WAS JACOB GROSS A FOOL, “ I can’t make one of a party of thirteen,” he.exclaimed; “some of us will he sure to die Within a week." Thus spoke bather. Jacob Gross, of Batavia, on the 12th-o£-November lost. .The occasion was a dinner patty. When the guests were all seated Gross noticed that there were thirteen at table. The others tried to laugh him ont of his superstition, but be insisted that he would not eat as one of the. company of thirteen. A fourteenth guest was therefore added to the number. “ Now we’re safe,” said Gross, and the festivities proceeded. ' " Gross boarded at a hotel in Batavia. Ten days later the hotel was burned to the ground. The nest morning the body of a man was found in- the ruins. It was the body of barber Gross.

Now, this is a curious thing to happen, certainly; but is it more than that? Do you believe there is anything in the common notion that thirteen is an unlucky, number? or that Friday is an unlucky day of the week? much business is done on the 13th of the mouth as on any other date, and on Friday as on any other week day. You wouldn’t refuse to take thirteen eggs for a dozen if your grocer insisted on it, neither do you have more had luck on Fridays than on any other day of the seven. No, no, its all humbug end nonsense. Barber Gross’ superstition had nothing under the sun to do with hi a death. Besides, he dined as one of fourteen persons, not thirteen. Don’t he silly. Understand this: Nature indulges in no senseless tricks, She kills men without hesitation for violating the laws of life, but not for assembling in groups of thirteen at dinner.'' Here’ weMvba.man ,who says he was afraid to eat. ' Why, in Mercy’s name, was he afraid to eat ? ' 3Sad he, too, some idle and foolish etnlf itt.hia head about bad luck P Not a bitv He’d been glad enough to have eaten lira thirteen party on Friday if the dinner would only have etayed on his stomach a33rx_ digested after he got it down. Bat it wouldn’t, and his fear grew out of th^t. He says, “ 1 had a fulness and tightness at the chest after meals, and such a dizziness would seize me that I could scarcely Bee. This was in the spring of 1887. 1 felt tired, dull and heavy, with a sinking sensation at the stomach. My appetite was variable, and I .didn’t know what to eat. in fact, nothing seemed to suit me. There was a feeling of weight and pain over the eyes and at the hack of my head,' I became very weak, and it was with difficulty that 1 kept on with my work. In this way I continued for twelve months, during which time I saw a doctor, and took various medicines; hut none of them did mo any good, and I grew worse. In, June, 1888,1 read in the Darlington Times about a person who had been handled just as I was, and had been cured by a medicine' called Mother Seigel’a Curative Syrup. On the strength of this 1 got a bottle from my brotaer, William Teasdale, grocer, Copley lane, and began taking it. In a short time all pain left me, and I was able to eat and digest my food, and have since been well and strong. 1 still take the Syrup occasionally, and if 1 feel any sighs of my old complaint a dose or two sets ffie right. lam a collier, and have worked at Woodland Colliery for over tea years. If you think the publication of this letter might he of use to others; yon are at liberty to make that nse of it. “Yours truly, (Signed) “ Joseph Tiasdals, “ Copley, Butterknowle,: Durham, “November sth, 1891.’’ - Now that Mr Teasdale is cured of his ailment, indigestion and dyspepsia, be would probably not refuse an ihvitation to .dine with twelve other nicepeoplaany day. And in such case we stanch-ready to : guarantee that none of ; the~ party Will die within a week, espeoiaUy if they ‘ajl take a dose of Seigel’B Syrup immediatelyor&isSag from the table. v ; ; ; v **' SEIGEL’S SYEUP.
