Bill. The chief's speech was to the’effect that the native lands on which no man ? had setfoot should be administered by na tivea themselves, and he characterised the Bill as dangerous, “ with teeth in its head and* sting to its tail/’ for the destruction of the land. The Native Ministbb expressed ad ulation of Wabanai’s address, which he said wasso evidently friendly an S given with a desire to meet the House in framing laws beneficial to the natives, while not Injurious to the Colony. He explained the provisions Of the Bill, of which he ,moved the weend re-dLj, and which he ■aid was inCiaJC.il .0 |be jony temporary. He intCnded that the Bill should be so altered in Committee as to have clauses providing that the machinery for dealing with the lands should be struck out, and have ln only those prohibiting private individuals dealing with them. In answer to Colonel Fbassb, the Hon. Mr Ballanob said that no existing , rights would be prejudiced. Mr Pbbc suggested a scheme for the administration of lands by Boards of three, two to be appointed by the natives, and - one by the Government He asked that . ■ the second reading should be adjourned 1 Tuesday, so as to allow of an alteration in the meantime to contain only prohi bition clauses.... Mr Tk Ao followed, and advocated cer * tun alterations being made in the mea sure. 1'

SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.



The Amer’can Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, has la ely forwarded to his Govern ment an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Profes sor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a ponion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ—and- strange to say, the patient recovered—the only surgical operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which this operaiionwas performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symptoms; —The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stcmach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “ all gone” sensation; a sticky slime collects about the teeth, especially in the morning, ac companied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the f; cl ing. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yel'ow ; the hands and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore bodings. When rising suddenly from a recum bent position there is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood be coming thick and stagnant, and does not circu late pioperly. After a time the patient spits ip food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease.' Towards the last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the opening in the intestines becomes c)ose, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of- a thou sand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigel s Cnrative Syrup, a vegetible preparation sold by all chemists and, medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the pro prietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Famng don road, London, E.C.; or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser and Co.'s ew Zealand ,Drug Company (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auck'and. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system.



St. Mary street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. Sir,- It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from eigel’s Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, and after takng two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly, William Brent. Mr A. J. White. September Bih, 1883. Dear Sir, —I find the sale of Scigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues : one customer describes it as a “ Godsend to dys peptic people.” I always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chca ist-dentist, Merthyr Tydvil.



To Mr A. J. White. Seigel’s Operating P.lls are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from ;all irritating _ sub stances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. Preston, September 21st, 1883. My Dear Sir,—Vour Syrup and Pil’s are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines pos sible. The [other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said “ Mother Seigel had saved the life 'of his wife, and he added, “ one of these bottles I am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it.”



The sale keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one \yould fancy almost that the people we: e be ginning te breakfast, .dine, and sup on Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the demand is so constant apd the satisfaction so great, Tam, dear Sir, yours faithfully, ; (Signed) W. Bowkcr, To A. J. White, Es^.
