ghNHE unparalleled reputation which Peters
II Pills have acquired as a Medical Resto-
ratlye Is the most unqnestionabe proof that
can be given Of their immense Importance to
the afflicted, in almost every class ofdiseases
the number Of letters received from patients
recovering through their means is really prodi-
gious, and the complaints which they have
cured are almost as varied as they are numer-
Gus. Bat still there are some in which they
are more especially beneficial than in others
and among those may be named the too often
fatal complaints of the stomach. and bowels,
such as Cole, Flatulence, and Indigestion, for
which they are not only certain but an i'm
mediate cure.
Il is well known that from the disarranqe-
ment Of the stomach and bowels, arise nine
tenths Of all the maladies of adult and declining
life /; that is the foundation of Flatuencv, Spas
modic Pains, Indigestion, Loss Of Appetite,
&c, and that those in their turn give birth TO
Dropsy, Liver Complaint, Consumption, and
habiiual lowness of spirits therefore Peters
Pills being the very best medicine which has
ever been discovered for the incipient diseases
of the intestines, are necessarily the surest
preventIves of those dreadful, and also general
disorders which embitter mature life, and drag
so many millions to untimely graves.
Inspeaking thus, DR. Peters arrogates moth
ing to himself that has not been conceded by
the public, He is no needy quaek or unknown
Spectator, who comes before the world as his
own herald and witness but is placed in a
responsibility of situation by the patronage
which he has enjoyed for years, and which is
increasing to ar extent unprecedented IN the
annals OF medicine, that makes him careful to
assert nothing which is not borne out by tile
most iniallible proof and hence he does moi fear
to be put to the test in any thing which he
has promised respecting bis Pills.
DR.. Peters is most happy to be able to state
on the authority ola great number Of regular
physicians, that wherever his Vegetable Pills
have been introduced, they have almost super
ceded the adoption of niefcurlal experiments,
for their peculiar faculty for sweetening the
blood. and stimulating i to expeI all noxious
| Juices and in giving strength and tone to the
nerves, prevents disease from acquiring that
Strength which must be got under, if at all, by
dangerous remedies.

THE POLYNESIAN.
SATURDAY, NOV. %, 1910.

We have seen that the first impulse ofthe
Polynesian savages towards the whites, was
to possess themselves of their property. Ig-
nerant of their power and needless of con-
sequences, their avarcious desires led them
at once to assault and plunder. The nayi-
gators who first became acquainted with
these islanders, were generally men of char
acter, seeking fortune and reputation, bv
their adventurous voyages. MANY were
commanders of national expeditions. Policy,
interest and humanity alike prompted them
to secure the good will of the natives, and
we rarely meet with an exception to such y
course. The names of Wallis. Cook Van
couver, La Perousc, and Wilson need but
be mentioned, to confirm this assertion. AT
times indeed, unprovoked and treacherous
attacks compelled them to severe but me-.
cessary measures sofrctalation, but thew were
conducted in such manner as to subserve
at once the design of fjustlce, and to forciblv
impress upon the natives, the power of their
visitors, and promptncss to punish any ar
sressions. The difference in warfare the
distinction made between the guilty and in
nocent, the forbcarancc shown to thc helm
less non-combatants, and the care taken Of
the wounded, could not but produce favora.
BILE results in their minds. Useful advice for
their future conduct was also freely given,
presents judciously bestowed, and the nat,,-

and were cordially welcomed by our val
liable friend, Chief Trader MPherson,
who had for some time, given up all
hopes of our arrival.
Most of our people are still afflicted
with acute pains and swellings in the
limbs, caused by cold and exposure and
we are assured by Mr.. MPherson, that
he has never known or heard of so early
or vigorous commencement of winter in
Mackenzie River. On the other hand,
so fine spring as that of 1889, seldom
visits these frozen regions and to this
favOring circumstance, under Providence,
ought our signal success to be partly
ascrbcd
October 3O-The state Of the ice at
length enables us to despatch couriers to
Slave Lake. In the meantime, Gov,
Simpsons highly valued letter Of the 18th
of June, which unfortunately missed us
in our way hther, has cast up over land.
We rejoice in having anticipated the Rus
sian expedition, and secured to our count
ry and the Company the indisputable
honor of discovering the Northwest Pas
sage, which has been an object of search
to all maritime nations for three centuries.
When our expedition was planned at
Norway house, in 1886, it was confident
ly expected that Sir George Black would
have achieved the survey of the Gulf of
Boothia with the Terrors boats, and that
our meeting at the mouth of the Great
Fish River would have left no blank in
the geography ofnorthern America. That
officers failure, the exhaustion of our men
and means, and the necessity of new
wintering ground, render fresh expcdi-
ton indispensable for the examination of
the Gulf of Bothia, the circuit of which
to the Strait of the Fury and Hccla,
according to the Esquimaux accounts,
cannot be less than 400 or 500 miles. 1t
only remains for us to recommend to your
appreciation the plan proposed by MIR.
Simpson to perfect this interesting serv-
ice which as he had no wish to avail
himself of the leave of absence granted.
ne is prepared to follow up whenever the
limited means required are placed at his
disposal.
We have the honor to be yonr most obcdent humble

tnc ESVulIIlduA DIS containing illdily iSldHuS,
and with numerous indentations stretch
ing down southwark till it approaches
within forty miles Of Repuse and Wager
Bays. The exploration of such gulf,
which was the main object of the Terror's
ill-starred voyage, would necessarily de-
mand the whole time and energies of
another expedition, having a starting or
retreating point much nearer to the scene
of operations than Great Bear Lake and
it was quite evident to us that any further
foolhardy perseverance could only lead
to the loss of the great object already at
tanned, together with that of the whole
party. We must here be allowed to en-
press our admiration of Sir John Ross's
extraordinary escape from this neighbour
hood, after the protracted endurance of
our ships, unparalleled in arctic story.

ed the last career of our admirable little
boats and received their name, lies in lat.

had forbidden our advance, gave wings
to our retreat.
The same night, the Goth of August,
we landed once more at Cape Britannia,
and next morning we crossed the inland
direct to Point Pechell, with heavy sea-
On the 22d we explored long narrow
bay on the west side of Point Ogle, which
extends to the 6Sth parallel of latitude
The north wind blew roughly, with sharp
frost, and next day we got no farther than
Richardson. Thence we crossed over on
the 24th, to what had from the continent
appeared like two islands, but which we
rightly conjectured to form part of the
southern shore of Boothia, or, to speak
with greater precision, of that land on
which stands Cape Felix of Capt. James
Ross. This shore we had the satisfaction
of tracing for about sixty miles till it turn
ed up to the north, in lat 68 deg. Ill

w. Only fifty-seven miles from Ross's
Pillar the dip of the needle was 80 deg.

bearing N. N. E., distance ninety miles.
The variation, as shown by the azimuth
compass and the horizontal bar needle,
was As deg. east The objects seen on
this coast are easily cnumerated-a low
unnteresting limestone tract abounding
nevertheless in reindeer, musk oxen, and
old native encampmcnts. TO the west
ward good deal of ice appeared, and
vast numbers of snow-gcese passed high
overhead in long triangular flights, bound
for miIder skies.
Whilst engaged in taking observations,
our men constructed another durable me-
mortal of our discoveries, which was
salutcd in the usual manner. Then, re-
crossing the strait on the 25th, we resum-
ed tor some time our outward route, only
keeping more along the scaward verge of
the islands, SO as to shape Il straghtcr
course.
The weather. from being threatening
and unsettled, soon became uncquivecoaI-
ly severe. On the 29th of August, a snow
storm began, that lasted for seven days,
during four days of which we were fixed
to single spot by the violence of the N.
w. gales; while the frost was so keen,
that the pools among the rocks on which
we lay became solid enough to bear up
