The Ashburton Guardian Magna et Veritas et Præevalebit MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1890. THE HINDS-RANGITATA LAND SALE.

As is alwaya the case in the matterl^ j of Government land sales, the most meagre information possible has been I given to the public by the department with respect to tbe lands lying be tween the Hinds and JtUngitata rivers , which' will be open for application [for purchase or lease, on and after I the 10th of next month. On making enquiry we find that the promise ut the Minister to supply copies of plans to all County Councils and Road Boards has not been fulfilled, up to this date at any rate no plans having been reoeivei at the Ashburton County offices. We find, however, that a copy of the plan and a handbill giving the particulars required as to numbers of sections and blocks, and price per acre are displayed at the Ashburton post office, and that copies are to be fouad in the office of the railway stationmaster, but are not dis played to public view, as they ..ought to be. As just at this season it may be inconvenient to many persons to make a journey to the Ashburton post office for the purpose of obtaining the desired information, we will give our readers the particulars, although in so doing, we are practically making the Government a present of means of publicity which ought to be paid for— preferring to suffer loss ourselves to seeing intending settlers disappointed, The aggregate acreage opened or to be opened to application is as our readers are already aware between 16,000 and 17,000 acres, some 13,000 odd of which is classified and the balance as second-class land. Following are the full particulars :— ] I j I

The remarkable geological phenomenon of the moving stone of Buenos Ayree is situated on the mountain of Tandil in. the eouthem part of the. province of Baenoa Ayres.| It is called the moving stone, and is famous throughout South America. This enormous rock appears to be sustained on its base by an invisible axis, and has an OBoillating movement from east to west to and from the mountain, the power of a single man being sufficient to put it in motion. It measures 21 feet in height, 90 feet in length, and 18 2eet in breadth 'It represents a volume of over 2000 cubic feet, and its ap proximate weight, as calculated, is 150 tons. Its figure is that of an irregular oone, and the base on which it rests has also the form of a oone, which has a diameter of about ten inches. When tbe wind blows from tbe scu'h-east the movable stone sways, rises, and falls after tbe manner ot tbe branch of a great tree. ;

However, in spite of all efforts, on the 27th August, ,1877, the opinion was given, by Dr Macgitlivray that an amputation of the injured limb had become imperative, in order to save life. At this junoture I called on Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Extract of the Euoalyptus Globulus, and by the application of the same I had the satisfaction of Beeing my son within & fortnight put of all danger and to-day he is recovered.'

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 tbese 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 studied medicine.- lhey therefore pay,-by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " Hill Mark"

An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Scquard, of Paris—stages the fact accurately when he says : " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks." ' We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship " Concordia," of the Dona dson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richar i 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 and 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 he suffered from drowsiness, heart burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels.. Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of giddiness, 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 surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next, day- the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that' the doctors stopped bpth the powders and the mixture. A month passed frhe poor fireman getting worse and,worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for the next five months* He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he a fe. 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 each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an i^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 hint tremble like a leaf on a tree. ■'■ ■ ■/' v , At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood /asserted itself. He refused, to stand any more .dosing, and told the doctors that ifhe must die he could die as well without them as with them. I By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on I his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he conimuuicated 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 be an 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 brought me a bottle next day, I started with it, tfrthout consulting the doctors, and in only a few days' time I was out of bed, calling for v Jiam.and e%gs 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 woild, 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, Stbb" cross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach him.

A REMARKABLE PROPHETESS

Bat no pro phetess or prophet has named the buc caeeor of Leo. Tbe good woman of Taj?, gh, however, has left a prophecy behind her which etll remains to be fulfilled* b'he died in 1837. When Cardinal Maa t)i )g fir t visited Italy in 1818 he was told of her prophecies which events almotot immediately began to fulfil. Among other" predictions this simple" villager in said to have foretold that Lou:a Ph l'ppe would lo«e his throne and die in oxilo : that tha Pope Plus won d be driven frofn Itome, but would be restored by Napo leon. "Billy woman," cried those to whom ehe repeated the vision. "Napo leau ia dead- 19 Events, however, vindi cated her predictions to tha very letter.

Then would come a revolution In Italy, after whloh a kingdom of Italy wou'd bo eet np. Every one of theie predictions h»s beetj fulfilled.

Holloway's Oijntment and Pills.— More precious than Gold. —During summer and autumn the prevailing diseases are diarrhacea, dysentery, fevers, and English cholera, par icularly dangerous to children and young people. In these acute cases, where internal medicines cannot be retained, the greatest relief will immediately result from rubbing Hollowny's soothing Ointment over the abdomen. The friction should be frequent and lirisk, to ensure the penetration of a arge porton 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 all undigested matter from the bowels by a moderate dose of Holloway's Pills before vising the Ointment,
