VALEDICTORY.

Our readers will no doubt hare noted the changes that have recently taken place in the ownership of several farms in the county. Among the rest, the Mawson Bros., of Wheatstone, Toi-Toi, and Haka tere, are renouncing two of their farms — Wheatstone and Hakatere—to assume the proprietorship of 1300 acres on the Wes terneld estate. As the Mawson Bros, are • colonial born, it will not be out of place to give a" short sketch of thejr history, much of which was gleaned a,t v a valedic tory supper, given in their honor on Thursday, last at Mr John Small's home stead by, their neighbors. , • Messrs T. and J. Mawson are the sons of an old colonist well known in past  years in connection with the A., and B. . Associations of Canterbury, at all the .• show* in connection with which he was a t> valued and trusted judge, always in re , quest. Old Isaac'Mawson was a Cum •• berland man, and for years managed the Blackhowb; farm'for Mr Lindsay, an ex tensive landed I 'proprietor, near, White haven. He came to New Zealand in one of the historical-"first four ships," and for some time, was manager fpr Mr Twigger'ori; the Lincoln Road, Christ , church. Subsequently he .owned farms at, Seathcdte and I]llesmere, and was an , agriculturist, of high standings He had great skill in stock, hence his popularity >,«s a show judge, and when Mr John j Grieg's^ imported shorthorn bull ' MAlfonso" came into the market, Mr ■ MawsonVkeen eye noted his excellence^ and he bought' him at once. Subsequently ' Mr William Boag, a name to, conjure by as a stock judge, made, a journey Home. On'his return he attended Mr Mawson's sale,and seeing "Alfonso", bought, him at a high figure, not having seen anything better, among all the herds ho had: visited at Home. This fact speaks volumes for ♦the discernment both of Mr Grigg arid! Mr Mawson, Alfonso's stock has never, been beaten in Canterbury,- arid Mr Boagj -was lucky in securing him for his herd, as two heifers sired by the aristocratic' shorthorn while at the head of Mr Bbag's 1 herd, brought their owner 250gs each. > The, two young farmers under notice \ came to Ashburtori county in 1882, andj settled oh the River Terrace on 200 acres] of land, rust below the farm of Mr John; Small. In time they leased another 175 * acres on the,Toi-Toi property, and later! 280 acres of the Hakatere reserve, near: Mr Joseph Hunt's. These properties were awkward to work ; being five miles 1 apart,,and now, in 1890,. they have se cured in Mr Hawdon's 1300 acres a farm more compact and handy on which they can concentrate their energies. The Wheatstone farm goes into the hands of Mr W. H. Ford, of Ealing, and the Haka tere reserve into the hands of Mr G. W. Leadley. The Toi-Toi^ property, mean while, remains with the Mawson Bros. As has already been stated, the Maw «on Bros. ■ Wheatstone neighbors gave a valedictory supper in their honor. There is no hotel in the Wheatstone district, — the last one died of starvation—so that the most central homestead was; selected at which to hold the festivity, and what homestead more suitable than Mr Small's. Mrs Small and Mrs McConnell of Wheats tone, tookcharge of the preparations, and for the result let the appreciation of 60 or 70 well pleased guests bear testimony. Mr T. Taylor, of Ashton', was chairman, and Mr James' Croy,' also of Ashton, was croupier. After full justice had been done to the viands, and the cloth removed, the Chairman gave the-usual loyal and patrio tic toasts, and then proposed the health of "the guests of the evening." In doing so ,he said he had known the Mawson Brothers for many years, and during the eight-years they had been in the Wheat- Btone district they had been good neigh bors, shown themselves to be good farmers, •teady and industrious, helpful in the district ill every way, and ever ready and willing to take a hand in furthering all charitable, educational, and religious movements. He regretted their going, but he was glad to know they were only going fifteen miles away, and fifteen miles' distance would not distroy their interest in j the«district of their first Ashburton settlement. Complimentary speeches ■were also made,by the croupier, Mr John Small, Mr John Gilmour, and others, after which dancing began in Mr Small's well-knpwn "cheese room" and was kept up with, unflagging spirit until nearly daybreak. ■ ,

TEN MONTHS' SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL.

There is an old saying that physicians are a class of men'who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of Which 1 theyi know less. This is both true and untrue at! the same time. .There are good and poor lawyers,, and good,and poor- doctors. ,[> Thel trouble with .these medical gentlemen asa; profession is that they are,clannish and not ' fore pay, by their frequent, failures, the penalty of'refusing instruction, unless tlje , teacher bears their oAyh " Hall Mark.'' ' Ail'eminent physician—Drßrowri-Seq'iiard,. of Paris—sta+-:- +'r- ■* r-vr.'- }\ whenhe says :• " The :i < -i' '. i. »• - ', i vi' so boiind ,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. 'Donaldson' Line sailed from Glasgow for TV-.' A5"---;v v,i 1*"»7. v'rv!-.' - on board as afiie ■i. iv .'. ""i i': 11 ■'.'•'■ :' . Wade,.of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and •India. He had borne the hard, and exhausting labor, and had been healthy and strong. Qn the trip we now name he began for the first foine to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heartburn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at work he had attacks of giddiness, but supposed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sicl^and' felt like; vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grew worse, and when tke ■*' 'i> . ■ ■.■ ]IT "fax he was placed in .the, \:-;-■::.: •.« ■■»- s i Hospital, and ' the ship sailed away without him. The house, surgeon gave,him some powdei'S to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture'to take every four hpurs. 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, wlio was to be visiting physician for the next five months. He gave other medicines, but hot inucb, relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture; he digested nothing' throwing up all he.ate. 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 nours, powders, one after each meal to, digest the food, operating pills one every night, and temperature pills two each'night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Richard had an idea that he took enough to doit. But on the other hand pleurisy set in and Hit doctor, 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 physiciansh The new. one gave/Wade a mixture whica he said made him. tremble like a leaf on.,tree. I At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to stand any more dosing,. and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them;

ByVthis time a cup of milk would'iurn soiir on 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 communicated it to the press. He says: " When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and tallied 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, without consulting the doctors, and !?i mihj a. few days' time X -was out of bed calling for ham and eggs for hrcalifast. From that time keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon ahle 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 drajr his own conclusion. We deem* it boat to use no names although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address, is No 244, Stobcross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach him.

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 useful, drugs. To what rast dimensions pill taking has grown , may be -•,.-..-.. 1 .-■ ... r . r T a y*that in England alone -■ ■.'.■■ ■,' -y ' (two thousand million) pilla are consumed every yeur. In early days, pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand Avas comparatively small. To day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especially contrived for' the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various'ingre,"' dienta employed : .'; ■ - > I No form of medication can be bettei ■* lian a pill, provided only it is intelligently pre pared. But 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. Most of thorn either under shoot 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 one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pains in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure his bowels are constipated^ and his liver sluggish. I To remedy this Unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by simulating the'

liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digestive organs of the accumulated poisonous ma,tter. ■'.  y i 'A ' v •, f •< But the gbocl 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 lie-disease, itself. .Thegrimng caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they contain, , Such pills are harmful, arid should never Jje used., They sometimes eteri 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 v White, Limited, 35 Famtigdpn'Eoad, London, arid, now,sold by all chemists'arid medicine vendors, as th only one we know of that actually possess every desirable, quality. They remove the pressure upon the brain, .correct: the4ivar, and cause the bowels' to act .with' ease and egularity.
