VP IN THE WORLD. enem J r “ down, keep Min down, ia the advice offered by those who regard the game of lift only m its bmal aspect. It -was reserved for the twelve-year-old boy who afterwards became the first Duke of Wharton to adopt and pnt into practice the contrary opinion. The father of this young" hopeful was a friend of Joseph'Addison,'the distinguished critic, and was anxious to secure hie services as tutor for his son. With this view, Addison was invited to the Wharton country estate, where he was charmed by the engaging manners of his prospective pupil, who showed him over the places, and P™*®d a most intelligent guide. The little lord having one day taken Addison to a distant part of tie estate to see some racehorses, upon coming to a very tall, barred gate, was greatly concerned at having forgotten to bring the key. “No matter,” f? 1 . ,-^ddison; “I can climb over it, I think ; and then with difficulty mounted to the top bar. At that moment the little lord whipped a key out of his pocket, opened the loti, and began swinging the fro rapidly, keeping the statelyAddison aloft in that ridiculous situation. A.s you are to be my tutor,” said the “I may as well make terms with you whde I have you in my power,” and forthwith proceeded to extract various promises n from ttie critic before ho would allow him to descend. Addison thought it better not to undertake the instruction of that youth. Now, whatever may be said of the poliev oi keeping your enemy “down” or “up, l ’ as the case may be, the great difficulty usuallv is the getting of him into one or other .of those positions. With regard to heaHh, it is certainly easier to retain it 'unimpaired than to recover it when once it is loss; but that cures are effected, even where the indications seem hopeless, the following rase will prove. It is described by Mr Charles M. Morrison, of Arcade Buildings, Hi£h street, Armadale, Victoria, under date January 9, 1902. “In 1887,” says "t r Morrison, “a fire broke out in the kitchen of the honse I then occupied in Melbourne. The flames burst forth with great fury, and threatened to speedily destroy the house, and its contents. My wife was. first to discover the fire, and she rashed forth to give the alarm. A neighbor’s Newfoundland dog, hearing her outcry and seeing her run, sprang at her and knocked her down. Fortunately, the fire was extinguished before it bad time to reach the main building; but the shock of it, intensified by the attack of the dog, had a calamitous effect upon the health of my wife. She was completely prosby it, and brought as near to death as it is possible for anyone to be and yet hve. 1 Her nervous system was entirely deranged. She was unable to sleep, and perceptibly wasted away day by day. But her most serious trouble was an inability to retain food. The small quantity which she forced herself to take nearly always occasioned vomiting and intense pain, in this pitiable condition my wife continued for years, notwithstanding that she was at various times under treatment of no less than five different doctors. None of them appeared to understand her case, and all their l efforts to relieve her proved quite futile. One doctor suspected she was suffering from cancer of the stomach. made a searching examination, and as result of his investigations stated th though, there was no cancer, the stems was badly ulcerated,, - lie thought J condition very precarious. Hifwever, could do nothing for her, and we i quite lost faith in doctors and proprieti medicines when, a little over three ye ••Vgo, a friend advised us to try Motl Seigel s Curative Syrup. He was v< persistent, and at last we obtained a bot of it.- My wife took it regularly, as p scribed, .and soon began to benefit health and strength. In a little wh was able to take ordinary food, a retain it, without pain or incotrvenicni She took Mother Seigel’s Curative Syr three times a day for thre4 months, the end of which time she was complete cured, end she has remained well e\ since. At present she is quite plmr has lost the haggard look she once hi fnd is able to perform her household duti Having got the enemy ‘down’ (or ‘ui by aid of Mother Seigel’s Curative Svn we intend to keep him in that position the same means.

Dear Sirs, —I cannot overrate the great benefits my little boy (four years of age) has derived from taking Scott’s Emulsion. His health, previous to taking the preparation, had caused me much alarm and anxiety. He was anomie, and had convulsive fits, and was ai weak that he was’ unable to walk. His appetite went completely, and he seemed to me to be in quite a hopeless state. Hearing that Scott’s Emulsion was considered a very beneficial preparation for weakly and delicate children, I resolved to try it-for rdy little boy. I am truly thankful I did so, seeing the wonderful change for the better it has wrought in my boy’s case. He does not **r n ' like the same- child. He is now fat, strong, and always happy and cheerful; and can walk long distances without even complaining of pain or weariness.—Your faithfully, ” (Signed) Kate A. Boxeel.” Of course, ws think it better to take Scott’s Emulsion at the outset of treatment when children first show wasting tendencies. We think that Scott's Emulsion was employed in the foregoing case about as soon as its merits were known to the mother, and the result of the treatment certainly was satisfactory. In Scott’s Emulsion you have, a remedy whose merits are well known, and • have been thoroughly* tested' for more than thirty .years. It is not like any other form of cod-liver oil, and no matter „wbat anybody may tell you, it certainly will prove to be true that greater benefits will be derived from Scott’s Emulsion than from any other emulsion, or from any other form of codliver oil. Depend upon it there is. something about Scott’s Emulsion which brings • back health when other;remedies- have failed. B You can obtain a sample of Scott’s Emulsion by sending fourpeuce to - Scott and Bowne, limited, 483 Kent street, Sydney, and mentioning this paper. All chemists •ell Scott’s Emulsion.
