St Patrick's Day in the North

(By Mb R B Rkstell)

it may interest some of your readers io know how St Patrick is honoured op in fchG Waikato, March ITth, and the ' Ngsranwahia Regatta ' mean 000 And the same thing to most of the folk sp this way, and given a fine 17th, one ices the greatest turnout of pleasure Beakers imaginable. Excursion trains are run from Auckland in the north and from the other ends of the line loath and east to Ngaruawahia. *nd jradging by the recent occasion WUrch 176h should be a red letter day to 38©w Zealand Hallways. Trains b«g*n Io arrive at Ngaruawahia about 10 »,m »nd kept arriving at short intervals till after>oop. An extra special had to be put oa, from Auckland, which filearad the department out of rolling afeook, and some hundreds of people bad to find other means of spending their holiday—for a holiday it is— every, shop and store in the diatrijfc elosea up with one accord. It is estimated that over 10,000 people as sembled at Ngaraawhia, bat whether they all saw the Begatta is hard to ■ay. It was amusing to see folk meet for tbe firat time for a year or moro and note how they celebrated the occasion. Ngaraawahia township is situated at the junction of the Waikato and Wafpa rivers, and a better spot for aqaafeic sport would be hard to find. The rivers are wide and navigable to email oraffe—steam and oil boats and fcow barges comprising the shipping of the " port." The Regatta itself was a light worth going a long way to ace— especially the Maori events —chief of which wia the War Canoe Race. Four large war canoes of diffdrent tribes competed, each canoe carrying from 36 to4onativeß( and the precision with which these dusky boys handled their padtleß was marvellous j of the entire number, I don't think one nun was ©at of time with his paddle* and the j woe resulted in a close finish. I. don't j know the name of the winning canoe or 111 tribe, and probably you are jael as well off without it! Another amusing j event was a Canoe Hardle Race, in which Maori ladies took their canoes ©?er raili about a foot above the water. Some of the antics cut by them caused raproaifs of applause from the Bpec j tatora; There was a Horse Swim ming Race, In which horaea and fMers had to swim about half s mile—this was woiih leeiog. There were m»ny other events in both "black" and "white," •• gretay boom " and'Bo 00. Steam launches plied up «ztd down the river accompanying each race and wer® crowdfld with passengers »i sixpence • trip—h»d they charged 2a 6d it would have been ill the same. On the bank was a ecene of animation ; the 10,000 folk amused themselveß in mwy ways, some " picnicked," others patronised the hotele and restaurants for their laoch and refreshments. I m*j s«y the former establishments and a booth on the rivea bank had a "day out" There were shooting galUries, ikittle alleys, *nd aant sallies galore, mi oumerow side shows ■•!■ moderate chargei. I don't remember ever having iien so Urge a crowd of people appar ently go well satißoed with themselves wad their surroundings as the crowd at tbe Nga Regatta, Very few accidents were reported thoo«h I witnessed a lady with an infant i.n her arms getting iisocked down by s oart; the lady was j badly braised I he«r, bat the little oao •ecaped. So did the galoot in charge of the horse and cart. Those of the visitors who had driven to the Regatta left sa they wished and had r pleasant moonlight drive home, while fche train people made tbe best of horse boxes, open tracks, and what carriages feliey could seeare. Retaro trains were all timed comfortably, and ran up to the platform and despatched to the minute, each carriage (or track)_ being carefully placarded with its destination etc, bat ia spite of this several people found themselves in a different part of the world altogether from where their homes werej and had to cool their heels (and heads) till Btich time and oppor tanity offered for them to get on the right track—of course they blamed the railways ! If any of your readers happen to be up this way next March, tfaey will do well to make a • mental note in their diaries' and don't forge* |o stop Io the Regatta.

ii-HirijiiZL BLOOD AND LIVER TROUBLE Another Ca&e in Dunedin. The Case of Mr. T, KING. {By a Dunedin Reporter,} At a well-appointed shop in Main road, South Dunedin, a special repre sentative interviewed. Mr. Thomas King, who carries on a boot-making business at the place mentioned. Mr. King made the following remarks:— .-■-, " Some years ago my blood was in a frightfully bad state. About forty or fifty boils came out on my arms and hands, and you can still see the marks of some that broke out on my wrists. Of course I did not have them all at once, but they came one after another with such persistency that I commenced to think I was never going to get rid of them. The burning, aching agony of those boils made me very bad-tempered. Some days I could not work for the pain I was in, and even) when I was taking a spell I always felt discontented and irritable. At the same time I suf fered greatly with my liver, a- general depression of spirits coming over me, and I looked on the black £»:le of every thing. The food I ate neither sustained nor nourished me. It merely lay in my stomach in an undigested state, and the wind that came from the process of fer mentation which was going on inside caused me a lot of cramping pains and obstinate fits of belching." A dirty yel low colour appeared in my akin, toge ther with a drowsy look in my eyes, which were very weak, with flitting specks before them. $ Another accom paniment of my disordered condition was a strangling sensation, in, my throat, a trouble which immediately followed the conclusion of my meals. I can ac count for this by having a weighty feel ing in my chest, as if I had swallowed a piece of bread which had turned to stone. Another hurtful symptom was a miserable aching pain across my brow y and, besides, I had sharp, stabbing tor tures situated midway between my shoulders, with similarly aggravating pains in my side. The unpalatable taste in my mouth was enough to make me sick, indeed, I often thought I would retch my heart up. My tongue, too, was none too clean. I believe that leng-continued inaction of my bowels hr,d a great deal to do with both my blood and my liver being out of order."



" Could you not rectify such a small matter as that?" ® " I could get nothing to restore re gularity in that respect. Several kinds of pills and medicines wer© tried, but they only had veiy violent and painful effects for a time, a»4 left me m a worse fix than ever. I was greatly ener vated and distressed hj the loss of sleep. After being awake nearly all night I felt too fatigued and weak to' raise my hammer, and when I did "work I can. assure you it was greatly against my will, as I had neither energy nor in clination for it. My nervous system was so upset that I could scarcely drive a nail straight, and I trembled all over very often without any reason. My prospects of getting well looked very blue, for my appetite died out alto gether, and the flesh rapidly fell away. I am sure I was a pitiable object to my customers as they came in and out of my shop, and as the boils continued to appear the most of my friends thought they were incurable. As ail the medi cines I had drank had no< beneficial effect I lost heart and let things g© anyhow. I thought it better to submit to the inevitable than worry myself to death." j " Did you discontinue the use of medi cine, Mr. King?" ' % " Yes, when I found they wer© use less. I had thrown too much money away already. Then I was persuaded to try something else. A friend said: ' Clements Tonic is the best medicine going. You ought to try it.' Sure enough I bought a couple of bottles, and I commenced to feel livelier. The nervous twitchings and indiges tion trouble ceased, and I was able to eat and sleep well. My blood was purified by Clements Tonic, the boils disappeared, and my internal or< gnns acted regularly. Strength gradi* ally returned, and after a course of Clements Tonic I was perfectly sound." "J'hope I may report your remarks?" " You may publish them in any way you like."



STATUTORY DECLARATION. t, Thomas King, of Main-road, South DunedJn, .rt the CnloTy ot New Zealand, do solemnly and sinoeiely declare that I , have carefully rend (hf! annexed document, consisting of tw». Wios and consecutively numbered from one ti. V-vo, and that it contains and is a true and faith* ■ til account of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic, and also contains my full permission to publish ia any way mv statements—which I give voluntarily, without receiving any payment; and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act ot the General Assembly o{ New Zealand, intituled " The Justices of Peace Act, 1882." Declared at Dunedin this sor-ond day of January, one thousand nine hundred and one, before me, WM. WAR DROP, J.P.
