THE WATER SUPPLY. Cr Friedlander moved the appointment of the Mayor, Crs Scaly, Williamson, and him self as a deputation to interview the County Council with a view to impressing upon them the necessity of making a connection between the North and South Branches of the Ashburton River. . Cr Williamson was quite with Cr tried-1 lander in this matter. Mr Digby had been making au outcry in the papers about this matter, but Mr .L-igby had been doing some thing of the same kind. Mr Digby had a tunning stream through his property, but t.e ba<3 led it away to water Chinamen's gardens, and he (<he speaker) was now short. The motion was carried. Cr SeaJy caled attention to the strte of the channels, into which offensive matter had been allowed to run durng Ihe absence of the flow of water, and moved tbat the Inspector of Nuisances be instructed to take active measures to suppress nuisances in the channels and elsewhere. This was agreed to. The Council having inquired into certain charges against the Poundkeeper, exonerated that official and adjourned.

THE WATER QUESTION.

There having been some dispute recently as to the exact facts of the case in con nection with the dates at which the drying-up of the North branch of the Ashburton has occurred since this part of the country was settled upon, we have instituted enquiries and believe that the following may be accepted as entirely reliable particulars. We are . informed, upon excellent authority, that the North branch ceased running at Digby's bridge in 1867 and thereafter never ceased running until 1886, when the same portion of this branch again went dry. At Mr Robert Millar's, three miles above the bridge, it has never been dry within the memory of the oldest settler, so that neither now nor; at any time has the branch been dry; "from end to end." It is suggested' that the drying up in 1867 may have been caused by the damming up of the river above for sheep-washing purposes —not an uncommon practice at that; period—or by the slipping in of the banks, there having been some heavy 1 land Blips in that year. Nineteen years elapsed before the same part of the North branch became again dry, and the fact that the interval has now shortened to four years is pointed to as indicating that the diversion of the water into the county races is responsible for the cir cumstance, and as rendering the re currence of the unpleasant and incon Tenient phenomenon •at even shorter intervals than four years probable. The drastic remedy of closing the races is one which would doubtless be effectual, but it is one which obviously cannot be contemplated, as this would be a process of robbing Peter to pay Paul, and a laiger number of settlers would be incon venienced and put to loss than are now Buffering by the dryness of the North branch. Nor do the latter, although they claim a prior right to the water, advocate BO extreme a course. They say that the needs of all parties can be provided for by the very simple expedient of diverting a part of the stream which flows down the South into the fciorth branch, and indicate an enlargement and extension of an existing watercourse which crosses the Alford Forest road at 0' Shea's, and connecting it with the two branches, as affording a ready means of doing this. And if the assertions which have been made to us can be substantiated, this is * work which ought to be at once un - dertaken as it would involve no appreci able drain upon the resources of the County Council. For we are informed that all that is required can be effected for an outlay of £100, a Bum which is a mere bagatelle as compared witn the advantages which it would, secure. We presume that the Chairman would hesi tate to order the work to be carried out without the sanction of the Council first obtained, and clearly the Engineer -cannot proceed upon his own responsi- 1 fcility, but those interested are taking the proper course of preparing a mem orial which is to be eubmittad at the ordinary meeting of the County Council which falls to be held on the 4th March next and this we hope will receive favorable consideration. Indeed we have no reason to doubt that such will be the i case, as thejsuggestion to take water from the one branch to the other was re commended to the Council by its Engineer some time ago. In the mean time the settlers on the North branch have suggested that as a temporary ex pedient only half the water now sent down the races should be allowed to flow, the remainder being retained in the natural channel, but we are informed that though at first sight feasible this.plan is not really eo,as the amount now flow ing along the races is not sufficient to carry water to some of the properties reached by the races but which even now the water does not reach. If then a .temporary relief iB impossible the neces sity for permanent relief iB all the more

HEREKING VILLAGE SETTLE MENT.

(" New Zealand Herald.")

None of the village settlements were the subject of keener or more unfavonrable criticism than that of Herekino, The settlers were repeatedly reported as starving, and the whole thing was looked upon as a certain failure, It was therefore doubly gratifying to publish yesterday the letter oi our corres pondent describine the festivities with which they celebrated their third anniversary. Plenty in the shape of refieshment seems to have marked the occasion, and guests were a'tracted or invited from all the surrounding districts. The greatest satisfaction was felt, and a confident hopo expressed that the next anniversary would find them making still more progress. "Dancing was kept up till day light," and with blithe hearts the once commiserated settlers of Herekino prepared for the labours of tbe year to come, May it answer their highest expectations, and may they be able to show what Auckland can do for strong hands and wiling hearts, however small the capital which they have to back them.

HoLLOWAY'S OIJNTMENT AND PIIXS.— More precious than Gold.—During summer and ouiumu the prevailing diseases are diarrhacea, dysentery, fevers, and English cholera, par icular'.y dmgerous to children and young people. In these acute cases, where internal medicines cannot be retained, the [ greatest relief will immediately result from Hollowny's soothing Ointment over the abdomen. The friction should be frequent and \ risk, to ensure the penetration of a large portion of the Ungent. This Ointment calms the excited peristaltic action, quickly allaying the pain. Both vomiting and griping yield to it; where fruits or vegetables have originated the malady, it is proper to remove aU undigested matter from the bowels by a moderate dose of Holloway's Pills before using th; Ointment.

TEN MONTHS'SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL

There is an old saying that physicians are « class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know Jess. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with these medical gent emen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own trade by outsiders who have never st died medicine. 1 hey therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " H*U Mark" An eminent physician—Dr Brown-bequard, of Paris—sta»es the fact accurately when he says t " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diimond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks." We give a most inteiesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship "Concordia," of the Donadson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887. having on board as a fire man a man named Richar 1 Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India, He had born • the hard end exhausting abor, and had been healthy and strong. On the trip we now name he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and ha suffered from drowsiness, heart burn, a bad tiste in the mouth, and costiveness ana 'irregularity of tV.e bowe's Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of g; ddiness, but supp sed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Liter during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house j surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next r^y the visiting physician gave him a inlxiurf vo 'r.'.- every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the [ powders and the mixture. A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for the next five months. lie gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he a'e. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food, operat iug pills one every night, and temperature pills two f ach night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an ir'ea that he took enough to do it, But on the other hand pleurisy set in and_ the doctors took ninety ounces of matter from his right side, and then told him he was sure to die. Five months more rolled by. and there was another change of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said made him j t> emble like a leaf on a tree. At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to stand any more dosing, and told the doctors that if he trust die he i could die as well without them as with them. I By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fas* going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press. He says: '' When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to bean angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive; She told me of a medicine called ' Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,' and bt ought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only d few days' time I was out of bed calling for ham and eggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind," The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion! We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Stob cross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach h'm. 3

digestive organs of the pccumulated poisonous matter. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should , never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particu'ar desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually pos eses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon the biain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further onsHpation, as nearly all other pills do. As further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmles coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are eflective in curing disease, If you bave a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever, A coated tongue, with a brackish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matter in the stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pilis will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness, nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with a, dose of these pills, and good health will follow.

Unl;ke many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physc ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions in either ex withoutany nnpleasant effects.

HOW PILLS ARE MADE * —. The Custpm of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far b'aclc in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very use ful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 two thousand million) pills are consumed every vp*r In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was compara tively small. To-day they are produced in inftnitely greater rapidity by machines especi ally c'ontriyed fop £he purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form ot medication can be better than k pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. Put right here occurs the difficulty. _ Easy as it may seem to make a pill, or a million of them there "are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Afost of them either undershoot or overshoot the mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when onp j , -feels dull and sleepy, and has mpre or less pain 1 in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure I his bowels are constipated, and his liver uggish, To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating $$ Uyer into doing its duty, an 4 ridding th^
