Sydney, October 25 A deputation representing the Lon don Missionary Society, the Presby terian Church, the Wesleyan body, and others, waited on the Premier to-day to protest against the rumored proposal that France intends to annex """~the New Hebrides; and pointed out ! the injustice that would be inflicted upon missionaries already established in the group. The deputation informed the Premier that a second body o£ gentlemen, representing the conumer-1 cial interest, would also wait upon the j Government, at an early date, to put forth the ill-effects such annexation j would have on trade. Mr Beid, in reply, promised to submit the matter to the Cabinet, but he pointed out that lie had in a measure already answered the deputation by having come to a decision not to countenance or connive at any arrangement which would in jure the missions or colonial trade. Replying to a suggestion that the Imperial Government might act in dependently, the Premier thought it would not do so without consulting the colonies. Government, however, might consider it their duty to make a representation to the Imperial authori ties.

AVER'S SARSAPARILLA Purifies, Vitalizes, Enriches the Bloody Gives New Life, Health and Vigour. Mr. Alfred C. Jollifte, of Chranyjlle, So. Australia, whose portrait we give above, writes: 111 used Ayer's Sarsaparilla in England for years before coming to Australia. At times I was much troubled with boils and other eruptions of the skin, caused, the doctors told me, by the running down of rar system and general debility. The only medicine that has ever done me lasting good is Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which has always cured me—purifying my blood, and giving me new life and health and vigour. The wonderful success of Ayer's Sarsaparilla in purifying the blood and restoring health and strength to systems enfeebled by disease, or the enervat ing effect of a warm climate, has led to the placing on the market of other preparations called Sarsaparilla. Remember that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and be sure that you get AVER'S SARSAPARiLLA which has stood the test of time, has won the highest awards at the world's great expositions, and has been a blessing to the people of Australia, and all civilized countries, for more than a generation. No other medicine operates so effectually in removing general debility, languor, and all outward symp toms of tfce grave mischief caused by disordered nerves and impure blood.
