IMPORTANT TO LIVER SUFFERERS

!

By Dr. Quignon of the Faculty

Just now I am kept very busy by an epidemlé of "liver" disordera-a great many people feeling "out of worls." bilious, depressed and unable to enjoy their food, Undoubtedly the best remedy for an upset liver is provided by certain

famous Con- tinental Mineral Springs, but science has now mude it possible for · all liver sufferers to enjoy in thelr homes, all the benefits of Continental. Spa treatment; at tile cost. By 're- producing in crystalline form the essential principles of

world renowned Spns, including those at Vichy, Carlsbad, Aix-les-Bains and Marlenhod, 'Alkia Saitrates' provides what is probably the finest liver tonic. and corrective known. It is obtain- uble from all high class Dispensaries und Stores.

To men and women who are feel- ng iverish und "out of sorts", and to those who are suffering from theu- matiem, Lumbago, Kidney trouble and High Blood Pressure I con recommend Alkin Sultrales' with confidence and I advise them to slart the treatment without delay.

"We in New Zealand realise that the coming century will be when the Pacife will be the centre of the globe; but it is also going to be a century of peace, goodwill, friendship and understanding."

Many Visiters

Mr. Tam then, welcomed, back a local member of Rotnry, Dr. G. A. C. Kerkinits and proceeded to in- troduce the visitors. These includ- ed a number of local and overseas people: Messrs. A. Drummand Muc- ray and F. W. Bertie of London, Dr. N. Bercovitz of Haihow, Dr. M. Nicolson and Mr. V. Hugo of Hong- kong, Messrs. C. R. W. Thomson of Swalow, G. A. Pentreath, 1. Montel, Captain J. W.

The viability in many places was almost nil, while elsewhere it varied between ten to 20 yards.

Trains from Scottond and the north of England were very Jate, hundreds of thousands of workers arriving

late at factories and offices with valid excuses.

On the river Thames, the traffe was practically an sland-still. Nothing whatever was moving at Gravesend and Tilbury--Reuter,

"have great pleasure in thank- Ing my old friend Max Malini for coming here," said Mr. Wilson, " have known' Max for many years, any-

Henrik Nellson of Copenhagen, Surp.-Commide. May of the RN. Hospital, Messrs. J. An- derson Miller and M. Ching of Hongkong, N. A. Gorman of Can- ton, and Mr. Max Malini, of Chi- cago.

Introducing the speaker for the day, Mr. Tum pointed out that Mr. Malini was

world famous, had travelled the globe In the "show" business for over 50 years and had, during that time, performed before BOITIC

the most illustrious person- ages of his line-besides many hun- dreds of Rotarians,

Mr. Max Malin! then proceeded to keep the Rotary members and their guests amused. He started his enterlalament by relating sev- eral stories which galed consider- ably in the telling.

His success, said Malint, was due mainly to his sticking to his own business. Once, having lost all his money on horse racing in Austra- la he went to New Zealand and there performed before a distin guished Knight who was illustrious as u speaker.

"Finally I asked if this person would not say a few words in order that I might put it on record that I had heard him speak, for I had heard many other famous speakers, He agreed, came up to me and sald, Malini, you should be the premier of Palestine. The whale of Palestine should be yours!' But I had only one answer for him- "How do you know I am a Jew?" (Laughter).

The Lions Club

On another occasion, Malini re- lated, he was speaking before a Lions Club and told the story of ti lion, A circus owner, he said, had lost his lion and finally pre- valled upon a Jew to dress In a Hon's skin and to act as a Hon. The Jew agreed, for $25 and went into the cage. The ringmaster call- ed upon bis patrons to come up and see the fiercest lion in captivity. He even went so far as to offer, in order to show the lion's strength, to put it between the tiger and the leopard in the same cage.

of

to

At this there were squeaks disapproval from under the lion's skin, which was nevertheless hustled into the cage containing the tiger and leopard, The Jew began pray heartily. "Please God protect me, I am a Jew." But the only reply he received was the boarse whisper from elther side of him, "Shut-up! So are wel"

Even more entertaining than his stories, however, was Malini's de- monstrations of his skill with a "deck" of cards.

Card Wizardry

He performed but few tricks, yet each was perfect and left every member of the audience completely baffled. He allowed one member. for instance, to choose a card-not by touching the pack but merely by thinking of it. He then allow- ed another member to deal the cards one at a time into his hands while still another member was in- structed to call a halt whenever he chose to do so. After the third card the member sald stop! And the card he had stopped at was thơ: card chosen by the original mêm- berl

After an all-too brief demonstra- to the President tion of his skill, Malini gave way who called upon

"I wish to thank you, Mr. Malini, on behalf of myself and fellow Rotarians, for n delightful entertain- ment." (Applause).
