Tho total births in the four principal centres for the month of November amounted to 570, against 673 in October. The deaths were 182, a decrease of 34- on the number in October. Of the total deaths males contributed 108 and females 74. Thirty-six of the deaths wore of children under five years of age, being 19.78 per cent, of the whole number. Twenty-seven of these were under one year of age. There were 56 deaths of persons of 65 years and upwards. The death-rate in the four centres was very low, and in no case, did it reach one per 1000 of population which is unusual. The lowest rate for the month was that established by Wellington, which was 0.56- per 1000, as against 0.71 at Auckland, o!82 in Christchurch, and 0.69 in Dunedin. Wellington also has the highest birthrate. Keep Chamberlain's Pain Balm on hand. It is an antiseptic liniment and causes wounds to heal in less time than by any other treatment.
