AT A DENNY APIFCS -£20,000

Ik jou had as many pennies as there are natural holos through your skin, how many pennies should you havo. You would have enough bo mako £20,000. Now figure up the holes for yourself. Yet you couldn't afford to sell them for v penny oacb, even in hard times. Thoy are worth more money. Those holes, or sweat glands, pour out quarts of sweat every day—water, mixed with said and poisonous humours. Stop these holes, parbly or entirely, and the skin's work is at once thrown on tho lungs and kidneys. Then you fall ill with some disease or other. With what diseaso depends on the nature and location of your weak spot. A lady, whose name wo aro permitted to mention, will not coon forget the spring of 1890. Ib was then that for the first time in her Hfo she was afraid to bo loft alone ; not from fear of enemies, bub frciui sheer nervous excitement. She was obliged to havo elastic pub into her slippers to lob them out —her feob were swollen so ; and her hands were in bhe same condition. In bhe mortring her face would puff up and large lumps form under her eyes and on her cheeks. Then a, raeh mado its appearance all over her body, vanishing again almost immediately, as a blush comes and goes on the f.ice.

The suddenness of this she compares to the sting of a wasp or hornet, An intense itching accompanied it, so she could not Ho in bed or be quiet in any position on account of ib. She was in misery night and day, and scarcely know what) to do with herself. Her legs gob so painful and felb so tired she was put to ib to get about. For eighteen months (it mu6t have seemed like aa many years) she wan tormented in this way. Meanwhile she consulted two doctors, and attended successively, at the Newcastle Infirmary and at the Dispensary. But nothing more than temporary eaao camo of the treatment they gave her. The doctors recommended a change of air, and in August, 1891, she went to North Sunderland. She found relief at thab placo, but not from tho air.

Now we musto geb back to the spring of ISOO, and inquire what, if anything, procoded this strange outbreak. At that time, the lady says, she first felb languid, tired, and constantly sleep}'. She was troubled with bad headaches and attacks of giddiness. Her appetite failed ; she could eat but lifcfcle, and after eating had a feeling of weight and fulnesH at the cheat and aides. Her -Whole system was depressed, and the life id her appeared to sink, as the water does in a ciabern where there exists a hidden leak somewhere. Then came what has already been described.

At North Sunderland, whither ehe went for a change of air, aho met a gentleman named Gathcarfc, who expressed ra most intelligent opinion of her case, ariel advised

the use of Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup. Convinced by his reasoning, she procured a supply of this well-known remedy, and began taking it. Her letter concludes in these words : " After I had used the Syrup only a few days I felb a decided improvement in all respects. My appetite revived, my food digested better, and coon the rash and lumps entirely disappeared, to return no more. 1 have since enjoyed the best of health. You are ab liberty to make my statement public if you think ib may be useful to obhers.—(Signed) Mrs Sarah Charleton, 27, John-Btreet, Arthur's HUH Newcastle, February 7th, 1893."

Wo congratulate this lady on her recovery and thank her for allowing ua to publish the above details of her experience. The doctors called her ailmenb nettle rash, but ib was more than that. Her blood was loaded wibb the poisonous acids generated by indigestion and dyspepsia—tho same as the poisons of gout and of acute inflammatory rheumatism. Tho irritated nerves of the skin produced the rash, a9 the clogged pores were unable to excrete the poison. The purifying power of Seigel'a Syrup expelled this poison through the kidneys and bowels, and by stimulating insensible perepiration over the whole surface of the ekin.

Of this disease an English physician says : • When it becomes chronic all treatment fails.'

Ye?, all treatment except the one which cured Mrs Charleton.
