IRON EATEN BY AIR.

HOW CLIMATE AFFECTS DRUGS. (Experiments by Professor Remsen.) ' - Professor Rkmsen is known as one of th#j highest authorities on chemistry., In an intesting lecture- he refers to the great effect air has upon metals and drugs. , ,;.' When iron, as Professor Remsen reminds; us, is exposed to the air it becomes covered', with a reddish substance called rust and, in] time, the iron completely disappears through the action of the air— so it is not bard to< understand how easily delicate drugs will be; affected. The professor wade this clear by: interesting experiments. HiS showed that phosphorus must kept under water because ' it burns as soon as it touches the air-—while I potassium and sodium must be kept in oil, because they blaze up as soon as they touch water. Air and moisture, therefore, ran many drugs unless special care is taken. Professor Remsen, of Baltimore, and Dr. Williams, of Edinburgh University, both understand thoroughly how drugs put up in one form for certain climates are useless in an--other climate. For this reason the doctor has taken care that the European, American,: South African, and Australian formulas for' Dr. Williams' pink pills are specially adapted; to the different climates. It was found necessary also to have a special formula for New, Zealand, so that our peculiar climate would, not destroy in these pills the wonderful power of the drugs to make new, red blood. These pills for N.Z. are now manufactured in Wellington—and all patients should see that th*< words, Wellington, New Zealand, are on every package. These genuine N.Z. pills are always put up in wooden boxesnever in, glass bottles. Pills made for a foreign country have . never brought about such truly miraculous cures all over Maoriland. But the' pills made from the N.Z. formula have cured! thousands here, including Mrs. 0. Hunt, oh Clark-street. Waihi. Six years ago cold started in her the sharp, sudden pains of rheumatism. Hei muscles were so drawn andstiff that she couldn't move. After three years' torture, she heard of many in Auckland. Thames, Waihi, and Hamilton whom Dr. Williams' pink pills had cured, so Mrs. Hunt tried them. She was careful to see thai.' the words, Wellington, New Zealand, wera. on the wrapper of each box. After using two : boxes the pains lessened and the muscles be- j came pliable. Six boxes made a perfect cure.; And so she has the best of reasons for recommending them to those who suffer from rheu- 1 matism, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, and other diseases of the blood and nerves. Mrs.' Hunt is a native of Auckland, and settled in Waihi six years ago. Professor Remsen in pointing out how air and moisture ruin substances like phosphorus and potassium and even hard metals like steel, enables everyone to understand how easily a climate like that of New Zealand will affect ordinary medicines. You are nob getting an ordinary medicine, however, when von. buy the genuine New Zealand Dr. Wil-1 liams' pink pills, made in Wellington from a. special formula suited to these islands. If you insist on getting the kind put up in "wooden boxen, with the genuine address, Wellington, New Zealand, you know that you have the greatest blood-builder and nervetonic in the world. It is by filling the veins I I with new, rich, rod blood that these pills core ( paleness,' headaches, anaxmia, debility, indigestion, liver and kidney troubles, women's ailments, and all complaints of the skin and complexion. When in doubt about the genuine kind, send to the Or. Williams' m«*ieine Co., Wellington, enclosing three shillings for one box. or sixteen and six for six boxes- Professor Remsen and other eminent scientists show clearly that a special formula is necessary to combat the effects, 0f... the N.Z. vlimatc. - ' ,'
