JUDGE SLOWLY.

It is not always an easy malter to judge correctly of the quality of things. Less than one in a thousand of us is capable of acou rabely estimating the worth of a pictu.e; not more ban one in a hundred of us the quality of a horse. In general, judgments rapidly made are of small value. " Did you ever notice," recently enquiei a visi'or to an English University town of his companion, as ihey sat together on a verandah, "that queer looking old fellow with the idiotio face, turnek up coat collar, and boots seven sizes too large, who passes here every morning at aleven 1" " Many a time," replied the other. *' He is Professor of Com' parative Grammar to the University ol , and speaks fourteen modern languages, to say nothing of his mastery of Greek, Latin, and Hebrew." Thiß inoident will serve to show the futility of superficial judgment. Mauy judgments which pasß unchallenged are none the less deplorably wrong, more eap'oially fn matters which require a practical test. Who can say positively that any medioine has the power to cure some parti" oular malady or not without giving it a tr.al When the friend of Mr Micha.l Fitzpat* rick, of 66, Forbes street. Woolloomooloo. Sydney, N'.S W, advised him to take Mother Fiegel's Curative Byrup for the cure ol ia-ii* gestion. he backed his advice with some excellent reasons —excellent, because his judgment of that remedy was upon aotinl experience of its m.nt. S ys Mr Fitzpatriok in a letter written on the 20oh juue, 1902. " For many years I suffered terribly from indigestion and biliousness, and spent poands and pounds on doctors' medicines and so called cures, bat without avail. Iv those days I had no appetite, and the little food I ate turned sour on my sto* mach, causing severe attaoks of heartburn. 1 was also troubled with pains in the chest, violent headaches, and habitual constipation In fact at one time or other I suffered from most of the symptoms which characterise a sluggish liver and impaired digestion. My worst affliction, however, was a total inability to obtain sufficient sleep. I would go to bad feeling worn out and sleepy, but bb soon f.s my head touched the pillow my brain would become unnaturally active, and I would think of every kind of Bubjeot, and roll and toss about between the sheet!, lis' tening to the. Fish Market Clock as it chimed hour after hour, until my nerves were all in a quiver. Then I would rise and and walk the floor, backwards and forwards the greater portion of the night. For years I had been in this wretched state when one day a friend fortunately called to see me. T wis trying the hot water oure at the time, and was just in the act of drinking a cupful of steaming liquid. He aeked me what I was taking it for, I described my troubles to him, and in reply to a further question said that I had not, so far, gained any relief from the hot water treatment. He advised me to abandon it and try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup instead. He gave me such excellent reasons for doing so that I accepted his advice—advice whioh, I am thankful to say, has had the very best results. After taking one small bottle 1 felb very much better. As I continued to take the Syrup, so I continnedto improve in health,and in less than two months my cure was accomplished That was three years ago, and I have remained in g- 3d health ever sinoe, whioh proves conclusively that it is not mere pass ing relief thab Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup affords to sufferers from indigestion, but permanent oure. .Slow lam careful never to be without a bottle of the Syrup on hand, as |I take a dose occasionally to conn' teraci the ill effects of my sedentary ocoupa tion—for I am a bootmaker by trade—and for this purpose I find it acts like a charm.'
