STEALTH IS WEALTH. The ladies of Auckland who suffer from backache or headache, the effects of a humid climate, will be glad to know that the Electric Corsets, so favourably known in England and in other parts of the world, are now obtainable in Auckland from their own drapers, in all sizes and either in light or dark colours. Shipments of these goods are now in port and can be obtained from all the well-known drapers. All ladies interested in hygienic garments are re quested to call and inspect the samples nor* on view. " WHOLESALE AGENTS : W. McARTHUR AND CO., QUEEN-STREET mHE REASON FOR IT. Wherever men and women congregate iti is frequently a subject for comment and discussion, " Why do people show so little sympathy for their fellows undergoing a slow martyrdom of agony from neuralgia, rheumatism, toothache, or, perhaps, only * cold in the head ?" There can be no mistake about the amount of suffering which proclaims the presence of, say, a decaying tooth, or the throbbing, burning goading misery of neuralgia ; yet they elicit but) scant sympathy for the sufferer ; while the abject wretchedness which characterises tlio possessor of a bad cold in the icad is frequently the cause of very much more fun at) the expense of the victim than of sympathy for his sufferings. Our grandfathers ana grandmothers tell us that things were very different in the days when George too Third was King, and the only reasonable way in which to account for it is that in those days there was no known speedy ana certain cure for such troublesome complaints. Bub with the advent of. beJacobs Oil, which cures any and all 01 them promptly and permanently, there wad no longer anv necessity for the excess 01 sympathy, which has, therefore, _ been directed into a different channel, and is now kept principally for men who get marnea or have money left them in large quantities. But St. Jacobs Oil still keeps on curing all the troubles, as it did on its first i" traduction, to a, grateful world.
