In "view of a recent regrettable incident, in which a Rotorua citizen lost his life through eating, honey, it -will, perhaps, interest tho public to know (says the Roiorua Chronicle) that the plant which, in all probability, causes tho trouble is known by tho Natives as rangiora or wharangi, the botanical name being brachyglottis repknda. It has a large leaf, almost white on the underneath parts, and flowers in the early spring. Whether tho bees arc injuriously affectod by it is unknown. There is an idea, also, that wariki, a ranunculus, one of tho New Zealand , buttercup family is another source from which the bees "-ather poisonous nectar, which they manufacture into lionoy in their laboratories. This is not so well authenticated as the other plant, but it is known that stock die after eating it. Tho plant grows in swamps, and bears a small yellow flower. Shun imitations of NAZOIj, the remedy that daily conquers thousands of coughs und colds. To ensure satisfaction get gemiino NAZOL. No oold is NAZOLproaf.
