As regards work done entirely outside the contract with which the architect had nothing to do at all, plaintiff was claiming for cer tain extra work. Defendant agreed that certain extra work was to be done which meant that onus again lay on plaintiff to show the contract price. It was contended that no contracta were entered into

for work at a price set out by plain tiff in his particulars. There was a dispute of $85 on the certified price.

His Lardship: Is it agreed that the architect did in fact give plaintiff a certificate for the whole amount!

Mr. Mossop:-I submit that in his certificate of September 12, 1832, the architect showed that 885 was to be deducted for bag materials and delay in completion. A final certificate was given for 8200 after the issue of the writ which still showed the deduction of 885.

To be Satisfactorily Completed,

Mr. Moop stated that there was. a difference in price of $53 for extra work. Plaintiff had been naked to complete the work satis 'factorily and had agreed to do so, The sum of 8118.85 had been paid into Court and sa soon as work was

A British Offer. Counsel stated that an eminent engineer, Mr Little, had estimated the cost of repair at under £800,000 sterling, and that a Liverpool firm of shipbuilders had offered to un- dertake the work for slightly less than his estimate. If tenders were invited from othe shipyards it was certain that this figure could be still further reduced.

Complaints

thật show that: Kalzana is needed right away

In Women

Discomfort and pain can usually be combated in a short time by Kalzana tablets, for Kalzana regulates the system and releves the pain.

As a doctor wrote in the "South African Medical Record": "Whenever there is disfunction in the body, lack of calcium is probably a contributing factor." By taking Kalzana the Calcium balance is restored and the functions are regulated again. Because Kalzana is a calcium food and does not contain any harmful ingredients it must do good and cannot possibly be harmful."

In Skin 2 Troubles

Lack of calcium leads to Itashes,Eczema, Nettle-rash, and other forms of Skin, Trouble. Here Kalzana has been proven of the greatest value.

In the case of Nettle-rash a few large doses (6-8 tablets each time) will conquer the rash very quickly indeed and stop the itching. In the case of Eczema, it will take a little longer, for the calcium must have time to strengthen the walls of the blood-vessels and the cells of the akin.

Gradually the Eczema will disa and the itching will stop..
