Blushing And Hereditary Disease^ , ♦ At Vienna a ecientut and doctor who haa made an especial study of blushing declares that it is a disease of the nerves. He declares that blushing should be treated like any other nervous disease, and1 that in j many instances it is hereditary. One of his patients, a man, told! the doctor that the fear of blushing, kept alive by the jocular taunts of his> friends, had caused him such depression of spirits tnat he had several tames been on the verge of suicide. Another patient, a society woman, suffered seriously from nervous prostration in consequence of the teasing of her friends, who made her blush just "for the fun of it." A colleague told the doctor of one of his patients who was driven mad by blushing. Her mental condition was greatly improved by her transfer from a chamber papered in red and fusnished in mahagony, to a green room with oak furniture. This woman is again in society, but is subject to occasional attacks of blushing that affect her mentally at the sight of red dresses, red ribbons, or anything in red. He had discovered that those addicted to blushing suffer less in summer than in the cold rnontrs, and the summer is the best time of the year in which to be treated for the nanoying disease. The doctor saya that strong men do not blush except under extraordinary circumstances ; that blushing is truly a mark of effeminacy. Blushing men are seldom cured, for they are of ten sufferers from heart disease. "I have known blushing fits, so called," said he, "to last for hours, accompanied by irregular pulse and excited heart. To blushing men and women with families I say—lf you have a boy or pirl who Mushes under a reproach, or for fear of being found out, do not tell them of it, for if you do you will arouse in tLem apprehensions. If the child has any steadiness of mind, you you will completely unsettle him. There will undermine it; if he has no stamina, are foolish people who think their children are innocent so long as they can blush. What nonsense!'"

PLENTY OF IT. LOTS MORE PROOF LIKE I^lß, AND IT'S ALL FROM WANGANUI PEOPLE. "The proof of the pudding i» in the eating of it." If any city or town in the col- \ ony has sufficient proof on the following subject it is Wanganui. Genuine merit is finding its reward in the hearty endorsation of local citizens. When people right here at home, friends and neighbours of our citizens make a statement like the following for publication, it ia proof conI vincing for the most sceptical. Read this testimony:— Mm J. James, Mathieaon Street, in this city, says:—"Kidney trouble has caused me a good deal of pain. The agony in i tine small of my back was so bad that every time I bent down I could scarcely rise again, and I'd have to put both, hands to my back to eaoe myself up. Then I would get a rush of blood to the head, Which would make me so <?iddy that I would nearly fall I also used to have violent headaches. My trouble compelled me to lay up a good deal. I was always ran down in health and. lacked energy. Two months or more ago I got a box of Doan'a Backache Kidney Pills at William* Ma's Pharmacy, and I started to use them. They made me feel very much worse at iret, and I was going to give up taking them., only mother said it was a good. aim. I am glad that I continued taking i them, am I am now free of the kidney trouble altogether. Not one of those symptoms I've told you about remains now, and I feel in ihm best of health and fall of ©n«rgy." They are for sale at Williamson's Pharmacy, and by all chemists and storekeepers, at 3a per box (six boxes 16s 6d), Pitt Street, Sydney. But be sure they are Doom's. The Royal Commissioners who reported an the Port of London were roughly handled by Mr 0. T. Cater Scott, chairman of the London and India Docks Company, who gave the docks defence at an ordinary general meeting held yesterday. READ WHAT J J VrTADATIO ■' IS DOING. HYDATIDS IN THE LUNGS. DRIVEN OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND CURED BY VITADATIO, Frank Street, Off Munro Street, Coburg. 27th March, 1901. To Mr S. A. PALMER, Dear Sir, — For the benefit of suffering humanity I make this statement. Five years ago I was very ill and was reduced to a shadow, the doctor who was treating me said I was suffering from Consumption and he couki not cure me. In the beginning of the year 1898 Mr Thompson, who was for many years overseer in the Printing Department of Pentridge, who had to give up that position on account of suffering from Consumption, and who had derived great benefit from VITADATIO, advised me to call at your Institute, 47 Bourke Street, and coniult you. I did so, and you advised me to- give Vitadatio a trial, as it was a sure cure for me. I .commenced with the medicine, and in a thort time my diseise began to pass away from my system. I persevered with Vitadatio for some time, gradually getting stronger, and eventually I became quite well and gained (1£) one* and a half stone in weight. It is now three years since I ltft off taking Vitadatio, and it is a proof that the disease has completely left the system, as I have not had any return of the j old trouble. I shall be pleased to give any further information about my case to anyone calling at my address.—l remain, Yours faithfully, ELIZABETH J. WILLIAMS. For further particulars, 9. A. PALMER.
