MR CHEW CHONG'S CURE FOR LA GRIPPE.

Mr Chew Chong has forwarded to us the following letter, and the generous offer he makes, we feel sure, will be taken advantage of by sufferers from that painful complaint, la grippe

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —l have been very much grieved to see, day by day, in your paper, notices of the immense number of deaths occurring from influenza, or, as it iv now called, la grippe. 1 did not know what this disease was until I had an attack myself, when I at once recognised it as a disease well-known in China. This disease has been proved, in my country, to bo a form of skin disease, and, by means of a needle in the hands of anyone who lias once been shown the mode of operation, the worst cases of la grippe can be relieved in a few minutes. If any of your numerous readers who are troubled with the complaint will communicate with me I shall be most happy to cure them without any recompense, as it iB my desire to relieve all those who are ill, and who do not know the nature of the complaint. Further, if any one is so ill with la grippe that the doctors have given up all hope,- I shall be most happy to try, even at the eleventh hour, if my treatment will not effect a speedy cure, and so; at all events, try to save a life. I phall be happy to travel to see any case between- New Plymouth and Hawera, or within ten miles of any railway station, provided a horae or conveyance be provided for ray use. —l am, &c, Chew Chong.
