The matron of the Patea Hospital desires to acknowledge with thanks the receipt oi:—Lamb from Mrs Quaylo, books from Mrs 'Priestley, magazines and illustrated papers from Mrs M.

The meeting of the Committee of the Life* Saving Society which was to have been held on Friday night, lapsed for ' want of a quorum owing to several members having prior engagements. It was eventually decided to adjourn the meeting for about a fortnight, when an endeavour will be made to obtain a full muster of members. This time of the year all people are subject to coughs and colds, while iufluenza, bronchitis and asthma i are frequent visitois to the town, but the best safeguard against these tiresome complaints ever pat on the market and one which never fails to ward off an attack is 'Williams’ Influenza Cure.
