| CANCER CURED" ERIEF PARTICULARS OF A ! REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS- I TRICT. Fullest Information Sent on Application. Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con tractor, resident in Nelson street, Fetone, lias been ill for OVEJB TWO YEARS, with CANCER IN THE BOWELS. First six months had constant craving for meat, had to have meat at meals at least twice a day. i He says:—"Treated by two local doctors, at ' end of six months the doctors decided to put me under chloroform for examinntioa and operation. Placed on milk diet for three days previous, and wasted to a shadow. After examination it was decided to send me to the Wellington Hospital for operation. A hard lump or ridge had been growingl for some time at the upper part of the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling the lung of a sheep was passing from me daily. I was in the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, and under examination the doctors told Mrs Mexted that the trouble was cancer in the bowels, and was practically incurable. Was taken from the hospital in that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and in such a weak state they did not think I would reach home alive. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were in regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital as to the nature of my complaint, and stated they could do nothing for me. As time went on the doctors ceased calling, telling my wife that my case was hopeless and they could do no more. I was worn away to a skeleton, and daily passing the matter above referred to. My wife then tried various remedies and patent medicines, but there was not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of friends, 1 started taking PL ANTE KO A, and it was not for some time that even this seemed to make any impression, and I was almost giving it up in despair. However, while using the fifth bottle, the discharge gradually ceased, and I began to feel stronger, the hard swelling had almost disappeared, and I was able to get up and j ibout for a little. To the joy of my family md friends the improvement continued, until at the present time I FEEL SPLEN DID. Have been away during Easter |to Danevirke and Palmerston North for a trip, md have NOW BESUMED WORK, I jonsider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CUBED ME. I shall be oleased to answer enquiries by letter or otherwise.—Tours, gratefully, W. H. MEXTED. I can certify that I visited Mr Mexted in ;he Wellington Hospital, and I never ex pected to see him come out alive, and his | present condition astonishes me. Signed, W". Shilling, Pilot, Wellington Harbour Board. This is to certify that I conveyed Mr Mexted to the hospital in the ambulance, md two months later brought him home igain, and assisted to carry) him from the imbulance to his bed. Jas.

British Shipping London, June 13 Mr George Renwick, of Fisher, Eenwick, and Co., ship owners, Newcastle-on-Tyne, giving evidence before the Steamship, Subsidies Committee, said that Foreign Governments encouraged and fostered merchant shipping, especially by subsidies. British regulations harassed its own sub jects. Foreign ships ought to be treated in British ports the same as British. The suggestion to give British shipowners the entire coast, colonial and intercolonial trade, was infinitely better than the direct subsidy. He advocated the appointmeiit of a Minister for Shipping, and feared the Navy would be insufficient to protect com merce in war time.

The Federal House Monthly Supply Bill passed in all its stages, and during the debate the Government was badly heckled over the non-suspension of the fodder duties. Mr Fuller, in order to test the feeling of the Committee, and as an in struction to the Government to remit the fodder duties, moved to reduce the supply by one pound. Mr Deakin reiterated the pleas that the Federal Government was unable to act owing to the States not being unanimous in the demand for the suspen sion. If all had demanded it, the Government would have faced the difficulty and taken all the risks. Under the cir* cumstances it could nothing, but there were several ways in which the States could give relief. Mr Fuller's motion was negatived by twenty-two to seven.
