revelation of facts. Modern science has discovered that the best inedicinal cod liver oil, in its analysis, may be separated into two distinct parts-one the clarified oil; the other, a mass of certain semi-solid sub- stances, known as extractives. The oil is not musterially different from other fixed oils and has little or no medicinal value. On the other hand, the extractives are peculiarly active, and the conclusion cannot be avoided that to the presence of these. active principles cod liver oil owes its re- putation as a remedy. No other oil has such a reputation. No other oil has such constituents. The extractives hold the same relation to cod liver oil that quinine sustains. to crude cinchona bark. They are the curative essence of cod liver oil. When taken as they may be freed from the vile, unnecessary oil, their curative value is greatly increased, for they are not hamper- ed by the presence of the noxious fat. Upon this scientific fact.

WHAT IS PAIN BALM 7 (HAMBERLAIN'S Pain Balm is a liniment and, whilo adapted to all the ordinary uses of a liniment, has qualities | Nos. which distinguish it from other remedies of this class. Pain Balm is especially benefi- cial for rheumatism. Thousands of cases can be cited in which it has effected a cure when the sufferer had previously tried tho best medical service without securing relief, Pain Balm is positively guaranteed to give relief in the most severe cases of chronic or scute rheumatism.
Pain Balm hoals bruises, burns and scalds In less time than any other treatment. It is antiseptic' that is, it provents putrefac- tion and by so doing, generally provents an unsightly scar remaining after the injury is healed. For lame back, lumbago and neu ralgia, Pain Balm has no equal. It has the quality of getting to the right spot. No sufferer from these distressing affections should defer a trial of this remedy. One application gives relief. Try it. For sale by All Dealers; WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.-

Mr. Looker, rising, objected to the line of examination on the ground of its irrelevancy. The matter of the houses that had collapsed was what they were dealing with, and it was entirely irrelevant on the part of Mr Dennys to ask questions
with regard to other houses.
Mr Dennys-I shall have a great many questions to ask with reference to the other houses in these blocks.
Witness And I can refuse to answer.
Mr Dennys-Yes, and the jury can draw
their own conclusions.
His Worship overruled the objection.
The examination was accordingly resumed at the point of interruption, and witness said he was aware that cracks had developed in the wall which had been rebuilding. The south wall at the end of the block of houses on Lot 1107 was being pulled down by witness's orders, because it showed signs of weakness after the typhoon of 2nd August. These signs of weakness were cracks, and similar indications of instability were apparent in other walls. The houses, however, were not yet out of the con. tractor's hands, and were unoccupied.
This caused Mr Looker again to object to Mr Donnys's questions; what was the use of conducting investigations in regard to houses that were not occupied ?
Mr Dennys said the enquiry was the enquiry of His Worship in his capacity of coroner, and as His Worship's mouth-piece he had every right to ask these questions.
His Worship-Yes, that is so. I think the questions are quite relevant.
