THE “PECULIAR PEOPLE.”

A correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette, who has had an interview with an Elder of the Peculiar People, writes; —Amongst the many instances of heal ing quoted by the Peculiar People in support of their doctrine, the following is one of the most strange. A man and his wife who belong to the People have placed on record their thankfulness for mercieff received. The wife was lame for seventeen years, but God spoke to her and told her that by going under His holy order he would heal her ; and so it was. Their daughter, ten years of age, lost her sight, and was blind for twelve months. She dreamed three nights. running that if she Went under the order of anointing with oil she would receive her sight. She did so, and was perfectly healed, “ But,” I asked the Elder, “ can you tell me about any cases which have come under your own personal observation?” ‘‘Oh, yes, many,” he replied, and detailed several, the case of his own child being one. His little daughter, aged fourteen, was recently strickeiiwith typhoid fever, from which she was never expected to recover ; but, without the aid of a medical attendant, after prayer and the anointing with oil, she was quickly re stored to health and vigor. “We con sider,” continued the Elder, “ that we ought to be allowed! the privilege of acting upon the doctrine which we be lieve as a religious right. As a religi ous body we want-liberty of conscience to take the Bible as our guide through life. We take that to be the safest and best rule to abide by under every cir cumstance in life, and where the law clashes with that we deem it necessary to regard it rather than the law. In this we are only following the example of the three Hebrew children of old. Moreover, I may add that throughout the whole of the New Testament there is no trace of the use of medical advice or skill.” I asked whether this rule was applied by them to cases of acci dent as well-as sickness; but he replied that that depended upon the serious ness of the cases. In cases of accident where surgical aid was necessary broken bones, for example they would call in surgical assistance, “ be cause,” said my informant, “ we have no authority in the Scriptures that God will heal broken limbs; but lie has said, * I will heal all manner of sickness and disease.’ ”

A STRANGE MURDER CASE.

The Charters Towers correspondent of the Brisbane Courier gives some par ticulars of a remarkable case of sus pected murder in connection with the death of one Robert Brown Nesbit. The body was found with the wound of a revolver bullet in it, and three men were arrested —John George Middle ton, William Simpson, and Pratt. They were brought up on the 23rd, and re manded until Monday, the 30th ult. The Court was densely crowded, every available space being taken advantage of during the four days which were oc cupied by the hearing. On the Wed nesday the prisoner Pratt, who had been discharged that morning, made a most important statement, disclosing a plot concocted the previous night by Middleton, who was confined in the cell adjoining that in which Pratt was, for the purpose of fastening on Simpson the crime of having shot Nesbit. In order to arrange an interview with Pratt, Middleton wrote a few words on a slip of paper, which he secreted in the water-clpset, and directed Pratt where to find it. This scrap of ■ paper was found by Pratt a few minutes after, and handed to the lockup-keeper, who then arranged to lie concealed with Pratt in the cell in order to hear the ex pected conversation. Towards 12 o’clock at night Pratt spoke to Middleton, and said he thought all was quiet now, and asked the latter what he had to say. Middleton deferred speaking on the matter, as he thought it was rather too early. In a short time again he, how ever, spoke, ai)d a long conversation ensued, in which Middleton professed to relate the circumstances of the murder, which he said was done acci dentally by Simpson. These circum stances he wanted Pratt (who appears now to be entirely innocent) to verify in order to corroborate his statement. The circumstances, as related by Middleton, were that the deceased prevailed on him and Simpson to go with deceased to the house of a shipmate named Jack son, where deceased boarded, and to fire a revolver off in the garden in order to frighten Jackson. This they agreed to do, Middleton taking the re volver. After going a short distance away from the house of the latter, de ceased sat down in the spot where he was found next morning. The other two knelt alongside of him. Simpson took the revolver out of Middleton’s belt, and in examining it it went off accidentally, the bullet entering near the fight temple of deceased, who in stantly dropped dead. Middleton also stated when asked by Pratt what became of the money which was in deceased’s pocket at the time that he .took two notes, and Simpson took the Silver. The lockup-keeper was con cealed in Pratt’s cell on that night, having been told by him that Middle t&h had something to say, and the same story was afterwards told by Middleton in a statement taken down in writing. Pratt was discharged, and na bill was filed against Simpson ; but Middleton has been placed on his trial.

Business Notices. An evil and its remedy.—tj the Editor, —It is a heal thy signofthe times when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when something must be done either by the legisla ture or by business men themselves to put an end to a state of affairs which is a disgrace to our boasted civilisation. We (the under signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about years, and the money we have lost during that period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries b&ides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we have resolved to sell for j cash only in future. The honest man who is willing to pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he gees, will find this no disadvant age but a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give cur customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices : —Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s 6d ; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2.

The above “Extract” is one of the most marvellous discoveries of the age. Its effects are instantaneous, and never fail in chronic or acute cases, however severe. _ . . The great properties of this medicine consist in its never producing costive ness, no matter how freely used, and its being perfectly harmless and purely her bal, yet curing Diarrhoea, Dysentery; Eng lish Cholera, etc., with the greatest cer tainty. TESTIMONIALS. Rangiota, July 7, 1881. Sir, —Having examined the N.Z. Herbal Extract, I find it to be skilfully' prepared vegetable preparation, possessing the properties of the plants from which it is derived in a highly con centrated state, a fact which I have veri fied by evaporating a fluid drachm placed in a watch glass over a spirit lamp. On weighing the result, a dark green extract, I found the weight to be 14j grains. On 'further submitting the extract to analysis I found it to be rich in tannin. In a large number of cases of ordinary diarrhoea, as well as in many chronic cases and in dysentery, Ihaveprovedit to possess great specific control, added to the unusual feature in a majority of diarrhoea medi cines, that it does not subsequently con stipate the bowels. I feel satisfied that from the number of trials 1 have been enabled to make of it in a somewhat ex tensive practice, it is a most valuable addition to modern therapeutics. The following cases are taken at ran dom from my note book : Case No. I— Mrs M , West Eyre ton, suffering for two years from chronic dysentery, which had reduced her almost to a skeleton. After a fortnight’s trial not only had the diarrhoea stopped, but she commenced eating meat without pain, and the usual concomitant vomiting. In two months she had gained 181bs weight. Case No. 2—A G., child, aged five years. Fortnight diarrhoea. Was effectually cured on third day. Case No. 3—A soldier who had con tracted’dysentery in India got a small two ounce phial, and was well before he had finished half of it.

They have a wonderful effect in curing children, as well as grown persons, by removing the worms. They have been with grea auo ■ . ess introduey into the principal families in Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. They are guaranteed to do away, in a very short time, with many serious complaints like Bronchitis, Piles, Ulcers, Ulcerated Throats, etc., if taken in time, as these sicknesses are often caused by worms of all kinds, especiolly by the Tape Worm, e and by the most dangerous Thread Worm, ,t which, if not destroyed in time, will soon q create the uardly-curable Worm Fever. L . The smallest, the Thread Worm, will more e than any other worm penetrate through all the, crevices of the body up to the , brain. An example was recently wit ’ nessed, where a child falling continually e into fits (the parents not knowing the e cause) at last died with the brain affected e by the too fatal Thread Worm. Still more d recently there was a case, a grown man e whose seat was affected by the Thread [. Worm, and who, after trying many sorts of remedies, without effect was directly relieved by a dose of DR HEILBRON’S Worm Oakes. 3 <5 3 a r. There are cases where the worms come „ away that they almost can be counted then often they come away in whole clots, and sometimes in a thick and slimy stuff, and although not so perceptible, still they are caused to leave by Dr Heilbron’a Worm Cakes. And there have been other cases where children affected with Worms, when coughing or sneezing, do discharge them through the mouth and nose. The symptoms of Worms are generally as follows ;—Lassitude, Giddiness, De pression of Spirits, Impaired Appetite (which if not acted against, will engender diseases of the bile), Disorder of the Stomach and Digestive Organs, Sick Headaches, Vomiting, Disturbed Sleep, and many more serious complaints, in cluding Fits, of which last many persona have been cured by these Worm Oakes. No time should be lost in removing these Worms, else the consequence will be seri ous, as they will increase in size and quantity, and ultimately spread through out the intestines. If Worms are ne glected for a time they will do so much damage as to make it beyond human skill to restore and reorganise the system of digestive organs. DIRECTIONS FOR USB. The quantity of these Worm Cakes to be taken at a dose depends mostly on the . age and constitution of the patient. In most oases a couple of doses will drive the 1 worms away for many years, if hot en -1 tirely. As a standard : A dose for a child up to 2 years will be half a Cake ; from 2 ’ to 4 years old, one whole Cake ; from 4 3 to 8 years, one Cake and a half; from 81 j 14, two Cakes ; and so to increase with the age, but never more than four Cakes at one dose. Grown females may gene rally take three Cakes at a dose, and grown men four Cakes, according to con stitution. The most effective way of using these Worm Cakes is by taking the doss . before going to bed, and on the following [ morning to take a cup of hot tea before breakfast. ijas- As I am not certain how long I may stay in this town, and as these Worm , Cakes can be obtained at a very small ex j pense families will do well to have always a small supply of them at their houses.
