PUBLIC NOTICES. A FEW INCHES OF PLAIN ENGLISH. ’fcjTUWADAYS men are all. sorts »f " wmdert by means of electricity, both in mechanics and,, in chemistry. I see by the /patters that they expect to be able to produce real diamonds by it. Perhaps they may; marvels never ceato. , Hat-we do before ire crow over that job. Up to this j time, any way, everything that is both valuable and useful is the fruit of hard work. Even 'diamonds are mostly g«t out of rooky mines. And, within reasonabw limits, it is good for us to have to work. .Ten shillings honestly earned is better for a. man than twenty in the shape of a legacy. The beet condition of things for any country would be when fair wages could be earned straight along* without loss or deduction for any reason. But in the-present aspect of human affairs this is impossible. Whose fmU.lt it is we. oanhot now discuss. One source of loss, however, is plain enough, and some remedy for it ought -to be found. In England,and Wales every workinfe man averages ton,days of illness per year, making the total loss ‘of wages from this cause about £16,000,000 a year. wo are talking of the average, you see. Bat Inasmuch as all working men are not ill every year, this average does not fairly show the suffering and loss of those who are ill. In any given year many will lose no time a% all, while others may lose individually from ten days to six months each. No charity, no savings, no inoome from clubs, etc., can make up for this, even in money alone, to say nothing of the pain and the misery. Alluding to bn experience of his in 1888 Mr George Lagdon says; “ I had to give up my work.” How this came to pass he tells us in a letter dated from his home in White House road, Stebbing, near Dunraow, August Sft, 1892. Be bad no inherited disease or weakness, so far as he knew, and was always strong and well up to April of that year—lßßß. Then his strength and energy began to leave him. Ho' felt tired, not as from work, but as from power gone out of him through some bodily failure. He sat down to his meals, but not with his old eagerness and relish. There was o hasty copper-like taste in his mouth, his teeth and tongue wore covered with shine, and bis throat clogged with a kind of thick phlegm, difficult to “ hawk up” and eject. He also speaks of a nagging pain in the stomach, flatulency, and much palpitation of the.hcart as having been among his symptoms. As the ailment—whatever it was—progressed be began to have a hacking cough, which, he says, seemed as if it must shake him to pieces. He could scarcely sleep on account of it. One of the most alarming features of his illness, however, were the night sweats, for tho reason that they showed the existence of a source of weakness which must soon, unless arrested, end in total prostration. In fact, lie was obliged to give up his work altogether. To him—as to any once active man—this was like being buried alive. One doctor whom Mr Lagdon consulted said ho was consumptive, and it did indeed look that way. “For twelve weeks,” he says, “I went on like this, getting weaker and weaker, and having reason to believe that it would end in my taking the one journey from which no traveller returns.. “It was now July—summer time, when life to the healthy is so pleasant and full of hope. At this time my sister-in-law got from Mr Linsclls, Stebbing, a medicine that I had not tried yet. After having used one bottle I felt better, and when I had used the second I was cured, and have not lost an hour’s work since.” The reader will notice that between the date of his taking this medicine and the date of bis letter there is an interval of four years. We may, therefore, infer that his cure was real and permanent. The medicine, by tho way, was Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. It is not likely he will forget its name nor what it did for him. His disease was indigestion and dyspepsia, the deadly enemy of every laboring man or woman under the sun, no matter what they work at or work with—hands, brains, or both. Is it necessary to draw a “ moral ”—schoolbook style—from these facts? No, it is not. We have talked plain English, and that is enough. \’ES, THERE are many Makes and Styles in LADIES’ MANTLES and JACKETS, but if you wish a really Stylish, Up-to-date Garment at a Moderate Price, suited exactly to your figure and purse, BUY HERBERT, HAYNES, AND CO.’S FASHIONABLE MANTLES.
