The Game LaWs.

+ : • The following notice respecting native aud imported game, extraoted from the Gazette of the 220 d ulb. is of special interest to sporting men ab the presenb time. The attention of sportsmen, game dealers, and others is called to the provisions of " The Animals Protection Acb Amendment Ac, 1889," and of " The Animals Probecbion _ob Amendment Acb, 1895," which are now in force* A digest of the chief of such pro visions is subjoined, v;z. :— '* The Animals Probeotion Acb Amendment Act, 1899" Section 4. No person shall kill, destroy or shoot ab any game or native game with anything but a shoulder gun, and no such gun musb exceed size No 10 at muzzle, or be fitted with barrels exceeding 36in In length.

Section 6 and Section 12 of " The Animals Probeotion Act, 1880," is repealed. No person can now sell game, or dispoße thereof for any gain or reward, unless he be the holder of a license to sell such game. Penalty not exceeding £20. J. Carroll, for Colonial Secretary.

Nature's Season for Pain

When one of Dr- Abernethy's patients remarked that ib give him g-eat pain to lift his hand to his head, the eminent physician responded that, in such ease, he was a fool for doing ib. The obser vation was both brutal and unprofessional The very fact that the acb was painful indicated a condition calling for medical treatment; acd to provide that, ii he could, was the doctor's duty. Still, one might gab on in comparative comfort withoub lifting his hand to his head, if tlut were the only source of pain abou*- him. Bub When a bodily operation which is absolutely indispensable to life, becomes constantly painful, the situafion is vastly more serious. And that was what happened to Mrs Emma Elwen, as related in her letter herewith printed for oar information. J,la the sprir.'g of 1889," she says, l'l bcg«i to feel weak and ailing. From be itig a strong, healthy woman, I gradually lost all my strength and energy. My appetite wav poor, and all food gave me pain " Bo good eoojgh for a moment to fix your mind on that statement. Naure has so arrang-id that all necessary acts or movements of the body Ehall be p unless, j if not distinctly pleasurable. Were i j otherwise, we should avoid them to the i extent of our power, and so produce ir.- ] calculable mischief. And, above all, tin act and const quences of eating were meant to be, and in health, are, one of the highest of our physical enjoyments. The lady having suffered from her food, their signifies a state of things unnatural and dangerous. " 1 had fulness and pain at the chesb,' she continues, '* between the shoulders and down my back. I had also a deal of pain at my side, and my heart palpitated so much that I got but little sleep or rest on account of it. My breathing was short and difficult I was unable to do any housework, and often wished I were dead." The words, '• I wish I were dead," are often on the Ups of the victims of whab seems bo be hopeless disease, and they are sad and chilling woids to fall on the ears of those of us who love them. They make us look despairingly around for the help which is so slow to come, and too frequently never cor»esatall. Is there then, no medicine which has power to save? 141 grew to be so weak," adds the writer, " thn I was from time to time confined to my bed, and ah other times had to lie down on the couch. I lost flesh lapidly, and was like a mere ekele ton- my clothes hanging upon me. For three years I Buffered in this way, no medicine that I took doing me any good, »«In February, 1892, the Rev. Mr Knfghb, of Bishop Auckland, recom mended me to take Mother Seigel's Cur?, tive Syrup. Acting on his advice I pro cared a bottle from the Co-operasive Stores at Bishop Auckland, and after taking it I began to improve. My appe tite returned, and food agreed with me, and I felt easier than I had done for years. The pain at my heart was less severe, and I gained strength every day. " Seeing this, I continued to use ibis remedy, and gradually I recovered my health, gaining three stone locight. Since that time I have kept in good health. My husband has also benefited by the use of Mother Kiegel's Syrup when suffering from indigestion. You are ab liberty to publish this statemmt as you like. (Signed) (Mrs) Em mi Elwen, Primrose Hill, Newlield, Wellington,near Durham, October 30th, 1898." If Mrs i.lwen were the only woman in the district wherein sha lives who had suffered in this manner, tho fact should excite the interest of the intelligent reader, bub bhere are mu'titudes of others all over the land, all over the world. Her ailment was nob heart disease, ib was nob any form of consumption, ib was nob rheumatism. Ib was dyspepsia-bhe disease thab counberfeits mosb others and has many of their most painful symptoms. Ib is idle to say that dyspepsia might be prevented, for we are nob yeb wise and careful enough to prevenb it. Someday we may be. At presenb, however, ie is Inspiring to know that Mother Seigel's Syr op cures it even in its worst stages Still, ibis better to cure ib when It first appears. Watch yourself, and use the ■ayrup on the day your food and you do not agree ■
