A CLEAN CUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION, BOLDLY EXPRESSED. It is for this reason that an assertion like the following sticks up above the dead level of our stupid talk, and baeomes noticeable; " Wiie.v I saw KOW PALE I HAD anoW*- I SAID TO MJT' SELF, IT WAS BECAUSE SOMETHING HAD GONE OUT OF MY BLOOD.'" There! that is a statement with the seed of an idea in it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the rest oJ the letter which contains it. In Deeember, 1890, says the writer " I fell into a poor state of health. I was tired, languid, and weary withont any apparent cause. My appetite left ine, and all food, even the lightest and simplest kinds, caused me groat pain in tlte-ehest and stomach. When I saw how pale I had grown I said to myself it was because something had gone out of my blood. " Then my sleep was broken, and night after night I scarcely closed my eyes. It wasn't long before I became so weak and dejected that I took no interest in things around me. I was so nervous that common sounds annoyed and worried me; even the noises made by my own children in their talk and at their play. il There was a disgusting taste in my mouth ; it made me sick, and often gave me a shivering sensation all over. When I saw others eating and enjoying their meals I felt as though it were a strange thing-, in a way I wondered how they could do it. For myself I eould eat hardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it, as one turns from smells or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone knows, that without sufficient food the body languishes and weakens. And suclt was the ease with me as month af cer month went by. " During all this time, so full of pain and discouragement, I was attended by a doctor who did what he could to relieve me. but without success. Ido not say he did not understand my complaint-, for may he not have understood it without having the means of curing it ?" The answer to the lady's question is : Yes easily enough. All intelligent, studious doctors "understand" consumption, cholera, cancer, &c, without (as yet) having the means of curing them. There is usually a wide gap between the discovery of a want anil the way to supply it. " I will now," continues the letter, " tell how I came to be cured. In April, 1891, I read in a small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrup. The book said tho Syrup was a certain euro for all diseases of the stomach, indigestion in every form, and dyspepsia ; and it also snid that most of the complaints we suffer from are caused by that. On looking over the symptoms described in the book, and eompaiing them with my own, I saw plainly that my ailment was dyspepsia. ' We sent immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after taking it a few days I began to feel bettor. In a very short time, by keeping on with the Syrup according to the directions I could eat without pain or distress, and digest my food. I also slept soundly and naturally. Then my strength came back and with it the colour to my face. In short, after a few weeks use of Mother Seigel's Syrup, I was hearty and strong as ever. And I should be indeed ungrateful if I were not willing that others should havej the benefit of my experience. You are therefore free to print my letter if you think it will be useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Truran, Marton, Lincoln, April 24, 189.5." I simply desire to say to Mrs Truran that her idea about the blood is a perfect I .}- correct one. All our food (the digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and in tint shape it feeds the entire body. When the Mood gets thin and poor (lacking in nourishment,) we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the cause of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or dyspepsia. How easy this is to understand when once you get hold of the right end of it. Mother Seigel's Syrup has the peculiar power to correct what is wrong about the digestion and thus enables the digestive machinery to make good rich blood. Which is life and health and beaut}'.

The Sydney Bulletin can lie obtained weekly ut the Chronicle Office." The honorary secretary of the New Zealand Medical Association, Wellington branch, recently sent the editor of the New Zealand Times the following lettor:—" Dear >Sir, —I am instructed by the Wellington branch of the New Zealand Medical Association to request you not to publish the names of doctors called to attend on accidents or other cases, as this is contrary to the rules of the medical profession." The newspaper man thereupon put on his (metaphorical) hob-nailed boots and deliberately jumped on the medical profession in general. A few choiee excerpts :—'' This circular is insufferably insolent. But outside of the insolence of the ' request' there is a very strong and imperative reason why it should not be granted. This reason has to do with the cardinal question of public safety. The medical profession has given some of the brightest lights of humanity to the world, but it has also given its quota of the men who are not to be trusted implicitly too far. There is nothing sacred or infallible about a doctor any more than about any other man, and if ho fears the light of publicity to which every other individual in the community is subject on occasions of public concern,
