Mr. Wilford put in a plea in the House of Representatives the other day for “the white slaves of New Zealand,” by which term he referred to the “poor little children” in tho dairy district of Taranaki. The Taranaki members rose in wrath at this reflection, and averred that the Taranaki children, even though they had to assist their parents night and morning with the milking, were no worse off than the children of Wellington who were out all hours of the night “selling newspapers.” One of the statements made was that the Taranaki children sometimes fell asleep at their desks at school. “Well,” said Mr. Symes, “I often see members asleep in this House.” “That is because we have so much work to do.” observed Mr. Heko, amidst the roar of laughter that followed.

What a .well known Chemist has to say of Dr. Sheldon’s New Discovery. April 27th, 1904. Sheldon Drug Co., 10 O’Connell-street, Sydney, N.S.W. Dear Sirs. — Last week I took home a bottle of Dt Sheldon’s New Discovery for Coughs. Colds, and Consumption. 1 obtained this for my two boys aged seven and four years. The elder lad had a nasty, troublesome cough and cold; the other a bad cold and a cough just beginning to trouble him. Thev each took your cough remedy, which, by the way, they liked immensely, and.' in two days the cough and cold of the younger boy had entirely disappeared, having been cut short in good time, and at the end of the. third day th e elder boy was absolutely cured. • Being a chemist for seventeen years I am naturally somewhat antagonistic to proprietary and patent medicines, but in this instance I must recogniso and acknowledge the efficiency and merit of your excellent preparation, and give credit where credit is due. I was greatly pleased with the marvellous and striking curative and soothing properties of your admirable remedy, which I will add, from a pharmaceutical standpoint, is splendidly compounded.— Yours faithfully, CHARLES A. FINCH, Ph. C„ M-P.S., etc. Kuranda, Boyce-street, Glebe Point, Sydney, N.S.W. A W. J, Mann, agent, ohemist.
