Football.

United Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph New Plymouth, August 6 The football match Canterbury against Taranaki ended in a draw, after an exciting game, with ten points each. Canterbury had the best of the game all through, their | forwards getting completely round the home men. Towards the end of the first spell McGregor potted a goal. There was no further score till half time. In the second spell Taranaki got on a forward rush, end ing in Guy scoring, no goal being kicked. Canterbury hustled the game, Brunsden scoring a -try, which was not enhanced. Later on McGregor, by following smartly, beat Taranaki bads and scored. Taranaki rallied, and from a rush Guy scored, Humphries missing an easy kick. Just on the call of time O'Dowda placed a goal from a mark. -

A Hard Day's Work.

Without any trouble—A change in the life of many an Ashburton Citizen.

The prospect of a hard day's work gives a man a shudder when he is sick. He would not mind if he was well. Have- you , not often had your deepest sympathies aroused by the face of an invalid at a win dow ? Perhaps tha day may be "exception ally pleasant to you with your abundance of health, but if the slightest breeze awoke the trees it would be too much for the face at the window. And there are diseases just as exasperating, where one ia as much an invalid as the one pictured above. Kidney complaint has its miseries unknown except to.those who have suffered .them. Wh are glad to say there is' much less of ie in Ashburton now that Doan's i Backache Kidney Pills are so well known. : ! Eead how one citizen was benefited. I Mrs Jas. Parker, B«_ch Ed, Trevorton | this town, says:—l could not do my. house work or washing because of backache not | long ago. As soon as ever I started the | pains became so very agonising that I ! would have to lie down. This was a very nasty state of affairs for me, and it would probably have continued only I procured a box of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills at the Ashburton Drug Co's in East Street. I am now perfectly free of the pains and fit for anything in the way of housework. [ only took one course of the pills and the . cure was permanent. They are splendid as tonic and agreeable to take. Success has brought up many imitations of Doan's Pills, but there is nothing 'just as | good' as the remedy which cured Mrs Park er, therefore ask for Doan's Backache Kidney Pills. Doan's backache kidney pills are sold by all chemists and storekeepers at 3s per box (six boxes 16s 6d), or will be posted ■on receipt of price by the proprietors, Foster, McClellan Co., 76 Pitt Street, Syd ney, N.S.W. But be sure they are Doan's.

BUSINESS NOTICES. FLOATING KIDNEY, DISORDERED LIVER, CHRONIC INDIGESTION, NEURALGIA IN THE SIDE AND BACK'



MRJEBNEST A. CLEMENT, of the Taiti, who is in the employ of the Hutt County Council, relates his most remarkable case as follows:—" To Proprie tor Plantekoa. Sir,—l feel it my duty both to you and also suffering humanity to make known the benefit I have derived from the use of Plantekoa. I have been under treat ment for years for my kidneys, liver, and chronic indigestion. Under examination the Doctors thought! I had a float ing kidney, and prescribed medicines and lotions for treatment, and in fact I have iodine and other things in the house now that weae supplied to paint my back. In addition to the complaint men tioned I used to suffer at times most ex cruciating pains from neuralgia in the side and back. Be.ide the doctor _ treatment I have tried almost countless Patent Medi cines in the effort to get relief. I can honestly say that Plantekoa has made a new man of me, has cured the ailments above referred to, and I am now enjoying better health than I have done for years. Any further information will be gladly furnished if desired. I wish to say also that Plantekoa' Ointment has proved a wonderful friend to me. About six years ago after playing in afoot ball match my body became covered with pimples, which turned to chronic eczema. During those years I cannot describe the suffering caused nor yet count the number of ointments and the like that I tried to relievethis terrible complaint. When I used to perspire at my work, the smarting, itching, and yet burning irritation would nearly drive me crn_y. I have USED PLANTEKOA OINTMENT with result that I have not the slighest trace of the complaint left, and my skin is as clear as that of a little child. While in a very heated condition I -put on another Footballer _ jersey in mistake for my own, I do not know if that had anything to do with starting my complaint, but a singular fact was that the irritation commenced at that time, and covered my body, arms and neck, while my face, legs, and hands' were free. Suffice to say that whatever way it came Plantekoa has ouredit completely. It will be Been by my letter that 1 have had my share of suffering, and really the con dition I have been in life was not worth living. After my experience PLANTEKOA STANDS WITHOUT A RIVAL."

Ross' Antidote and Ointment The Great Herbal Remedy for Purifying the Blood. rpHE following unsolicited Testimonial ! by a gentleman well known in 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 in favour of Ross' Antidote for purifying the blood. 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 1 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 in 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.

EVANS' WITCH'S OIL FOR RHEU- I MATICS, LUMBAGO, and SCIATICA. Among the medicinal preparations which have, from time to time, been placed before the public, it can be stated without fear of contradiction, that there is none too cur ' pass Evans's WITCH'S OIL. As. an embro-  j cation in cases of Rheumatics, Sciatica, or j Lumbago it is absolutely unrivalled, bat f the scope of its influence extends far beyond 1 these complaints. For example, m sudden attacks of Inflammation of the Bowels, Spasms, Cramp, or Colic the application of this mixture will afford immediate relief, and avert the serious consequences that are inevitable if the necessary pallative is not at hand. Indeed, there is no ache or pain to which the human frame is susceptible""'^ that Witch's Oil will not allay, and for this reason no household should be with out a remedy which may truly be de scribed as magical. !
