THE BRUNNER DISASTER. m A Claim for Damages, (per press association.) Wellington, November 13. Certain matters relating to the Brunner disaster, arising out of a-daim for £52000 damages by the fa' her of two young men named Geoghegan, who were killed by the explosion, were argued m the Wellington Supreme Court, before the Chief Justice, to-day. The c aim is made by Geoghegan, • against the Greymouth and Point Elizabeth Railway and Coal Company. The motion ' made was one by the defendant Company for an order for an amendment of the statement of claim by consent. The terms of tho motion were so altered as to include the argument of certain questions of law before tie trial. Substantially what is asked is that the plaintiff should show definitely under what statutes he basis each head of his claims, and whab damages are claimed under I each head, and that plaintiff should elect whether he should proceed uuder the Coal j Mines Act, 1891, or the Emp'oyers Liability | Act.. The case will be resumed to-morrow. •ii .i ■ ■——■-■-» Fou Indigestion, the best remedy is un doubtedly Norton's Camomile Pills.

NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla. Read tlie following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above : "Some years ago,' I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so badly affected that 1 feared even to go from one room to another, on acoonnt of the strange ot>; s that appeared to flit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took his advice, and' am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best health -restorer that has ever been offered to the suffering masses."
