*"JWQjKBER¥ICE.' TUB AKIN A PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. DIAMOND JUBILEE. Tho Diamond Jubilee of Turakina Presbyterian congregation was celebrated on Sunday under unique and romantic circumstances. Sixty years ago the Rev. James Duncan conducted the first service in the house of Mr. John Cameron. A dozen years later an oak tree was planted to mark the spot. Beneath the oak tree on Sunday, in perfect weather, a vast concourse of people assembled and held a true Presbyterian Conventicle worthy of the covenanting days. Old identities were present in force, amongst them many oi tho descendants of the sturdy pioneers, and, in robust health and vigour, Mrs. Cumberland (McDonnell, who prepared and set luncheon for those who attended tho first service in 1852. Messages wero received from friends far and wide. The Rev. D. Gordon, 8.A., represented the Presbytery of Wanganui, and suitably addressed the assembly. The minister, Rev. R. McCully, 8.A., had succeeded in collecting items of past history, and the audience was thrilled as it listened to the story of the past and tho brave deeds of thenancestry. The psalms and hymns were all appropriate,. and the whole occasion a deeply impressive one. The peculiar circumstances of tho gathering will not soon be forgotten. THE INTERESTING DISCOVERY OF QUININE Quite an interesting story is attached to the discovery of the medicinal value of Quinine, obtained from the bark of the Cinchona Tree of the South Ameri* Mn Andes. In the year 1693, the Countess of Cinchon (wife of the then Viceroy of Peru) was journeying across these remote mountain ranges, and fell seriously ill. .While seeking shade and rest beneath a tree, the Countess (aft&r whom tho Cinchona tree was named) drank frequently from a pool, into which largo pieces of the tree's bark had fallen. She was agreeably surprised to find that tho water possessed very powerful medicinal properties, and that it was rapidly curing her of her sickness. Sho continued to take this strangely-found natural tonic, and was soon cured. Before leaving this spot, the Countess's party ma)de investigations, and arrived at the conclusion that tho bark of tho tree, which had been tsoaking in the pool, had given the water these peculiar curative powers. Largo quantities of the bark were thereupon gathered and conveyed to Europe »by the party, and so the medicinal fraternity of tho. civilised countries came to be acquainted with the Cinchona Bark, now so valuable throughout the woild to doctors and chemists. One of tho chief ingredients of Baxter's famous Compound-Quinine Pills is Quinine (from Cinchona Bark) as the name implies, and this fact, coupled with the other powerful ingredients, is the reason why theso pills so unfailingly cure. Tha various ingredients are scientifically compounded, and the Pills are invaluable for the treatment and cure of Indigestion, Liver Troubles, and their attendant symptoms.
