AND CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY.

WHAT IS INFLUENZA? ITS EFFECT, MEDICAL MEN INTERVIEWED. These questions are best answered by Foveral eminent medical men in pub- . h. bed interviews. The most important points emphasized by the doctors are these: ' Influenza is highly infectious. Influenza stimulates other diseases. Influenza has an extraordinary effect en the mental function. Ir.fxiienSs picks out the weak points in a person's constitution. The yictims of influenza are adults who perish from pneumonia or bronchitis and the aged who sink from heart exhaustion. Children while prone to the disease, enjoy comparative immunity from its , complications and dangers. Influenza shows a decided tendency to relapses, a feature to which the indirect fatality of the disease is in a great measure due. Alcoholic stimulants are not only unnecessary but positively harmful. An attack of influenza seems to render the individoal more liable to contractxthe disease from future exposure. The attack comes on with lightning like speed. A person in apparently perfect health is suddenly overcome by a feeling of discomfort. He feels chilly or shakes with the rigor worthy of an ague. His head aches. There are pains in his eyeballs and other symptoms characteristic of the disease $oon follow. Can Be Cured, 1 ■ ' ——— Commence at first symptoms to ase Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

CUR LONDON LETTER i"-PERSONAL AND GENERAL NOTES. ■;■ (From Our Own Correspondent.) LONDON, July 10. I have received another interesting letter from Miss A. M. Cabot, of Timaru. sister of the,lady who was for co many years the Lady Editor of, the Canterbury "Times," ,who is just now .in Berlin. ,"So one day," she saj's, "we joined the stream of people wending their way towards Shepherd's Bush. It is a loiig way from the Bank by -bus, but much guickerj}y the 'tube.' The main entrance is plain-a,n<l- vtnprefcntipvis. with tho French and English flaKsflying amicably together. At the opening in May, when the French President came over, our good King, Edward met him; they embraced each! other, called each other 'good fellows,' and vowed eternal friendship. Then our? who always says and docs the, right thing at the right moment; showed his visitor a few of -the. little ways in which he amuses himself, such as a State ball, Royal Opera, etc. Then they went together: and •opened the Exhibition, and each said all the nice things he possibly could about the other's country, and came backhand had more festivities. .■ At the end /of the week Monsieur went back to, France enchanted with England and;<the; English;^ i and King Edward wearily'said ,'THahk goodness!, that's over. Now what^ -comes next; ?. The-Hudson" Bay GJompany have a fine display of priceless furs at the Exhibition—there are four realistic tableaux, showing the dead animal brought iiiy. and .'. the various stages the skin goes through, until, in the last scene, it is on; the shoulders of a lady at the Opera. Australia has V handsome building to itself, and'csitainly makes. a creditable and comprehensive sh't>w. I saw some very tine opal in the rough; and the fruit is arranged .t0... the best advantage. They have taken a good lesson from the Canadians .in this respect. The walls, decorated with . every description of growing ferns, orchids, etc., and with miniature waterfalls and - fountains,— look pretty.;. and cool. The grounds, forty acres, are like fairyland when lit up at night by the thousands of coloured electric.lamps. There is a fair sized lake, witli steps, bridges, waterfalls, columns, statues and all manner of the hnndreds of jyretty things that French minds and English activity can suggest - -all done in pure white plaster. Further on is an Irish village street, with colleens walking about in their short skirts, and bright red cloaks A jaunting car will take one two hundred yards for sixpence. There is a mined castle at one end of the.street, and the house that President McKinley was born in is on view. In one cottage is shown the whole process of the world-famed linen and Jace-mnking—in another Barrilla Soap goes through its process toward perfection. It is pretty and picturesque, but one does not see there the unclean, gaunt poverty of the real village. As one wanders on, there are many things interesting and otherwise, to make time pass—bread making, sweei making, glass blowing, etc., and everywhere are restaurants and good brine music. For the frivolous minded, there are all sorts of amusements, indeed money goes faster that it is pleasani to think of." Mrs and Miss Boag, of Christchurch came via Suez, and will return aboul the end of the vear'via .America. The Rev A. F. Smith, of Northerly Auckland, is here to attend the Confer- . pneo of tho Brotherhood of St. Andrew at Oxford this month. Afterwards h( will have temporary charge pf St Phil lip's, .
