DOCTORS DIFFER ABOUT RHEUMATISM.

It is rather strange that with a disease so prevalent as rheumatism, there are many things still unknown about it. The higher medical authorities frankly differ about the treatment of the complaint. It is more common in women than in men, occurs at all ages, and is closely connected with conditions of ill health ; hence it is often seen amongst those with thin impoverished blood. In chronic rheumatism most success is obtained by measures to strengthen the patient's general health. The strengthened system is thus enabled to throw off the complaint. This treatment is known as the tonic treatment, and most success by this method has been obtained by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They increase the blood supply and impart energy, enabling the sufferer to throw off the complaint. These pills are obtainable at all dealers. A useful booklet on " Diseases of the Blood " will be sent to anyone sending a post-card with their name and address to the Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Ltd., Wellington.

An interesting lecture, under the title of "In Holy Places," was delivered by the Rev. C. H. Laws, at St. John's Ctiurch, Ponsonby Road, last evening. There was a large attendance. The lecture was illustrated throughout by lantern slides depicting the various places visited by the speaker. Musical items were rendered by the church organist, Mr. Raynor White.
