OUR PECULIAR CLIMATE.

AND HOW IT AFFECTS OUR HEALTH.

New Zealanders (says an entertaining writer in the Wellington Z-W) boast that they havo tho finest climate in the world. Tho keenest patriot, however, must admit that its sudden changes from heat to cold, from sunshine to rain, from calm to galo, make it most peculiar. It is well-known that climate has a most potent effect upon life and character. This is clear in our case. Tho conditions hero differ so much from the conditions elsewhere that wo have to adopt different dress, different habits, different medicine, c'Tferent food, different amusements. The Wellington Post quotes an interesting example to show how different our requirements aro from those of Great Britain, Continental, Europe, American, Africa, or Australia. Tho makers of Dr. Williams' pink pills, the well-known proprietary medicine (continues the writer) found it necessary after introducing their remedy into N.Z., to manufacture from a special formula suited to tho peculiar local climatic conditions. It was proved that the formula used abroad did not act upon the bloodsupply of our peoplo so as to bring about the wonderful cures that havo made this remedy so famous tho world over. An expert in medical chemistry was sent out to study tho problem, and he discovered tho necessity of adding some very important and expensive ingredients, which make the pills eminently suited to our climatic conditions. This N.Z formula was adopted arid a manufacturing laboratory was established at Wellington, whero tho Now Zealand Dr. Williams' pink pills aro prepared. Tho testimony of tho cures from tho North and South Islands shows most satisfactory results. Of course, in tho light of these facts, it is absolutely necessary to use the genuine New Zealand pills, which aro put up in wooden boxos, and can always be recognised by the full address, Wellington, Now Zealand, printed in red capital letters on tho outside wrapper. Only tho pills made from the special New Zealand formula arc able to cure Now Zealand cases, because they alone meet tho special requirements of its peculiar climate.

Tho same writer quotes an instance that came under his personal notice. It is the case of Mr David Grant, of Waimca-street, Nelson, who says:— " The sudden changes from heat to cold made me a victim to influenza, which caused bronchial troubles. My health and strength steadily declined, until I was persuaded by an advertisement in the Nelson Mail (our local paper) to try Dr. Williams' pink pills. I got tho right sort, for the words, Wellington, New Zealand, wore on the outside wrapper. After taking two boxfuls I felt quite bright again. Three or four more made me a strong, active man. My bronchial tubes, chest and lungs have been sound over since, and my health is splendid." One would naturally think that MiGrant, who has lived in this Colony for forty years, would be quite indifferent to the sudden changes of weather. The peculiar climate, however, affects tho blood, upon which illness or health depend. Such diseases as aniemia, :n----digestion, nervousness, neuralgia, rheumatism, lumbago, and sciatica arc bound to attack a person if tho blood is not purified, strengthened and enriched at regular intervals—and it is absolutely necessary to use for this purpose a tonic modicino that is specially prepared hero to suit the New Zealand peculiar climatic conditions. Pills in small glass bottles can do no good. Spanish and American substitutes havo never cured a singlo case from Auckland to Invcrcargill. Tho genuine N.Z. Dr. Williams' pink pills, made in Wellington according to tho special N. Z. formula, and put up in wooden boxes can bo recognised easily by the full address, Wellington Now Zealand, on tho outsido wrapper. Tho.y'ro tho kind that cured David Grant, of Nelson. And the samo story is told by hundreds in Auckland, Hawkc's Bay, Wellington, Canterbury, Hokitika, Otago and, indeed, in every town,
