The Timaru Herald. MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1885.

While the advanced guard of the Conservatives under the command of that fiery but erratic little leader. Lord Randolph Churchill, have been coquetting with the Irish members, and while the Liberals hare been darkly hinting at the inexpediency of delivering one's Self over to the tender mercies of the wicked, Mr Parnell has stated his demands with a clearness and boldness that hare •tricken dumb the most audacious of " Conservative Democrats," and the most effusive of " broad-minded Liberals." Speaking on the future programme of his party, at a meeting held m Dublin towards the close of August last, he said : I hope that it may not be necessary for us m the new Parliament to devote oar attention to snbaidi&rr measures, and that it mar be possible for ns to hare a programme and a, platform with only one plank, and that one plank tho plank of National Independence. I feel convinced that onr great work and our Hole work will be the restoration of onr own Parliament. Public opinion as expressed m the English papers is divided as to whether Mr Parnell means merely a separate Parliament for Ireland, or actually an independent Parliament. When the Home Rule movement was started on a definite basis m 1870, it was then simply contended that there should be a Parliament m Ireland to manage its internal affaire, leaving matters of imperial concern to the imperial legislation. It seems very probable, however, that this is too mild a reform for Mr Parnell, and that nothing less than complete independence for Ireland will satisfy him. He is evidently confident as to the increased strength of the Irish position m the new Parliament. He believes that when the House meets under the new Franchise there will be from 85 to 90 faithful adherents anßwering to his call. In this belief he has come to the conclusion that the time has arrived for the Nationalists to demand definitely " tbe fundamental article of the Nationalist creed." In England tbe announcement we have quoted has been looked upon as a declaration of war. It at once silenced the enterprising spirits m each opposing camp, who were calculating what were the utmost concessions which conld be safely made by tbeir party, and whether these were sufficient to secure the Irish alliance. Mr ParneU's speech is regarded as a clear indication that no alliance is possible, and that be intends to get his way m spite of both parties, not by throwing m his lot with either. In his forecast of the situation he may be right, or his action may simply have the effect of throwing together Liberals and Conservatives for the time being for the purpose of making common cause against a proposal to which they appear to entertain equal objections and a tone which both equally recent. Whatever may be the outcome of the complication it is evident that m tbe coming session the Irish question will assntne a phase more prominent and more exciting than at any preceding period. It is also evident, we think, that we have arrived at a crisiß m the Nationalist agitation which will either make Mr Parnell or mar him. Sib Julitjs Vooki, undoubtedly has the pen of a ready writer. And he is as goodnatured as he is ready. Yon hnve only to bint to hiuj v desire for information on any snbject from the prospects which the islands of the Arafura Sea offer as a field for life insurance, to tbe beneficial effects of heavy taxation as a means of dividing the sorrows and doubling the joys of life, and you are sure to receive at an esirly date an elaborate and interesting eaaay, which while deprecating with charming modesty the assumption that tbe writer knows anything at all on the subject, yet contains such a fund of information and confident deductions that you cannot resist tho impression that Sir Julius was first led to think of the creation at that interesting epoch when, aB the nnrses say, be began " to take notice," and that he had been giving it his moßt careful attention ever since. In any caso, the memorandum is sure to be written m a very agreeable style, and — if it has been copied out by a necretary — the recipient will read it with a great deal of pleasure. If it is h holograph document, the receirer will not be able to read it at all, unless he happens to be a telegraph operator or a newspaper compositor, since, like many other ready writers, tho Colonial Treasurer is by no means so clear m his penmanship as he is m his language; Sir Julius Vogel's latest performance m tbe essay line consists of a letter which be has addressed to the Secretary of the Aruuri Sheep Farmers' ABsooiationin ! .answer, apparently, to a request for hiß

views m wferehce to ; joining m the Australian movement for opening up markets for wool m Australia and Japan. Sir. Julius comes to tie conclusion that it would be adrisable for New Zealand to 'send a representative to co-operate witt the Australian delegate, or delegates. He -"'thinks, however, that tne~ first thing to be done is to endeavor first to open up a market for woollen yarns and woollen fabrics trusting that after these have been "pushed " and have made their way, the natives may be led into manufacturing on their own account, and thus become customers for our raw wool. Sir Julius is of opinion that a smart commercial traveller would be best fitted for the position. He remarks : " I do not think much good is to be expected from a Commissioner, if I understand that gentleman to be a sort of official, who would hardly consider it consistent with his dignity to go round like a commercial traveller and endeavor to induce various people to become purchasers, with a view of establishing a market." With these observations we perfeotly concur, although it was a surprise to find them comjng from such a quarter. Judging from the readiness which the Government have shown m the way of appointing Commissioners m the past, we imagined they must set a. very high value on their utility. As to the main recommendation which Sir Julius makes, it has to be borne m mind that English woollen manufacturers already have their representatives both m China and Japan, and although New Zealand goods are unequalled for quality, it is hopeless to think of com- | peting with the English article m point of price. Sir Julius himself says that he is informed on good authority that " the woollen fabrics which find a market m Japan are of the cheapest and slightest description." This is a line m which New Zealand manufacturers decidedly do not excel. Sir Julius further suggests that the New Zealand delegate should go by way of San Francisco to see if a market for New Zealand woollens cannot be opened up there. He admits that the high' United States duties stand m the way of this being done, but on the other hand he believes the excellence of the New Zealand fabrics will, command so much respect m Sari Francisco that it is quite possible that efforts to place them on a favorable footing might be successful. Altogether the honorable gentleman's memorandum, if it does not contain much that is new or very practical, at any rate affords food for reflection, and will attract increased attention to a subject that is of undoubted importance to the colony at large. The Cells. — Two persons were arrested for drunkenness on Saturday evening. They will be dealt with at the Court this morning. Makikihi Racks. — All persons interested m these races are requested to attend the general meeting of the Club to be held at the Makikihi Hotel on Saturday evening. • Bobouqh Council. — An ordinary meeting of tho Timaru Borough Council will be held at tho Council Chamber* at seven o'clock thii evening.

Stod Motiob.— lt is announced m our advertising columns this morning that the purebred Clydesdale entire Kanfurly, imported by Mr Alexander McWhonnie, will travel between Timaru and Waimate this season. The Maoei Tboupe. — Mr Te Ao and his troupe left for Waimate by the Express train on Saturday. They perform at various places till the Bluff is reached, whence they return to Wellington by steamer. Absault-at-Abmb. — The Naval Brigade have arranged to give an Assault-at-Arms for the ' benefit of the f uftds of the Corps at the Theatre Royal on the 26th instant. 'Ihe popularity of the Corps, and the certainty that a most enjoyable evening's amusement will be provided, should combine to make the affair a great success. Hint ?ob thb Ladies. — The 1 newest thing m ladies' hats (says a Home paper) suggests the scholarly and cloistered life. It is a college cap, very like the one the Princess of Wales wore when she received the honorary degree of Doctor of Music, except that the gold braid is replaced by a buglo trimming. The cap is effective chiefly by its novelty, but they say it must be worn with a cloak. TBuriir Pbbsbxtrbian Chubch. — Special sermons were preached at this church yesterday by the pastor, the Bey. W. Gillies. In the morning he took as tho ground of his discourse, " Christian Baptism : its Subjects ;" and m the evening, " Christian Baptism : its mode." Both questions were handled m a thorough and comprehensive manner that gave evidenc* of deep research and careful investigation, and were listened to attentively by large congregations. Accident. — A boy named Powell fell off a ladder at tho Woollen Company's buildings on Saturday morning at 6.30 and broke his right leg. He was immediately taken home, and Dr Macintyro was sent for and reduced the fracture. The boy is progressing as well as can be expected under the circumstances. Wo are informed Powell had no business on the works, and as other lads are m the habit of climbing about them, it is hoped the accident will be » warning to them. George Augustus Sala. — Our readers will bo glad to learn that arrangements have been made for this eminent writer to visit Timaru, and deliver two of his most interest ing lectures at the Theatre Royal: On Monday evening, October 19th, he will tell us about " riUßsia, what Bhe is, and what she means " ; and on Tuesday, October 20th, he will recount his reminiseonces of " Dickeni and Thackeray." Further particulars will he found m our advertising columns. Woollen Factory. — The contractor for the TfmßrH Woollen Factory Company 1 ! Buildings i* making capital progress with his work. The bricklayers work is now complete with the exception of gables and chimney, and all the roof principals are m position. The roof will be put on m the course of a few days, and m a week or two everything will be m readiness for the machinery. The machinery is on board the barque Lochnivgar, now daily expected from London. It is satisfactory to learn Mint the Company «nticipate the works will be m full operation before tho olose of the year. Anniversary Sbbvicbs.— Tho annivorsarv services of the Primitivo Methodist Church were held m the church, Barnard street, yesterday. Tho Rev. Mr Brown preachod at the morning service, taking for the subject of his sermon "Paul at Athens" (17th chapter Acts of Apostles, lfi-18 verses). In the evening the Rev. Mr Foster occupied tho pulpit, and took for his text 14th verso of the 3rd chapter St. John — " Moses lifted up tho serpent m the wilderness." Both services were well attended, and the reverend gentlemen gave very impressive discourses. Tho ohoir sang several anthems very sweotly, and m such a manner as to show careful practice. Wo remind members of tho Church and their many friends that the annual soiree takes place to-morrow evening. Nabeow Hbcapb. — An employee of the Railwiy Department had a narrow escape on Saturday afternoon. While engaged on tho Breakwater wharf the heel of his right foot got jammed between the points, and before ho could get clear a passing truck came along, ths wheels of which tore tho sinews of the afiklo and othorwiso bruised it very sovoroly. It was at first supposed tbo bono was injured, hut Dr Mneintvrc, on examination, found •snch was not the case. It is a wonder tho Wan was not severely injured, and thoro is little doubt ho would hovo been had his loft foot instead of his right caught.

New Zealand TJkivbbsitt.— Particulars as to the matriculation and junior scholarships and preliminary medical examinations, to be held on the 14th December, will be found m our advertising columns this momiDg. Pbbsonal.— Mr John (Joodall, M.1.0.E., Engineer to the Timaru Harbor Board, after a few days' stay, left for Napier again on Saturday. We are glad to learn that the works there are progressing as satisfactorily as those m Timaru have always done. Colonial Mabbiaqes m England. — The many friends of the Hon. Mr Oliver m New Zealand will rejoice to learn (says the London correspondent of the Otago Daily Times) that he has entered again info the blessed < estate, the fortunate lady whom ho has selected to be the partner of his joys and sorrows being the sister of Mr Courtney, the well-known member of Parliament ; the marriage haying been celebrated on Wednesday week at St. Mary's, Penzanee. Another marriage of social interest iv New Zealand is that of the third daughter of the Hon. John Martin, M.L.C., of Wellington, to Mr John Gen-mel Cameron, which toot place also last week at St. Matthias', at Richmond. Resident Magistrate's Court, Timabc. — H. J, LeCren and.J. H. Suiter, Esg..s, J.P.s, presided at this Court on Saturday, when Thomas Collins was charged with unlawfully keeping his shop open to viaw on Sunday, Sept. 27th, for the purpose of trading, such not being a . matter of necessity nor authorised under the sixteenth Clause of the Police Offences Act, 18S4. Mr Hamersley appeared for the defendant. Defendant admitted the offence, and also that he had at the time alleged sold 3s worth of tobacco to a man. He explained that his stock having been damaged by fire at the time of the recent fire he had found it necessary to keep open his doors to dry the goods, and he did not refuse to sell becauso owing to depreciation m values ho was at a very serious loss; P. W. Button, called by Mr Hamerslejr as an expert, said that although his religious scruples would not allow him to sell on Sundays, he considered that every day stock remained wet it sustained damage to the extent of 50 per cent. The Bench considered the offence proved, but taking the circumstances into consideration they fined defendant 6s and costs 14s. : Pbbestbiaxish. — Quite a large number of sporting men and others assembled at Messrs Maclean and Stewart's Bazaar on Saturday evening, it having been announced that Joe Scott, the champion walker of New Zealand, would give an exhibition of his great walking powers. Much -interest was manifested by all, as Scott was to attempt the feat of walking fourteen miles within two hours, and it was also understood that two or three, of our local men would try conclusions with him for the purpose of judging of what they could do, and also to study Scott's style of walking and see what " wrinkles" they could pick up. A handicap walking match of one mile was to have taken place before Scott started his walk, but unfortunately it fell through, not sufficient entries having been received. , A very fair course of eighty-eight yards, or twenty laps to the mile, had been laid off down the parade ground. The sides and top corner were of Bmooth, liard clay, while the lower end was of tan. Punctually at half-past eight, Scott appeared on the track, and went off at a good, steady pace, covering the first mile m a fraction over eight minutes. At the finish of the last lap of the second mile, O'Connor jumped on to the course, and followed steadily on Scott's heels, and when four miles sixteen laps had been covered Clarke-started, and kept Scott and O'Connor company will the fifth lap of the sixth mile, when he retired. The pace during the first five mites was very even, being a little over eight minutes to the mile ; but m the sixth and seventh miles Scott had slackened down to about nine minutes, at which pace he kept till finishing the tenth mile, when Be freshened np again. O'Connor stopped m the middle of the eighth hip of the eighth mile till Scott had gone half a lap, when he spurted and came up with Scott m the middle of the next lap. O'Connor then walked behind him till completing the ninth mile, when he retired, having then walked seven miles. On entering the tenth mile Clarke bad another spurt, but after walking half a mile gave it best. From thence to the finish Scott had the track pretty well to himself, Clarke only appearing for a few minutes m the thirteenth mile. The eleventh mile was . walked m seven and a half minutes. When time was called Scott had gone 13 miles 1144 yards, but he continued walking, completing the 14 miles m 2 hours 3 minutes. The official time* for the first seven miles was 1 hour 2 minutes. There is no doubt Scott could have done the distance m the time but for the sharp corners at the two ends of the track. Scott walked throughout with wonderful ease, and at the finish seemed to be almost quite ai fresh as when he started. He has a very pretty style of walking, and gets over the ground with a long easy striae. His style was moit favorably commented on by all. We must not forget to mention that the Timaru Garrison Band were m attendance during the evening, and played a number of selections m their usual finished style. T.A.P.A. — A committee meeting of the Timaru Agricultural and Pastoral Association was beH at their offices, Messrs Maclean and Stewart's buildings, on Saturday afternoon! Mr McLaren (President of the Association) occupied the chair, and there was a very Urge attendance of members. . The minutes having been confirmed the Ground Committee reported that very little required to be done to the Show Grounds. They had invited tenders for the work, which were as follows r — Mr B. McKnight, £8 7s 6d ; Mr J. Nswton, £18. Mr McKnight's tender was incepted. Mr John Rutherford notified that ho would give a special prize of £5 6s for the horse that proved the best jumper over two flights of hurdles 3ft 6in high, for hones that have never . been hunted or raced. Mr Kutherford wai thanked for his prize, and the fixing of the jumps was left to the Ground Committee. Mr John Imlah, of Fftirlio Creek, wrote offering t» special prUe of £2 for the best shod draught entire on the ground, the prize to bo given to the shoer of the horse. The offer was accepted with thanks, the judges of horsrf to award it, and should it be necessary they be allowed to call m the services of a blacksmith. After some discussion it was decided to ad« vertißO the Show m the Christchurch papers, as generally many entries were received from that part of Canterbury. Class Steward* were then appointed, after which the Chairman said it had occurred to him that it would be a good tiling to make some arrangement with the Railway Department to run excursion trains from Christchurch, Ashburton and Oamaru on the Show day. Ho had, therefore, waited on tho Station Master (Mr J. Jones) and talked over the matter. As the reanlt of this interview the Secretary (Mr Stubbs) hud written to the Department, but had received * reply that tho Department did not see their way clear to run excursion trains on tho Show day. Tho Chairman, however, suggosted that a farther application should be made. The imggestion was adopted. Mr Hook, Storcroft, and Mr C Miles of Timaru were then elected members of the Association. Mr R. Stewart sent m his resignation as Hon. Treasurer to the Association, and the Secretary was instructed to see one or two gentlemen about tho office. Messrs J. Ballantyne an<i A. Grant were made life members. The firstnnmed gontloman forwarded £3 3s to be awarded as a special prize as the Committee saw fit Accounts amounting to £t6 IBs were passed for payment and the meeting terminated. Tradb with South America. — Tho Wellington correspondent of the Christchurch Press telegraphs to that journal :- As a good denl of interest i. being taken just now on the question of .opening up a trade between Now* Zealand and South America, I Bend the following extract from a private letter which has been placed at mf disposal. It » vrrilten from Buenos Avros by a gentleman who went for the express purpose of seeing what could be done m that direction, and is dated June 17th last : — ' I was much disappointed with Rio de Janeiro. The business men were complaining very much of bad times and high prices of exchange, and felt much the depression m the value of their currency. Messrs Wilson and Sons, the London agents for tho New Zealand Bteam Bliipping Company, and the Loan and Mercantile, woro very obliging, and gavo me much information relative to the mode of doing business - m Bio de Janeiro, x the port charges, right* of property, &c., 4c, aud I had many conversation* with

others engaged m business, but came to the qoaolusion that there, was very little to be done m Kew. Zealand produce.j As to frozen ..Bi«t, this (Bwiil) is a country 6f concessions, and some four years ago a Brazilian obtained it for freezing chambers, but it found no customers, and so it lies unused, and no one else c«u» compete without his consent, which ii valued at £4000. Flour must be packed m barrels to suit this market, otherwiso it doe« Dot keep, and the market is very uncertain ; but Christchuroh firms know from experience more than % can tell them about this. The consumption, of meat m Rio is' very srnnll compared with the population, and I very much doubt if they (New Zealand Shipping: Company) could get rid of > cargo oi frozen meat during- a month c stay of their Vessel m port. But they copldflll upwith coffee for London, and f houlfi . they consent to come oiVi Buenos Ayres, they would psobably make £10 per bead on Lincoln rams and £>0 on bulls, but they must be really first-rate stock. The clean-legged merino sheep will not go down here; they prefer the Trench ramboulet, a sort of halfbred Southdown that cannot live out of a stall. The pampas here m the province of Buenos Ayres are much like the Canterbury Plains, and I consider the best sheep country, when it is comparatively high, that I have ever seen j but from neglect and ill-judgment .m breeding, scab rules all and foot -rot is the law. The increase is about 16 per cent;, so that it does. not pay to give £1 an acre for such land as m New Zealand would hring £10; but this will be altered as fencing is put up and men manage their 'flocks better. It will then be the grandest sheep country m the world, hut a man must purchase fight out ■ here. There is no long terms of leases, as m Australia, and small farming will not pay here. No Englishman can compete with the Bascos and Pirns. from the borders of France and Spain. They can live on almost as little as a Chinaman, But given £10,000, and a man ought to make £50,000 m twelve years, I do not think a. man ought to come here under £6000. The first expenses are great. There is no; timber to build with; even posts for fencing are brought from a great distance, and everything but meat is very expensive. The gold is 30.30 premium. Of eourso a man is no use until he speaks and writes Spanish, and a business man m town French and Grerman as well." The American Exhibition. — Tho Amerieah Kxhibition, which ia to bo the iXondon " draw " next year promises to bo a great success. The site is already engaged, and occupies about twenty acres near the West Brompton Station. The exhibits will have for their aim the " showing to the Old World what the resources, producU, manufactures, and arts of the United States are at the present time." Perhaps one of the most interesting parts of the Exhibition will be the " American Garden," m which will be seen a4 complete a flora of the United States as can he collected. The trees, shrubs and plants are to be arranged according to latitude and longitude. In this way the students may study local diversities m systematic progression, and many flowers and flowering shrubs will appear for the .first time away from their native habitat. A Nbw Usb fob, ET/CAiYPTtra.— People complain that the Ameticans invent everything, and there is some truth m the assertion, though not so much as ii generally supposed. But the Americans are so very lucky. Here is a piece of sheer luck mentioned by an English paper. The owner of a stall at the Inventories, a Mr Downie, discovered by the purest accident that the juice of eucalyptus leaves removed the hardest boiler-sca'e without m any way injuring the metal. There was no, invention about it. It waa an accidental : discovery, and nothing more. He was able, nevertheless, to patent it as ah -° invention," and now he is m a fair way of making au immense fortune out of it, partly m this country and partly m America. As boiler-scale causes the loss of millions annually to employers of steam power, the money value of the happy little accident may be imagined. Tbe Gbisk MoifASTßßiffs js JSabtbrs Br/SOPB. — The Journal da Dabatt states that the Greek monasteries, m addition to their vast properties m Greece, Bulgaria, and Macedonia, possess considerable property m Bessarabia and the Caucasus, at Moscow, and m other parts of Bussia. In Bessarabia alone they own 147 villages and 264,320 acres of woods and vineyards, the income derived from them bripg upwards of £100.000 a year. This property is chiefly derived from grants of land made by the Hospodars of the Danubian Principalities, these lands having since much increased m value. The monks of Mount Athoa have less property m Russian Bessarabia than any of tbe others, but this constitute! bat a small fraction of tho wealth of this monastery, which possesses, m addition to several houses and lands m the Caucasus, Urge properties ia Turkey, Macedonia, and Bulgaria, which bring them m more than £40,000 a year. The number of monks on the register is 180, but there not m reality more than 60. As Ibbbtbbbht Dbscbittion. — A friend who was present m the House of Lords daring the prorogation ceremony lost week sends a highly-amusing description of the proceedings to the editor of the Lidy't Pictorial, who, m remarking upon it, says— "At my correspondent deals rather irreverently with our Chamber of Hereditary Wisdom, I will forbear to quote her letter, and will content myself with giving at secondhand her account of the appearance presented by the five peers who acted as Lords Commissioners on the occasion. They were disguised m long scarlet cloaks and cocked hats tilted over their faces, and bore an irresistible resemblance to the truculent banditti of the operatic stage. The mechanical precision with which they all raised their hats from time to timo wa« dreadfully suggestive of the wooden unanimity of weif-driUed supers when; called upon to ' swear,' but the funnieet figure of all was that of the Lord High Chancellor, who wore hU official wig beneath his cocked hat, and who looked more like Mr Toole than ever, presenting an aspect of comicality that miint have been envied by that popular comedian. The entire ceremony was amusing m tbe extreme, and if . the general public had been admitted, they would certainly have insisted on itr repetition every afternoon till further notice." Tbb Mommt Pots. — Of tlie co»rse Egyptian red brick pottery -pent also made the poU which held the embalmed and sacred ibis at Memphis. The bird was duly prepared and_ then neatly wrapped up m linen bandages io the shape of a large tongue or heart. In the plains of Saqqara and Memphis tbe ibis-mummies are found placed m conical PoUj of the shape of an inverted sugar-loaf. Their material is generally tbe coarse brick pottery -, sometimes, however, it is of glazed ware, and a few pots of some have been found. Their walls are abont tho thickness °.fj ' L bod^ ho » been tn >™d on the potter's wheel, and the exterior is ribbed with broad grooves, made with the potter's fingers. The cover is convex like an inverted sancer, and is cemented to the body by a coating of lime ana plaster Thus protected, the ibis was deposited, enwrapped m linen, m one of the mummypits, m which tho pots were plnc«d vertically the pointed end being thrust into the ground with the mouth upwards. Tho pits are subterraneous galleries, with niches 8 fett high and 10 feet wide, m which the pots were placed like jars m a cellar. At Thebes this bird, when mummied, was deposited m its envelopes alone ; but at at Hermopolis it was pUced m oblong case* of wood or stone. The Outlet or the Gbiat Saw Lakb. — American papers describe an occurrence which promises to lead to the discovery of the mysterious outlet by. which the waters of the Great Salt Lake are drawn off. A farmer and his son, while following the tracks of some stray cattle, arrived within a few miles of the moet southern part of the lake. Suddenly the father saw his son, who was riding m advance, throw up hit arms and with his horse, disappear, to the accompaniment of a deep rumbling sound which seemed to come from the centre of the earth. He had fallen into a surldeoly formed circular aperture about 80 feet m width, and, as was afterward found, over 60 feet deep. By means of his lariat rope ami reins the father succeeded m rescuing his sod, who, having fallen on his horse, escaped with % fow bruises. Tbe young man described

the cavern into which he had. descended ai , being about 76 feet m length. "He hac fallen on the west side of * shelf of rocks just below which a foaming stream of watei was rushing madly past. This' stream *? , peared, as near as he could tell m the dm , light, to be about 60 fett m width. Ihe spraj i that was constantly being dashed over th< t rocks on which he had fallen had left » heavj , deposit of salt, from which it was evident the stream came from the Grreat Salt Lake. Thi 1 cavern narrowed down at either end, juel , leaving room from the channel of the stream [ Young Whitford's escape was no less marvel ■ lous than was the wonderful ■ discovery hi made. This underground stream was Sowinj m a south-western direction, directly fron the lake, and if it is not an outlet, what is it' The place where this occurred is about twenty five miles from the city."' : Scott's Emulsion o* Ppbb Cod I/Itbi Oil amd Hypophosphi'BS w recommendec by the medical profession m the variou countries of the world for its remarkabl curative, healing and strengthening pro perties.
