Nobody will Steal Them

There are two reasons why the Grown jewels are never stolen from the Tower o* London. They are in a Btrong place, well guarded, and are dangerous things to handle when diahoneafely oome by. Most lobbos of valuables are due either to carelessness on the part of the ownen or custodian*, or to bribery. Perhaps the burglar's vocation is under no circumstances an absolutely safe one, but not infrequently he ohanoeß upon a " job " which is both easy and luorative. I do not mention this fact for the unworthy purpose of inducing any of the youth of the land to enter the profesßieD, but Bolely to throw illustrative light upon quite another theme. Still, there is a relation between them, and we shall hit it after we have talked a bit about the case of Mrs Mary Rowlands, who lives ia Wales. The lady says that no longer ago than February (1898) she bad a severe attack of inflaenz*. followed by bronohitia. At this point we are oonoerned to know whether the I influenza was in any sense responsible for the bronchitis, as cause and effect. If so, why ? It iB well understood, of oourße, in England, where influenza is so common, that other ailments do follow it ; yet probably, the majority of ub have not settled in our mindß the reason for it. At all events Mrß Rowlands bad a low, b*d time. The trouble lingered along as, sometimes, winter does, away down into the period proper for May blossoms. She could not seem to get the better of the throat ailment nor master the lethargy and weakness left her as » legacy by the influenza. Her condition may be likened unta-that of a ship whioh has indeed aurvived ft gale but finds herself stripped of the sails needed to enable her to take advantage of gentler winds. The lady's hope of getting baok her lost strength by taking plenty of solid nourishing food was illusory. Every meal of that kind caused fearful distress in the stomach and acute pain at the chest. Nature distinctly repudiated the solid food, and almoßt as strenuoßly objeoted to the liquids, snob as broths, teas, and milk. It looked as if Mrß Rowlands must starve at her own table, Then oame the asthmatic symptoms, bo bad she was often obliged to gasp for breath. Between this combination of complaints she got bat little rest day or night. Soon after arose a threat of a still more serious disease— a threat happily not fulfilled. I refer to the cold, clammy sweats that broke out upon her, pointing to a fatal decline. The fear was natural, aa grim Consumption* with his poisoned dart, often approaches by the same road. " I became so reduced and feeble," the lady writes, " that my daughter had to nurse me constantly. I oould not get Into or out of bed without her help. In the house, or to others, I was of no use at all. The doctor who attended me left nothing untried thp-t he kuew of ; but, in spite of all he did, I grew worse and worse. Where I should have been to-day, whether ia the land of the living or not, who oan "tell, if a kind Providence had not intervened to save me ? In some way my husband heard of Mother S9igel'a Syrup, and persuaded me to try it. I began taking it and Boon felt better. My appetite returned, and all kinds of food agreed with me. Witb plenty of nourishment I gained strength rapidly. The asthma and the bronohial trouble vanished, and almost before I could realise It, I found myself in the best of health, and have continued so to be ever since For my remarkable and unexpected recovery I am under obligation to Mother Seigel's Syrup ; and bo I tell all whom I know."— (Signed) Mary Rowlands Deri, via Cardiff, August 31, 1898. One thtDg Mrs Rowlands says in her letter which I have reserved for thiß place, namely, that ahe was a dyspeptic. Her system was weakened and her blood rendered impure by i^digeatioD. That is the maiu p->in«\ That is ivhy skt was open to the attacks of Influenza, bronchitis, and asthma. Her body i o^'ie being we.^k, me prt-ciou-: jewel of hc-'t-h was Btclen Keep the digestion siroug and the blood cleaa and pure, by the frequent use of Mother Seigek'a Syrup, and thero will be no soil for the germs of disease to grow in. 'lh» system, tkua guarded, proteots the health as the walla and doors of the Tower hold safe the Crown jetralr.
