Mr W. Noswortby, mombor for Ashburton, informed a representative of the' "Press'" that the gathering held by the Reform Party in Palmerston North recently was a very successful one.

He was a fighter, and the Party had every confidence in him as a leader. One tiling which struck him was the utter absence of discord. They pulled together in a solid team.

RHEUMO RECOMMENDED FOR, RHEUMATISM.

There is bo medicine so strono-lv recommended for tlie cure of the disease T? TFTFTTVrn mP i < + IXS c o m P°«nding as ■KJAJiUMO. At your own doors there are scores of people willing and to testify to its efficiency. °Everv year in New Zealand hundreds of hard-earn-ed sovereigns are spent on useless pills and liniments by people suufferinn- from Rheumatism, Gout, Sciatica, Rheumatic Gout, or Lumbago. Their monev is siply thrown away because these socalled cures cannot possibly exoel from the system the excess Uric acid—which is the cause of the trouble. RHEUMO is the only medicine that will accomplish this quickly and effectually. Mr W. James, Propretor of the Terminus Hotel, Christchurch, relates bis interesting experience:—

"I suffered very greatly from Rheumatic Gout for quite FOURTEEN YEARS and tried almost every remedy suggested by my friends and medical practitioners, but with very little relief. About three Tears ago I was strongly advised to try RHETTMO. I did so and with, a greatest satisfaction. I have a little twinge now and then, but a dose or two of RHEUMO puts Cie right at once." NEEDED EVERY DAT. A good liniment, and one tLat can always bo relied upon, is nowhere more appreciated "tlian in the country. Scarcely a week passes but some member of the family has need <-f it. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is more v'dely known than any liniments for cuts, burns and sprains, and it Tiot only gives relief but heals the wound m about one third the time equirsd by nov other treatment. The 2rent, power Chamberlain's Pain Balm has over pain is shown in the relief it iffords in cases of acute and inflammatory rheumatism. Chamberlain's Pain li&lm ia also an antiseptic.
