SUGAR AND SALT.

A Delightfully Dignified Protest, A couple of months ago, "Truth 1 * published a three-column article dealIng with an alleged course of treatment for nasal catarrh at £3 3s a pop. When the treatment, or at least directions for treatment, came to hand It was found to be an outburst on the dangers attending the eating of smlt and sugar. A Wellington lady was one who was taken m by tTio high falutin* advertisement and parted with three good guineas. She afterwards wrote to tho author of the rubbish and received the following reply: Dear Madam, Your letter of 11/10/22 to hand and contents noted. The many points you raise I have absolutely no means of verifiing any of thorn. You should have thought of all that before you put mo to the exponco of giving you MY SISTEM OF TREATMENT. You acknowledge that you recoh-ed what I promised to send you — then you koop that, and send mo a threatening letter, which I may inform you is verry close to BL.ACKMAIU If not, actually it. I hay« ' evidence to put before tho Court— if by my hearing more about it, you hint at legal proceedings m an ondeavor to frighten mo into returning the few shillings you VOLINTAItI/? SENT ME, which would swamp you twice over m any court m N.Z. I should advise you to bo more careful or it is you who may get into trouble, not me. I remain Dear Madam Truly Youra (Here follows tho signature).
