(Extract from an old soldier’s letter to his comrade) Dear Harry— “* * * And now as to my health. Well, old fellow, you know that our nights in Iho trenches during ’65 and ’66 were not calculated to lengthen our days, but at that lime we did not mind it, as our solo object was to catch Kereopa, but he had too many faithful followers. Bravo fellows those old Maoris were ! How in our maturer years wo can admire them ! lord bow I wander ! What I want to say is that I have been laid up with a fearful dose of sciatica and lumbago, eight weeks in bed unable to turn. My poor wife had a time of it. After spending a good round sum in medicines, lotions, and God knows what, wo got some St. Jacobs oil. I was always a scoffer at patent medicines, but, by Jove, I shall be more cautious in future. It was the only thing that seemed to tackle the old enemy and clear him out. I have an occasional reminder, but St. Jacob always comes to my aid. Indeed, next to St. Patrick, he is the beat saint in the calendar. # # * Yours, &c., 1] K. I. O’DEA.” Fob Continuation op Reading Mattbb See Fourth Page. Wanted.
