Any one who has children will rejoice with L, B. Mulford, of Plainfield, N.J. His little boy, five years of age, was sick with croup. For two days and nights he tried various remedies recommended by friends and neighbours. He says; “ I thought sure I would lose him. I had seen Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy advertised and thought I would try it as a last hope and am happy to say that after two doses he slept until morning. I gave it to him next day and a cure was effected. I keep this remedy in the house now and as soon as any of my children show signs of croup I give it to them and that is the last of it.” For sale by J. 0. Oddie,

The Terauka Caledonian Society’s first Ingleside took place on Thursday evening in the Volunteer Hall, Temuka. The attendance was only fair, the falling off being very noticeable, probably owing to the hard times, some 35 couples only being present.

The society’s piper, Mr Mabin, accompanied by Mr Sharp, played the opening march, with the popular president, Mr A. M. Clark and Mrs Henry leading the dancing. Mr A. Bissett was successful as M. 0., and the caterer, Mr J, A, McCaskill, gave every satisfaction. Dancing was kept-up until about 1 o’clock.

Our better halves say they could not keep house without Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. It is used in more than half the houses in Leeds. Sims Bros., Leeds, loawa. This shows the esteem in which that remedy is held where it has been sold for years and is well known.
