WHAT MR JOHN STEVENS M.H. R. THINKS OF RHEUMO.

Mr John Stevens, of Bulls, M.H.R., for Manawatu, iias a high opinion of Rheumo. Read what he writes:- I had a severe attack of rheumatism, and was adv.isod to try Rheumo I did so, with most satisfactory results Alter taking two bottles it practically cmed me I have no hesitation in saying that your remedy is the best I have used ** Try Rheumo yourself. If given a fair trial it will quickly cure Bheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Urn- 1 d£d diseases. All *6n*'f /m *"** f jjyeDcrs sell it at 2. 6d j f

Knglishnian I did not like his remarks ■ .bunt my country. He spoke of the ■ Egyptians of being downtrodden by our countrymen, and that they were not free. But how does the "following fit to that assertion, written by a native ol E^ypt on tbe blessings of British rut.:, — (1) The Bluish '.aye • ibiilished tho accursed torture of the coubache; (2) they have protected us from tyrants; (3) thanks to them I pay no unfair taxes; (4) I am no more harnessed to the plough to gratify the caprice of the Turk; (5) thanks to the British I no longer behold lying on the ground, bathed in blood, the body of \ my wife; (6) thanks to the British. I enjoy my frugal meal surrounded by my family; (7) my young cotton plants do not perish for want of water as formerly, when water was only supplied to rich proprietors at a high price, while we poor fellaheen had to see our plauts dying of drought What would happen if the British were to leave Egypt? Would there 1 not be chaos leigning again? I think so, Mr Spencer then spoke of India, and said it should be free. I a- - If, are they not free now? What would happen if they were given permission o rule themselves? Alt! who can tell? Where would the Bible be, and what would become of those who had embraced Christianity? The lecturer also spoke of Bechuanaland, a small State to the north-west of the Transvaal, as possessing the only Christian king, and being the only Christian people in the world. I isle what about our own King and people? But, strange as this may appear, the lecturer vet said that, ij was a party of English and American gentleman who presented a British Bible to the Emperor of Japi'.. The Emperor, upon these gentlemen entering the room, met them, and accepted tlie Bible, and placed it on his

throne, and stood beside it. Why did he accept it? necause it was presented by two Powers, tho combination of which is the greatest on earth, and whom ho holds in the greatest respect. May these Powers continue to back their missionaries so as to enable them to leave a Bible in every house and hamlet on the face of the earth. But let not missionaries enter into politics whon delivering a lecture on British subjects. I am, etc., A BRITON.
