France in the Pacific.

« By the Taupo, which has arrived at Auckland from the Islands, news was re ceived yesterday that the trouble between the French authorities and the natives of Raiatea is still continuing. Keoently the islanders ereoted a flagstaff and hoisted the British flag, ata ing that they still adhered to their resolve not to oome under the French protectorate. A French man of-war took the British Consul from Rapeete to Raiatea to counsel and advise the natives they could not fly the British flag nor could they receive auy protection from the British. The natives, however, continued firm, saying that they looked upon Queen Victoria as their mother. The end of the matter was tha^ the flag staff was shot down by the grins of the warship, bub the natives, nothing daunted soon had another flagstaff erected,, and when the Taupo left the island there were three staffs from which the. British flag was displayed. The French authorities are now keeping » strict surveillance over the island and are endeavouring to subju gate the natives by a starvation process.

A CLEAN CUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION,BOLDLY EXPRESSED

— ♦ It ii for this reason that an assertion like the following sticks up above the dead level of our stupid talk, and becomes noticeable s * When I Ba.w how pale. I had grown, I said to myself, it was because something had gone out of my blood.' There ! that is a statement with the seeds of an idea m it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the rest of the letter which contains it. y. I In December, 1890, says the writer, ' I fell into a poor state of health. I was tired, languid, and weary withbut any apparent cause. My appetite left me, and all food, ever the lightest and simplest kinds, caused me great pain m the cnesb and stomach. .When I saw how pals I hdd grown I Mid to myself it was because something had gone out of try blood. . ! ' ' Then my sleep wai broken, and night after night I scarcely closed my eyes. It .wasn't long before I became so weak and dejected that I took no interest m things around me. I was so nervous that common soundsannoyed and worried me; even the noises made by my own children m their t&lk and at their play. 'There was a disgusting taste m my mouth; it made.me siok, and often gave me a shiver ing sensation all over. When I Baw others eating and enjoying their meals I felt as though it were a strange thing % m a way I wondered how they could do it. For myaelf I could eat Jiardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it, as one turns away from smells or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone knows that without sufficient food the body languishes and weakens. And such was the case with me as month after month went by. * During all this time, so full of pain and discouragement. I was attended by a doctor who did what he could to relieve me, bat without suocess. I do not say he did not understand my complaint j for may he nob have' understood it without having the means of curing it. The answer to the lady's question is : Yea easily enough. All intelligent, studioua doctors ' understand ' consumption, cholera, cancer, etc., without (as yet) having the means of curing them. There is usually a wide gap between the discovery of ; % want and the way to supply it. - ' I will now,' continues the letter ' tell you how I came to be cured. In April, 1891, 1 read m a small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrup. The book said the Syrup was a certain remedy for all diseases ot the stomach, indigestion m every form, and dyspepsia ; and it also said that most of the complaints we suffer from are caused by that. On looking over the symptoms des cribed m the book, and comparing them with my own, I saw plainly that my ailment was dyspepsia, \ > ' We aent immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after taking it a few days I began to feel better. In a very, short time, by keeping on with the Syrup according to the directions, I could eat without) pain or dißtreßß, and digest my food. I also slept soundly and naturally. Then my strength came back and with it the color to my face. In short, after a few weeks use ot Mother Seigel'a Syrup, I was hearty and strong as ever. And I should be indeed ungrateful if 1 were not: willing tliafc others should have the benefit of thy experience. You are therefore free to print my letter if you think it will ba useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Truran, Marton, Lincoln, April 21, 1895.' I simply desire to say to Mrs Truran that her idea about) the blood is a perfectly correct one. All our food (the digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and m that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gets thin and poor (lacking m nourishment), we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the cause of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or dyspepsia. How easy thii is to understand when once you get hold of the right end ot it. Mother Seigel's Syrup has the peculiar power to correct what is wrong about the digestion, and thus enables the di> gestive machinery to make good rich blood. Which is life and health and beauty. i" ... . l
