Australian Politics.

JBEW M»VTiift WAKES

Sydney, November 8 in the Legislative Assembly the Federal Enabling Bill passed through Committee without material amend ment.

j In the Legislative Council Mr Garran, in moving the third reading of the Land and Income Tax Bill, said Government did not acquiesce in the | more important amendments, more especially the exemptions in the Land Tax and the alteration as to mortgages. The Bill as it now stood was a half and half measure, with more income than land tax about it. The Council had fundamentally altered the Land Tax, so that it now missed the big land holders. The Bill was read a third time by 20 to 15 and passed.

SANDER AND SONS'



WHAT EMPEROR WAS THIS — ♦ He was one of the greatest monarchs that ever ruled in Europe* He was always at war, yet—but wait; let us take one thing at a time. He was an enormous eater. He break fasted at five oi| a fowl seethed in milk and dressed with sugar and spices; After this he went to sleep again. He dined at twelve, always partaking of twenty dishes. He supped twice ; first early in the evening and again about one o'clock—the latter the most solid meal of the four. After meat he ate a great quantity of pastry and sweets; wash ing them down with vast draughts of beer and wine. Then he would gorge himself on sardine omelettes, fried sausages, eel pies, pickled partridges, fat capons, &c. Finally he abdicated, did this omnivorous Emperor, and a friendly courtier thus described the power that compelled him to do it. " 'Tis a most truculent executioner," said the orator; "it invades the whole body from head to foot Ifc contracts the nerves with anguish, it freezes the marrow, it con verts the fluids of the joints into chalk and pauses not until it has exhausted the body and conquered the mind by immense torture." He was crippled in the neck, arms, knees, and hands, and covered with chronic skin eruptions; while his stomach occasioned him constant suffering. He was a wreck at an age when he should still have been active and vigorous. This ia nob fiction, it is history ; without a syllable of exaggeration. How many of our readers will write and tell us what man this was ? A thousand, no doubt* Alack-a-day ! however. Not kings and emporors alone are thus afflicted. Great hosts of us travel the same road. We are not usually gluttons as this royal gentleman was, but people who eat sparingly often have the same malady. Commonly they inherit a tendency to it. On the level of this dreadful disease the rich and the poor, the great and the small, meet together. Speaking of an experience of her own, a woman says :—" My hands became stiff and numb. There seemed to be no feeling in them, I was so crippled that I could pot even cut a round of bread. A little later ifc attacked my legs and feet, the soles of the latter being very tender and sore. The pain was so .severe that I often sat down and cried on ascount of my sufferings and my helplessness, i aae'd rubbing oils and em brocations, but gGt m> relief. In this way I went on month after month, never expect ing to be well again. I felt the $rsfc signs of illness in February, 1889. At first I had .merely a bad taste in the month, bo appetite, Mid was low, tired, and languid. Following tJnis came the agonies of rheumatism, ftS I ha-ve f&id. I owe my recovery to a sugges tion of my husband's. He advised me to try Mother iseigel's Curative Syrup, and got me a bottle from Mr W. Simpson's, in North stree*-. After taking ifc for a fortnight my hands got their right feeling, and I suffered no more from rheumatism nor from indiges tion and dyspepsia, which I now understand to be the cause of rheumatism* From that time to this I have been in the best of health. Signed Mrs Elizabeth Ann Cook, Southwell Lane, North street, Horncastle, Lincoln shire, February 1, 1893, In the year 1879, writes another, rheu matism attacked me, one Joint after another. The pains were all over me, although the worst was int one knee, For two years I suffered with it —the doctor's medicines doing no good. In 1881 I read in a little book that rheumatism was caused by indi gestion and dyspepsia, and that the true cure for it was Mother Seigel's Syrup. This proved to be true, as after taking three bottles I knew no more of stomach disorder nor rheumatism. I have since recommended this wonderful remedy to hundreds of persons. (Signed) (Mrs) E. Schofield, 10, West Hill, Southampton Street, Reading, October 26, 1892 The great Emperor was driven to abdica tion by rheumatism and gout, caused by his ruined digestive powers. His outraged stomach {Hied him with poison from top to toe. Yet he never lost his appetite, which was all the worse for him. Not long after wards he died, having asthma and gravel, with the other consequences of dyspepsia. But one needs not to be a gourmand to have i dyspepsia, with its trailing troubles. Any one of fifty causes may provoke it. Watch out for the earliest symptoms and arrest them at once by uaing the Syrup. Ifc stops the mischief on the spofi wnere it begins, ', and then purifies the blood j By the aid of common sense and Mother Seigel the Emperor might have stayed on 1 his throne, might he not?
