"For croupy coughs," says Mr «J. Abbott, general merchant, Dandenong and North Mirboo, " there is nothing quite so good as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is the one medicine that I always keep in my home, so as to have convenient to give any of the children who sKow symptoms of a cough or cold. The longer I use it, so does my faith increase as to its efficacy. The people of Danenong think a great deal of Chamberlain',s Cough Remedy, and their comments are always flattering." For sale by J. Benning, Blenheim, and W. Syms, Picton. * Phillip© Bevrier, a wealthy cattle expoi'ter of the Argentine Republic, who proposes to lead an expedition to the South Pole in the coming fall, starting from Buenos Ayres, recently arrived in New York to get suggestions from Peary, the Arctic explorer, and from Wellman and others information relating to the Antarctic Ocean. Don Bevrier, who has retired from active business with sufficient means to finance the polar undertaking, will go from Buenos Ayres to V ic~ toria Land, the most southern point known, and there make his headquarters. He will store there enough food to last the party two years. He already has 400 specially bred Esquimaux dogs, and has engaged three young men who will graduate from the college of engineering in the University of Wisconsin. ' He says one of his motives for the expedition is to show the world that the Argentine Republic is progressive. Woods' Great Peppermint Cure for Coughs and Colds, never fails. li 6d and 2s 6d. _ 3 Professor Korn, a German scientist, has perfected an invention to reproduce portraits by telegraph.' The possibilities of this marvellous invention was recently demonstrated by a photograph of President Fallieres being telegraphed from Paris to Lyon and back to Paris again. The photograph to be telegraphed is reproduced on a transparent film. This is placed round a cylinder and enclosed in glass. Directly underneath the film is a cylinder of selenium, a metal peculiarly susceptible to light influences. The cylinder and the selenium are placed in the sending apparatus. It revolves at a high speed under a strong electric light. At each revolution the light is focussed upon a tiny point of the photograph, and the amount of shade upon the photograph is printed on the selenium. Having recorded the dot, the light passes on to another point, and so on. The cylinder revolves in such a way that the same point of the photograph is not subjected to the light twice. The records made on the selenium plate are reproduced upon a selenium plate at the other end of the telegraph wire, and the plate is transferred to a film, and is the negative from which photographs may be printed. The comfort of elderly people depends very largely on keeping the bowels in a healthy condition. After a certain age, muscular weakness causes chronic constipation, a complaint which invariably causes serious illness. No medicine is so safe, pleasant or certain for old people's relief as Chamberlain's. Tablets. Try them. They are just what you need. For sale by J. Benning, Blenheim, and W. Syms, Picton. * A rare Chinese manuscript, brought some years ago from Pekin, has been discovered in Copenhagen. It is a translation of the book on anatomy by Pierre Dionis, and contains many copies of anatomical drawings from the works of Thomas Bartholin, the famous Danish anatomist of the seventeeth century. It originated in the request made by the Emperor Khanghi (1682----1722) to a French priest, by name Perennin, in 1677, that he would translate a European booK on anatomy into Chinese in order to introduce Western medical science into China. Perennin selected Dionis's and Bartholin's works, and- the Emperor gave him a staff of twenty assistants, who took five years in producing the manuscript. i Only three copies were made for the private use of the Emperor. Mr Horace J. Moon, Secretary, Empire Hotel, Wellington, N.Z., is a great believer in Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He says:—" I am pleased to be able to speak in high praise of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, it having cured me of a very severe cor.gl, Other cough mixtures I had taken failed to even relieve me."
