“Financial Fallacies" is the title of the lecture to be given in the W.E.A. Room to-night, by Mr G. S. Cray. At the conclusion the speaker will answer questions. The public are invited to attend. “I have been recently approached by Dr. Cunningham, of the Government Veterinary Laboratory, Wellington, with regard to obtaining supplies of freshwater fish for some experiments that are to be carried out by Dr MacOwan at the laboratory in connection with the vita nln content of fish oils,” wrote the chief inspector of New Zealand fisheries (Mr A. E. Hefford) to the Wellington Acclimatisation Society. “I gathered that a fairly regular supply of fresh-water fishes was desired. I think the most conveniem fish to use would be eels, kokopu (native ‘trout’), and black flounder, such as are caught at Lake Onoke. The difficulty is that these are not ordinarily commercial fishes, and I thought that supplies could possibly be obtained through your rangers." Doubts as to the purpose of the experiments, and the ultimate extent of the use of the fish for such purposes, were expressed by members, who considered that if a commercial purpose were to be served the fish were not sufficiently numerous. It was decided to ask for further details. Rheumatism is successfully treated with Rumatox. It promptly relieves the pain and loosens stiffened points—results which are due to the property It possesses of expelling uric acid from the system. No matter how long you have suffered, try a bottle, and you will obtain relief at once. We also recommend it equally as well for neuritis. Price 2/6 and 4/6 bottle. E. O.
