At ibis district is oaa of tbe be:t, If not tbe very beet for apple-culture in No* Zealand, and as many orobardiste we greatly troubled with the American blight, It will be of interest to them to learn that It is claimed that the peat aan be entirely got rid of by the use of a very simple specific. Mr Snell, of tha Aus tralian Giant Family, writes to aa as follows:—"la my travels through Hew Z: aland I have noticed a lot of apple trees covered with American blight, At my {lace in G'ppslaad, about four years ago, bad ail my trees In the same state. I tried tobacco water, keroseae, suspends, and lime water, all without aval', and at last bethought me of a vety Blmple ex pedient, which, 1 am happy to say, proved thoroughly efftotnal. This was rubbing lard into the parts effected, the reßult being entirely satisfactory, all my t?eeß being now clear of blight and la good bearing. If any of your readers try thia expedient I feel sure they will be pleased with the rcialt. DflppfDg will answtr as weilf It lard osonot ba obtained, and a pound weight will saffice for a large tr,e," We have to thank Mr Btell for his oom nanioatlon, which will probably prove of greet v*lae to apple-growers.



Hollow ay's Pills.—lndigestion and Liver Complaints, The digestion cannot be long or I seriously disordered without the derangement being perceptible in the countenance. These Pills prevent both unpleasant consequences; they improve the appetite, and with the increase of desire for food, they augment the powers of digestion and assimilation in the stomach. Holloway's Pills deal most satis factorily with deranged or diseased conditions of the many oigans engaged in extracting nourishment for our bodies from our various di«t« —as the liver, stomach and bowels, over all of which they exercise the most salutary control. By resorting at an eaily stage of this malady to these purifying nnd laxative Pills, the dy peptic is speedily restored to health and treDgth and his sallowness gradually vanishes



HOW PILLS ARE MADE »,. The Custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back 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 yp«r In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was compara tively small. To-day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especi ally contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various ingredients employed. No form ot medication oan be better than i. pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occur.'; 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. Most 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 onf feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated, and bis liver upgish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous mat . 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 :s. 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 particular 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 brain, 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 constipation, 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 renderipg them as pleasant to the palate as they are eflective in curing disease, If you have a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in ths head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a braekrish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matte in the stomach. A dose of Seigel 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 physic ever discovered. They remove all obstruction to the natural functions in either sex withoutany unpleasant effects. It should be explained that the most remark able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease ot the blood* Indigestion, constipa tion, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested focd to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism, Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then emoves from the system the poison already there. It is not a cure-all. It does its wonderful work entirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs. But when were member that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseases that ppear to be so differept in their nature.
