The A.M.P.Society.

Sydney. Aognat 29 I At a special meeting of the A.M.P. I ■ Society to consider the report of the \ Coafniittee appointed at the lastj annual meeting to make certain' ""• amendments m the by-laws, the Chair - man stated that the amendments sub mitted to the meeting were unani mously agreed to by the Committee after consultation with the representa tives of each of the local Boaicta • throughout the colonies. Included m the amendments as first submitted by the Committee was a proposal to enable the Society to establish and maintain a business m London, but as it was not arrived at unanimously, the Board thought it better not to submit it to the membew. He might tell the meeting, on behalf of the Board, that if ever sach a proposal was submitted it would be m such a way that nothing would interfere with members m giving a clear vote with regard to that matter alone. The amendments, with two' exceptions where a majority was m favour of them but a ballot was demanded, were carried unanimously.

THEY WONDERED TO SEE HIM

« 1 1 oould not move a yard without help, can now walk for miles.' There is certainly a very sharp contrast between these two statements: When we see a person who, beoauae of illness, is unable to _. move a yar 3 without help, we do not expect ► to meet him on the road and on foot mileß from home, soon thereafter; if iudeed we meet him at all. At least we should regard these extremes, considered bb . within the — "experience of the same man, ahd enoloaed within a comparatively brief period of time as something to wonder at and BBk questions about. Many said the oiroumsiauoes recalled the age of miraoes. supposed to have passed forever away. The faots (briefly set forth m a letter from the imn himself) are as follows. We may add that Mr Henry Jaokson is a farmer, well known and respected m his dis trict, and his oaae is familiar to neighbours t and friends of his throughout the vioinity. I • In the early pan of i 892,,' says Mr Jack ) eon, ' I began to feel weak and ailing. I was low m spirits, and my bodi y strength seemed to be leaving me. There was a bad and naseous taste mmy mouth ; my appetite, whioh had always been good, failed until I k had no real desire for food whatever, and after eating I had|muoh pain at the cheat and f* & fulness around the sides. My stxnaoh [ always felt burning hot, and I had a gnawing |j___pajLn at the pit of it. !' I remainediin tbis general condition until  August of the same year, when I waß taken I worse. My legs began to swe'l, and I rheuma'iem set m all over tup, more parli [ oularly m the hips and buck. No local ! treatment had any effect upon it. It grew worse and worse,, until I was no longer able to rise from my ohair with- ut aßßistonoe, In train, I had no power over myself, and oould not move a yard, without hep. ' 1 suffered bo with mere pain that I oould not lie m bed, and for over twelve months! never had my olotb.ee off. 1 Dudng this time I was attended day and night; being literally unable to do anything of import anoe for myßclf. All the Bleep I got Wis taken m naps and snatches while I was bolstered up m my usual place m: an easy chair. Under the terrible strain of the pain and loss of proper rest, my nerves broke down so that any uncommon event m the houRO or noise was more than I oould bear. My heart was very bad, and thumoed until T could scarcely Btay m the chair an: endure it ."'.,- -* Tne dootor who had charge of my oaee Bftid my condition was oritioaj. fie said that my lungs end liver were b.dly affected, and >r- thatlhtd Bight's disease of the kidneys. S ill his medicines did me no good, and afte- attending me ten m-n'.bs he eaid he oould do no more for me.' ' I Iheo got a dcotor from Bolton to see me. and he held out but B'enSer hopes of my evfer - . Retting any belter. I thought the same, acd SO did all who saw me* 'In Ootober, 1693, my daughter, Mrs a- Diokio3Dn, of Bolton, tolci ma how she had been benefi.ed by taking Mother Seigal'e Curative Syrup, and thought it might possibly help me. I had small faith, but there could be no barm m trying. Sp we sent at onse 1 to Mr Pare, the chemist, m Fold Bond, ' Bolton, for enough to decide whether it L would do me good or net.. After taking it 0 short time I was belter. I oould sleep better, and had rome appetite for food, and what I ate agreed with me. v Thia was h»pßfu and cheering indeed. •I kept on with ibo S rup and it-acted ' wonderfully with me. The worst symptcms 1 .abated, and I gained stranpih. Soon a!l the " w^ter m my legs pasted eff, and tho.rheu ma'ism troubled me but little. Stil) v iap ■ the 1 Syrup, myconduion continued to imp rovp m every ra^ptot, until I onoa more etood oi feet, ana" feJLUike a man of ibis world- 1 w&lk for'iniea and have do pain, friends think as I do— that under the, HRrcn ustanoes m^v recovery was notbing maivellons.\ V uare at liberty tc publish this 6totemen>, and refer any in'er eated persons tn m. (Signed) Henry Jack son, Fewett Hill Farm, Gulchetb, neat Warrington, Ootober*^ 1895.' No words of ours oan add to the convincing I force of Mr Jackson's plain stattment. Hit I disease was originally and radically of the dlgeßtioQ. The attack was Bharp and pro found, and developed into the resulting conditions he so well describes. He may not have had B right's disease, but that ht was direotly progressing towards that fatal malady there is no doubt. The tffeot oi Mother Seigel's Byrup m bis oase only serves to Bhow afreeh its rare and remarkable power. Boaroely is so great a victory to be looked for frcm any medicine. Yet tftfe faois are undeniable. We oongratalate Mr , r- — Jaokson on bis eso.ipj from 0 danger whiob wig ran oh more serious than even he pr obublj imfcinefl. ._,...__.■

A Northern contemporary, wrestling with the &ul'j- cfc of larrikinism, says : - This larrikinism shows itself on the street" In passing remarks on yonnp women aa they go by ; It maniftets its?ll <%t church services and fnterl;ainmen(B m miMbehaviour ; while, under the cover oi -■ — darkness, things are done which, it traced i I to the wrongdoar, w-«uld end m his beinp «p»nt to gaol for a short term. Young men are more fools than knaves. What they do is not because they are vicious, but because they are carried away with the  desire to have what they cair "a lark ' The spirit of mischief is uppermost. '

MR TANNER, M.H.R., spoke elo. quently m Parliament recently on Pomahaka oats, school books, and the price of. Tea. On the last-named subject he said : — "ft was all very well for Ministers and honorable members to claim before the general public the credit ofliaving reduce I the duty on tea 2d per Ib, He questioned whether any family was zd better off" m consequence of whit* they did last year, " While admitting that Mr Tanner may be an authority on oats and school primers, his sweeping assertion regarding Tea is contrary, to fact. "-It is admitted that. in the matter of ' blended teas it was m some cases alleged that no alterations would be made m price, but the difference would be given m quality. That may or may not have been done, but had Mr Tanner investigated the matter thoroughly, he would have found that BURA- TDRATBA was immediately lowered m price to the public by the amount oi the duty, and the quality of it being so firmly established, no doubt entered anyone's mind but that the reduction m price was a genuine one, and that the quality remains the * same. Suratura Tea is guaranteed NOT blended with Indian or China Tea. . JOHN ORR & Co., Agents. ONE WOITD, TOOME -to you with a small affair I that you may need. In England, the Continent, and many foreign countrie myself and .wares are well known Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, itß rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. I do not think it will be misplaced. I make the best form of cure — an absolute one — for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it- self, and yet its comfort to you is so great — twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes— that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Db Haydock's New Livek Pill. It is old m the market of Europe^ but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents.
