THE WHITE CROSS SOCIETY.

Thb formation of ft White Cross Society (says the Auckland Herald) has engaged the attention of the Wealeyan Conference. That this peculiar institution commended itself to some minds appears in the fact that n committee appointed on the subject by the Conference recommended the institution of this new order of chivalry ; and though it has not commended itself to the general sense of the assembled fathers for the moment, it seems to b» but in abeyance. The desire for social amelioration has produced some curious phenoj tnena, but that among them all no more Btrange device for doing good has been invented than the institution of the White Cross. It is unnecessary to explain the objects contemplated in this institution. They are the purest and the best, and if the end justifies the means, tke end in thib oase aimed at is so entirely good that we are bound to overlook, if we could, what iB bizarre in the methods by which it is to be eornpassed. In a word, the object is moral purity, and the means are the enrolment of young men, who not only vow to be good in that particular tcay and to never be naughty, but who are to wear a rosette or white cross of ribbons on the bosom to tell to all the world that they would not do such a thing. Now, to the enrolment and the vow, there is" no right-thinking man that could raise un objection ; but the public profession is of the essence of the contract ; and we venture to say that a young fellow walking down Queen-street with a White Cross on his bosom would bo the observed of all observers. At first, of course, there would be utter ignorance and wonder as to what it was all about ; but the knowledge of what it meant would pass in sappressed whispers among our amused and giggling sisters, and the hero of the now crusade would create a senßa tion such as would be caused by a great " bubbly jock" strutting. down the street with a good conduct medal suspended from his neck. Doctors Gave Him dp.—" Is it possible that Mr. Godfrey is up and at work, and cured by so simple a remedy ?" " I assure you it is true that he is entirely cured, and with nothing but Am. Go's Hop Bitters and only ten days ago his doctors gave him up, and said he must die," " Well-a-day ! If that is so I will go this minute and get some for my poor George. I know hops are good." Read Feels 'Young Again. — "My mother was afflicted a long time with neuralgia and a dull, heavy, inactive condition of the whole system, headache, nervous prostration, and was almost helpless. No physicians or medicines did her any good. Threo months ago she began to use Dr. Soule's Hop Bitters, with such good effect that she seems and feels, young again, although over seventy years old." — A Lady in R. 1., U. S. A. Look ap Remember this. If yon are sick Hop Bitters will surely aid nature in making you well when all else fails. If you are costive or dyspeptic, or are suffering from any other of the numerous diseases of the Btomacb, or bowels, it is your own fault if you remain ill, for Hep Bitters is a sovereign remedy in all such complaints. If you are Nervous use of Hop Bittern. If you have rough, pimply, or sallow skin, bad breath,- pains and aches, and feel miserable generally, Hop Bitterß will give you fair skin, rich blood, and sweetest breath,- and health. That poor bedridden, invalid wife, sister, mother, or daughter, can be made the picture of health, by American Oo's Hop Bitters, costing but a trifle. • Will you let them suffer ? In short they cure all Diseases of the stomach, Bowelß, Blood, Liver, Nerves, Kidneys, Bright's Disease. £500 will be paid for a case they will not cure or help. Druggists and Chemists keep. Pbosbcute the Swindlers!! If when you call for American Hop Bitters (see green twig of Hops on ihe white label and Dr. Soule's name blown in the bottle), the vendor hands out anything but American Hop Bitters, refuse it and shun that vendor as you would a viper ; and if he has taken \ oui money for anything else indict him for the fraud and sue him for damages for the Bwindle, and we will pay you liberally for the conviction . mch 7 Holloway's Ointment and Pills. — Those who have given these remedies a fair trial freely admit that they inherently possess every property suitable for healing and removing eruptions, ulcerations, piles, abßcessep, sores, bad legs, gathered breasts, and all disorders of the glandular system. When carefully rubbed in tho Ointment relaxes the swollen muscles, diminishes inflammation, assauges pain, and even alleviates dangerous maladies which may have lusted for months, or even years. Holloway's excellent preparations are effective singly, resistless in combination, and have been recommended by grateful patients to be resorted to ns alteratives when all other means of regaining health have failed. Their action is temperate, not violent or reducing. 45 A Good Remedy fob a Cold.— On going to bed take a dose of Preeman's Chlorodyne in water. The diaphoretic, or sweating action of B this excellent remedy, speedily produces a general glow, followed by a free perspiration, during which the puhe improves in character from a feeble to a full elastic one, a good night's Bleep is obtained, and on waking in the morniog the Cold will be found to have disappeared. No greater proof of tbe certainty of the curative action of Freeman's Original Chlorodyne can be adduced than the steady increased sale of it in New Zealand, where it ia now looked upon as a household remedy for all forms of Fever, Ague, Dysenter}'" and other bowel affections. In all parts of the Colony it is rapidly superseding Quinine, as it has already done in the tea gardens and coffee estates of India. Insist upon having "Freeman's" only. Trade mark, an Elephant. — Sold everywhere. Obtainable from all chemists and storekeepers. 2 b mil " Rough on Conns." — Ask for Wells " Rough on Corns." Quick relief, c«mplete, permanent cure.

The worst forms of Fever, Prickly Heat, Smallpox, and Measles rapidly cured by Lampm>ugh's Pybetxo Saline. "It saved my life, for tho fever had obtained a strong hold on me." — C.

It is the cure for Cholera and pbeventivb of most disaases incident to Tropical and Colonial life. It allays thirst in a remarkable manner and cools and vitalises the blood, J. S.
