not to be overlooked or forgotten. A substantial proof
thereof is soon to be in the possession of him, who,
under God, has been the means of planting an offshoot
of our beloved Methodism in Tonga, the fruit of which is
seen to-day in a Christian king reigning over a Christian
kingdom.

KIDDERMINS PER BOARD OF
GUARDIANS.

On Tuesday the fortnightly meeting of the Board was
held in the Board Room, Mr. Joseph Kiteley iu th•
chair. . . . . . .

The Master's report stated that at the last return
there were 200 in the house, since admitted, 18 ; dia.
charged, 4; dead, 1; remaining in the house, 213 ;
corresponding week last year, 219; number of vagrants,
97 ; children in the school, 49; imbeciles in the house,
11.
The Relieving Officers reported that in district No. 1
the number of new cases was 50, and the amount of
relief £69 is 41d. In No. 2 district, 30 cases; amount,
£64 15s 01d.
A discussion now ensued as to the offer of the Council
to supply the house with water at £lO a quarter, and it
was unanimously resolved to accent the offer of the 1
Council for one year.
Mr Williams (of Tenbury) was appointed industrial
trainer, in the room of Mr. Piper, resigned.
A letter from Dr. Roden, vaccinating surgeon, was
read, complaining that Mr. David Corbet, surgeon,
whose surgery is next door to the vaccinating station for
the borough, was in the habit of placing on the days
appointed for public vaccination, placards outside his
door stating that he was the medical officer of health
for the borough, and allowing people to suppose that
he was thus the properly appointed vaccinator of the
borough, and that it was a part of his duty to vaccinate
gratuitously. Instances had occurred where children
vaccinated by him (Dr. Roden) had been through this
impression taken to Mr. Corbet and certified by him.
The letter went on to state that regardless of the law
h 3 had signed certificates to the effect that he had per-
formed the vaccination. He asked the Guardians,
therefore, to provide something like a placard stating
that his was the vaccination station for Kidderminster.

:-
Some discussion, in which Mr. Corbet's proceedings
were severely blamed, ensuei, but the Guardians con-
sidered that it was not their province to take action in
the matter ; they, however, agreed to do all in their
power to aid Dr. Roden in his efforts to prove that he
was the vaccinating surgeon, and ordered an official sign
board to be made and placed at his vaccinating station in
Church Street. The whole Board concurred in the
opinion that Mr. Corbet was not acting as oae medical
gentleman should act towards another, and that his con-
dtict in placing plaeards outside his door on the days
that Dr. Roden attended to vaccinate was at the least
unprofessional.
A letter from Mr. &rotten was next read relating to
the recent case of small-pox at the house, and assuring
the Guardians that there was no fear of the infection
spreading, proper precautions having been t iken to pre-
vent any such consequence.
Mr. It. Woodward said that in accordance with the
request of the Board he had attended the conference in
London, at which he found Guardians from all parts;
and informed the Board that the opinion of the con-
ference, was that the less out-door and the more
in-door relief there was the less pauperism would
ensue. vas

Mr. Woodward received the thanks of the Board far e
the trouble he had taken and the information he had
given them.

tioned articles were accepted :—Flour, 7s 6d, Messrs. C.

THROAT IRRITATION.—The throat and windpipe are
especially liable to inflammation, causing soreness and
dryness, tickling and irritation, inducing con& and at- A
fecting the voice. For these symptoms use glycerine in
the form of jujubes. Glycerine, in these agreeable , ,fly
confections, being in proximity to the glands at
the moment they are excited by the act of sacking,-
becomes actively healing. 6d. and is. boxes (by post

ing digestion from falling into that disordered state
which the pain, restlessness, and fever attending these
ailments is apt to produee, and which much retards re-

noble remedies ; they are equally applicable to all ages
and constitutions. They purify the blood. regulate !its
circulation, renew diseased structures, and invigorate the
