As Others See Us. —A recent issue of the General Practitioner, a medical i journal published in Melbourne, contains an interesting article answering ; questions on national medical insurance. “ How does Hie Commonwealth scheme compare with the scheme pro- I posed in New Zealand? ” is one of the questions asked. This is the reply: “The Commonwealth scheme is based i on actuarial calculations, is limited to • those who contribute, and its present ; and future benefits, though verv wide, j will be paid f.-r on an actuarial basis. | The New Zealand scheme is based on the soap-box. is universal in application. millennial in its promises, and will be paid for by the gold at the foot of .' Hie rainbow. It has one defect, in that it docs not promise free beer.” Woods' Great Peppermint Gurr For Coughs and Colds, never fails.
