CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY. HOW IT ACTS. ■ Chamberlain's Cough Remedy assists nature. Being purely vegetable, free ' from all narcotics, it. fulfils the require--1 ments of a perfect cough remedy. It is soothing and healing. It not only checks the cough; pri cold, but assists 1 nature in throwing fromc the system the cause of .same, and helps bring 1 about a condition that.renders a second 1 attack less dangerous. It tones up the mucous membrane, enabling it ■to 1 withstand exposure. I ts.. power to ; control, congestion and inflammation 1 puts it in a different list from all other cough medicines.Cough Remedy loosens the cough; relieves the lungs/and makes expectoration easy. „ A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER S 'i eXpeißencje: Mr. GEO. JP. TIDEMAN, the " Hustling Traveller " for Messrs. - Burns, Philp & Co., Townsville, Queensland, writes: "Just a line to tell you how grateful I.feel for the relief. J obtained while travelling up^Ndfth; - Some time a.go I had a very >severe bold, caught whilst sleeping on the A.U.S.N. Co.'s mail steamer. When: II arrived at Geraldton I felt verycmea;ni-/My throat was very bad, and I could hardly speak. Knowing the benefit other people had received whilst using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, I obtained a bottle from the leading storekeeper there, and took it according to directions. The first dose gave me relief, and before I.left the town my cough was quite cured. 1, r/ust say it did me a lot of good, and I am now never without a bottle, also keep some in my home for future use." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy may not be needed to-day, but what about ' tomorrow? Colds come into every home, so be prepared. /-•.•-'

WANGANUI LAW STUDENT'S SOCIETY. «^ .— . Mr Tread well's case came before the students on Thursday, the 20th inst. Mr T. Lloyd acted as* Judge, Mr B. H. AYyman, with Mr A. Barton appearing tor the ; plaintiff, (the Official Assignee), and Mr W. Cunningham with Mr E. Beayin for the defendant. White is indebted to Green in the Bumof £100. Green pressing for payment, White in consideration of a further advance of £50, executes a security over his furniture and effects and sheep and cattle to secure full amount. He also mortgages certain shares. This 'is completed onthe Ist April, 1908, but there is no- reference in the chattel security to the mortgage of shares. In the affidavit of chattel security., ithere are certain alterations which have not been initialled, and some of the stock •pecified do not bear ear mark or brand as set out in the document. White is indebted to other creditors at this time, and one creditor, Black, on a judgment obtained on Ist May, 1908, issued execution and the bailiff seized the furniture and effects and sheep and cattle. On the sth May, 1908, White files hia petition in bankruptcy, and the Official Assignee claims the whole of the chattels and stock comprised in the security, and he starts an action against Green and Black in the Supreme Court to have the security and Black in the Supreme Court to have the security and seizure set aside. •■': After brifly setting out the facts; Mr Wyma'n, submit^ ted seven, points for consideration. Of these he confined his attention to the question of the.£loo past debt; contended that the security1* in respect to it was null and void; because it was not a contemporaneous advance, and the grantor had been adjudicated within 4 months of the filing of the instrument. He .claimed to have the £50 further advance set aside as void also, in as much fchat the transfer was a fraudulent one, or that there had been, a fraudulent ! preference.'- Mr A. Barton, followed bis leader, and dealt with the questions of registration, and, the branding of the stock, Teplying on the statute in the first case, 'and in re Fairbrothef on?the second point. .He.also submitted that the affidavit. could not be "read owing to the uninitialls alterations. The leader for the defendant, Mr Cunning* ham, then opened, supporting his contention that the question of the shares was not a defeasance by the case.Official Assignee, arid .Wilson v. -Bank of Australasia. This authority, was clears on ihe'pqint, .and he. submitted •ti;at the further advance of £50 ridt be set aside. lie also cited \jarpenter v. Dean (Eng.)' following rron -the previous case. As far as the alterations :in the affidavit were concerned, .Mr Cunningham endeavoured to, show that this was a common law affidavit, and not one in the Supreme.Oourt. The second counsel for u tho defence, Mr E. Beavin, confined his attention /to points relating to the fraudulent preference, and the fraudulent transfer, and quoting numerous authorities, he showed clearly that there was not euffi.ient evidence in the case now before the j Court to warrant such an interpretation. Mr Brown, Mr Hogg, and Mr j Tustin spoke on the question and tried to obtain a verdict for the defendant while, Messrs Blennerhassett and McI Carthy supported the opposite side. Mi Wyman, and Mr Cunningham then gave their replies, and the* former counsel further strengthened his case bj | in re Marsh, which lays down the general rule that a bill soi sale over all debtor's chattels to secure pre-existing debt is void as against the Official Assignee in bankruptcy. The defendant's counsel followed on the lines of his opening somewhat, and also contended that the description of the stock might I reasonably. be supposed to have been otherwise than by brand. The sum ming up by Mr Lloyd was very lucidlj given. He hold that, judgment must go for the plaintiff—that the affidavit could not be lead.—that the bill'-of salt was void as against the Official Assignee in: bankruptcy. As to the further advance of £50 plaintiff was not entitle to recover as to that • that the mortgage of the shares was not a defeasance He also ruled that the point raised r< fraudulent -preference could not bf sustained, there being insufficient evidence before the court for such a contention; He agreed with Mr Cunningham's supposition that the stock ma 3 have been described otherwise than bj brand. The Society holds its next meeting , on Thursday evening next, when a verj
