Dr Nansen's Return

THE NORTH POLE STILL

UNDISCOVERED.

A LUOKY MEETING.

London, August 15 Dr. Nansen was at Olenek river m September, 1893. He was unable to obtain farther dogs, and drifted north west. He was icebound until March 14, 1895, when he left his vessel, the Fram. All were m excellent health, but the thermometer was several degrees below zero. They obtained light by means of electricity, the power for which was generated by a windmill, which gave admirable results. Dr Nansen says that^the Fram resisted enormous pressure. Nansen and Johansen started north ward, \vfth twenty-eight dogs, three sjedgeß. and two panoes, and after travelling across rough ice reached the point, 86deg l^min, on April ?. There was then no sign of land or sea, but merely hammocks op the horizon resembling frozen breakers. Owing to {he shortness of the dogs they started for Franz Josef Land. Their watches had stopped, and for weeks they were without a reckoning. Gradually they killed all the dogs for sustenance, and- reached Northern, Franz Joseph Land on August 26. They remained there until May 19, when they started for Spitzbergen with sledges and canoes. All the party were m excellent health, In ' travelling they casually met with Mr Jaekwm on the ice on June 17 near Gape Flora. They v remained m Jack . son's quarters until the Windward's arrival. Gr-at scientific results are antici pated from this trip. The leader is confident that the crew is safe. The 'Walrus was wrecked m the northern regions; Dr. Nansen's canoe, too, had, a narrow escape:' lie asserts that if he had had sufficient dog^he would have reached the Pole.

The Tick Conference

The Tick Conference ha 9 decided that the pest is identical with Tex<»B fever, and has recommended that m view of the want of full and definite knowledge, the colonies interested should jointly appoint a Board of experts to make further enquiries and experiments, and that m the meantime steps be taken for a possible check to the spread of tick, and that Queensland should agree to absolutely prohibit the movement of cattle from infected or suspected zones; further, that there should be a joint reward offered of £5000 for an effective remedy. At the same time the Confer ence expressed the opinion that if hides were properly dry-salted there was no danger of transmitting ticks.

THEY WONDERED TO SEE lIIM

1 1 could not move a yard without help. I can now walk for miles.' There is certainly a very sharp contrast between these two statements^ When we see a person who, beoause of illness, U unable to move a yard without help, we do not expeot to meet him oh the road and on foot miles from home, soon thereafter; if indeed we meet him at all. At least we should regard these extreme?, considered as within the experience of the same man, ' atad enclosed .within a comparatively brief period of time as something to wonder at and ask questions about. Many said the circumstances reoalled the age of mirao'es, supposed to have passed forever away. The faots (briefly set forth m a letter from the man himßelf) are as follows. We may add that Mr Henry Jaokson is a farmer, well known and respected m his diß triot, and his case is familiar to neighbours and friends of his throughout the vicinity. •In the early pan 'of 1892,' says Mr Jaok son, ' I bagan to feel weak and ailing. I was low m spirits, and my bodily strength seemed to be leaving me. There was a bad and naseoua taste mmy mouth ; my appetite, whioh had always been good, failed until I had no, real desire for food whatever, and after eating I had'muoh pain at the cheat and a fulness around the aides. My stomaoh always felt burning hot, and I had a gnawing pain at the pit of it. ' * I remained m this general condition until August of the same year, when I was taken worae. My legs began to swell, and rheumatism set, mail over me, more parti? oularly m the hips and back. No local treatment had any effect upon it. It grew worse and worse, .until I was no longer ab!e to rise from my chair without assistance, In truth, I had no power over myself, and oould not move a yard without hep ' I suffered so with mere pain that I oould not lie m bed, and for over twelve months I never had my olothee off. •During this time I was attended day and night, being literally unable to do anything of import anoe for mystlf. All the sleep I got was 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 house or noise was more than I oould bear. My heart waa very bad, and thumped until I oould soaroely stay m the chair and pndure it ' The doctor who had oharge of my oaee said my oondition was oritioal. He said that my lungs and liver were badly affeoted, and that I had B right's disease of the kidneys. Still his medioines did me no good, and after attenoirg me ten months he eaid he oould do no more for me;

• I then got a doctor from Bolton to see ma, and he held oat but Blender hopes of my ever getting any better. I thought the same, and BO did all who saw me. 'In Ootober, 1893, my daughter, Mrs 1 Diokinson, of Bolton, told me how she had been benefited by taking Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and thought it mightpossibly help me. I had small faith,' but there could be no harm m trjing. So we sent at onoe to Mr Fare, the chemist, m Fold Road, Bolton, for enough to deoide whether it would do me good or net. After taking it a short time I wbb bet ter. ' I oould sleep better, and had come appetite for food, and what I ate agreed with me. This wbb hopeful and cheering indeed. • I kept on with the Sjrup and ii aoted wonderfully with me. The worst symptoms abated, and I gained strength. Soon all the water m my legß pasted off, and the rheu matism troubled me but little. Still v iDg the Syrup, my condition oontiDued to improve m every reepeot, until I onoe more stood on my feet, and felt like a man of this world, I osn now walk for miles and have no pain. All my friends think as I do— that under the circumstances my recovery was nothing short of marvellous. You are at liberty to publish this statement, and refer any inter ested persons to me. (Signed) Henry Jack son, Pewett Hill Farm, Ouloheth, near Warrington, Ootober 9, 1895. 1 No words of ours can add to the oonvinoing ; force of Mr Jackson's plain statement. His disease was originally and radically of ihe digestion; The aftaok was sharp and pro found, "and developed into the resulting conditions he so well deepribes. He may bot have had Bright's disease, but that he vfiß direotly progressing towarda that fatal malady there is no doubt. The effect of Mother Seigel's Byrup ifl his ease only serves to show afresh, its rare and remarkable pqwer. Hoaroely is so great ft vlotory to be looked lor ft cm any medicine. Yet the fao-8 are undeniable. We congratulate Mr Jackson on bis esoapa from a danger whioh was much more serious than even he probably imigiQed,

QUEENSLAND v. NkW ZEALAND,

FOOTBALL.

I Wellington, -August 15 The football match, Now Zealand y. Queensland, was played this afternoon m drenching rain, which continued the whole afternoon without intermission. The ground was m a wretched state, there being great pools of water all over the field. New Zea -1 land won the tosß, and played w ith a strong wind behind them. Queensland fairly well held their own for the- first- portion of the spell, but eventually both Keir and Pauling ' scored tries. The attempts to increase the scores were failures. Passing was out of tho question owing to the wet state of the ground. On ohanging ends Queensland, notwithstanding that Surman and Watsoa ( Taranaki) had left; the field owing to in juries, whioh left New Zealand with only thirteen men, had all the worst of the game, and McKenzie registered a third try, which was not converted. There was no further boo re, and the game ended New Zealand 0 points, Queensland wl. The attendance was about 1200, inoludiog a number of ladies. I
