WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US.

Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. Many persona have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They teel dull and sleepy ; the mouth has a bad taste especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the fceeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach ; sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish coloured expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to aftbid any rest, After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive ; the skin is dry and hot at times j the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is fre* quently a spitting up of the food, some times with a sour taste, and sometimes witha sweetish taste ; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart ; tha vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes ; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men ha^ mistaken the nature of this disease. Soro*, have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., but none of the various kinds of treatment have been attep ded with success, because the remedj should be such as to act harmoniously upon each one of these organs, and upon ''^ stomach as well ; for in Dyspepsia (*' or t ^ tig ig is really what the disease is) £ thege organs par take of thu idiaea^ and ire a remedy that will act v*- ftU at the * amQ time.

The following letters frpir> chemists of standing in the communj where they live Bnow in what ° S * l / I ? r .cion the article is held. r J/ jim Archer, Harthill, near Sheffield :— - can confidently recommend it to all who may be suffering from liver or stomach complaints, having the testimony of my customers, who have derived great benefit from the Syrup and Pills. The sale is increasing wonderfully. Geo. A. Webb, 141, York-street, Belfast : — I have sold a large quantity, and the parties have testified to its being what you represent it. J. S. Metcalfe, 55, Highgate, Kendal :— I have always great pleasure in recommending the Curative Syrup, for I have never known a case which it has not relieved or cured, and I have sold many grosses. Robt, G. Gould, 27, High-street, Andover: ■ — I have always taken a great interest in your medicines and I have recommended them, as I have found numerous eases of cure from their use. Thomas Chapman, West Auckland :— I find that the trade steadily increases. I sell more of your medicines than any othe/ kind. N. Darroll, Clun, Salop :— All who buy it are pleased, and recommend it. Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S ,Kingsbridge : — The public seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armstead, Market Street, Dalton-ia-Furness :—lt: — It is needless for me to say that your valuable medicines have great sale in this district — greater than any other I know of, giving great satisfaction. Kobt. Lame, Melksham: — I can well recommend the Curative Syrup from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself. Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept. 23, 1882. Dear Sir, — Last year I sent you a letter recommending Mother Seigel's Syrup. I have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony to the very satisfactory results of the famed Syrup and Pills. Most patent medicines die out with me; but Mother Seigel has had a steady sale ever since !■ commenced, and is still in as great demand! as when I first began to sell the medicine. The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver oomplaint and general debility. A certain minister in my neighbourhood says it is the only thing which has benefited him and restored him to his normal condition of health after being unable to preach for a considerable length of time. I could mention also a great many other cases, but space would not allow. A near friend of mine, who is very much addicted to costive •ness or constipation, finds that Mother Seigel's Pills are the only Pills which su m his complaint. All other pills cause u reaction, which is very annoying. Mother Seigel's Pills do not leave a bad after-eftect. I have much pleasure in commending "tga^rito suffering humanity Mother Seigel'p r^di- ' cines, which are no sham. If this vs>4to3r is . of any service you can publish it. Yours very truly, (Signed) Wm. S. G&ass, Chemist. A. J. White, Esq. }sth August, 1883. Dear Sir,— l write to tell you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs, me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor's medicine withoutthe slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup which he got from me has* saved his life.. Yours truly; (Signed) N. Webb* Mr. White, Chemist, Cain©*. ;

What the Minister of Mines recom- j mended was that application should he made to the honourable the Minister of Lands, or honourable Minister of Public Works, as the road in question in his opinion was either a main road, or one for opening up Crown lands River Conservation. — A reply wa« read from Gorernnvnt respecting the conservation of navigable rivers in Oliinemuri district, asking under what Act. and for what purpose, it was desiivd that they should be soconseif-'d.

Gr Corbett wrote, stating lie thought the track referred to was the best one, and suggesting that £20 be expended in making it a pack track. Resolved, That the £10 bonus be paid Francis, and with the consent of Cr Moore that £10 voted some three months previously for improving the beach road, should now be diverted towards improving this track. Fencing. — An application from Mr C Nash to have some fencing done, where the road passed through his land, was referred to tha Board -of Works. (The council then adjoured from 6 p.m. till T'fcr tea). Accounts — After the council reassembled, several applications for progress payments from various contractors were first dealt with, and a number of accounts were passed for payment. One man's account for day labour amounting to some L 23, evoked considerable discus e iou ; sevcr.il councillors exposing themselves as strongly opJpos>eu to so much day labour, whilst Crs Kicholls and Butler remarked when day labour was being made use of all hands should get a turn, and not one or two men only. Cr Butler referred to the necessity for improving the creek crossing of the new Alackaytown-Karangahake road. Referred to the Foreman of. Works. Cr Butler also referred to the desirability of repairing the Hikutaia road. Road Maintenance. — CrMoore moved That tenders be called for the maintenance of the main county roads for six months, to ho let in sections. Tenderers to state price for making and placing culverts at per 100 feet. Cr Humphreys seconded the motion. Cr Strniige moved as an amendment, That the roads be let un<»er specifications, and subject to the supervision of the engineer* Cr Moore, Butler, and Humphreys opposed Cr Strange' a amendment, and saw no need for employing the engineer in this matter and there being no seconder, the original motion was' carried. Tenders to be returned by the next meeting. It was further resolved, on the- motion of Cr Moore, that tenders be called for forming the main road deviation (Pennellsgate to Rahu crossing); and the Chairman, Crs Nicholls Butler and were authorised to open and Humphreys accept tenders. Bowler's Road, Waitoa Riding. — The Chairman referred to the visit of himself and Crs Nicholls, Corbett, and Butler t«, inspect this proposed read-; It was at oat two miles long, and all through Crown land. The probable cost would W £150 ; the Uo\ernment would contribute £2 te £1, the council's portion would be only £50, and out of this some six chains Mr Bowler had garanteed to make, so that (he cost to the council would really only amount to some £35. \ Cr Butler moved, That tendeira be called for making thif No. 2 road, Waitoa (Bowler's).

J. Dea,hlb. " N Mr Dearie was present at the meeting, and stated that he had tried to come to an arrangement with the Thames County clerk, hub failed to do so. The minutes of the Council's meeting Feb. 1 3th, wore referred ro,and the resol ution appointing Mr Doarle to in rusticate | the books on behalf of the Ohine:uuri Council read. From what was stated at the meeting it appears that subsequent to Mr Dearie's appointment Cr Humphreys interviewed several of the councillors, result ingin the pasingata special meeting a resolution recoiirnendini? that he should give Mr Doarle any nssistauee. if such were required, whilst engaged on this work. The County Clerk, however, appears to have exceeded the intentions of, the council by a too liberal interpretation of their action in this matter, and irave Cr Humphreys a letter to the Thames Council, stating he and Mr Di-arle had been authorised te examine their books ; and some of the councillors remarked that there was a dibcrepancy between the minutes and the letter given Cr Humphreys, armed with which he set fortli for the Thames, and, pre renting himself to the T. tames Council Chambers, without De.irle, commenced | to iuresti^ate the accounts. | Cr Humphieys stated the Thames | Council had afforded lain eve.ry facility in so doing. He had ptvpa «-»• 1 a balance sheet, and said Mr Hollis told him he could- not give access after 31st March, «s he had to mnke up the books for the Government Auditor. I In reply to Cr Cr Humphreys stated he was requested by the Thames Council to finish up the Work by 31"t March. In reply to Cr Strange, Cr Humphreys said Mr Dearie had never intimated to him that he could not go down. Mr Dearie, being present, said he had seen the Thames County Clerk several times, and told him that he (Dearie) could not possibly enter on the proposed work until after 31st March, and that the clerk (Mr Hollis) told him Cr Humphrey's had been there nearly every day, and had been at work at the books. Had himself several times told Cr Humphreys he could not commence at the books till after March 31st, being engaged upon some census work. (Cr Humphreys here ?t;»ted he did remember now Doarle tellinsr him he could not go till after he had finished his census work. Was then, however, already partly through the book's). Or Humphreys hod never once intimated to him his intention of jroing by himself, and never once hinted to him he had been to the Thames County office. Cr Butler remarked that from the refersnee to the minute buok it was cvi- , dent Mr Denrle had sole authority to act m this matter, Cr Humphreys being authorised to assist him if needed. Cr Strangj drew attention to the great difference between the minutes and the wording of tile letter written by their clerk, stating that Cr Humphreys and Mr Dearie had been authorised to undertake the work. Mr Dearie said he had never asked acces9 to the books of the Thames Council, nor was refused untill after Cr Humphreys had already been there. Cr Strange remarked that the meeting at wh'oh Cr Humphreys was ghvn authority to assist Mr De.irle was a special one and no notice jhat any such business woulJ be brought on had been given, as was necessary. Cr Moore said the coit'icil woul 1 sttill ! have to get Mr Dearie to go through the books and get out a statement for them. The Chairman thought the best course now would be to ask the clerk to write to the Thames Council asking if the books were closed to them. It they refused further access to the books they would have to consider what had best to be done in the matter. Cr Butler said h^ thought the Thames Council were justified in closing their books, as he was at the Thames when Cr Humphieys was there^ and the Thames County clerk told him, he had I been put to a lot of trouble and bother by Cr" Humphreys, who had been down there a long time. Mr Dearie produced • the written authority the council furnished him with to audit books, — and which stated that his request for absolute power and authority had been granted, suggesting if he required assistance f he should call in Cr Humphreys. -! Several councillors manifested strong disapproval of the way in wnich Cr Humreys had acted in the matter. Cr Humphreys in defending the the course he had adopted, said he had acted for the best in the interests of the county. ■". Cr Moore moved that the Thames County ;clerlc be written to nskinq" when it would be convenient to give Mr Dearie access to the books and do -uments. Seconded by Cr Walsh and carried.
