Comparisons are odious, but I cannot refrain from drawing a compari- on between the somewhat acrimonious debates that have taken place in this Council in past years and comparing that: with the good feeling that has always characterised the relationship between off- cials and unofficials in this Council. I may be told that this is due to the lamb- like and obliging attitude of the un- cials, but, I think, Sir, if you will recall the tonacity with which the hon. member who represents the Chamber of Commerce and Mrs Murray Stewart carried on debates in this Council that that criticism would not he justified. That good feeling, your Excellency to all classes of the com munity, more especially to members of this Council. The basis of real progress is a thorough understanding. You have always realised this, and have invited not only the members of the community but the members of this Council to come and speak freely before you and interchange their views.

Happily, an cany way exists out of the slavery, if it has, u fortunately, been acquired, as well as from the feeling of winknees.

It is too late in the day to a tempt to sing the praises of this preparation, for its reputation is world wide and, among

Indeed, it is not going too far to say that the medical pre fession throughout the civilised world now looks upon it as a means of restoring health, a dove of saving life, when everything else has failed, As a matter of fact, the number of cases in which doctors bave placed it on record that, in their unqualified opinion, Samatogen bas saved the life of their patients, may be counted in hundreds if not in thou-ands,

The reason is that the phosphorus it contains is in the same form as is found in the brain and nervous system, and it is phemically combined with the nitrogenons or body-building portion of pure milk, which experience and many experiments have proved is the best possible substance for the purpose.

The overworked man or woman will benefit from its use, provided it be taken regularly. Its advantage over the ordinary tonies, ranging from iron and quinise to arsenic and strychnine, is that its use does not derange digestion but, contrariwise, assists enfeebled appetite. It repairs the wear and tour of the most vital parts of one frames and, above all, it gires to brain and were their essential food in precisely the form in which they are capable of ready receiving and sasimilating it."

To that, Sir, and. that alone, I attribute the good feeling which has existed in this Council. You came to the Colony when its affairs were not in Adourishing condition, and you leave it at a time. when they are still in the balance, but in a condition very different to that in which you found it. It is truo that some of our trade has departed, but what trade there is rests on a very fru basis. You have during your tenure of office done everything you could to foster trade and industry. It is due to your great interest in commercial affairs that the rosition of the Colony to-day is bet- You; Sir, aro teran when you came. now going to another region of the British Empire where I feel sure you are destined to play no unimportant part in the at- tainment and development of the best that sppertains to the words British Empire.
