In the “New Zealand Pictorial’’ for Wednesday, April 13th, is a pic ture of a man fitting a customer with a 2/6 suit, trousers for 2d, and overcoat for 12/6. The purchaser of one of the 2/6 suits took it to “Uncle’s” and obtained 8/-, a profit of 220 per cent. On the top of the same page we find the Earl and Countess of Lytton turning their ancestral home into a show-place to obtain sufficient money to replenish the revenues of the estate. At the bottom of the page appears a “floating club,” the steam yacht “Alacrity,” in which the Hon. Arthur Eliot and Commander Montague Graham-White propose* fo escape the Defence of the Realm Ac*, restrictions, by mooring the yacht at sea off Poole. This floating club will have a twenty-four hour bar, in addition to a jazz band, and all kinds of deck sports to entertain its members. There we have capitalism in all its glory, and in all its stupidity. Further comment is superflous.

There is no possible shadow of doubt as to the efficacy of Parkinson’s Influenza Specific. It is prepared specially for this complaint, and if taken on the first symptoms will in every case ward off the attack. We advise you to keep a bottle in the house in readiness. Influenza comes on suddenly and the first symptoms are well known. Therr is usually a feeling of depression, aching bones, a slight headache, sometimes a sore throat and cough. The temperature rises above normal. Get in at once with the specific. Takp a teaspoonful dose every two or three hours and in practically every case the temperature drops, the headache ceases and the aching vanishes. It’s wonderful stuff. It is made by Parkinson and Co., Chemist. Greymouth, and sold in bottles at 1/6 and 2/6.—Advt.
