OUR REGARDS TO MR RUSSELL.

The writer of these lines hereby tenders to Mr W, Clark Russell the assurance of his thanks and appreciation. I have always loved sea stories, and those of Mr Russell stand at the head of their class. From “ The Wreck of the Groavenor ”to “ List, Ye Landsmen ! ” I have read them all. Yet saltwater, and the things thereon and therein, are not the only things he knows about; not by many degrees of latitude. In his last hook he makes a sailor talk thus ; “ I have suff red from the liver in my time, and know what it is to have felt mad. i say I have known moments when I could scarce restrain inyself from breakwindows, kicking at the shins of all who approached me, knocking my head against the wall, yelling with the yell of one who drops in a fit ; and all the while my brain was as healthy as the healthiest that ever filled a human skull, and nothing was wanted but a musketry of calomel pills to dislodge the fiend,” etc., etc. So much for what Mr Russell’s sailor (or Mr Russell himself, says ; and there are plenty of people who can testify that this is not a bit overdrawn. One fact in particular it helps us to realise namely, that the life of a s ulor does not guarantee good heath. Indigestion and dyspepsia—of which liver complaint is a sequence and a symptom .—is as common among sailors as among landsmen. One of the latter however may now tell of his experience. “ All my life,” he says, " I had suffered from biliousness and sick headaches. I would have an attack about every three weeks. At such times my appetite left me, and I could neither cat nor drink for days together. I suff rod from dreadful sickness and straining, and vo.nitcd a green-ish-yellow fluid. My head felt as though it would burst. I had a bad taste in the mouth, sallcw skin, and the whites of the eyes turned yellow. I was recommended to adopt a vegetarian diet, and did so, but the attacks were just ns frequent and violent. I consulted doctors and took their medicines, but was none the better for it. In this way I went on year after year.” Well, we shall agiec that there could scarcely be a worse way to go on, and it all came about thus : The overworked stomach put more work on the liver than the latter could do. Indignant and disgusted at this the liver refused to do a stroke more than iis proper share. Hence more idle accumulated in the blood than the liver was able to remove. This surplus bile acts as a slow poison—and not so very slow either. The tongue is furred ; the head aches and feels dull and heavy : the eyes aud skin arc greenish-yellow (here is dizziness and nausea ; cold hands and feet : spots before the eyes ; a pungent, bitiug fluid rises into the throat ; constipation ; high colored kidney secretion ; prostrated nerves ; irritability ; loss of ambition ; fears and forebodings, &c., &c. This is “ Lilfousness ” or “liver comp’aiut ” in its sunniest lorm. When lung unchecked it produces irregular action of the heart, rheumatism, gout, and any, or all, of a doZ'-n other organic disorders. There is no more certain or powerful impulse to misbehaviour ; suicide and other crimes often resulting. What to do ? To get rid of the poison by starting the skin and bowels into energetic action ; then to keep them going at a healthy and natural gait. How to do this ? Let bar friend Mr P. Widger, 4. Portland Square, Plymouth—whom we have just quoted—speak on that point. In his letter, dated March 3rd, 1893, he adds :

“Two years ago, after all medicina bad failed to help ire, I first heard of Mother Seigel’a Curative Syrup. I procured it from Mr 11. S. Luke, Chemist, Tavistock Road, and began to use it, and nothing else After having consumed one bottle I found invself vastly better, and by continuing wish it 1 got rid of my old trouble altogether.” We should mention that Mr Widger is a tailor and outfitter at Plymouth, and well known and respected in that community. He permits us to use his name out of gratitude for hia recovery. The potency of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup over liver disease is due to its ability to cure indigestion and dyspepsia, which is (as we have said) the cause of liver disease, Excry house on the land, and every ship on the” sea, should have this remedy as a necessary part of their stock and stores. Perhaps Mr Russell may recommend it in his next book. But no “ musketry of calomel pills.” Ob, no.

Kenneth Bazemore had the good fortune to receive a small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhrea Remedy when three members of his family were sick with dysentery. This one small bottle cured then all and he had some left which lie gave to Geo. \V. Baker, a prominent merchant of the place, Lewiston, N. C., and it cured him of the same complaint. When troubled with dysentery', diarrhoea, colic or cholera morbus give this remedy a trial and you will be more than pleased with the result. The praise that naturally folio tvs its introduction and use has made it very popular. For sale by Robert Pritch? wl.

“ I know an old soldier who had chronic diarrhesa of long standing to have been permanently cared by taking Chamberlain's Colic, Choleta and Diarrcea Remedy,” says Edward Shumpik, a prominent druggist of Minneapolis, Minn. “ I have sold the remedy in this city for over seven years and consider it superior to any other medicine now on the market for bowel complaints.” Tnis remedy for sale by Robert Pritohard. My boy was taken with a disease resembling bloody flux. The first thing I thought of was Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Two dases of it settled the matter and cured him sound and well. I heartily recommend this remedy to all persons suffering from a like complaint. 1 will answer any inquiries regarding it when atamp is inclosed. I refer to any county official as to my reliability.
