JTX EAL TII IS WEALTH. The ladies of Auckland who sutler 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 if light or dark colours. Shipments of these goods are now in port/md can be obtained from all the well-known drapers. All ladies interested in hygienic garments are re quested to call and inspect the. samples now on view. wholesale agents : W. Mc ARTHUR AND CO., QUEEX-STREET. mHE REASON FOR IT. Wherever men and women congregate it 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 a 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 the possessor of a bad cold in. the head is frequently the cause of very much more fun at the expense of the victim than of sympathy for his sufferings. Our grandfathers and grandmother's tell us that things were very different in the days when George the Third was King, and the only reasonable way in which to account for it is that in those days there was no known speedy and certain, cure for such troublesome complaints. But with the advent of St. Jacobs Oil, which cures any and all of them promptly and permanently, there was no longer any necessity for the excess oi sympathy, which has, therefore, beta directed into a different channel, and is now kept principally for men who get married 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 introduction to a grateful world.
