A NEW DISCOVERY— GRAPPALINE.

_^ The effects of influenza, asthma and con- ( sumption, bad colds and coughs, and nearly all other ailments, are caused by a certain ! class of microbe. They germinate as fast ■as fly blows in meat. There are many dif- '< ferent species of the so-called microbe. For instance, one kind that causes consumption locate themselves in the lungs, and then another kind that causes asthma locate them- ' j selves in the bronchial tubes, and so diffez'ent . j kinds work their own ground of destruction upon the human frame. The piles are ' caused by a microbe which, causes an inJ flummation in the bottom bowel, and the ■ seat worms, so-called, are another class of !. microbe ; and another class will cause eczei ma, and so on. Grappaline is the latest dis- • covered remedy that will, without a doubti, ' exterminate them. Grappaline can safely be applied inwardly or outwardly, as per 1 directions on bottle. It will cure an ordinary bad cough or cold by talcing five to seven doses, and one bottle wiil cure any case of influenza, and from four to five bottles Trill ciirv »«y <=^° of asthma afld consumption. Grappaline— lts destructive power has no limit over the so-called mi- -, crobe; it is the masterpiece of all science ' yet discovered for that purpose. . Having said sufficient upon the merits of Grappaline to induce any sane person who •may be suffering from influenza, asthma or ' consumption to give it a trial. The wonderful power of Grappaline over microbes has been discovered by accident and experi- | ments. Of late we have been experiment- ! ing, and we find that Grappaline answers every purpose that St Jacob's oil or painkiller have been used for. It is an inward and outward remedy of the most powerful kind, and perfectly safe if used as directed. There is hardly any ache. or pain that-Grap-paline will not soon overpower. . m It will also cure erysipelas of the worst kind in a ; few days, also neuralgia and toothache, any ' irritation, pimples or. chafing.

ndt be done out of revenue, and. for wSiat is riffh'fcly chargeable to capital. We ask to raise £225,000. . Railway Cansteuction. — Then again, in respect to railway construction, greater expedition in construction is required, especially wit2i the North Island Trunk and Otago Central and Midland lines, whilst the .construction of tne Blenheim-ATpaterfi and other lines demands attention. The completion of ithe construction of the Thames-Paeroa, Seaward Bush and Forest Hill lines will allow, out of the-moneys available, more to-be .allocated for the lines hereinbefore mentioned, but notwithstanding ,tliis more will be required, , •and' 'for construction of railways we ask £300,000.. . . Roads to Back-block Settlements — In many parts of the colony we have settlers who have been placed on the land for years, Tmfc have no roads leading to theiv homes, and the privations and difficulties they have to encounter are heartrending to endure. Having personally made myself, acquainted with the true condition of affairs I feel that this standing reproach should be removed an-d every expedition exercised in making roads next summer to the back-blacks settlements. The settlers have a right to insist that the State shall keep good faith. Their lands have been loaded in some cases to the extent of 5s per annum per acre, and this has been paid for years, yet owing to want of funds no roads or reasonable access have been given, and in the winter time these settlers are completely isolated from the- outside world. J£o enable good faith to be kept and to make these roads quickly and well £150,000 is required. Roajds to Crown and Native Lands and Main Roads — In some of the' sparsely and newly settled districts, apart altogether from the roads required in the back-blocks, good roads are requisite if the settlers in these localities are to get their produce to 'market under reasonable conditions. We have purchased large areas of Native lands. These require to be roaded and thrown open for settlement without delay. Take the north of Auckland, the Gisborne district and districts similarly situated, where there are no [railways. The .residents in years past have contributed to the loss on the working of our railways whilst they have not had the semblance of a road. Abstract justice demands that their wants in respect to roads should have attention, and for this purpose jaut !»f ithe moneys to be raised, £150,000 should be set apart. Permanent Works on Goldfields — The development and extension of our goldfields require attention, and the goldmining industry is playing no unimportant part in producing our present prosperous state. Considering the present and the past yield of gold relatively speaking, there has been less spent by the State in developing this industry than in any other gold producing country in the world. It is essential that works of a permanent character should be taken in hand, producing collateral and general advantages, rather than, yielding direct returns, and which private enterprise could not be expected to undertake. For permanent work on the goldfields £50,000 is required. Public and Technical School Buildings — The necessity foi* due provision being made for public and technical school buildings forces itself upon us day by day, and it is a matter of impossibility, for the Boards of Education, especially in those districts where settlement is progressing so rapidly, to provide necessary accommodation, and it adds to the hardships of the hardy pioneers in the back -blocks to see their children, denied the benefits of education and made to suffer a serious drawback in the. battle of life, and I feel sure that . in asking that £50,000 should be raised for the puq)ose of public and technical school buildings all will admit that such moneys will be profitably and prudently spent. Purchase of Native Lands — To complete the purchase of Native lands now under negotiation, and to obtain lands required so that our purchases to date may be placed in a satisfactory position for settlement, £50,000 is 'required. For some time past we have been tapering off, and I anticipate that the loan moneys for the purchase of Native land will not require- to be raised. Contingent Harbour Defence — To bring our harbour defences into a reasonably complete state further expenditure is required. Commitments under the advice of itlhe Commissioner of the Forces have been made, and these are properly chargeable to capital account. I must confess that the expenditure of large sums for defence works and for .arms and) munitions which become so quickly obsolete is open to question, especially seeing the roadless condition in wliich our settlers are placed. However, it is well to be prepared for any emergency,' and the amount of £25,000 asked for can with advantage be expended. Briefly summarised, I deem it advisable that we should raise £1,000,000 for the purposes herein before mentioned, and considering the necessities therefor, and the pressure brought to bear on the Government by the people, the Press and by members, the moderation of the proposals will commend itself to all well-wishers of the colony.
