What! am I to take internally the same preparation I use
as a liuiineat ? "Why not ?" we ask. "Is it necessary
that a liniment should be poisonous ?" That many of those
in common use are, we admit. But the Pain Killer is a
purely vegetable melieine, and contains no poisonous in-
gredient. And although it is principally used to take in-
ternally, it is, nevertheless, one of the most powerful and
best liniments in the word. Be sure you get the right
article. None are genuine without Perry Davis and Sou's
trade mark, PAIN KILLER, on the Government stamp.

A meeting, convened by the High Sheriff of the county
of Antrim, has been held in E !fast for the purpose of con-
sidering the question of the purchase of Irish railways by
the Government. The High Sheriff, Sir Edward Coey,
presided. Mr. Galt contrasted the railway charges in
England and Ireland to show that they are excessive in
Ireland, and that nothing can remedy the evil except
Government interference. He mentioned the fact
that there was no great obstacle presented to Govern-
ment interference and management by the extent of
railway property in Ireland, for all the traffic of all
the Irish railways amounted in the course of the year
to but £1,700,008, which was little more than a
fourth of that of one of the English railways alone—
the London and North-Western. Last year 44 com-
panies of the poorer class in Ireland applied to Govern-
ment for loans of money to pay their debts, under-
taking that, if they got the advances they sought, they
would make large reductions in their charges, and by that
means effect a good deal for the public. But most of these
lines were in an incomplete state, and if they got the loans
they would then come into direct competition with lines
like the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway or the
Great Southern and Western Railway, which do not
require any money.—Colonel Shafto Adair, who moved
the first resolution, said his impression was that if the
plan of purchase were to be of any value at all, it should
be carried out in its entirety, so that there should be one
well-understood, uniform, and responsible system of rail-
way administration, aid that it should become a substan-
tive department of the public service. He would like to see
the railway system becOme Governmental, and its managers
have greatet-power to carry out its_ plans than individuals
could have.--,-Mr. J. J. Murphy, who seconded the resolu-
tion, thought they should not stop until the fares every
day were as low as the cheapest excursion fares now
charged.—Mr. M`Gildowney moved a resolution recom-
mending the adoption of the scale of fares suggested by
the Earl of Lucan in his evidence before the Royal Com-
mission—namely, id. for first-class, id. for second-class,
and id. for third-class -passengers per mile.— Mr. Thomas
Lindsay, in seconding the resolution, advised all railway
companies to reduce their fares from 50 to 33 per cent.—
Mr. Stannus, J.P., who followed, remarked how much
better it would Be for Ireland if members of Parliament,
instead of frittering away session after session in proposals
of wild schemes for setting the landlord and tenant in op-
position to each other and disendowing our fixed establish-
ments, came forward one and all to insist upon the Govern-
ment taking up the Irish railways. He proposed, and
Mr. Jackson seconded, a resolution urging the advantage
of reducing the fares for the transit of cattle and goods.
—A vote of thanks was passed to the Parliamentary
Committee. This brought up Mr. Lanyon, M.P., who
spoke hopefully of the prospect of being able to over-
come the difficulties in the way of a settlement of the
question
