Consternation has been caused by the discovery that a second-class lady passenger who travelled on the steamer Karoola is Buffering from small-pox. The Karoola arrived from Sydney with 323 passengers on Monday, and ■was granted a " clean" bill. She has been lying in the river since. All tie passengers were vaccinated prior to their departure from Sydney. The bulk of them left the vessel on her arrival, only those for Adelaide and West Australia remaining aboard. The patient, after visiting friends in the city, returned aboard, and, discovering suspicious symptoms last night, visited the doctor, -who diagnosed her case as one of small-pox. The Karoola, with 230 persons aboard, including 132 remaining passengers, was . immediately taken to quarantine.

Received July 17, 1 a-m.) SYDNEY, July 16. There were nineteen fresh caeses of small-pox to-day, mostly from the suburbs, including three or four new districts.' WHY RHEUMO CUBES RHEUMATISM. SOME INFORMATION FOR THE SUFFERER. The proof of RHEUMO'S efficacy in cases of Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, and Lumbago lies in the fact that hundreds of Now Zenlanders have personally testified to its success. There is a reason why RHEUMO cures where other alleged "remedies" fail, and tho reaeon is this:Rhotimo is solely a specific for uric troubles Gout, Rheumatism, Sciatica, and Lumbago, and it is compounded ao= cordingly. It is not a "euro all." Eheumo commences to work at the seat of the trouble —uric acid, and disperses it without iirberforitur with the normal functions of the body. Thus the blood becomes purified and rheumatic symptoms cease because tho cause has been removed. After taking RHEUMO the one-time martyr finds himself once more able to enjoy life. Hero, for example, arc a few wcrde from a letter written bv Mr W. James, for many years proprietor of tho Terminus Hotel, Christchurch—a sufferer for 1-1 years:—"l tried almost every remedy suggested, but with little relief. About three years ago I tried Rhemno and it gave me the greatest satisfaction." All chemists and stores, 2s 6d and 4s 6d.
