A well-known up-river settler, Mr Mich ael Condon, met with a painful accident yesterday, when he had a leg broken through - a horse rearing up and fall>ng back on him. It appears that the horse, a young one, had been taken to Abbott's blacksmith's shop to be shod, but resrntml the operation, and practically chased the three ' blacksmiths and four Maoris out of the shop, one of the latter getting out of a window. Mr Condon, who was near by, attempted to quieten the horse, which was got out of the shop on I<> the road, where it was roped by him. He then started to work to break it, trnd some three-quarters of an hour later it fell over on him, breaking Kis leg. r :he sufferer was conveyed to the Hospital, where his injuries were attended to. Mrs S. H. Walker, 230, Humffray St., B&llaiat, writes— "Have used Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for four years, and know it is excellent. Have found it most beneficial. Can recommend it to anyone -—in fact, have done so many times, and it has accomplished good results in overy case." For sale by all chemists and storekeepers.
