Notes and Comments

A certain class of advertisements of remedies for nervous and other com plain!s ia not permitted in ! v'ew Zea land, and in only one paper in Canter bury do any of them' appear ; that paper cot being quite as well known sa the New York Tribune. The ob fectioriable ads are not likely to come' prominently 'before the public, and must have escaped police notice. An enterprising firm of Sydney—illeged doctors-—geems to know how to get to windward of oar laws, as at the pra sent time the agency of the New Zealand Post Office is being used for the distribution of copir s of an illus trated octavo vol. followed by circulars requesting recipients to hand thf* book round. It ia hardly the Vind of book which one would care to place in the family library,

If an emfloyer living in the country eogages a servant, and the young person after incurring sundry expenses for railway and coach fare, is told on arrival that she is not wanted, she has a remedy at law. If an employer living far back, Incurs all the inconvenience of a Journey to Ohriatcharch for the special purpose of engaging a domestic ser v.*nt, engages one, appoints & time fur arrival, sends a horse and trap a fonrney of 22 miles to meet ber at the railway station only to Sod that she has isbt come, a»d aftewards learns that Bhe has cfafcnged her mind after a duly witnessed bone fide nnderUking, Has that employer a remedy at law ? Me has not r or If he has a nominal one It is sot woitii-the trouble or expense to pin cuo where there ie no - means of recovering damage or expenses.

If railway journeys, Jborseß «nd trap^, hotel and other expenses lud broa used for this purpose indicated, once only, it would bo bad enough, but when it is repeated time after time, when the ser vant produce good references and every curenas been liken as far as precaution can go in such matter?, atd after sll there is !nq appearance,' it is to put it mildly, ifkeonWj »nd, this baa been the writers experience ; In some cases they agree to meet at the Christcburch (Btttion snd go by the sanw tra!n bat do not (urn up. Generally they make ap pointments ft r a few days ahead. Those •re srMcra kppt; Last wrek a married focple dftssppointed in the eaine way, and the Kegistry < ffic 1 mm who is not here blamed, reports his state of things as the rule rather than the exception.

•Ohprcher If s Unions.' Is there « guild 1 Is there any deeply laid scheme for the benpfit of the p*>or dompotic servants uiuifrlyimg the difficulty experienced in securing reliable ones ? Some Bchomo was propounded once by our wise Labour Law advocates for bettering the condi tion of this class of labour, bat. the class seemed to be very wel 1 able to, conserve its own rights without Legislative «"*d ; •nyhow employers as well as servants have rights which however they are poweriessto eoforcdin these iegenerafco days.

$3o qian can soy that; the Right IjfonoijrabJe Rlchsrd is to'; a man of detail, and nothing is beneath hi& noticp, not even a detective, an ex perienced Inspector of PoJSce> for rea sons of which he was tifee most capable judge.' Though proper in the public interest to ii^sfeE- a detective police man Irosjj, bis district to another, the action was approved by all experienced Ctotpmiesionera of Police, and vetoed by the Fremfer—who is of coarse, ex cificio ' Infallible,'' and not impeccable.

If ever Mr Seddon made a blunder faore serious than any of hia many blunders, with unblushing effrontery, U has bean in this matter, bo calcalated to impair the efficiency of an important service.

That which would be ' undignified ' in any other man holding an important effice is in tha case of Mr Seddo&j, merely characteristic

When, a few yeaiest- ago s an enquiry was held into gmve matters connected with the r^iWay. bridge?, and startling info'Bjafeion elicited. The same absolute authority afopped the publication of the report of ths Parliamentary Com mittee after the first sheets had been printed, and it was allowed, except that, a feeble protest was made by Mr G J Smith, Mr Tanner and one or two others.

The conclusion of the whole matter is that Roya^Ooraraiaaions enquiries and other expensive a' 11 ows are ran as nut ters of form to satisfy a deluded people. If the reports are not wholly p'easing to the Hod R J Seddon, he calna'y brashps them asid« as tboneh they had not been and the humour of it lies in the fact that he is allowed to have hfa way with impunity. Members of Par liament quail before Dick who in big turn ie the abject slave of, and' today, his real masters—The Trades Union.

DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months I have been completely run down, suffering from Nervous Debility, Estrerae Weakoes3, and other ailments incidental to my sex. My condition was such I was quite unable to gst aboofc, or to do any thing afc all. When I heard of the great benefit othar sufforera. had derived from the use of Piantekoa. I procured a bottle, using it as directed, and the result was ss gratifying as it wag astonishing. 1 became quite well again, and able to get about as usual. I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yoara tru'y. Mus J.

My wrists and ankles were.muoh swollen, and very painful Several things I tried without efiecb.

I Bhould like, also, to sa/ a word for Plantekoa Ointment.
