TWO PER CENT. OFF MY LIFE.

It wasiu a court! of justice adjoining the hideously gloomy prison of Newgate, a point ab which the misery and crime of London hare for centuries been focuased. A young man, scarce past boyhood stood before tho lata Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, charge! embezzlement. He was a bright, intelligent youth, somewhat Lett-r educated than the average Eogay.i clerk, bufe not. clover enough to mai:e on© sovereign do the work of Jive, ho he had embezzled his employer's money in order to live according to his taste, The employer objected,jheuce the scene of which wu have a vivid recollection. After leading him a fatherly lecture, the eminent judge sentenced the delinquent to two years imprisonment. ""Two years f exclaimed tho convict, as he was lead away. « Two per coat oft my life if I H*» * or « hundred years 1" Yes, two years makes a distant notch in tho life even of a centenarian ; and then, you see, very few of as _ can reasonably hope to become centenarians, which makes matters worse. Not withstanding the benefits conferred upon humanity by our marvellously improved sanitary arrangements, modern habits and customs don't on the whole tend towards increased length of life. It is, therefore, imperative that everyone should as violently watch that he loses no time by trangressing the laws of haalch as it is that he should avoid trangressing the laws of the land ; for for tne first of those transgressions is responsible for a vastly larger amount of lost time than can bo ascribed to the second. " After suffering fo,: over two year?, I was completely cured by Mother SeigeFs Curative Syrup in five weeks." Thus writes Mias Helena Eaaon, of 50 Pacific Street, Newcastle, N.S.W., on October 21, 1902. Miss. Eaaton i* a young lady of about twenty-six summers, just at that golden period of Jit© which cannot be abbreviated _ by two years, or even two Mentha, with- j out inspiring infinite regret. Mias | Easton continues :—ln the summer of 1898, when residing in Auburn Street, Goulburn (uf which city I am a natire) I first became conscious that my health wa* giving way. My appetite left me, end I felt languid, weak, and nervous. The little food I ate caused dreadful paißS in the chest and stomach, to say nothins of many other distress: ag Bytuptems. A doctor whom I consulted informed ma thus my complaint acute indigestion ; but his treat - went did me no good whatever, Tne fflorts of another doctor being equany 'futile, I took a great variety of patent medicines, which in rum were recommended to me by various fneuus, but I did not find that any of them did me the least good. And bo for two tears 1 grew paler, thinner and icebier. I never went out, but moped about the boose all day, dull and listless, the .lightest effort being painful to ma. Noise, or excitement of any king, would cause my hearb to palpitate violently, after which it would almost cease to beat?. "While I was in this miserable condition a lady friend, Mra W. Cook, cams fi-oa Bydney to spend the Christmas holidays of 1900. Tins may persuaded ice to try Mother boigel a Curative Cyrup, at tho same time inserting that she knew several perr.ona who bau derived great benefit from it, and that she was sure it was the only thing that would do me good. lac septed her edVice, and actiag upon it found that in a surprisingly short space of tune—before- indeed,'l had finished the second bottle—Mother ecigel'a Curative Syrup bad wrought a change in my condition and appearance which nothing else had been able to effect. I could eat and sleep : the heart trouble disappeared ; and I'recovered all my old-time capacity for work and the pleasures of Life. At this distance of time I entertain no doubt whatever that my euro la absolutely permanent."
