THE YOUNG MEN'S CLUB.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sib,—Your correspondent " Alpha" is vary hazy in regard to hie knowledge of Ashburton history. He aays that, some twenty-five years ago the Provincial Govern ment) gave toe local racing club the present racecourse. The Provincial Government did nothing of the kind. It set aside throughout the then thinly populated Canterbury many reserves for recreation purposes. What is now the r&oecourae was oke of them, no was the Ashburton Domain. The racecourse was vested by speoial Act of Parliament, passed in 1882 (long after the provinces had: been abolished), in six gentlemen as trustees, for the purpose of a racecourse. The trustees appointed under the Act,* and whose names are mentioned in it were— j Messrs John Grigg, William Graham Boss, Matthew Stitft, William Campbell Walker, Henry Thomas Winter, and Edward George Wright. It is from these gentlemen aa the Board of Trustees constituted under the Act that the Racing C ufa holds a lease of the ground. Your correspondent ia equally out of court in regard to the County Council and the A. and P. Association. Again, it was nob the C'»u ty Council but the Governor who vested'the old police reserve in the A. and P. Association. The reserve was cecr tainly firat vested in the County Council, bat at the time that was done the A. and P. Association members were undecided as to which aide of the river they uhould choose for the locale of the annual show, and ifc was 1 a generally understood thing that the reset ye, should go into the hands of the County Council, ia tiusu, as it were for j the Asaooution, when that body ahbuld come to a decision to make Ashburton the permanent fixture of their show. When that body did make up their minds to ask for a permanent nice th« Council yielded up its trust with good grace and bast wishes: That was all. As to gettiog the Council to give up its secretary's residence site, " Alpha" will pardon me for doubting his aeriousnees, but 1 am quite with him when he suggests getting his club house built on Baring square, although I uee no reason why the land should be given to this Club any more than a site should have been given to the Mutual School of Arts.—l am. etc.,

BILIOUSNESS AND CHRONIC HEAD ACHB CURED BY BILE BEANS.

A PERTH, WEST AUSTRALIA, CASE.

Mr George Nelson, of the firm of Nelaon, Moir and Co., General Contractors, of William and Aberdeen Streets, Perth, W A., states thab for years he suffered frcm loss of appetite and biliousness, as a result of which he regarded his life as a misery. He was a member of the Rechabite Lodge, and was on the sick list for mouthß, and con sidered himself as a burden. He was assisted bo take a trip home to Scotland, bub he found upon his return—twelve months later—that his health had not. improved iv any way. He obtained the best medical advice possible, aad took all kinds of medi cine in the hope of gaining relief, bub un successfully. Mr Nelson bells his story as follows: —

11 For,years I suffered from bUiousneso in •■; such a form as to make my life a perfect | burden. My existence was truly a wretched one, owing to the misery which I suffered from constant headache and morniiig vomit ing. I would not take any patent medicines, wiih oaa or two exceptions, aa I did nob have any faith in them. I happened one day to read that Bile Beans were calculated to cure affections such as I judged myse'f to be suffering from, and so I decided to try a box. With the first box I obtained relief, inch as I had not known for years, Beeing which I continued the treatment 1, and by the time I had used three boxes I was entirely cured. I always keep a box by me, though, as ia case any of the old symptoms exhibit themselves, I Bhall be prepered for them. I have recommended the Beans to my friendß, and, further than thab, as I was nob aware that they could be purchased in any parb of the world, I purchased several boxes here and sent 1 them home to my friends in Scot land. I consider I made the best invest ment of my life when I bought the Bile Beans. lam now in perfect health, and my work is a pleasure to me. I hope the publi cation of the facts connected with my sufferings and care will result in other sufferers beint* benefited as I have been. I shall be only too glad to give information pbnegreing my case to anyone desiring it. I pertainly believe that the Btfe Bsana effected the pure." Bile Beans are an undoubted specific for biliousness, siok and nervous headache, indi gestion, constipation, infiuen^, colds, piles, female weakness, pa'e-faced girls, irregu larities, bad breath, pimples, blotcheß, dizziness, all liver and kidney troubles, dyspepsia, heart palpitation, pain in back and side, fullness after eating, lack of physical tone, heartburn, and that tired feeling. Bile Beans are obtainable from storekeepers and chemists generally, price Is Hd per box. Australian Depob of the Bile Bean Manufacturing Co., 39 Pitt Street, Sydney.
