Mr T W Russell's Irish Land Scheme

On Jane 11th, Mr T W Russell, M.P, and Mr D Lloyd-George, M.P, were tbe guests of the members of the New Keforro Olub, and the Chairman, in proposing Mr RusseU'e health, said he was odo of the How independent politicians in the House of Commons, who were the salt of that exulted assemblyi At th*s time h3 was the life and soul of a movement in Ireland the importance of which was perhaps not ful'y recognised, but which before long would be found to contain within it the seeds of some very ex traordinary development. The task he had undertaken was a great one. It was no less than bringing about a final settlement of the land question in Ireland. (Applause). This wps, remarked Mr Scott, the first great land agitation which had been con ducted by purely Constitutional means j they had here for the first time Ulster ranged in line with the rest of Ireland. Nothing, in his opinion, could stop the success of tbe movement, aa it was based upon reason and justice Mr T W Russell, who waa loudly cheered on rising, said he had accepted the invitation of tbe New Reform Club because he was anxious to explain the movement in which he was engaged. The Eaglish Radical party had not shown any signs that it highly ap proved of the transaction. The English Radical party had never, h« asserted, helped a singlfl Land Purchase Act for Ireland, and therefore he took it that he was speaking to the unconverted. (Liugfafer.) The new land movement had tiken a deeper hold ci the imagin ation of the whole people than anything had done in the past century. Having shown how tremendously fche Irish land system differed from that of Eng land, and dealt with the finance of the question, the speaker Baid it was pro posed to issue Guaranteed stock for whioh there was good s°carity. Eng land had forced the landlords upon Ireland, and England was bound to see that the landlords, who were now over whelmed, obtained just treatment in any system of purchase. He believed the money would be well spent, and that by the carrying oat of his scheme much difficulty would be avoided, England had never appreciated the facts in Ireland as it ought to have done in matters of reform, He trust ed the movement that he had initiated, and which was being splendidly sap ported, would be conducted on Con stitutional lines—if it was nofc he would have nothing further to do with it. Personally he had the greatest hope for Its success.

Mr Lloyd-Oeorge, M P, gave a gene ral support to the scheme propounded by Mr Russell, but pointed out that in bis opinion the landlords were proposed to be dealt with in too liberal a spirit. He thought the Irish people ought to be allowed to govern them selves according to their own ideas, That was the crux of the whole Irish difficulty, and till Home Rule was given he feared there would be no real peace.

Why he Left the Water Trade.

Few men in Sydney have bad more experience in the water trade than Mr Edward Camming!?, of 128 Campbell Street, Surry Hills, Sydney. His ex planation of how he came to sever hie connection with the trade is somewhat unique ' Whilst doing outside work for Messrs Htnfrey & Co, the well known table water manufne'urers of IS Castlereagh Street, I got caught in a heavy shower,' said he, • and subse quently became a victim to rheumatic fever, First a sharp pain was notice able in my toes, for this ailment you know m»y attack any spot Then the pain extended to my feet and ankles, and two days later I ached all over, and was so weak and stiff that I could not raise myself in bed. My feet and ankles swelled greatly, and the pain round my heart and left Bide was ex cessive. It became bo acute that it was agony for me to move, and I could not bear to let my feet touch the floor. A skilful doctor attended me, but I con-. tinned to Buffer, Then sciatica and lumbago came on with sharp, shooting palna in legs and thighs ;. the- muscles of my loins also ached; Having heard of the good effect of Dr Williams' pink pills far pale people in such casps I wa\9 persuaded to take them. I was pleasantly surprised to £hd the third dose benefited mo, and before long the pains lessened a little. I continued faking the pills until I had used four boxes, by which time every symptom of my ailments h»d left me, and I was up and about, well and strong. Alter my recovery I told the doctor that Dr Williams' pink pills had cured me, end he said that he had certainly heard of Several cases in which they had been efficacious."

II is by enriching tbe blood and ton log up the nerves tbafe Dr Williams' pllik pills Ward off and cure so many apparently diverse ailments • they purify the blood and tone op the nenes, and remove the very foundations of disease. Thus Dr - Williams* pink pills care theumatism, neuralgia, bronchitis, con sumption, coughs and colds, anaemia, debility, premature decline, dyspepsia, Jntomnia, liver and kidney troubles, skin diseases, effects of influenza and levers, St Vitus' dance and nervous disorders—But mind you ask for Dr Williams.'

DEAR Sir, — For the last twelve months I have been completely tun down, s-fforln? from Nervous Debility, Extreme Weakness, and other ailments incidental to my sex. My condition was such I was quite unable to get about, or to do anything at all. When I heard of the great benefit other sufferers had derived from the use of Plantekoa. I procured a bottle, using it as directed, and the result was as gratifying as it was astoniehlhg. I became quite well again, and able to geb about as usual, I have much pleasure in sending you these few lines, make what you like of them. Yours truly, Mks J. RowS P.S.—I can also recommend Planeekoa as a good medicine for tha blood and strengthening the system Kaiwarra, February 21sfc 1901 Dear Sir,—Several months ago I had a very severe attack of inflaenzi, which left me very much run down, and hardly able to stand, or evee use my hands. My wrists and ankles were much swollen, and very | painful. Several things I tried without efiecb. A friend advised me to give Plantekoa a trial, which I did, and I am happy to say before I had finished the second bottle I was thoroughly cured, and I mey say I have felt no return whatever. I should like, also, to say a word for Plantekoa Ointment. My husband for a long time had badly cracked hands, (owing largely, no doubt, to the nature of his work;, which defied all efforts at heal* ing; but when we once tried Plantekoa Ointment, the effectwas wonderful.
