THE PARLIAMENT OF THE FUTURE.
$, A writer in the • Argus' makes the following remarks : — I aui not pi'epared on the spur of the moment to propose a substitute for Parliaments, for the subject is one of importance, and requires some consideration. But if tilings go on as they are for another generation, that Parliament which does the least work will be most honored, the barren session will be hailed as a boon and the legislator who spends all his time in the billiard and refreshment rooms will be cherished as a public benefactor and the saviour of his country. Then perhaps some lover of his species will give the finishing touch by carrying the female suffrage, and securing the return of "still strong " women members, ruled by a woman Premier. Oh, ye gods ! that I could see that day and read its Parliamentary reports. Then life would indeed be worth living, the jaded mind could then rejoice in the unutterably ridiculous — and then we might look reasonably for the beginning of the end. Some wise despot would be sent by Providence to take us in hand for a year or two, till the ' : collective wisdom " could be gathered in some other and more effective way than by the effete Parliamentary system, and men would soon come to regard the obsolete law-making machine as a relic of dark and barbarous ages.
expectoration. In very advanced stages tbe skia assumes a dirty brownish appearance, and the hands and feet are covered by a cold, sticky perspiration. As the liver and kidneys become more and more diseased, rheumatic pains appear, and the usual treatment proves entirely unavailing against this latter agonising disorder. The origin of this malady is indigestion or dyspepsia, and a small quantity of the proper medicine will remove the disease if taken in its incipiency. It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its first stages, when a little medicine will effect a cure, and even when it has obtained a strong hold the correct remedy should be perceived in until every vestige of the disease is eradicated, until the appetite has returned, and the digestive organs restored to a healthy condition. The surest and most effectual remedy for this distressing complaint is " Seigel's Curative Syrup," a vegetable preparation sold by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White, Limited, 17, Farriugdon Road, London, E. C. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system. Market Place, Pocklington, York, October 2nd, 1882. Sir, — Being a sufferer for years from dyspepsia in all its worst forms, and after spending pounds in medicines, 1 was at last persuaded to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and am thankful to say have derived more benefit from it than any other medicine I ever took, and would advise any one suffering from the same complaint to give it a trial, the results they would soon find out for themselves. If you like to make use of this testimonial you are quite at liberty to do so. Yours respectfully, (Signed) R. Turner. Seigel's Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleause the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. St. Mary-street, Peterborough, November 29fch, 1881. Sir, — It gives me great pleasure to inform yon of the benefit I have received from Seigel's Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia ; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, and after taking two bottie3 of it I feel quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly, Mr A. J. White. William Brent. Hensingham, Whitehaven, Oct. 16, ISB2. Mr A. J. White. — Dear Sir. — I was for some time afllicted with piles, and was advised to give Mother Seigel's Syrup a trial, which I did. lam now happy to state that it has restored me to complete health. — I remain, yours respectfully, (Signed) John H. L'ghtfoot. 15th August, 18S3. Dear Sir, — I write to tell you that Mr Heury Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor's medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup which he got from me has saved his life. Yours truly, (Signed) N. Webb, Mr White. Chemist, Calne. September Sfch, ISS3. Dear Sir, — I find the sale of Seigel's Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues : one customer describes it as a " Godsend to dyspeptic people." I always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Cuemist-dentisfc, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil. Preston, Sept. 21st., 18S3. My Di\ar Sir, — Your Syrup and Pills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said "Mother Seigel " had saved the life of his wife, and he added, " ouc of these bottles I am sending fifteen inile3 away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it." The sale keeps up wonderfully ; in fact, one would fancy almost that people were beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel's Syrup, the demand is so constant, and the satisfaction so great. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker. To A. J. White, Esq.
