ORDERS AND ARROWS.

Whew the captain of a ship orde s soma hands aloft, to furl the main royal the men j»mp to obey, as » mitter o' coirs?. A sdlor can climb upon a yard without having a shilling ashore or a penny in his pocket. In fact, Jack seldom signs articles until he *• has used up both cash and credit.

But when a doctor—who is a sort of captain when one is laid up in the d r y dock <>f illne-f—o'deis a patent to co abroad for the of his health, it is quite another thing. **"" A tip and sojourn away from ho" c is ail exoen'sive pr- scription, and most-ot ua can't aff nd it. If the doct«r says it it. «, oboics between that an I the graveyard we shall

have to se'tle on the graveyard ; it is handy by, and e'sy to got to. But aie we really s-o hard pushed? That is, as olten as the doct'rs say we are? Let's turn the-inatter over in our minds for a minute.

He>e is a that is pat io the purpose. It concens Mr Ar'hnr Woiddon of 3. Re»eut's Terrace, Folsbe R"ad, Exeter ; and for the detn s we aie indebifd to a let er written by him, dated Much 7th, 1893. He mentions tha', in obedience to th-? mde'a of the d< cfc'.'ra, he went to CanneSj in the South o! France, in 1890, and spent the wint r there. Ha also ep. Nt the fallowing winter in the same pi ic'. He f< lr better for *■ the ch-mg-* ; we will tell you why presently. But heohtdned no • ridio-1' benefit, which also we will explain later on.

It appears th it this gent'eman had bean we-k and ailing nearly all h's life ; not exactly "" ill, no. wholly well—i condition that calls for constmt ciution. In March 1890, he had a severe afctuck of inflrroinatron of ihelurgs. Now I wnt the reader to honour me with. his best attention, as I musts >y in a few words wk it ought prope'ly to make many. Shoot an arrow into the air—as straight up as yon cm. You can't teli where it will fall. ! It may fall on a neighbour's head, on your, own, or on a child's, or on the pavement. Everybody's blood contains more or less *"""■ poisonous elements. The«e are arrows, but unlike your wooden an ow tbey always striae the weakest spot, or spots, in the body. If they hit the muscles and joints we may call it rheumatism and pout; if tbey hit the liver ""**' we call it liver complaint or biliousness . if they hit the kidneys we call it Bright's disease ; if they hit the nerves we call it nervous prostration, epdepsy. or any of fi r ty other names, if they hit the bronchial tubes wa call it bronchitis. &C. ; ' if they hit the air cells we call it inflammation of the lunes;* or by-and-hy, consumption. And inasmuch* as these poisoned arrows pass through the delicate meshes of the lungs a thousand limes every day it would, be odd if they didn't bit them—wouldn't it? Now wait a bit; it follows that all the *" so-called diseases above named are not diseases at all in and of themselves, but merely symptoms of one only disease—namely i hat disease which produces the poison ! Good. We will get on to the end of the story. After the attack <<f lung inflammation Mr Melluish suffeied from loss of appetite, pain in the sides and stomach, and dangetouscon-"* siipition. He could only eat liquid food and had to take to his bed. For weeks he was so feeble that he could not rise in- bed. .He. consulted one physician after another, obtaining no more than temporary relief from medicine. 4 * Then he was ordered as we have related.

Hisletter concludes in these words : ''While At Cannes I consulted a who said my adment was weak digestion, and that I need not trouble about my But I never gained any reM ground uritil November 1891, when I began to take Mother Seigel's Our. tivq_, Syrup. This helped mem one week and by contiuuing wiih'it I got stronger at-dstlonger and am now in fair good health. Th's, a'ter my relatives thought I should neve" - recover. (Signed) Arthur Whiddon — To sum up : This gentleman's red ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia, from which the blood poison comes that causes nearly all tri_. orders and pains. The air ef Sou'hem France helped him temporarily, because it is milder *than oura ; it did not f emove the poison. -By care and the use of Mother Seigel's Cura. tive Syrupfbe would bave done better at as the result shows. ' So we see that it isn't the climate that kills •or saves; It-is the o .ndirion of tbe digesting If therefore your doctor orders you abroad £o# your health,** tell him you wil first trj£ Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup,
