Mr D. G. Sullivan, M.P., was recently advised by his doctor in Christchurch that the condition of his health required that he should have a complete rest for two or three months. Mr SulliVan, however, had arrangements in hand for a lecturing tour in the North of Auckland, on behalf of the Labour Party, and he -decided to carry out that undertaking first. He addressed a series of meetings, but at Dargarville the strain of continuous travelling and speaking showed its effect, and Mr Sullivan became indisposed . during the meeting. A medical man was called in, and he vetoed any further public meetings for the time being. Mr Sullivan is now recuperating in the north prior to returning to Christchurch.
