THE CALIFOILNIAN THISTLE IN NORTH CANTERBURY THE WAY TO DE aL WITH THE PEST The Chrlatchurch " Press " reporta that patches of the Oallforulaa thistle have, been noticed m the Eyreton road district on a farm at Kaiapol Island, one or two farms at Eyreton, and at the Ohoka. The efforts whioh have been made to eradicate It by Mr Marmaduka Dlx n, at Byreton, by the use of salt some months since proved quHe successful on a patch 14ft tqaare. After mowing off a thistle, a cwt of bacon-carers' salt, which probabl> contained a percentage of saltpetre, was liberally spp led, and the spot is at present quite bare of any vegetation. On the island Mr Merrin, who considers he has a small pleoe of land covered with them, has tried ploughing without eacoaas, but is now experimenting with an alkali which he hopes will prove snooeasfal. Mr J. Gray, at Eyretoc, has cut them down on his land and afterwards kept the thittle from spreading by hoeing i* m dry weather. There are two farms on Ja Olson's road and tbe Tram road res- peotively at Ohoka whioh are badly infested with the weed, and where steps should be taken to effect eradication. Upon one of them theie has bean some chains square covered with thistles for flome aix years past, but they did not seem to spread much till of late. It is evident the needs are maturing, pro- bably through the activity of the bumble beea. It has been pointed out by an ex- perienced farmer that cutting thistles en a wet day is an effective way of getting rid of them. His theory Is that the rainwater falling on to the stump of the thistle, which ia left In the ground, is drawn by the roots of the plant into the system of capillary vessels, which before outting connected the root with the upper part of the plant, and the water thus received Into the root serves as a poison end destroy a it. He maintains that to cut the thistle m dry weather is on the other hand not effective, for the reason that the fluid from the wound caused by the cutting sea'.B over, and new life springs again close to tbe anrface of the ground. Be reminds nt that on some of the farms of the Old Country it was a regular thing on a wet day, when other operations were suspended, for the farm hands to be turned out with leggings, a sack over the head and shoulders, and a scythe to cat the ihis'les.

She is a lady, who by the merest accident nas made a most valuable discovery, and sh« is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over th« country, and everybody is talking about hei and asking "WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to read the thousands o tter=}, something like the following from M: Perkins : — A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. "Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Jan. 2, 1885. *• Your medicine must be the most wonder ful discover/, for during my experience o more than twenty years, I new knew an] proprietary or patent medicine m Butt universal favour and demand. It is simpl] extraordinary, and if I were to send you at account of every statement made to me m it favour, you would have to publish a separat< book to contain my testimonials alone.

" I find the sale of your medicines increase: every year, and evaryone speaks well of then that tries them. I know a lady that attendee the Female Hospital m Soho-square for som< months, with pains m back and side, am bilious, and could tike no food, but got n< benefit from any of the medicines they gavi her. Before she had taken all the contents o one bottle of your syrup she felt relief, and i: now quite welL (Signed) "W. K. B3UCBX." THE BFFICT WAS MARVELLOUS. "M-dical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. 91 1 hear people constantly speaking verj highly of Seigel's Syrup. There n a case o a young married lady ia Anglesey whehac been suffering from stomach asthma for a long period, who had consulted some of the bes physicians of the day, but without deriving anj benefit She was daily getting worse, but ai last a friend persuaded her 10 try Seigel's syrup, She procured a bottle, and the effect wai marvellous ; she rapdly improved, and now she is as strong and healthy as e*er she ha; been. (Signed) "H. Lloyd-Jones." WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL GOOD FOR? POtS NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES THE LIVING. Mr J. W. Savill. of Dunmow, Essex, writes,— September, 1884:— •' I introduced year medicines into Dunmow almost as soon as they were brought out m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds' worth. ] have kown many gramd cases of permanent cures ; and, as yet, no case of failure. Not- withstanding many competitors, Mothei Seigel's Syrup holas its own ground. I be- lieve it a good medicine — it will not restore the dead to life, but it appears to save the living from dying. A CASK OF GRAVEL CURED.) "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. "It has always given me pleasure to re- 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, wa* a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of gravel. He was per. suaded to try ' Mother Seigel's fynip.' He purchased a bottle at my shop, and by the time, he had taken half of it he reported him- self to me as quite cured. The effect was simply miraculous. (Signed) '•]. D. Florance." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? Would respectable'chemists write like the ollowingifnot? SURGICAL OPERATION AVERTED. ••Ttcehurst, Dec., 1884. Mr Edward Corkk. Chemist, writes :— ""Your meuicine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well established m general favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, \u25a0 who some three or fout years ago was advised to submit to the operatic n for stone. He certainly was suffering from some distressing 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 fahly well, and, baying taken three or four 2s 6d bott es, he wai 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, aod all is well again." WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUI MOTHER SEIGEL, AN EXPERIENCE 07 FORTY YEARS. " Cosham, Hants, Jan. 2, 1885. "My customtrs, over a wide country dis- 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 Seieel's Syrup.
