“It may not be generally known among motorists that if a car's brakes are put on suddenly, and then the accelerator is used, the car can be skidded in any direction the steering wheel is turned,” said a witness in a dangerous driving case in the Wellington Police Court. He stated that he adopted this method of avoiding running over a woman who was knocked down by his car; it was a valuable precautionary measure in such emergencies. He said nothing about the risk of a capsize.

CONSTIPATION. Laxlgen is a tonic laxative, and gentle aperient. It is particularly valuable, because it can be taken every night if necessary, as it cannot possibly do any harm, because it contains no drugs. It restores the bowels to healthy, normal action, and is the best remedy known for habitual constipation. It has also a gentle stimulating action on the liver. Recourse may be had to this medicine, when the bowels or liver are deranged, as evidenced by giddiness, headache, drowsiness, furred tongue and impure breath. It is pleasant to take and does not upset the system. Price 2/6 bottle. E. C. Ayres, Ltd., Chemists, Timaru.
