AS APPLIED TO CHAMBERLAINS COUGf^ REMEDY.

CHIID'jS NEGLECTED COLD ANp TOE RESULT. ■ <• ■•■■■• •--.,.. Colds are the special banes of childhood, and often lay the foundation for the more serious diseases of after-life. One child catches cold, and scares its mother x into hysterics by having croup in the dead of night., Another child catches cold, and before it has fully recovered from it, takes another cold, and perhaps before thait is over contracts a fresh one t This succession of colds, or even the'neglect of a common cold, causes the inflammation of the mucous membrane, which was at first acute, to become chronic, and the doctor will tell you that the child has chronic catarrh," from which it will never fully recover. Still another child catches cold, and could easily haye been cured by proper treatment, but, being neglected, develops the most fatal malady ,of childhood, pneumonia. The doctor is called, and pronounces, it lurig fever, and if the child is lucky enough to live, it has developed weak lunga, making it susceptible to all lung . diseases. - Every one of these children could have been cured by the use of Chamberlalri's Cough Remedy* A few doses df it, and the child's cold is gone. It counteracts.' any tendency of a cold to result in pneumonia, quickly dispelling all fear vof that dangerous disease. 'It. is,also a. certain cure for croupt and has never been known to fail. When; given as soon as the croupy cough appears it will prevent the attack. A medicine of such great worth and merit as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy should be kept in every house where there are young children: Don't wait till the child is sick, and then have to send for it, but keep it on hand, ready for instant use:when needed.

THE CHILD'S LIFE ■ AND DANGERS THAT - THREATEN. The .worst danger to which, the children of Australia are exposed is the neglected cold. If your baby has a cold, don't say, '' It will wear off,'' and let it go at that. If your children have the snuffles, or sore throats, or watery eyes, don't hesitate to stake them from school, for a day or two so that you may break up the colds they; have. Every parent can add to the! healthy. condition of the family and! to his or her own peace of mihd-by guarding against any and every kind of cold, \ Generally, the child does-not know how it caught cold, dt may be impossible to prevent it exposing its sensitive body to those dangers which older persons shun. But the chances of contracting colds can\ be easily diminished by a little' care..,and forte-, thought. If>the children get colds, don't waste any time. Don't trifle with a cold. This warning should be heeded ;by, all. ■ The lives of many children are 'sacrificed each year by neglecting1., the colds which they take ; others cdniract Ichrpnic catarrh^ j from which they never, fully recover.

This remedy contains no opium or other harmful drug, and; may be given agrconfidently to a baby as to an adult. Its great worth and merit in the .treatment of these diseases has beeji attested by many thousands of ihothersi ;- CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY : ' "■■ told, everywhere' 1/6.

of June, i 1862, the Stormbird, which belonged to a iival line, lay near the White Swan, in Napier Harbor: In the coiirse of conversation a friendly rivalry induced certain remarks which culminated in the captain of the White.Swan offering to wager that he would nVake the trip to Wellington fft 19 hduris.- The White Swan sailed on Saturday afternoon, June 27, 1862. Night came down, clear and fine, and the Stormbird sped down the coast, hugging it as , close as safety permitted, and though there was no "nigger on the safety valve," she was doing her best. Passing Flat Point, a fire'.jvas noticed on the beach,, arid there,jvas some discussion as to its, cause, ;b,ut, it; was.decided that shep-. herds from a, neighbouring station were camping there. On arrival at Wellin§itori the Stormbird rail alongside a coal hulk-to coal and await the arrival of watermen* s boats to land her passengers. i Says Captain Symonds:—'' I had give> orders for the fires under one of the boilers to be drawn and the boiler cooled off so as tc clean it. Then I went on deck and called to the hulkkeeper. .' What time did-the Swan get in? 'She's not in yet,' he replied. Captain Mundle was on the bridge, and I turned r and said, laughing : v ' Swan's not in. She's broken down, I bet.' Then we saw. a boat pulling out to us as fast as her crew could row. She ran alongside, and a paper was handed up to me. It read: 'TKeep ; j*our steam up. The Swan's ashore.' j That'was all. I told the skipper, and after we had coaled the Bird went in to the: wharf,'arid took aboard stores and bedding and an extra saloon staff.' Then off we went ' lickity-clip' for i Flat.Point, where the Swan was piled up. The cooks and stewards worked I double shifts, cooking and preparing] in other ways for a crowd of passen- ' gers. When we arrived. we saw the dow of the White Swan sticking oijt erf the water some distance from the j beach, and on, shore were all her crew \ and passengers. She had struck on a I reef which runs far out, and had ;torn j a hole in her bottom. Only the readi- j ness of her engineer kept her afloat, for by rigging her condenser pumps so that they drew from the inside of her hull, instead of the outside, the i ship was kept afloat until she was run ashore. They had barely time to-110 it. The fire wd saw as we passed was one built by the passengers." The Stormbird carried the 65 passengers \ and the White Swan's crew to Wei- j lington, but the Government records ' Were lost; Sir William Fox offered £150 reward, yet no man ever earned I it. All the expenses which' the despatch of the Stormbird involved were borne by the Government.

dated in 1896, which was found-in his repositories.. , Mr Chree, for plaintiff, said (that, a' will was discovered by ; defendants amon^ the/repositories % of deceased', and was sent by'them to plaintiff, but owing to the attitude which defendants took up it was necessary that this action should be raised. That attitude was that the will which they had sent to plaintiff was: void from uncertainty. Some two mohthb , after that will had.been discovered the same persons on making a more thorough search, found a later will. His client,: therefore, abandoned the action, and asked for octets.- ~UhderVthe .first" will' his client would benefit tdv.th© extent of £30,000 or £40,000, but now he would feetinothing.

"■■'■ ".'■ ' Mr/Mcphail, for the, defence, in giving his side of the story, said that after this somewhat eccentric old gentleman died- an extraordinary accumulation of stuff was found. Among the documents was one in the form of a will, which was sent to the bishop in case he should consider he had any right in it. / ■ The bishop a% once said that he was entitled to' everything in the way of moyableSj and proceeded to write letters forbidding defendants from looking for further papers. He also got a judicial factor appointed, and fired off this action.

He was warned riot to do these things by defendants, as there might be other payers.

BARONET REFLECTS ABOUT BISHOP.

Among the memoranda found was one to the following effect:—

TheMHshop will be very much disappointed if he expects on my death to get anything. I have already , given him far too much —much more 1 than I can afford

Counsel went on to Say some little time ago, after all hope of finding any other documents had been given up, in dismantling the bed in which the old gentleman slept one of the servants found a packet dated a few days before his death, addressed to his solicitor, enclosing a holograph will. Lord Mackenzie said that if he could have seen his way to place the expenses of defendants upon the testator's estate he should have been very much disposed to do so; but as he understood defendants were not the parties who shared the estate under the testamentary document which had been found he was \unable to do so, and accordingly the result would be that the plaintiff could only abandon this action on the ordinary terms—namely, the payment of expenses.

It is stated that the Letterfourie estates now go to Mr Henry Shee, Recorder of Liverpool, a nephew, and that they will ultimately fall to the heir-at-law, Mr Patrick Shee, H.M. Commissioner on the Lagos Gold Coast.

ECCENTRIC LEGACIES;

.A tantalising will, revoked by the discovery of another testamentary document, was the reason of much litigation in the Scots courts, which received its quietus" from Lord Mackenzie in the Edinburgh Court of Session recently. .
