London, April 25 The Hon, Mr Ward, addressing the London Chamber of Commerce, denied that the Land Tax had been collected - early b cause Government was hard np. It was merely in order to avoid the needless issue of Treasury Bills. Moreover, the colony at that time pos sessed three millions worth of unpledged securities in London, two-thirds of which he himself forwarded at the time of the crisis in Australia in order to guard against an emergency. Re ferring to Government's action re the Bank of New Zealand, the Treasurer said Government was prepared to lose the two millions rather than risk a crisis in the colony He denied that the Advances to Settlers Act was a political dodge, and urged upon the Chamber the claims of the Pacific mail and cable services.

What Dr«Hiwß Mnv Come



la a recent lecture at, the Royal Institution, Dr. B. \\\ Richardson says that the sleep of health is dteaml<»p. "Lteams," says Shakespeare, ■" ai c eliildicu of an idle brain." If both the doctor and the poet are right it , follows that idle brains are unhealthy braina. No doubt there might be truth iv the in terference, but that is not quite the point. Are all dreams signs of a diseased condi tion? To this the doctor says "No." He divides dreams into two classes; those started by noises or other causes outside the sleeper, and those produced by pain, fever, or indigestion. Here we iDJecc a fact. We receive multi tudes of letters containing this affirmation, almost iv identical words: I was worse tired in the morning than when I went to bed. To this the doctor has an answer. He says. When we feel wearied in the morning very i likely it results ftoin dreams that we have ! forgotten. Quite so. ! In other words there is a bodily condi tion which may prevent a person from work ing by day at his usual calling, but obliges him to labour all night under a mental stimulus of which he knows nothing save by its resulting exhaustion. These unhappy wretches toil harder, therefore, for no com pensation, when they aie ill, than they have | to do to earn a living when they are well. What an infernal and frightful fact! And this too without taking into account their physical suffering at all times. Might, said Coleridge, is my hell. From one of the letters referred to we quote what a woman says of her daughter: ■She was worse tired in the morning than when she went to bed. Poor girl. Those forgotten dreams had tossed her about as a ship is tossed in a tempest. Night was her day of labour. The mother 8 simple tale is this : In June, 1890, my daughter Ann Elizabeth became low, weak, and fretful, and complained of pain in the chest after eating. Next her stomach was so irritable that she vomited nil the food she took. It was awful to see her heave and strain. For three weeks nothing passed through her stomach except a little soda water and lime water, Later on, her feet and legs began to swell and puff from dropsy. She was now pale aa death and looked as though she had not a drop of blood in her body, and was always cold. Month after month dragged by and she grew weaker every day. She could not walk without support, for she had lost the proper use of her legs, and her body swayed from side to side as she moved.



A doctor attended her for twelve months, and finally said it waa no use giving her any more medicine as it would do no good. In May, 1891, I look her to the Dewsbury Infirmary. She got no better there, and I thought 1 was surely going to lose her. She was then thirteen years of age. One day a lady {Mrs Lightoller) called at my shop, and seeing how bad my daughter was, spoke of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and persuaded us to try it. I got a bottle from the Thornhill Lees Co-operative Stores, "and she began taking it. In two days she found a little relief; the sickness was not so frequent. She kept on with the Syrup and steadily improved. Soon she was strong as ever, and has since been in the best of health and can take any kind of food. After he had taken the Syrup only two weeks the neigh bors were surprised at her improved ap pearance and I told them what had brought it about—that Seigel's Syrup had done what the doctors could nob do, ifc saved her life. Yours truly, (signed), Mrs Sirah AnnSheard, 19, Brewery Lane, Thornhill Lees, near Dewsbnry, October 11, 1892.



The inciting cause of all thia young girl's pitiful suffering was indigestion and dyspepsia, dropsy being one of its most dangerous symptoms. It attacks both youth and hge, its fearful and often fatal results being due to the fact that physicians usually treat the symptoms instead of the disease itself.



» A child's dream?, says Dr Richardson, are i-igns of disturbed health and should be re garded witn anxiety." The same is true of ihe dreams of older peop'e. They mean poison in the stomach and point to the imme diate use of Mother Siigel's Curative Syrup.

The latest number of the Nineteenth Century has an interesting article -, upon the dread scourge of DIPHTHERIA, and, in introducing the subject, the '■> writer remarks, that the latest epideniics in Russia swept away nearly all the '. children in some villages; and, in Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying in the age of from one to five years succumbed to Diphtheria, and the game proportion prevailed in Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken in the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux " and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera,Typhoid,Malaria and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally into and . upon which dairy and kitchen slopshave been thrown. Without an infection by ; i Bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is nodiphtheria. The Portable ; Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable in the direction of perfect ; sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source^ lof terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to the pig trough. ; or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds «f use, and they are so admirably constructed that, with them, a child can do \ work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is —- comparatively small Possession of one becomes an absolute means of " I sweetness, comfort and profit. 'IMPROVED COPPER BOILERS.
