THE PREMIERS' CONFERENCE

r United Press Association—By Eleotri - 1 Telegraph—Copyright Sydney, January 26 The Premiers' Conference discussed the question of the Pacific Cable. The French press are urging a settlement regarding the fate of the New Hebrides. The statement that Australia ia not less hostile towards the French and deeire to annex the group was ridiculed. A resolution was adopted intimating to the Imperial Government that oppo sition to the French annexation has io no way diminished, and expressod their earnest hope that no steps ehouid be taken to give France a greater control unless the Australian Governments were first consulted.

HOW NEWSPAPERS STIMULATE ACTION

A NOTABLR I'X\MPLE.

The great fffiCb newspaper reading has upon most of us is g"net<*ily more or less acknowledged, but now and agaia an inci dent occurs which vividly shows how people's actions are ii fluenced by advice or informa tion found in a paper. An instance of this has just happened at Chudleigh (Tae). Miaa M. O. Carter, a resident of that town, and a daughter of Mr VV J Carter, of the State School, Gordon, hae had her whole life changed through reading a paper. Her career ia exceptionally interesting. When she first came to the colony in 1896, al- ] though 14 years old, she could scarcely j walk, and had to be helped along by her | mother; When ehe was only fiva she had ! an attack of yellow jaundice and St Vituu' dance, and a lump appeared on her back which gradually grew larger. She tried several doctors, but received no benefit from them. The twitching of her face and fingers waa painful to witness, and the jtundice made her appearance most distressing to her relatives, who did everything to assist the poor girl. Several dootora treated her without success, and she was toid she was j suffering from Bpinal trouble and heart disease. She tried many remedies, but did not meet with success. Still she did not despair, and iv '97 he read in a newspaper an account of a cure which had beeu pet formed by Dr William*' pink pills. She procured some, and after using several boxes ehe completely regained very good health. The family, as may be ima gined, have ever Eince been most pleased with the success which at tended the use ol Dr. Williamss' pink pills, and they are strong advocates of this reliable medieice. Miss (Jartet'a complains first arose from a rpinal trouble. It. is well known that <©r. Williams' piuk pills have a direot tonic action upon the spine, blood and nerves, and that is why they are po auooessful in curing many apparently different diseases such as rheumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, pneumonia, consumption, enteritis, nervcus prostration, peritonitis* debility, anemia, after tffeota of influerzi, fevers, etc. Sold by chemists and storekeepers, and by the Dr, Williams' Medicine Cj., Wellington, N. Z-, three shillings per box, six boxaa six teen and |aixbei\ce, peat free. Full list of out cures in any c jlooy will be sent post free upon application.

kk tt ITADATIO THE GREAT HERBAL REMEDY, ANOTHER GRRAT TROJMPH CVfiß "HYDATIDS'i A grateful Patient givet unsolicited and valuable testimony to the efficacy of this treat Herbal Kw-'lv. Read oarefuily and inve«'(gafce for yourself. 29 Paokingston ft., St. kilda. Mr S A Palmer, Vitadatio Institute, Bourke it Sir,—As I consider Webben' Great Herbal Remedy, "Vitadatio," has been the fold > means of saving my life I think the least I l can do ie to hm.d you this testimonial, so that others Buffering the same as myself may know that them is a certain reliable cure for them in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The s mple facts of nw case are as follows:—For the past 10 yean I hays been under the treatment of doctors in Fitiroy and vS\ Kilda, as well as some of the belt in Collins street Some were of opinion that I [ was suffering from consumption, whilst ; others stated it was pleurisy. At any rat* they could give me no relief, let alone ours i me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day X noticed an advanced cure by "Webber's ! Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I would eive it a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two large bottlea, I felt after better, and continued the medicine. By the time I h»d taken eight bottles I wai wonderfully recovered, bub one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy I matter, which was afterwards examined by I the dootor, and pronounced to be HyHatida. I cod tinned to vomit thwe "Hydatids" for some time, but at last it died away This natura'ly left me weak, but I continued with th? " Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, unttf to-day I can honestly state I have never felt better in the who* of my liff. I consider " Webber's Vitad»t!o" a mirac;e woiker. lam well-known in ? jfi!B'-oy, and there are tnar.y others jus' as much aM crushed at my cure a» lam I Khali be pleased to spenk to anyone and give them my own experience of the vorth tit ♦• Webber's Vitadaiio." You are nt perffCfe liberty to make what u»e you like of this testimonial. I may add I am now Rbla to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for years.—-Yours very gratefully, Mtp) CARRIE BO' KING Witness—G E Richardson, 19/9/99 VITADATI•» H * TRULY V* OtfDER.
