FOR STOMACH AND BO WEL DISORDERS.

Axg-ies's Petkoleuii Ejiulsiox is especially

' adapted to the treatment of stomach and 1 bowel disorders of a catarrhal, fermentative, j ulcerative, or tubercular nature. It soothes ■ and disinfects the entire ailmentary tract, checking fermentation, cleansing away foul mucus, and neutralising the effect of poisonous products in the bowels. In this way it | promotes a healthy condition of the digestive 1 organ?, and enables them to perform their functions naturally. The medical .profession prescribe Angier's Petroleum Emulsion for Chronic Dyspepsia, Chronic Diarrhoea and , Dystentery, Gastric and Intestinal Catarrh, and Ulcers, Tabes Mesenterica, etc. It has cured many long-standing cases of Chronic ' Diarrhcea after other remedies had faile-d. Angier's Petroleum Emulsion coiibines the antiseptic, soothing and healing properties, of a specially purified, tasteless petroleum, oil with the powerful nerve-ionic qualities

of the Hypophosphates. It has been prescribed by the medical profession of the United States since 1381, and by that of Great Britain since 1892, and h largely used in tho hospitals of both countries. It is already prescribed by leading medical men in all large New Zealand towns, and can be obtained through any chemist. In two sizes, 2s 9d and 4s od. In buying, be careful tc ask for Angiee's -Emulsion, as otherwise you may receive a cheap imitation made with ordinary petroleum. — The Angier Chemical Co., Ltd., Sydney. N&W.

educate them -in this work, and when you are ' assured that they know just how to go about it, commence your work of strict supervision, ' always using as your main argumentjtbat it j is a question of pounds, shillings, and pence • ,to them. Point out that it is in their interests you wish for improvement, and the Bounder the condition of the milk on its arrival at the factory the more likely is the resultant produce to" be of fine quality, which an turn will mean higher prices and readier eales. Also point out that if milk is allowed to remain in the milk-cans uncooled and unstirred during- warm weather ihe cream will xise and toughen, and on being carted to the factory in the morning will not readily dis- • solve and mix with the milk again, but will j •break up into" clots, which will in all pro- j ■bability carefully avoid the dipper when the Idaily Bample is taken. This will mean lower tests than, should be the case, and, I say. just ; punishment for their neglect. Do not aim to t achieve too much at first, but commence j leniently, gradually raising your standard as j your milk-producers fall into line. Be firm j and steadfast in your purpose, and, above all, avoid growling. Mr - Ruddick said that ,Mr M'Gowan had for some years been manager of one of the largest factories in the colony, and he had condifcted it with great .sueceps. He was now engaged by the department. He had j visited a great many factories, and had oppor- j tunities of seeing how the work was done. A The speaker was in hearty sympathy with the j ideas expressed in the paper they had just j heard. H^ believed in the idea of inspection, but the system was attended with difficulties. It required a man to carry it out who was possessed of a considerable amount of technical knowledge about milk and the changes i.t j underwent. He had always noticed that the i men who look the most, interest in the milk j supply themselves were the men who were i the most successful in conducting their fac- j tories and turning out the best article. He believed he was the man in the best position to effect the improvements necessary in connection with the milk supplied to the factories. Mr Bacon said that for four years he had carried out the system in connection with his factory. He found that there were a good many difficulties connected with the inspection. For instance, he ascertained that the aerators were not being used, although there was a by-law rendering that necessary, and when he endeavoured to remedy matters some of friction ensued. One man was in the habit of bringing in milk whose j quality was not up to the standard. He j complained to him several times, and then visited the farm during milking time. - Instead of taking his visit in the proper light, the farmer wanted to fight him. — (Laughter.) He never went near the man again. He found one man had been using sheep dip on the cows' teats to heal sores. — (Much laughter.) Another supplier had been using carbolic acid on his cows' teats lor a similar pur- . pose. — (Renewed laughjter.) His aption to get a better supply was brought under the notice of the directors, and there was divided opinion amongst them on the subject. Mr M'Gowan raid there was a considerable amount of trouble in working some men, but , lie had made allowance in his paper for that. ' Mr Ruddick said a weak point in the sys- | tern was that if a farmer's milk was rejected ; at one factory it might be accepted at an- ' other, and it would be necessary, in order to secure progress, that one factory should support another. Mr Nagle thought it would be a good thing: if they could see their way to offer small i prizes to the farmers who supplied the best quality of milk, and also kept their premises \ in the best condition. i t Mr MacEwan thought that a good plan would be to have some scale fixed whereby niilk should be paid for in accordance with its ■ quality. It was human nature to be seusi- ' tive when the pockets were touched, and if the managers had power to deduct from the prices for depreciation in the quality of the milk, a solution of the difficulty would be attained. The directors of the different fac- . tories should take a very strong stand in the j matter, and he believed that with the support j the different factories would get from the j Agricultural department there would be such ] a permanent improvement that everyone connected with the industry would be benefited. Mr Ruddick said the suggestion made by Mr MacEwan opened up the question of grading j the .milk. There were many difficulties con- j nected with the scheme, however, and which j seemed to render it impracticable. There were samples of milk which, if deficient in quality, an experienced man would be able to detect at once. Tn other samples, how- i ever, there would be a difficulty in detecting ] anything wrong at the time it was received. ! It seemed to him to be a very difficult matter to' carry out such a ., scheme, "but it was one the merits or demerits of which might very well be discussed. If it could be got to work, it would bring about a great improvement. Mr Milne said it was all right in theory, but impossible to carry out in practice. He thought the whole /matter was one which devolved upon the manager. If he were reasonably well backed up by his directors he ought to considerably improve the quality of the m-ilk without creating any friction. — (Applause.) „- It was decided that a vote of thanks be accorded to Mr M'Gowan for his instructive and interesting paper. Before the meeting dispersed, Mr Ruddick said that ,an experiment had been ma-do by the Taieri and Peninsula Association to do awav^with the woody smell which the butter became impregnated with after being in the boxes. The experiment ■was to coat the interior of the box with paraffin wax. Parofiin wax entered into a combination with but very few chemicals, and it did not enter into a combination with anything in the butter. It was completely" odourless. In Canada it was universally used to prevent the butter from acquiring a woody taste. The wood used in the boxc there rendered this precaution more necessary than was the case with New Zealand wood used in making butter boxes. When he came Jiere first he was astonished that nothing like this was used, but when he afterwards paw what wood the boxes were made of he recognised the precaution was necessary. It improved the butter, and as every little thing -told, it should be tried. The boxes were heated before the wax was put on, as the wax dried very rapidly, and if it were put on to the cold wood it would be calculated to crack and neel off. It cost about a halfpenny per box in Canada, but there there was so much crude petroleum that paraffin wax was cheap. The wax could be obtained from the Standard Oil Company.
