VESSEL ASHORE.

[Pie Pbess Association.]

Ohbistohtooh, January 27,

The btrqae May Queen ashore, near Ouap Bay, has settled down considerably In the water. At half-tide the bulwarks Wtra just clear, and as the tide roee the waves washed over the poop. A gang of thirty men were engaged m dieohargins ettgo. Up to late this afternoon 850 toni had been got out. The satis and yirds are being taken off Tho cabin fittings and officers' instruments havo bs en removed. It is thought that If a nor 1 eiater springs up the vessel will booh break np. The pomps have been forced tip through the deok, a sure sign that her back ii broken, and that the rocks have penetrated her hold. Twenty tons of powder on board have bpen Hived.

M. PASTEUR'S MICROBES.

Although no leas than 38J3 inventors have competed for the_-<£25, 000 prize offered by New Soatli Wales for a remedy for the rabbit nuisance without m any one^iffstance establishing their right to th^ reward, it really seems very probable that the great French chemist, M. Pasteur, will succeed where all others have failed. Prima facie he should be likely to succeed if anyone caa m the direction of indicating a communicable disease which shall be fatal to the hosts of bunny, inasmuch as his researches m connection with rabies and other diseases hare resulted m the ascertainment and classification of disease germs, which, m some instances at anyrate, are microscopically small animalcule, or M microbes," a term invented since the latest published dictionary to which we have access. Pasteur has discovered that the microbes of chicken-cholera can be transferred to the rabbit, to which that disease is promptly fatal, and it is claimed that m a recent experiment the introduction of an inoculated rabbit 1 into a rabbit-warren was m a few hours j fatal to every rabbit within it. If this prove to be an invariable result, the effectiveness of the Pasteur remedy will be established beyond doubt, and if we can only be as positively assured that the disease is incommunicable to human beings and to domestic animals, then the value of the discovery cannot be over-estimated. The colonies have already lost millions of money through the mischief wrought by rabbits, and will lose many millions more unless that mischief can be put a stop to by their decimation or extermination, and no sum of money would be too large, even though it went into six figures, to pay for a certain and complete remedy. But before we go m for the importation of microbes for this purpose, it is to be hoped that the most thorough investiga tion will be made and the most searching cafe taken to be absolutely sure that the disease they are im ported to propagate can and will be confined to the rabbits alone — for we cannot divest ourselves of an uneasy feeling that m the importation of disease of any kind we are playing with edged tools. It is, therefore, with satisfaction that we observe that Sir F. B. Bell is about to proceed to Paris to make careful enquiry on this head, and we shall await the result of his investi gations with interest. Meantime, we concur entirely with much that is said by our Auckland contemporary, the " TSTew Zealand Herald," on this sub c. ject. That journal writes (m its issue of 19th inst.) as follows :— " The Scientific investigations and experiments of M. Pasteur will no doubt redound to the benefit of humanity, but a grave responsibility appears to attach to his recent proposal of sending a cargo of microbes to the colonies for introducing A fatal disease among rabbits. We may not fally comprehend the patho logical developments of ' chicken cholera,' as he terms the disease which lie proposes to impart by inoculation ; but as the rabbits infested by it live only a few hours it appears to be some thing more virulent than the disease which is commonly known to us by that name- — indeed the virulence of a malady which proves so rapidly fatal is enough to create some alarm at the prospect of its spread over the colony, by whatever name it may be called. That it has been found communicable to only certain classes of animals may mean the actual limitation of its operation, or it may mean the failure of experiment to deter mine its potency ; but that it affects creatures so diverse as fowls and rabbits, opossums and hares, shows that m some way or other it has a pretty wide range of fatality. If it is merely what we know as chicken-cholera we do not require the introduction of M, Pasteur's microbes ; but if is something of greater virulenc ', some discretion should be exercised by the Government m the acceptance of M. Pasteur's favors. We have already had considerable experience of the fact that when men have a particular end to attain they are not so particular as to the consequences affecting other interests ; I and the efforts of our acclimatisation societies have not been m all cases un attended with evil, although expert and scientific evidence has been freely enough adduced to prove the perfectly innocuous character of the importations. Even supposing that M. Pasteur s experi ments, proving the non-comtnunicability of this disease to others than rabbits, hares, and opossums, have b^en ex haustive, there if something revolting m the chances cf such diseased animals entering into the consumption of food by the people ; nor can science affirm with absolute certaiuty that a disease evidently invested with a considerable virulence m itself, may not when widely diffused become, intensified, and develope new and more dangerous features. On such points science is usually dogmatic, but considering all the contingencies it certainly demands grave considerations whether we are warranted, even with such an object as slaying rabbits, m introducing a fatal disease of any kind which is expected to diffuse itself over all the Australian colonies. Like the rabbits themselves, it may refuse to be controlled, and like the genii of the tales it may be easy to raise but very difficult to lay."

WHO IS MOTHER SEIGEL.

She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a most valuable discovery, and she I is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the country, and aveiybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to read the thousands of letteri, something l'ke the following from Mr Perkins : — 7K WONDriIFUL TESTIMONIAL. ••Grove Pharmacy, Eajing, W., Jan 2 f isßf "Your medicine most be the most wonder ful discovery, for during my experience of more than twenty years. I never knew any pr6prietary or patent medicine m such universal favour and demand. It is simply extraordinary, and if I were to send you an account of every statement made to me m its favour, you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. i . (Signed) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people ask — WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. 11 59, Bloomfteld road, Plumstead, "Jan. 7, 1885. " I find the sale of your medicines increases every.-year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady that attended the Female Hospital m Soho-square for soaie m*nths, with pains m back and side, and bilious, and could tike no food, but got no benefit from any of the medicines they gave her. Before she had taken all the contents of one bottle of your syrup she felt relte f, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Baker." THE EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS. "Medical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of SeigeVs Syrup. There is a case of a young married lady m Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asthma for a long period, who had consulted some of the best physicians of the day, but without deriving any benefit. She was daily getting worse, but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seigel's syrup. She procured a bottle, and the effect was marvellous j she rap dly improved,, and now she is as strong and healthy as e»er she has been. (Signed) "H. Lloyd-Jonbs." WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL GOOD FOR? POES NOT RESTORE THE DKAD, BUT SAVES Till LIVING, Mr J. W. Savill. of Dunmow, Essex, writes, — September, 1884: — "I introduced your medicines into Dunmow almost as soon as they were brought out m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds' worth. I have kn iwn many grand cases of permanent cures ; and, as yet, no case of iailure. >' ot witVistanding many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup holds its own ground. I be lieve it a good medicine — it will not restore the dead to life, but H appears to save the living from dying. A CASE OF GRAVEL CURED. "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. "It has always given me pleasure to re -1 commend your medicines to my customers, ' and the results of their use have invariably , been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c unstable of the police force ' of Tooting, S.W., where I for many years > had a shop, was a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of gravel. He was per- I su acted to try ' Mother Seigel's Syrup.' He purchased a bottle at my shop, and by the \u25a0 time he had taken half of it he reported him -1 se!f to me as quite cured. The effect was 1 simply miraculous. (Signed) "J. D. FLORANCB." ' IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? Would respectable chemists write like the following if not ? SURGICAL OPKRATIfN AVERTED. "Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. 5 Mr Edward Cohkk. Chemist, writes :— t " Your medicine maintains a steady sale m \u25a0 this district, and is well established m general [ favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, who some three or fout years ago was advised ' to submit to the operation for stone. He ) certainly was suffering from some distressing j symptoms, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could ! walk about fairly well, and, having taken > three or four 2s 6d bott es, he was completely " cured. He is still about, hale and hearty for , his years. If any of the symptoms of the old ' trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the ! Syrup, and all is well again." [ WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUI MOTHER 1 SEIGEL. ' AN EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS. " Cosham, Hants, Jan. 2, 1885. "My customers, ever a wide country dts ! trict, are not very demonstrative, and I have > no written testimonials to send ; but verbal admiration of your medicine is m the ascend ant, and my experience of forty years assures . me that no other preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity, and so firmly main tains its reputation as Mother Seigel's Syrup.
