At the annual meeting of the Association Major Sommerville announced, and it was received with regret, that after the nest meeting he intended to sever his connection with the Association, owing to the pressure of private business. He said he had taken charge of the Association in Wanganui in 1886, and would resign after the meeting there next year. In referring to the position of the Association, the Major said that a much more definite guarantee should be given thorn by the Government, instead of leaving members of the council to become responsible for what was really a colonial affair.

J. W. Baggett, of Oak Grove, Fla., had an attack of the measles, nearly three years ago, and the disease left him with very severe pains in the cheat. "I thought I would die," he writes ; " but to my great joy, I was "saved by Chamberlain's Pain Balm." Pains in the chest nearly always indicate the approach of pneumonia, aDdby promptly applying this liniment on a flannel cloth, which should be bound on the chest, an attack of pneumonia may be prevented. It is always prompt and effectual. For sale by R. M, Gatenby, Chemist.
