"RANDOM SHOTS" NOTES.

(To tbe Editor.)

Sir,—Knowing you over desire to do justice, I must ask you to please correct in an early Saturday supplement a paragraph re myself in last Saturday's issue, viz., concerning what the writer inadvertently, certainly under, misinformation, stated— that a gentlemanly man was a remarkably cool thief in abstracting a pair of boots from the office of a well known legal light. However, to pub the matter shortly, let me state, with the full consent of the legal light referrod to, that the whole charge is unfounded, and, therefore, I respectfully ask the inserted contradiction. Thanking you in anticipation, I am, etc. The Individual Referred to.

Newmarkeb, April 28th, 1894. Edward Hare, Esq., Medical Electrician,

Turner-street, Auckland. Dear Sir,—l feel it my imperative duty to express to you, as far as I can, my heartfelt thanks for the remarkable good which you have done mo. and lor the great kindness and generosity which you have shown in rendering me this servico. When I think of my state and condition when I meb you aboub the end of January last; when, owing to bavins suffered for yeara from rheumatism, it had settled in almosb every parb of my body, bo that I could not lift or use my arms, my legs also being in a fearful condition, and when I could not do any work, and compare it with my present slate and condition, after an interval of three months, when I can now return and follow my ordinary work, and go about among my friends, I cannot find words to express the thanks you deserve. When I also consider thab you have done this without reward and from the fulness of your hearb on seeing my crippled and helpless condition, I am quite unable to express tbab measure of gratefulness which I and my family feel wo owe you. My pains, accompained with buring heat from the knee to the ankle, which, as you know, was a dark brown colour, and the dangerous ulcerated and inflamed state of the throat, and the diaordorod condition of the stomach, liver and kidneys have all now disappeared before your ten electric and mineral batba and massage, and your herbal medicines and linimenb and oil, and your forbidding the use of tobacco. For all this, I repeat, I am mosb grateful, and I promise you I will never reburn to my former practice of chewing and amoking tobacco, which I am now satisfied is a great producer of my enemy rheumatism.—l beg to remain; yours gratefully, William Serle, Short-street, Newmarkeb, Auckland.
