A JOOULAR LECTURER.

There is a well-known !• oturer »t

J Oxford round whos« name a whole . j family of jokes his grownup. He ii 1 traditionally reported at an early period of his ministry to have given out tha first lino 'j, a well-known hymn a@ " Kinkering kongs," and to have begun a sermon by saying,' Weoftea aro conscious of a half-warmed fish I rising in our minds.' It is said that wh<>n he came late to a luncheon party he excused himself on the ground that

he had been trying a bicycle, whereai there is reason to bilieve that he had been buying a tricycle; and his co« gagement was at least precipitated by asking a young lady, ' Will yoa take uae V when be only meant 'Will you make tea.' The latest of these inversions is reported from a temperance meeting at Oxford. Mr— s presiding, said that though there were grave differences of opinion between various temperance reformers, .till they might all unite in accepting , the Repeal of Lord Port.

A Pathetic Parting.

A writer recently described the light hearted manner ia which modern people __>y «ood bye at wharf or station. He tell- how people set out on a long pilgrimage with tha prospect of never seeing their friends again, and they say farewell as If it were a jolly affair aiter all. There are still partings at which anguish keeps the tongue silent and the cheek wet. But there are parting! whioh should ba merry, parting whioh w« should celebrate like a wedding. It it a pleasure to chronicle suoh partings, and consequently, we make publio the parting of Mrs 8 Aust, whore-idea in Hornsby Street, Maid on, Victoria, she said a long good bye to headach< c and nervousness. Her letter read _ as follows :—" I have great pleasure in testifying to the good results I have obtained from the use of Dr Morses Indian Root Pills. For some time I have suffered with severe pains in the head, also nervous* ■i iiP..,.ki_. after taking two bobtlaa of these pill", I had great relief, and I can ooueoien* ti...i»Sy give *>hem a good word wherOTe.'lgo.'

A BROKBITTuMBLB-_rAND ITS OONSEQUENOES; }>'ai Nai, Lower Hufcfe, September 3, 1901 DEAR Sir,—Possibly the short account contained in thia latter, in reference to the use of PLANTEKOA OINTMENT, may be of interest to you. We had jnsfc removed from Blackbridge to the Nai C.ai when my daughter Ethel had the misfortune to step on a broken !> tumbler, making a fearful gash, cutting into the ball of the foot „nd laying open the big toe In two halve?. We had it attended to, but it seemed to be getting worse, when, about five days after the accident, we were advised to use PLAi\~ TEKOA OINTMENT, being assured that PLANTEKOA wonld soon heal it. At this time it was very bad, the foot swollen and hard, and tha wound had an angry fiery appearance, and looked ag if blood j poisoning was setting in. However, we i faithfully applied Plantekoa Ointment, and ! without going into details, suffice to say ! that in a short time the foot was healed, she was able to pub her boots on and attend school again. 1 I would also like to state that I used Plantekoa Oinrm _nt for my son, who had a gathering or ab .oess in the eak. He was home from work for some time with I. and was in a bad state. The discharge from the ear was of such a character that it would set up irritation on the side of the face, and the pain was very severe. In this case Plantekoa Ointmonb was success-1 fully applied, and in a few days my son resumed work. I cannot recommend Plantekoa Ointment too highly. Yours sincerely, Mrs Jane Swam. This wonderful ointment ought to be in every home, not only to be thoreln cage of accident or emergency, but for everyday purposes, its uses are legion. It is sold by all the leading storekeepers and chemiste ab 2a per large box, or sample boxes for sixpence, while to meet the demand for thia ointment from farmers and others, for use with horses and cattle, ib has been placed on the market in half poand tins at 4s 6d* Unsurpassed for sore shoulders, girth galls, etc. Have you tiled PLaNTEKOA, the Great Herbal Remedy for the Blood ULSTER Bnob Shop—THOS.

HP RE following unsolicited Testimonial H. by a gentleman well known in Ashbnrton speaks for itself :— Masterton, Augusb 28,1901. Ross Antidote Company. Dear Sirs, —1 feel ib my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying tfee blood; I havo been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, eto. My life was a perfect misery, and 1 was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying difFeren. medical men and remedies, of which I had triel almost every known one bub yours, and one da> some eighteen months ago a gentleman came Into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was). He added,' Will you take soma medicine if I procure ib; I replied I will take any thing. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, ana I took ib accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to geb well, and after taking three large bofctleo I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. I always keep ib by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me in perfecb health, and I wish you the success with ib that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this. —I remain yours, etc, J H Pauling, Masterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9232

WllA'X IS PAIN BALM. Oharaber lain's Pain Balm is a liniment. and, while adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities whichdistiguish it from other remedies of this class, Pain Balm is uspeci-lly beneficial for rheuma tiani. Thousands of cases can be cited in which it hiits effected a cure when the sufferer had previously tried beßt medical service wit h out sectoring relief. Pain Balm is positively gtja_.a_.teej. to give relief in the most sb vera cases of chronic or acute rheumatism, Pain Balm heals bruises, burns and scalds in leas time than any other treat ment. It is ' antiseptic,' that is, lb prevents putrefaction and by so doing, generally prevents an ungainly scar remaining after the injury is healed. For lame back, lumbago and neuralgia, Pain Balm has no equal. It has the quality of * getting to the right spot.' No sufferer from these distressing affections should defer a trial of thia remedy. One appli cation gives belief. Tky it. The New Zealand Farmers' Co-operative Association | of Canterbury, Limited, ABhburton, sells 'it.
