Wellington, August 27. At the Public Morals Commit tee of the Wesleyan Church the Rev W. Baumber, Chairman of the Wellington district, pre sided. General approval was given to the Licensing Bill now before Parliament, the following provisions being especially en dorsed :—The abolition of bottle, New Zealand wiac, and railway licenses; the provision of simultaneous local and national option polls covering all forms of license, and "the projection of localities where no licenses exkt by restricting the power of removal of licenses. Tbe meet ing felt that these provisions of the mea- Bure were thoroughly m accord with the last Conference. A resolution which was as follows was carried—"That this Conference, representing members and adherents of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, being convinced that the drink traffic is the cause of untold crime and misery, expresses the conviction that the ti«ne h»s now corns when a determined effort should be made to abolish it, and urges all its members and adherents to vote 'no lisense' at the coming licensing •lection."

PARLIAMENTARY

HOUSK OP REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, August 27 The House met at 7.30 p.m. LOCAL BILLS. The Riverton Harbor Board Em powering Bill was read a third time and passed, a hostile amendment being rpj°cted by 24 to 15. The Grey mouth Harbor Board Em powering Bill passed through Commit tee without amendment. M r Mitchelson asked whether there was any possibility of default on the part of the Board. The Premier said the Fill was abso lutely necessary m order to open up new co&l leases, and he thought suffi cient safeguards had been inserted by the Local Bodies Committee. The Waimakariri Water Supply Board Loan Bill, the Newmarket (Auckland) Hall Bill, and th« Inanga hau County Council Empowering Bill passed through Committee without amendment The Onshunga Cemetery Bill was under discussion for some time m Com mittee, and Mr Tanner, with the object of killing the Bill, moved that the Chairman leave the chair, which was carried by 22 to 11, the Bill being shelved. | •Mr Pinfcerton agreed to report pro gress on the Dunedm Public Abbatoirs Bill on the understanding that the subject matter of the BiU would be dealt with m a measure to be brought down by Government. The Bills which passed through Com mittee earlier m the evening were then reported, read a third time arfd passed. The Gisbofue Harbor Act Amend ment Bill, the Kaitangata Relief Fund Transfer Act Amendment Bill, the Hamilton Domain Empowering Bill, the Borough of Oamaru Leasing Bill, the Auckland Harbor Board Empower ing Bill the Mount St John (Auck land) Reserves Bill, the Eketahuna < emetery Reserves Bill, the Wellington Reclaimed Act Amendment Bill, and the Dnnedin Loan Conversion Pill were all fend a second time. Speaking on the Dunedin Loin Con version Bill, Mr^eddnn paid this was the ffrst measure of its kind m th« colony, and it would no doubt be followed hv others--, so that it was as well the Houau should know what Government •Wis doing m respect to it. The amount involved was a quarter of a million, and there was no doubt that Dunedin had made out a good case. Personally he should not oppose the Bill, because it gave relief and was going m a proper direction. He pointed out however that the Bill would increase the gross debt of the city, which would be paid out of sink ing fund as provided by the Bill. The question was whether there should ba a general measure giving power to local authorities or whether each dis trict should come before the House as occasion arose. All lh<* above Bills passed through Committee without opposition and practically without amendment, and were then pub through their final stages without discussion This cleared the order pap t of all the local Bills it contained, numbering sixteen. In moving the adjournment of the House, Mr Seddon said he must again compliment the House on the business transacted during the evening. The House rose at 11.15 p.m.

Lumbago, Sprains, Stift Jo nts, Bronohit s, Sore Throats, Chilblains Bruises and all Chest Complaints. Cupt, September 8, 1890. Mr Walker. Sir,- I have greit pleasure m testifying to the wonderful care effected on my knee by using your London Rheumatic Cure. I had suffered for three years, and spent a good deal m doctors and medioines, but got do lelief I waa obliged to w*!k with the help of a stick, and had given up all hopes of ever getting better. I *as unable to bend my knee, suffering great pain, which made me sometimf s faint. I eot ono bottle of tho LONDON RHEUMAIIC CUKE, and tb& fir t rubbing gave me such relief that I could leap for joy, and the day following I was able to walk without my stick and go about my work as usual. Ob, such a change ! I was suffering also with my wrists and hands, and was umble to sew or knit for a long time. I rubbed them well with the Cure, and can now do my sewing, knitting, and house work as fresh ac ever. It is marvellous! My neighbors ara astonished at me, and I advise them all to use the LONDON RBEUMATIO CUBE for all their complaints. You can use tbia as you please. Mbs Andrew Gabdher, Sefton, Ootober 21, 1890. I hereby bear testimony to the geat, relief I got by usiog the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE. I Was suffering terrible p'iin mmy shoulders with rheumatism, preventing me from working and sleeping.. I used one bottle, and am thankful to p;ay the pain has gone. I believe it is a "remedy everyone should have m their possession. I naver.had its equal. P. Bebbyman. Springbank, Moer.aki, Maroh 5, 1891. To Mr Walker. Sir,— I think it right to add my testimony to the wonderful effects the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE. I have suSere <? with chilblains for years. I tried everyth'n^, but never got dp ter. I tried the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, ana three rubbings completely cured me. lam thank* ful there is such a remedy, I advise every one to always have it m their house. You can make this publio if you wish. Fredk. Mitchell. Doyleston, January 8, 1891. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is marvellous. I had a very sore back, and was suffering with rheumatics, both of which bavo ben completely oured by its use. I hava al«o cured my neighbors of their rheumatism, sprain?, chilblains and core throats. It has no equal; everyone should u?e it. Mrs McCausland. Springbank, Moeraki, March 5, 1891. Mr Walker Dear Sir,—l can tesify to the wonderful cure I got by using the LON DON RHEUMATIC CURE. I was suffering badly with rheumatics m my bands and wristd ; the baok of my hand was badly dis colored. I rubbed them well with the Curo, and am thankful to tell you tuey are quite better. Thomas GlAncky. AsbburtoD, Oitober, 1893. Your LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE is a remedy worthy to be praised. I took rheu ms tio fever and waa a good while m the hands of the doctors ; at last it seemed all to lodge mmy ankle. I had to walk with a oiutch and stiak. The doctor at last advised me to go to Christohurch and get the foot taken off, which I objected to do. I got vary disheartened, as there seemed no ours for me. I heard of the LONDON RHEUMATIC CURE, and got one bottle, and. before it was done I was able to Jay aside my sticks and to resume business, and have bad no tremble since. It is a valuable remedy. I can highly recommend it, as I believe it has no equal. D. MACPHEB3ON. Ijower High Street, Ghristchuroh, May 1893 I have been a sufferer from Chilblains sinae a boy; my hands broke out every winter, and my feet ware so had that on Saturday nights I bad to fill my boots at the artesian axil stand m this tilt shutting time. I tried everything, but never got a cure.. waa advised this winter to try the LONDON RHEUMATIC CUBE, and to my astonish ment and delight, it healed my wounded hands, relieved my suffering feet, and for the firat winter I can remember kept me free from suffering. I can recommend it with all con fidence to those suffering with Chilblains. J W Bhuc Sold by all Storekeepers Wholesale Agent for (Je;;ony R. WALKER, Woolston Canal Reeerye.
