Disinfectants are good in their way. They neutralise contagion and dissipate noxious odors that invade the atmosphere. But they cannot destroy miasma, nor can they render the human frame proof against their mephitic influences. To guard against these requires internal remedies. Something that will have a repellant tendency, and will so operate on the frame as to render it impervious, as it were, to these poisonous exhalations. The best internal disinfectant is Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps.—fADvr.l When in 1840 the first settlers landed in Wellington they found it very different from what it is now. Lambton Quay was nothing but sand and scrub. Little did those early settlers think that in 1881 they would be able to buy a first-class Lockstitch Sewing Machine for 455, yet it can now be procured at Robt. Gardner & Co.'s Cheap Sale, Lambton Quay. —[Adyt.]
