing their ravage.

Some samples of the ore, which were recently brought to town, are pronounced to be excellent specimens. The contract for getting out the chrome has been Ut, and the stuff will be sent down hill to the waterside m bags. It will be readily taken by vessels as ballast, and at current rates it is expected that the 1 sale of the chrome should prove remunera . tire?

Many Lives Lost.

United Preßa Association—By Electric

Telegraph—-Copyright

Adelaide, May 9

A boy named May has arrived at Cape Borda from Rocky Biver, and 1 states that the gbip Loch Sloy was] wrecked on the south coast, near the Brother Island, on the morning of April 24. One of the crew arrived at thfl island, and states that all on board were lost, except one passenger and three members of the crew. The passengers numbered thirty-four all told. Assistance is being sent. The details of the disaster are meagre The scene of the wreck is at the entrance of Gulf St. Vincent. The Loch Sloy was bound from Glasgow to Melbourne, with general cargo. May is not a member of the Loch Sloy's jyrew, but was sent by his father to report the wreck. One of the survivors managed to reach May's house in an exhausted -condition, It is feared that the others will not survive their wanderings in the wild country. A tug has sailed in search. The Australian passengers by the vessel are Robert Logan, Leicester and wife, Mrs Oartlidge, George Lamb J and for Dunedin, David Kil pa trick. The vessel was commanded by Captain Niccol. (Received Wakapuaka May 10, 9,20 a.m, Guardian Office 9.58 a.m. Adelaide, May 10 The Loch Sloy's crew and passengers together numbered 35. The names of the four survivors are — William Mitchell and Duncan McMillan, able seamen; William John Simpson, apprentice; and David Kilpatrick, passenger. Mitchell gives the following account of the disaster:—The Loch Sloy drifted so close to the rocks that she could not run out again and she struck heavily. There was an enormous j sea running and Mitchell never saw | anything to equal the sight, even round Cape Horn. This is the third time he has been wrecked. Captain Nicoli was a splendid Christian. From the time his vessel struck he never moved off the deck but stuck true to his post. Within ten minutes all hands were washed overboard. Two women passengers—Mrs Leicester and Mrs Oartlidge—climbed the masts and showed no fear. The masts were washed down in a few minutes. The vessel struck at 5 a.m., and at daylight only the bottom part of her was left. Kilpatrick and Simpson were unable to swim and floated ashore on barrels. Mitchell swam ashore with McMillan. All the survivors were thrown on the rocks within two yards of each other. Mitchell saw no sign of any other living beings tken or afterwards. Kilpatrick would not leave a water hole on the way although his companions implored him to stick to them, Mitchell and Simpson were eight days reaching Cape Borda and were delirious when found. Both revived wonderfully after a bath and food. (Received Wakapuaka May 10, 9.50 a.m.. Guardian Office 10.41 a.m. Adelaide, May 10 The Loch Sloy carried seven passen gers. No complete list of the crew is availablp, but letters are lying at the Post Office in Adelaide for the follow ing persons:—Captain Nichols, Peter Cleland, T. A, Cleland, Kilpatrick, George * Downden, Empson, Robert Smith, Robert Birnie, G. J. Twidle, J. MacMillan, T. H. Leach, R. Mulligan, Hugh Mcßride (the ship's carpenter) and J. R. Brown (steward), Archie Martin, R. J. Smith, John Bucha nan, and George Lambie. One of the launch hands at the semaphore station, states that friends of his named A, Finlayson, McKinnon, Neil, and A. Robertson were expected by the Loch Sloy. The cargo is valued at £30,400, and, it is understood, was insured in Lon don offices, where the hull is also insured. Received Wakapuaka May 10, 1035 a.m , Guardian Office 11*35 a.m. Adelaide, May 10 The search for Kilpatrick, who was left by his companions at the water hole will be resumed this morning. It is feared he will have wandered from the water hole and been lost, or become demented. He was in delicate health and took a trip to the colonies for the benefit of his health. McMillan made his way to May's house, and reported the wreck. Another Wreck. Perth, May 10 A telegram from Onslow states that a, large ship, name and nationality! unknown, has been wrecked at Port Cloates, and nineteen persons were saved, and one drowned.
