GRAVE NATIONAL PERIL.

THE RETORT COURTEOUS.

RHEUMO CURES GOUT AS WELL AS RHEUMATISM.

Sir John Madden, Chief Justice of Victoria, lecturing in Melbourne recently on "Our Gravest National Peril," said Australia might retrieve her position from defeat f>y a foreign roe, but if the purity of her women broke down, and they failed to have the regard they should have for home life, and if the maternal instinct — that instinct for establishing horne — failed, then Australia would indeed bo in a bad way. At the present time we occupied so prominent a position as regards temperance and tlie diminution of crime that it would be a fearful thing if the disposition amongst our women towards impurity and the los« of self-respect could not be checked. Ho ventured upon the subject with some misgivings and hesitation. The subject had been brought under his notice by the ladies of the Carlton Refuge, owing to the alarming increase ot child-mothers in that particular organisation. Everybody must realise what vital importance to the nation ;nust be the chastity and purity of its women. If a mother would not impress upon her children the importance of honour and chastity and purity, the rcults would be incalculably destructive, compared with which war, famine and pestilence would be merely fiction. If a country allowed its people to slide into sensuality, such a country could never rise to a position of importance uid prominence. He quoted statistics showing an alarming proportion of girl mothers. What, he asked, was the cause? One reason, and perhaps the gieatest, was that the control of parents had been lost in respect of their iJiildren. It was said that character t.hould be formed in the home, and \ihy should the Legislatuie interfere? That was well and good, but if parents would not exercise discretion to keep their childien from destroying themselves, who would do it if not the Legislature? In going on circuit he had been horrified at the extent and vastness of the knowledge of evil things displayed by child witnesses.

An old darky wivnUd lo join a fashionable city church, and the minister, knowing it was hardly the thing to do and not wanting to hurt his feelings, told him to go homo and pray over it. In a lew days tlie old darky came back .

"Well, what do you think of it l>v this linii 1 ?" asked the iireaeher.

•Well, sail " leplied the coloure-l man, '"Ah pra\ed an' prayed, an' dnod Lawil, In- says to me. "Hivstus, All wouldn't bod'ler inpv haul about dat iio mo. Ah've been tr,\ni{i to git into <I'U chu'eh mahse't for tie las' twenty yeahs and Ah ain't had no luck.' "

RTIRRUMO not only cures Rheuma tism, but it also cures Gout, Sciatica. Lumbago, and all kindred diseases. Mi . Herbert J. Williams, J.P., Past Grandmaster of New Zealand Constitution ol Freemasons, gives his experience in proof of this: — "I suffered periodic acute attacks c Gout, which confined me to my room for several weekf> at a time. The lapt attack occurred jears since, and medical treatment entirely failed. Accidentall.\ hearing of RHEIMO, I tried it i.s an expeiiment, and .n forty-eight bom.*was on m\ feet again. Since that tunI have immediately resorted to tl' 1 medicine, on tho slightest premonitory symptoms, and three doses have in every instance allayed them."

RIfEUMO does all that is claimed for it. Peimanent cures are effected <\cry da.\ , and thousands of sutfeivt*liave been freed from the torture:, ■•( Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, and Lu.i 1 bago.
