SHB WILL NEVER TBLL THE SECRET. HERE la a piece of glass; it is cat into Uo-Aa ; it i'b pure white glass; it la fit to bj one of the pendauts hanging from a chinde)ior in a millionaire's drawing room ; ib is about as big as a hsz lnur. How it sparkles as I hold it up between my thumb and finger. Yet it is merely glass, and scarcely wotth a {shilling; ob ! if I only knew how to tu:n it into a dinnond I—a blue or a rose diainocd ! Why, there are thousands wbo would tive all their health, and then mortgage their eouls, to bay it of mo 1 lien goodbye to woik and care, for I should ba rich beyond the dreams of avarice. Who w,ill show me th 9 prccet>B? Alas ! nobody. Who will tell me how to incsmu.e tin or oopper into ehintng gold? A'as! nobody. A. bit of coal is carbon. A diamond is also carbon Where is the link between them? We yearn to know. Thtußandß tf men have barntd out life's candle in the effort to ascertain. How vaiuly ! In the bosom if her hills Nature hides that secret, as aho hides the secret of man's de-jt'ny utder mountains cf ashes and crumbling bones. On our bended knees we beg her to break one unbroken seal, to speak one unspoken word. She only regards us with contemptuous pity and remains for ever dumb. Yet, is the-ro uo other mystery, jaat as deep, that comes home to your thoughts in a way to frighten you? Think a minute, man. What builds and repairs the houte you live in—that is, your body t What changes a loaf of bread intonervep, fLsh, skin, and muscle ? Whatdofs this mean? as when a lady Bays of her dacghter: "Sto took food, but got no strength from It." It means that in her case the baso products of the ground were not turned into the diamond called the human body. What dots that mean, in familiar Eogllsh ? Simply that the process of digestion iB interrupted, a process stranger than the transmutation of cupper into gold would be. The lady proceeds to say that her daughter was seventeen years of age when she was taken ill. This is the age of hope, brightness, vigor, and enjoyment, and, by rights, illness ought to be unknown to it. btill, she lost her strength and languished as though stricken by time. She grew tired and weak, and eoulj keep nothing on her btomach. She would, so her mother Fays, o'ten throw ud a quantity of green fluid as bitter as gall. This was bll<\ the fluid which in health nature takes from the blood and sends to the bowels to aid digestion there, The liver failing to do this work, the bile remainß in the blood, and iB returned to the Btomach, which rejects it as a poison. That is a part of it. The rest saturates the body, producing headache, nervous depression, and debility, bad dreams, cold hands and feet, furred tongue, yellow eyes and skin, dfzziness, bad taste in the mouth, and the gulping up of a nauseating gaa'and slime, with loss of appetite and ambition for labor or pleasure. This state of thiDgs is often called a bilious attack, and i 3 part of the results and symptoms of indication and dyspepsia. This affected life, to young or old, is one conetant misery. It is the copper, the gla-s; not the gold or the diamond. " This was my daughter's condition,'' adds her mother, " for nearly two years." Khe took medicines, and was treated by a physician, but without benefit. She grew daily weikcr, and with her decline our anxiety increased. We knew not what to do nor where to look for help. •'ltwaß at thn worrying time that we firßt heard of the preparation called Mother Sergei's Syrup, and read the statements of diffsreat ptrbons who said they had derived great good from it. Thinking, or rather hopirg, that it might ava'l tometbing in my daughter's case, I procured a bottle from Mr Rogw, Drug Storep, Mullingar. To our great j>y she found relief sfttr taking the first bottle, and before she had finished the third one she wa3 completely cured, and has had no roturu of the complaint. I have since recommended Stigel's Sjrup to many friends xrA neighbors. Tho facts in my daughter's ca«c arc well known to Mr Rogers and others in the vicinity. I append my initios and addres?.—B. J, M. SLANi-MORfr, near Mullingar, Ireland." Mr Rogers certifies as follows : " I remember the lady above ramed informing me of the cure of her daughter by taking Syrup, and can vouch for the accuraoy of tho fctatement. *' BICHiBD G, ROGEBH, " Mullingar, June 4,1891." To recur to our illustration, wo may say that the remedy employed assisted Nature torißumo ber work of producing the moit precious of all her jewels-health and happiness.
