Trotting.

(PBKSS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM)

Dunedin, FebruAry 13 A deputation from the Tahuna Park Trotting Club inte:viewed the Colonial Secretary asking that three totilisator permits be granted for the next season instead of two, aa during the present year. Mr Carroll, in promising to take the ques tion into consideration, said ho was gad they had consulted the governing body, the South Island Trotting Association, and in the coarse of a conversational discussion expressed the opinion thai the Association ought, in the interest of tiotting, to have control. He was of the op'nion that if the Dunediu Jockay Club authorities would see him there would be little difficulty in softening down the ragged edges of the Association's demand, thus making the claim of the Association equitab'e, and in the best interesfs of trotting. He intended calling a conference at the end < f the season of racing and trotting people to settle the whole programme for next season.

Looking From the Lonely Rock

The island of St. Paul is merely a great rock in the Southern Ocean. It ia the top of a voloanis mountain. The nearest inhabited land is Australia or Africa, lo that agly and desolate refuge came a boat containing nine persons—two ot bhtm women. They had food—on short allowance, for perhaps a week. In less than three days they were half insane from anxiety. Water, water, water everywhere, bub no help. On the fifth day, at dawn, a brig hove to off the island. They saw her. Shouting, praying, weeping, they stumbled to the beach, and were rescued. It was one chance in a hundred. I'll tell you why some other time.

But, alas t isn't it aa bad or even worse on land? Look at the physical wrecks in homes, in hospitals, and answer me. One perishes of privation from shipwreck A thousand perish of privation in the mi 'st of plenty. It isn't food they loDg for. but power to use it—worst and deadliest of all, wants.

"My food seemed to give me no strength/ says one of this army of unfo - tunates, "and as the hopeless, starving days passed slowly by I grew weaker acd weaker. By-»nd-by my legs trembled and bent under me, and 1 could do longer get about. " The ailment which reduced me to this fearful condition began in the spring of 1892. At first I hardly recognised it for what we commonly call a disease. I felt tired, heavy, and languid, as one often does on the approach of warm weatber. I fancied it would pass away, but it did not. I lost my appetite, and only ate from habit and M> keep me going. I had no pleasure in it, and no warmth or glow followed it, as happens always when one is well. No matter how light and simple the repast was, or how careful I had been to select things that would not be apt to hurt me, the result was the same. No sooner had I swallowed it than my stomach was distressed, and my cheat and sides full of pain. If you will allow me so to pub i^, my food appeared to strike back at me, as though I had no right to use it.

" There was a nasty bitter flavor in my mouth, more or less headache, and a kiod of neryou'-uess, which was new in my exper ience, as il was depressing and cheerless, •' Home remedies failing to help me, I consulted a doctor, but his prescriptions benefited me no more than our domestic medicine 3 had done. My flesh and strength grew less, and I felt like one who has missed his way and looks in vaia for a guide to point the road home. "Finally I commenced attending the Leamington hospital, and continued to do so for twelve months, but thß treatment they gave me had no better effect than all the rest. You can hardly understand how weary I got of taking drugs. I turned almost with loathing from every new dose — not because of the ta^te, but because they deceived my hopes ; they were of no uae to me.

"In this state I was, when in March, 1894, a frierjd urged me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, On account of the very reasons I have mentioned, I hated to experi ment with any more medicines. But I over came this aversion (most fortunately for me) and got a bottle of Mother Seigel'a Syrup from Mr Juid, the chemist, in Leamington, and after .'aking it I felt a marked and great improvement I had no pain after eating and my food felt right, digested, and gave me strength. And as I grew stronger my nerves ceased to trouble me. I can only say that by the continued use of the syrnp I got better daily and wa"3 soon as vigorous and well as ever. I have had no relapse, and havo every reason to think my cure a permanent one. You are welcome to publish my letter. (Signed) (Miss) Lucy Eden, Tuchbrook, near Leamington, Sep tember26, 1895." We hope Miss Eden's recovery may indee prove permanent, and if it does she will find no words too strong when che sp aks of the remedy which wrought it. But oh, the vast multitude who still stand, like the ship wrecked people on the island, looking for rescue!—victims of that most obdurate, common and baneful of diseases, chronic dyspepsia. It is for their sakes Miss Kden kindly writes hfr statement, and for their sakes we print it. May it reach many of them I

He is said to have been in tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who cau describe a man's anger —controlled of course —where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, everything is lost through the horse falling lame ; and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The ' horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he epeak, would say, " I uttered no com plaint until forced ; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindneßS, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the personal care of xVIR KINGSTON. 2 17 WANTED Known—What the people say.
