Before commencing the business of the meeting of the Pt. Elizabeth Medical Society, yesterday morning, the chairman (Mr. J. Devine) asked for a ruling from members as to whether the Press should be admitted. The last meeting of the Society had been reported by the Press he said, but he did not think it fair that the matter which they were discussing should be broadcast through the papers. No other friendly society allowed the Press admittance to meetings. Mr. W. Simpson moved that the Press be excluded from the meeting. An amendment that the Press be allowed to remain, but that the report be perused by the Committee and. amended as they saw fit before publication, was moved by Mr. V. Armstrong. Put to a vote, the amendement w’as carried by a large majority, only a few members supporting the. motion. More and more dressmakers are turning* to Academy Paper Patterns. They like the smart styles! How easy they are to follow! And' of course, no' waiting. Full range of patterns in aU sizes available at C. Smith’s. Advt.
When the doctor looked/in to replenish his capacious pouch he remarked in that half-humorous way of his “my colleagues are always—and of course most, properly—stressing the importance of pure food and pure water, hut. do you know. I think pure tobacco is almost, as important, as pure anything else.” “That's right, Sir,” agreed the tobacconist, “but of course we can’t guarantee the purity of.all the brands we have to stock." “Quite so,’ ’smiled the doctor, “so let’s have my usual two ounces of Navy Cut No. 3, I know that’s pure; been smoking it for years, and' I suppose that like all the genuine toasted brands it’s as guiltless of’ nicotine — therefore as harmless —as it can be. ‘Toasted’ certainly has a delightful bouquet." “I know,” said the tobacconist, “I’m selling a lot of all five toasted blends, Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold.” “Glad to hear it!" said the doctor, “it merits its popularity. Trust the public to know a really good thing!”—Advt.
