Press AaaooUtion—By Electric Telegraph,

WELLINGTON, June 29 At the first meeting of the Executive of the New Zealand Alliance, a request was read that the services of the Key *. vv. Isitt should be «ecured as lecturer for the Alliance. Mr Isiftt replied that in hia present Btate of health he could not, in jiwtioe to himaelf or the Alliance, accept any position which would involve an obligation to do a specified amount of work, lhe carried ab the late annual meeting, that the policy of the Alliance, in promoting the legislative euppreseion of the liquor traffic, without regard to the exigencies of party politic*, be rigidly maintained, was oon firmed. The present Executive of the Alliance holds its position under circum stances diffeiing materially from any that have hitherto prevailed. The proposals at thePalmerston North convention ,abt month were that a Consultative Committee should be formed, to consist of the Grand Chief (Templar, the President of the New Zealand ; Women's Ohrisfciaa Temperance Union, and the Executives of the six Prohibition Counoils existing in the colony, .to confer wi.h the Alliance Executive on all important matters. They also suggested that the Alliance Executive itself should be elected by the Prohibition Council Executives in the following proportions :-By Auckland 3, IWanaki, feawke's Bay and Wellington 3 Nelson 1, Canterbury 3, Southland 2, with an additional four delegates (to be specially elected by the Good Templars, Kcchabites, Sons of Temperance and Women a Umstian Temperance Union respectively. i-.nese were adopted ;by the Colonial Prohibition Council last "week, but with the added proviso that three additional members should be elected at the annual meeting o. the Alliance itself. In this form the proposal was carried at the Alliance meeting by a nine-tenths majority. Under its reorganises form the Alliance Executive, theietoie, represents every section of the temperaace party, as it is elected by the Council Execu tive, which in their turn are elected by delegates from all the Temperance Societies, and from such churches as are in sympathy with the prohibition movement.

INFLUENZA AND RHEUMATISM COMBINED.

terrible experience of a Canadian farmer

SUFFERED MUCH PAIN—WAS DR SPONDKST AND EASILY TIRKD —SPF.NT MUCH MONF.I ON V4MOUS MEDIOLNKS BEFORE A CURE WAS FOUND.

The after effects of inflaerjz\ and rheu matibm ia aconV-ina ion well calculated to make any life miserable. Inline? z* weak ens the whole nervous system,, fn qaently leaving the victim with a contain feeling of depression, fickle appetite, heartache, heart palpitation and a feeling of exhaus tion as the result of the slightest ex«rrinn- j As a cure for the depressing af'.er effects of influer.z*, Dr Williams' Pink Pills hay- j mefc with more marvellous success than , any other medicine known to science j They act directly npon the blood and : n«rves, renewing the on and fistyfying j the other, thus driving disease from the system. Among those who epe»k in grateful terma of the wonderful curative powera of Dr Williams' Pills, is Mr j William Carrol!, of Fydney, Manitoba, j Canada. Mr Carroll has been a sufferer from rheumatism to a considerable ex'.ent for upwards of twenty years, and »o add to his suffering for two successive winters he was attacked with influenz* in all its j severity, and was left in a weak and dcs- | pendent condition. Mr Carroll _ says :- ; 'Following the second attack of influenzi j my whole eysrem was so weakened that it was wit h difficult y I could do any woi k Jn this condition I was an easy prey to toy old em my, rheumatism, and I suffered the agony cf its pains in almost every bone in my body. I dt clorert a great deal, but without any beneficial results, and I spent seventeen dollars for one medicine largely advertised as a cure f>r rheumatism, without the least benefit. I naturally felt despondent, and thought the trouble h<»d fastened itself upon me in permanent form. I had read so much of Dr Williams' Pink Pills that I at last determined to give them a trial. I can't say thatl felt anything in the way of beneficial results until I had used the third box, but at that juncture the encourage ment was so great that I determined to continue the treatment, and I used the Pipk Pi'la throughout the winter, con stantly gaining in strength. W hen spi ing arrived I found my self better than I bad been for years, every vestige of rheuma tism had disappeaied, and although ten months have now passed since I took the lm> pill I have not had the slightest re turn of the trouble. I therefore think it Is but right thatl should make known the good that I hay« received from the famous Dr "Williams' Pink Pills, and I hope my experience may be the means of putting some other sufferer on the road to renewed health.'

There is no disease due to an impover ished condition of the blood, or shattered nerve foroes, which Dr Williams' Pink Pills will not cure if giv. n a fair trial. With the approach (f winter Dr Williams' Pink Pills ought; to be used by every person In the land, as they purry and enrich the blood, gjve strength and t one to the whole system, aud w^rd off all possibility of disease. The gernine Dr Williams' Pink Pills can only be had in boxes, the wrapper aronnd which be*rs the trade mark and words, ' Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People.' Pills colored pink offered in any other form are worth less imitations, and should be refused, no matter what the dealer who tries to aell them ra^y say. Dr Williams' Pink Pills have cimd more than five thousand e^ses, bea;dea Iflt Carroll, of locomo'or ataxia, nervous exhaustion, rheumatism, sciatica, mus cular weakness, depression, loss of appe tite, palpitation of the heart, h- adache, early decay, paralysis, and locomotor ataxy; also all diseases arising from Impoverished and vitiated blord. (such as scrofula, rickets, Sb Vitna' dance, and chronic erysipelas, pale and sallow com plexion, ai {«mia, wasting diseases like consumption, and the ailments of'a'Hs. These Pills »re not a purgative medicine They contain nothing that will injure the most delicate system. Theji are sold by chemists, or sent (post paid) by Dr Williams 1 Medicine Co ; Wellington, N.Z ; on receipt of price In tramps or post orde--, 3s p°r bos, or Jss 9d per one half-dtzjn.

I Sixty years ago the crimps had it much their own way in most of the large seaports in England. It waa the usual thing for foreign-going crews to leave the docks in a state of intoxication, often so helpless aa to endanger the navigation of their ships. This rarely happens now, save occasionally to individual firemen and sailors. As many as 7300 seamen took the total abstinence pledge of the Missions to Seameu lust year ; and whole crews of total abstainers are frequently met with. , Holioway s Ointment and Pills.—These world-renowned remedies are confidently recommended to miners, navvies, and all who have to work underground or where noxious atmospheres exist. The minute particles of coal or metal which permeate the air in such places tend to block up the iungs and air tubes, giving rise to bronchitis, asthma, and palpitation of the heart. In Holloway's remedies will be found a safe and easily used medicament {for the penetrating properties of the Ointment relieve the local congestions and the mildly laxative effects of the Pills cause tlie liver to act freely, and the breath to become unemb&raßsed. By early resort i to these remedies many a aerioua illness may be averted, and 6oundneaa of health main tained. I

"THE LADY'S LAST STAKE." THE above heading haa no reference to gambling whatever, either in the way of playing a quiet game of w.hist for penny points and threepence on the rub, or of wagering a pair of four-button gloves on fche four-oared senior outrigger championship. It is the title of an old comedy by Colley Gibber, ia which the heroine apostrophises her leapoi; as follows :— v Tea ! thou soft, thou sober, sage and " venerable liquid ; thou female tongue " running, srnile-soothingi heart-open " ing, wink-tippling cordial, to whose "glorious relish I owe the happiest " moments of my life, let me fall " prostrate.' This invocation was somewhat high-flown, but the same ideas flow through the minds of thousands of women of New Zealand when they reflect on the health, economy, comfort, and* satisfaction which has been their lot i since Suratcjra Tea was introduced. The testimony of the people cannot be disregarded or ignored. Suratura holds its high reputation because its " Strength," "Flavour," and "Quality" never vary. It is grown, not made ; it is not blended with India or China teas ; and the gardens where it is produced are noted as being less subject to climatic changes than any other in the tea-growing zone. Hence the superiority and unchanging merit of SURATURA TEA. JOHN ORR__.& GO., Agent".
