IRON EATEN BY AIR.

HOW CLIMATE AFFECTS DRUGS

(Experiments by Professor Remsen.)

Professor Remsen is known as one ul I he highest authorities on .chemistry. In an interesting lecture he refers to the great effect air has upon metals and drugs. When iron, as Professor Remsen reminds us is exposed to the air it becomes coated with a reddish substance called rust, and in time the iron completely disappears through the action of the air—and so it is not hard to understand how easily "deiickte drugs will be affected. The Professor made this clear by interesting, experiments. He showed that Phosphorous must be kept under water because it burns as soon as it touches the air—while Potassium and Sodium must be kept in oil,' because they blaze up as soon as they touch water. Air and moisture, therefore, ruin many drugs unless special care is taken. Professor Remsen of Baltimore and Dr. Williams of Edinburgh University both understand thoroughly how drugs put up in one form for oertain climates are useless in another climate. For this reason the Doctor has taken care that the European, American, South African, and Australian formulas for Dr. Williams' pink pills are specially adapted to the different climates. It was found necessary also to have a special formula for i\ ew Zealand, so that our peculiar climate would not destroy in these pills the wonderful power of the drugs to make new, red blood. These pills for N.Z. are now manufactured in Wellington—and all patients should see that the words, Wellington, New Zealand, are on every package. These genuine N.Z. pills are always put up in wooden boxes—never in glass bottlesi. Pills made for a foreign country have never brought about such truly miraculous curee all over Maoril'and. But the pills made from the New Zealand formula have cured thousands here, including Mrs C. Hunt, of Clark St., Waihi. Six years ago cold started in her the sharp, sudden pains of rheumatism. Her muscles were so draAvn anc" stiff that she .couldn't move. After three years' torture, she heard of many in Auckland, Thames, Waihi, and Hamilton whom Dr. Williams' pink pills had cured, so Mrp Hunt tried them. She was carefull to see that the words Wellington, New Zealand, were on the wrapper of each box. After using two boxes the pains lessened and the muscles became pliable. Six boxes made a perfect cure. And so she has the best of reasona for recommending them to those who suffer from rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, neuralgia, and other diseases of the blood and nerves. Mrs Hunt is a native of Auckland, and settled in Waihi six years ago.

Professor Remsen, in pointing out how ai* and moisture ruin substances like Potassium and Phosphorus and even hard metals like steel, enables everyone to understand how easily a climate like that of New Zealand will affect ordinary medicines. You are not getting an ordinary medicine, however, when you buy the frenuine Dr. Williams' pJrk pills, made in Wellington from a special formula suited to these Isllands If you insist on getting the kind put up in wooden boxes, with the genuine address, Wellington, New Zealand, you know-that you have the greatest blood-builder and nerve-tonic in the world. It is by filling the veins with new, rich, red blood that these pills cur© paleness, headaches, anaemia, debility, indigestion, liver and kidney troubles, women's -ailmeijts, and all complaints of the skin and complexion. When in doubt about the genuine kind, send to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Wellington, enclosing three shillings for one box, or sixteen and six for six boxes. Professor Remsen and other eminent Scientists show clearly that a special formula is necessary to combat the effects cf the New Zealand climate.
