COMMITTEE OF JUDGES
Granted by the English Government to
Investigate Charges Against Parneil.

LONDON. July ~.
In the Commons this afternoon Smith, in
answer TO Parnell, said that the government
maintained the opinion that the tribunal sug-
gested by Parnell was incompetent to treat
the question that he proposed to raise, but
the government were willing to pass the act
providing for the appointment of commits
sion consisting wholly of judges fully em-
powered to inquire into the allegations and
charges against the Irish members of Par
Lament by the London Times. Parnell
asked if Smith intended to place on paper
the terms of the motion to this effect.
Smith replied that if Parnell was prepared
to accept the governments offer he was
ready to put on paper a notice of the motion
for leave to bring in the bill providing for
such committee.
Gladstone said it was desirable that Smith
should do this, that the House might see the
exact terms of the motion.
Smith said he would put the notice ON
paper tomorrow or Monday.

What is this nervous trouble" with which
SO many seem now to be afflicted! If you
will remember few Years ago the word
Malaria was comparatively unknown-to-day
it is as common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore-fathers
in times past. SO it is with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver which in per-
forming its functions finding it cannot dispose
of the bile through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the system
causing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering can well
appreciate cure. We recommend Green's

very pretty spectacle.
