PAHIATUA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) The Foley Company were here on Christmas Eve on their return visit, and played their latest piece, " True as Steel." The Company have been doing well up the Coast, and secured a large house here and met with a good reception. The holiday season has been a somewhat quiet one, owing to the fact that most of the floating jtoulation have left for the oity. '.-Jft! A party of prospectors who have been exploring tor a suitable traot of . country for settlement under the Special Settlement plan, have hit upon a splendid blook at the back of the Mangahao country. They report having discovered a magnificent Gorge - in that country that far outrivals the Manawatu Gorge—for grandeur and beauty. WeddiDgs seems to have been the vogue lately. Many bachelors having • taken advantage of the holiday season to settle these little nutters. Tie Doctors shook tlxeir Sosfa " I w«uld give a million dollars tor a Stomach," said a wealthy Amerioan recently. Now a million dollars (£200,000) is a dealof money, but he was nob able to buy the article even at that price. Mr T nomas Gaskin, of Ho. 3, Poplar How, Darley Abby, near Derby, is not so rich'as many, being a gardener, but he was ready to give all he had for Anything he hadn't got. Here is his story, and he shall tell it in his own way. r Gaskin goes on to Bay : "Up to eight years I had never lost an hours' work through siokness. In December, 1882, whilst living at Beeston, near Nottiog- \ ham, my appetite fell away, I had dreadful pain after eating, a bad torte in iny mouth which would fill wa*f and slime, the latter so thiok that I often had to remove it with my fingers. My chert used to ' fill up' and my throat would swell up so that I couldn t button my shirt at the neck. 1 vomited a i great deal, chiefly a yellowish green phlegm. I had a racking cough, and would oough and strain till 1 bwd at the nose, and the blood rushed outof my euro. 1 became exhausted and short of breath and had to call the doctor, and was in bed five or six weeks, "I then went as out-patient of the Nottingham Hospital, and after attending there for six mottlis was very little better. I got so thin that I was like a ghost walking about, and my friends said it was all up with me. For eighteen months 1 kept getting better, then worse, and at last the doctors recommended me to try a change of air. So I came to Darley Abbey and my former, master gave me an indoor recommendation to the Derbyshire Infirmary, Derby. I found, however, that all the beds in the hospital were full, and I saw my olub doctor and also two doctors at Derby' The first one said, " You are in a galloping consumption and must die ;" the other doctors, after sounding my lungs and chest, said nothing, but shook their heads. ' " Getting a trifle better my old master allowed me to do what little I could in his gardens and grounds ; and some days 1 worked a little, and then would be i away for a few days. Things went on , like this until December, 1889, when I t caught cold, got very short ot breath, and broke down completely. 1 was ' always coughing and spitting up phlegm, I sometimes as much as a teacupful at i once, and was afraid to go to sleep for i fear the phlegm would ohoke me. At . this time the whites of my eyes turned , yellow, and my eyes were bloodshot. . My lips and mouth were dry and parohed '. and I often broke out iuto a Cold clammy 5 sweat. My. tongue was like a pieoe of ' brown leather, and I could keep nothing < down. I lost over a stone weight in j three weeks. JV 4 1 managed to get up for a few hours at / , a time, but was so weak I had to take/' ■■' hold of the furniture to move a yardß. I was always tirea and ' and sitting or lying, was never at ease,- ' aud got no real rest. Too weak to read ! I otten sat for hours looking at my i hands—nothing but skin and bone, and - was so nervous 1 couldn't bear the least noise, and the children at play quite upset me. " The dootor kept on attending me, but he said, 'lean do you iw goodLi I can only patch you up, because your Wigs '. are diseased. I then gavj over taking his medicine and tried everything I could hear of. One thing was a cough cure from London whioh cost 22i a bottle. But nothing did any good, and my friends who came to nee me said' ' Well, you won't cough much longer, you, have merely to prepare for another toorW " About the middle of March, 1889, a ' neishbor named Joseph Tatham, who workß in the papor mills at Darley. Abbey, said to me, • Tom, did you ever try Mother Seigel's Syrup f' and told me how he had been cured after being in the hospital. Ho spoke so much in of this medicino I sent my wife to Derby and got a bottlo at Mr Smith's Stores in Victoria Street. After tho first doso I had an evacuation as black as ink, and vomited. Then I fell asleep and felt rested when I awoke. After taking tho medicino for three days my breathing got easier, and my food kept down, and in a few days more I was able to go out for a short walk. By the end of a fortnigh£l went to seo try master, who asked what had wrought the improvement, and I told him, as I tell everyone, that Mother Seigel's Syrup had saved my life. I commenced work at once, and I have never lost a day's work-since. ■ ••■ . ' "Of course my strength did not return all at once, but after taking Seigel's Syrup for six months I waa strong «a ever in my lite and have continued so ever since." ' In giving his consent fco tho publication of this, rernarkable statement,' M? Giskin requests. tq all doubters 'V • ■'■

v «i •• •' " ohim or to Mr Keatley, Head Gardener, Darley ibbey, who is acquainted. with all the facts all-ged. Mr Oa»kin has lived at Darley Abbey 22 years and bears an excellent reputation. - Now, what was the complaint fmm which sumption, eertainly (as one of the doctors thought), vr he vxmldh-v. galped intj his grave in less than six months, instead of growing worse for seven yours. His complaint was chronic inflammatory dyspepsia (or chronic gastric catarrh), which has lung symptoms like consumption, for which it is so often ignorantly mistaken and wrongfully treated. When the right remedy, Mother Seigel's Syrup, was used the disease yielded, as all diseases of the digestive tract do yield to that matmiticent preparation. We heartily congratulate Mr Gaskin on his recovery, and commend the facts of his case to all thinking people.
