PCTSLSO BOfXOBS, "GNB&TY ia the beat policy." If everybody thought so, Wolfe's Bchnapps would not be imitated as It is, NOB9DY WANTS THAT GOLD RING. GTOR nearly 100 years a certain family of * working people living in Paris have ended their lives by auioide. From father to sou, from mother to daughter, has descended a plain g Id ring, and on the finger of every one of these suicides, as they lay in death, this ring has been found, Only last year the body of a youcg man who h*d killed himself was brought to the Morgue, and on his finger was the fatal golden circlet. He wa3 the last of his race. The ring was buried with the corpse, from which no one acquainted with its history will have the courage to remove it. The mental taint in this family oarne from Borne remote anosstor, and was Intensified by their recognition of it until it became a controlling foice; and the ring wa3 accepted as imposing upon its poßseseor the obligation to commit suicide, after the example of the person who last wore it. This form of mania usually origicatei in a disorder of the nervous system, which in its turn arises from atteraia or poverty of the blood, one of tho results of imperfect nutrition.
A recent letter from a gentleman living m Norfolk contains the following assertion:— 41 1 longed for death; I was afraid of the night; I waß afraid to be alone, yet I hated society. I was afraid that in some oneof thoae hoursof deep gloom and depression I shcu'd lift my hand against my own life, for I know that many had done so from the same cause." The dark hours became a time of terror to him, so he say*. He tomed and tumbled on his bed, wondeiing if morning would ever dawn again.' In this case i.C was not an accusing conscience, as he had committed no offence; the cause was purely a physical one-yet, all too common in Jfngiand —indigestion and dyspepsia, with the long chain of consequences dragging after it, nervouj col]»pao among them. He relates that hi? skin and tyes had been more or less discolored for years, often of a ghaßtly and repulsive yellow. This was due to the pretence of bile in tho blood and tissues, whero it had no business to bo. But as the weak and torpid liver could net remove it, no other result was pißvible tfcan the one our friend experienced. His head frequently aohed as though iiendß had turned it into a woikahop; and pains chased one another through his body as though he had at least half tho maladies catalogued in the popular books on disease. It et one thing, and one only, was responsible for all the miacnief—namely, the poison introduced into tho blood from the decaying food in tho stomich and inteatint s. The cold feet, the loss of appetite and ambiuon, the mental despondency, the sense of weariness and fatigue, the bad taste in the mouth, dry cough, giddiness, palpitation, chlllf, weaknesp, etc, are a brood of foul birds hatched In one neat, and the mothor is always indigestion and dyspepsia. Time passed somehow, as it always does, whether we laugh or ory, and this man grew heaitily tired of a life thus burdened and spoiled. He longed to see the end of it, and no wonder. But the last page of his letter is pitched in a higher key. He say a: " When I think of what I was, and what I am now, I can hardly realise the change. For the past six months I hava been using a preparation known as Mother Seigtl's Curative Syrup, and it has actually revolutionised my whole system. One of my tenants recommended it to me, and I tried it just to please him. How I praue it for myself, and thank the men wlio make and adverti«e it. My troubles are over, and I feel (at fifty-seven) as light, elastic, and gay as a boy on his summer vacation. I tell my doctors they sre beaten at their own trade by an old German nurse, and bo far as I am concerned they osn't deny it. I have no more horrible thoughts cf seif-destructiou, for I find too much enjoyment in living. My thariks ate too defp for words." The author of this letter consents to the publication of so much of it as is here piioted, but declines to allow the u«o of his name, at least for the present, for reasons we are bound to respect. But the evident sincerity of bis stoiy will carry conviction to every candid mind. rinHK popularity and enormous sales of J.
