THE ENGINES OF SHIPS ANB OF KEN 1!N «He month of Maroh the great and bejratl- j . ful steamship OKy of Paris, while 09 her voyage from New York to Liverpool, met with an accident by wieh her engines were completely disabled, leaving her helpless on the sea. She carried a large number of passengers, and great anxiety Fas felt concerning her In Europe and America. How she was finally towed into Queenstown Harbor will be remembered by the public " Well, what of it V you say. " They afterwards found out how it happened, and repaired the engines, and no lives were lost." Very true, but wait a moment. Because you never go to sea, do you think the sudden destruction of a ship's engine has no lesson for you ? How shortsighted men are! Did you ever lie on your bed at home, or on a cot in a hospital, helpless as a log ? What ailed you ? Some disease. What Is disease ? It is an accident to your vital machinery. What do the doctors try to do for you? To "cure" you Yes, of oourse. Suppose we say " repair " you alive and going byeertatn organs or engines inside the body. When they are out of order and work badly, we are ill; when they stop, we die. Do you see the force of the illustration ? Sometimes a man's machinery Ib never right from the hour of his birth. Here is a short story one man tells about himself which will show what we mean. He says: " One ship is never weak because another is, but a baby may be weak because its parents were, or some other of its ancestors. It is spoken of in the family that when I was an infant I did nothing but sleep. Now, a healthy Infant ought to sleep most of the time, but not all the time. He should laugh, play, cry, kick, and take notice of things. My mother was bothered about it, and saw the doctor, who said it was owing to the sluggish state of my liver. Nevertheless, I lived and grew up as millions of children do. But inherited disease makes its mark sooner or later, aooording to circumstances. 1 ' About five years ago I began to feel bad. I didn't know what waß the matter with me. I had a bad taste In my mouth, a Blimy tongue, and felt languid and tired, and had no ambition for work. My appetite failed, and when I did eat, under a sort of compulsion, I had great pain after it. I went en in this way until the spring of 1888, when I had a very severe attack, and was treated In St. Bartholomew's Hospital for some time. But I came out still weak, and a little later on I was so bad I broke down comfiletely, and took to my bed. Matters now ooked very serious for me. "The first doctor who came to see me waßnot able to give any relief, and my people fetched another, as my condition had become alarming, I got worse and was in great agony. I had pains all over me, but more particularly ib the bowels, where the pain was intense. The bowels were stopped or constipated, and the doctor seemed pozzled. One day he said ' I cannot account for your condition.' I now began to think what was the beet to be done. Yet what could I do? " I had heard of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, which was said to be a most remarkable cure for deep-seated and chronic complaints where all other remedies were unavailing, but I had never tried it, and why should I believe in it ? Yet how strangely we are sometimes led into paths we have never travelled before 1 " About this time I pioked up a newspaper, and read of a case similar to my own that had been cured—so the writer said—by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I decided to risk it, and sent over to Mr Dyer, the chemist, in Acre lane, West Brixton, and got a bottle, and in ten minutes after taking the first dose I felt relief. " In my excitement and satisfaction I declared This is the right thing! "After taking six bottles I found myself in perfect health. I am a new man. I never was in better health in my life, and all the members of my family think of my cure as all the more wonderful owing to my having suffered with liver complaint from my infaLcy. I will gladly answer any inquiries about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and what it did for me." (Signed) W. Goldspink, 126 Acre lane, Brixton, and 19 Taohbrook street, Fimlico. Mr Goldapink is a pork butcher, and is well known and highly respected. In addition to his inherited weakness of the liver he suffered from deep seated indigestion and dyspepsia, with an acute attack of constipation, a dangerous and often fatal complication. For this almost universal malady—often mistaken for other diseases fceigel's Syrup is the only remedy to be relied upon.
