FOOTBALL.

NORTHERN UNION GAME. ENGLAND v. NEW SOUTH WALES. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.] (Per Press Association.) Received June 8, at. 9.10 p.m. Sydney, June 8. In spite of the showery weather and the heavy going England failed in :ts second attempt- to defeat New South Wales'. The weather.conditions wete alt'in their favor, and, besides that, England bad placed in the Jelda vastly stronger team, .including Wagstaff, .the famous centre'three-quarter. The "game certainly was an improvement on that-of Saturday, and opened with even plav -at Midfi'eld. The tackling was keener. Wagstaff took the ball to the local -side's quarters and scored the first try, but Rogers failed to convert. New South Wales first goal came from a penalty splendidly landed from the touch-line by Messenger. The locals again demonstrated their fearless attack, But the Englishmen, revelling .n the rain, undoubtedly were keener, and kept the crowd at a high-pitch of excitement. Messenger retired hurt, and Fi-aser replaced him..' At the same moment. Horder / dropped a second penalty goal from half-way for New South' Wales. Almost simultaneously Hall. England's halfback, was injured and left the fipld. The visitors then plaved a-, man short. Horder notched a further two points from a penalty awarded against Wagstaff for offside play. ■ Plav centred dangerously near the' visitors' goal-line, but- the loca'-s failed to score before half-time was called.

New South Wales 6 England /.. .'.. ••• 3 i On resuming the visitors tackled desperately, but- did not score owing to the -rleven-iess of the . borne backs. The centre of the field became a- quagmire, but the. Englishmen did not handle the ball as%urely as the New South. Wales players, the' game slackening until Hordier' added two more., points* from nridfiel'd. . " . . The final stages were exciting. From a scrum in front of New South Wales' o-oal the bail was kicked to midfield, and Kel-lv, securing it, obtained a- try. which was not converted. The final score was:

New South Wales ... ... H England - ••• 3 .Hall sustained concussion of the brain.

Received June 9, at 9.20 a.m. Sydney, June 9. * There were 48,000 people at the football match. • ' The Herald says that though the. British team showed to more advantage than on Saturday they were still most disappointing. They were beaten fore and aft and their position is hopeless. The Telegraph declares that the game demonstrated that when .Wagstaff. has worked the team's combination it will do much better. The visitors were entertained at a banquet at. which Mr Clifford, the manager, said the players were rot thoroughly hardened but when they returned from . Queensland they would show what thev were made of. Dr Thacker" urged that the visitors should consent to replace injured men in the field as the failure to do so w:is causing the comment that New South Wales could; not beat a full team. THE NORTH ISLAND TEAM. (Peu Press Association.)

Wellington, June 8. The following team has been selected ! to represent the North Island in tho Rugby match against' tho South Island in ' Wellington on June 21st: —Fullback, Jim Ryan (Wellington); threequarters—M'Gregor (Auckland), D. Roberts (Taranaki), S. Stolir (Taranaki; five-eighths—J. M'Kenzie (Auckland). Weston (Auckland); half. E. Roberts (Wellington); wing forward, Taylor (Auckland); forwards Cain (Taranaki). Sellars (Auckland), Bruce (Auckland), Smith (Taranaki), Downing (Auckland), Wilson (Wellington), Cotter (Wellington) : emergencies—Fiveeighths, Alexander (Hawke's Bay); three-quarter. Stewart (Auckland); forwards —Young (Taranaki), T. Leahy (Vv'anganui). As it is impossible for the selectors to see members of the various country teams play it has been decided to play a North v. South Island B teams match in Wellington on June 17th, the Wednesday preceding the big match. Complaint has been made by country unions that their players have not been receiving just, recognition at the hands of the selector?., and in order that they might see tin- more promising of the country men at work the selectors suggested the' preliminary match.' This will afford them better opportunities for judging the merits nf the players when selecting the team for Australia.

Something New. . ' The twentieth century is the age. of marvels, and- everyone is getting, used< to the wonderful things accomplished 'by , modern machinery. A few*, years ago. there were sceiitics "who laughed when it was suggested that a carriage could ha propelled along a road without horses, and. yet to-day those same people are travelling daily in their motor-ears and think no more of it than they would of walking or riding oii horseback. In the same way, all modern inventions have been ridiculed by persons suffering from that curious : yet common complain called "doubt." In the end, however, the most sceptical have been' obliged to admit that they were wrong, and that the things which they declared to he impossibilities have become established and recognised realities. Drives Away Doubt. - Thus the same people (happily there are fewer of them now than, ever liefore) who cannot eradicate the germ of "doubt from their systems are inclined to lift their eye brows when it is suggested that modern ingenuity has de- | vised a machine for the relief of pain and suffering. Such, nevertheless, is the case, and perhops the greatest victory . which this machine lias ever accomplished is the driving away of doubt from the minds of the sceptical. The Machine is the Veedee Vibrator, sometimes known as a Pukator or Blood Circulator, but which should always be called, to distinguish it fi'om would-be imitators, by its proper trademark name —the Veedee. The Veedee. Veedee Treatment is to-day recognised by the leading medical' authorities all over the world as the most rational, as well as the most effective, way of dealing with a. large number of painful complaints and diseases. Veefl.ee treatment is really treatment by. means of Cnrative, Vibration, a method adopted and prescribed by all the best medical men. Dr Mortimer Granville, the great English specialist and consultant, who has studied the new science of Curative Vibration' more thoroughly and practically probably than any other man, has written: —Every organ or the body may. in the absence of utterly disabling organic disease, be made to perform its proper functions by exciting the nerve which supplies it with energy by means of mechanical vibration, In. this way I have seen the inveterate torpidity of many organs overcome by a"' few successive vibrations." ,This in itself is wonderful praise, but. in addition, Veedee Vibration. has the recommendation of the leading physicians- of Great Britain, Germany. France, the United States, in fact of* all civilised countries of tlie world, as well as those of New Zealand. What is of most interest, however, to sufferers is to know what and how Veedee Vibration cures. \ How Veedee Cures. Firstly, "Vibration;- by means of the Veedee can instantly stop nearly every kind of pain. We all know, of course, that pain is but a symptom, and to the medical man it would not be sufficient just to stop it, but to the man or woman who is enduring all the excruciating agonies of. neuralgia, rheumatism, or gout the .pressing thing ol the moment is to stop it. This the \ eedee can do —and does. Pain is due to one set of nerves vibrating out of harmony with those surrounding. When the Veedee is brought to bear on the^ -painful part- the vibrations of. xhe Veedee restore the harmony to the vibrations of the nerves, and thus the pain is relieved. Not only, however, can the Veedee relieve pain, but it goes deeper, and, by removing the cause, cures. Because the Veedee relieves congestion bv increasing the circulation of the blood, it, of course, cures troubles paused by congestion, such as rhetumatism. gout, constipation, ah-d the like. Because Veedee brings about harmonious nerve vibrations-, it cures such nerve troubles ,as -neuritis, neuralgia, debility, and other nervous- complaints; and because Ve.edee stimulates the nerves control-

ling the various organs of the. l>ody, and thus .tones up the various processes, it cures such complaints as indigestion, lung troubles., and functional disorders; ..... ■. : .- Natural and Harmless Treatment. It cures all these troubles naturally, easily, and rationally. Unlike drugs, Veedee Vibration can do no harm., and it has no ill-effects.. . Moreover, it is pleasant. The- streams of .thrilling vibrations as . they-'pour- into on? are exquisitely, .soothing and. delightfully invigorating.- New life and new vigor are felt to lie literally poured: into one with the. Veedee. A few' minutes' Veedee Vibration., will despel the tired' feeling that follows a-hard, day's work, will cure a. headache, relieve toothache, and neuralgia, ease indigestion pains, and cure a- multitude of minor ills in a comparatively short, .space of time, while,, for the more,serious troubles or life,' continuous ..treatment 'for , weeks will result in'a. permanent cure.. : The natural cure of any bodily ill is obviously 'the. opposite of its cause. . ; Now. nearly all bodily troubles are due to one of. two causes.- One- of these s congestion, the other nerve inactivity. By congestion we understand a '-heap-ing-up" of waste part- di- other of - the body, dYie to,, sluggish circulation. This heaping-up process causes .auto-intoxication, vvhieh in its turn brings on many of the worst ilk towhich the flesh is heir. According to where congestion exists, so Is, the nature, name,. and locality of the trouble it produces. If the circulation is sluggish .in the kidneys we get kidney trouble. If the congestion occurs in the liver we get. liver troubles; if .in the stomacli, indigestion; if in the intestines, constipation; and so on. Veedee Vibration. Now. Veedee Vibration sends through the congested area or liinb a delightful tingling stream of Vibration —the very stuff that life is made of —immensely increasing the blood circulation and thus carrying away the accumulation oi waste matter, which is causing.the complaints variously named rheumatism, gout, constipation, Iqnibago, etc., according to their locality in the body. That is how the Veedee cures troubles caused by congestion. Now, as regards " organic" functions and nerve troubles. Nerve Control. Each organ of the body is controlled and operated by its own. particular nerve. " Take, for instance, the stomach, which iii all its work is governed by the pneumo-gastric nerve. All the controlling nerves 1 , of course,, start from their, proper centres in the spine. If a governing nerve acts sluggish, obviously, then, the organ it controls will be sluggish. For instance: if the pneumo-gastric (or stomach) nerve is sluggish, you have, indigestion, and so so. Now. the most- wonderful property of the Veedee -is that when it is aunlied' to the spine it awakens the sluggish nerves, and so brings back healthy activity to tlie particular organ—that is, 'in the particular cases cited above, cures indigestion;. The Veedee in Oamaru. The above gives a fair idea- of what the Veedee by means of Curative Vibration can do. and is doing every day. There are. nevertheless, thousands of unfortunate sufferers to-day who are enduring useless agonies through being jworant of the existence of the, wonderful little. Veedee, which can reheye their troubles.';and make them feel once more the thrill of perfect health. . It is with the object- of. reaching all, such that the Veedee Specialists have decided to open new and luxurious premises in Oamaru, where all sufferers will be treated free of charge, •and. where they will have an opportunity of purchasing machines, if in tlie oi>inion of the specialists the Veedee would be. suitable to their particular complaint. Those who cannot arrange-to call -should write for full particulars, sent post- free on receipt" of name and adress. But come to the Veedee Institute if you can, for no amount of description can hope to lie one-half as convincing as an actual trial of the Veedee itself.
