The Colonial Premiers at Home.

United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright London, June 24 The Premiers, the Agents-General and the foremost notabilities attending the Coco nation have been invited to attend an " At Home" at Mr Chamberlain's London rest deuce Mr Chamberlain and Mr Seddon hare discussed the return of the deported Fijian chiefs. The question of the group's future has not been raised at present, though Mr Copeland will convene a meeting of Aus tralian Agents-General to support Mr Ear ton'i attitude. Mr Seddon has suggested to Mr Chamber lain the subsidising of vessels flying the British flag conveying British goods, and is hopeful that something will result. Oxford University has conferred a Doc torship of Civil Laws on Mr Barton. London, June 25 At the luncheon given by the North Staffordshire Chamber of Commerce at Stoke, Mr Barton, m responding to the toaai; of " The Colonies," said that a vast number of colonials regarded fiscal policies, except as a sequence to moral principles, as expedients. How that would influence him at the Imperial Conference was a mat ter for speculation even with himself. The English policy ought to be directed to cheapening steam, telegraphic and mail transit between the Motherland and the colonies. He emphasised the illimitable resources m production and trade of the Commonwealth. Mr Seddon said the colonies did not desire to raise the fiscal question and plaoe the parties m the Motherland m mutual antagonism, but desired to help to bind them together. Subsidies to steamers carrying British goods would be no inter ference with f reetrade or protection.

I took a position as boundary rider on the (Clifton Grove Station, m Orange, hoping to receive some benefit, but later was compelled to give that up also. I have been m several hospitals m Sydney and elsewhere, without getting any relief. No one knows the intense agony I have suffered and I wae becoming despondent after being treated by doctor after doctor without get ting any benefit. Seeing an advertisement of Dr. Morse's Indian Boot Pills m the !' Batlrarst Advocate,' I determined to give I them a trial, and bought a bottle at ! Dalton's, m Orange. They gave me relief at once, and I am increasing m flesh daily. I cannot speak too highly of them and can only urge anyone suffering as I have done to give them a trial. I should be pleased to answer any who care to communicate with me regarding my case. You are at liberty to make use of this as you think fit. - Yours very truly, J. W.

bu *lk & s.-i so no.;i CANCER CURED. BRIEF PARTICULARS OF A REMARKABLE CASE IN THE WELLINGTON DIS TRICT. Fullest Information Sqnfc on Application, Mr W. H. MEXTED, a well-known Con tractor, resident m Nelson street, Petone, has been ill for OVER TWO YEARS, with i 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 under chloroform for examinntion I 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 tipper part of the abdomen, and blood and pieces of flesh resembling 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 Mexted that the trouble was cancer m the 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. Was carried to my bed, and for weeks lay be tween life and death. The local doctors were m regular attendance, and concurred with those of the hospital aa 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 oase 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 tha slightest improvement, until, on the advice o£ Mends, I started taking PLANTEKOA,! and it was not for some time that even this seemed to make any impression, and I was 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 > about for a Mtfcle. To the joy of my family j and 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, and have NOW BESUMED WOBK. I consider that PLANTEKOA has COM PLETELY CURED 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, and two months later brought him home again, and assisted to carry! him from the | ambulance to his bed. Jas. Brocklehurst, i i general carrier, livery and bait stable keeper, Petone. Having been intimately acquainted with Mr Mexted for a long time I can certify to his serious illness and cure by PLANTEKOA.

I have been a great sufferer for many years from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. 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 was. He added, Will you take some medicine'if I procure it; I replied, I will take anything. Hb 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 Missbs Fletcher Bros., and Sheabman Bbos., Ashburton. 7 S^oke New Veuas ;
