Y OU'VE HIT IT? " Now there can't be any question about it ! St. Jacobs Oil does conquer pain. Look here, Bill Snooks got the rheumatics, and lay round his fireside grumbling with the weather. Major Atkinson, his family, Gladstone, the rheumatism, and every other celebrity he could think of. His wife, finding him no company, went to a prayer meeting for cheerful society and relief; the eldest boy suddenly recollected he had to meet his boss at the warehouse ; and Sally, the girl who played the piano and sang ' Home, Sweet Home' as a rule, went to bed under the impression she had a headache. Bill growled himself black in the face until Mrs. Bill returned with a bottle of St. scobs Oil, which the minister recommended her to get, and then the equanimity of the Snooks household was restored, and the hired girl got a new bonnet. Now, is there any doubt about that? You knew Snooks, of course you did."

He was a clergyman, and hailed from England, and this is what he said to some friends in the smoking-room of the iarawera on a very recant trip : "Yes, I carry a Waterbury, and have always found it quite reliable. I'm fond of fishing, and often wade a great ileal when playing a salmon or landing a big trout. Every time 1 used to get ray watch web formerly it cost me twelve and sixpence to put it right again. I bought a Waterlmrv, and although it has often been under water, its accuracy has never been affected ; so I have ceased to carry any other for the last two years." I R AND A 00A I.
