Mr Seddon in England.

Thus "Civis" m the "Otago Daily Times" on the Premier's doings m Eng land : -In the cable record of Seddon Day by Day there may be read, between the lines as it were, a riuijgestion that Seddon m England is, as yet, not exactly booming. He has* made a speech that was rammed full of statistics. !N ow statistics m a speech are as smoke to tie eyes and as vinegar to the teeth. Nobody was ever exhilarated by statistics, or convinced by statistics j nobody could listen to statistics volleyed and thundered from the vocal orifice of Mr Seddon without inward revolt and mut tered anathema. Our Richard's first speech m short, must have been perilously near to a failure, and Richard himself, I infer, was somewhat off his chump. Possibly the truth had already dawned upon him that his advent will not eclipse m interest the Coronation, that his political weight was greater at the far end of the plank, so to speak, and that the prospect of the Seddon propaganda are not particularly rosy. An Imperial customs union, preferential trade with the colonies at the sacrifice of greater trade elsewhere—for this the British people I fancy, are " not on." Imperial federa tion, that is strictly a thing of the dim and distant future, an ideal to be " kept steadily m view. " Having absolute confidence Mr Seddon's astuteness, I expect him to see as soon as any other man how the cat jumps, and to adjust himself accordingly. We shall not near again of his thundering m columns of statistics, still less of his attemp ting to discipline Chamberlain and the Empire as he would a New Zealand Minis terial majority. His cue ie to rest on the glory of his ten contingents, open Ms mouth. and say nothing. It is late m the day to sigh for new worlds to conquer. The Coronation is a sort of Alexander's Feast, and, though he is not exactly the principal figure there, to him the couplet may be commended— Lovely Thais sits beside thee, Take the good the gods provide thee.

(iU.->i.\ ''■ ■■- .'. • ■■ r.'J . CANCER CURED. BRIEF PARTICULARS OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS TRICT. Fullest Information Sent on Application, Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con tractor, resident m Nelson street, Petone, lias been ill for OVEE 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. He says:—"Treated by two local doctors, at end of six months the doctors decided to put me tinder chloroform for exaniinntion 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 growing for some time at the upper part of the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling 1 the lung of a sheep was passing from me daily. I was m the Wellington Hospital two months. Was operated on, and under examination the doctors told Mrs i Mexted that the trouble was cancer m the J bowels, and was practically incurable. Was ! taken from the hospital m that condition, being taken to my home on the ambulance stretcher, and m such a weak state they did not think I would reach home alive. Waa carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were m tegular 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 1, telling my wife that my ease 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 wa3 not the slightest improvement, until, on the advice of friends, 1 started taking PLANTEKOA, md it was not for some time that even this seemed to make any impression, and I wag almost giving it up m 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 I •tbout 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, Mid have NOW RESUMED WORK. I consider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CUBED ME. I shall be pleased to answer enquiries by letter or otherwise.—Yours, gratefully, W. H. MEXTED. I can certify that I visited Mr Mexted m the 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 m the ambulance, md two months later brought him home igain, and assisted to carry! him from the ambulance to his bed. Jas.

FIT GUARANTEED, Ross' Antidote and Ointment 'The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. CI'HE following unsolicited Testimonial I by a gentlMnan well known m Ash burton, speaks for itself : — Masterton, August 28,1901. Eoss Antidote Company, Dear Sirs,—l feel it my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial m favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, ©tc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had tried almost every known one but yours and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked " Jack, you look very ill," and you may depend I waa. He added, Will you take some medicine if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, and I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began to get well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man, thanks to your great discovery. I always keep it by me, and find a few doses occasionally keep me m perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this.—l remain, yours, etc. J". H. Pauling, Masterton. May be obtained from Messes Fletcher Bros., and Shearman Bros., Ashbixrton. 1 Smoke New Yearo
