NOBODY WILL STEAL THEM.

There art- two re.i-on« why the Crown jewels are tie\er stolen from the Tower of London. They are in a strong place, well guarded, ami are dangerous things to handle when dishonestly cenie by. Moat losses of valuable* are due hitherto carelessness on the put <■( the owners or custodians, or to bribeiy Perhaps the burglar's vocation is uniler n>> circumstances in absolutely sat"* 1 one, hut iii t infrequently he chances upon i "j l> " which is lioth easy and lucrative. I do nt mrntion this fact for the unworthy purpose of inducing any of tiie youth of the land to enter into the profession, but solely to throw illustrative upon quite another theme. Still there is a relation between them, and we shall hit it after we have talked a bit about the case of Mrs Mary Rowlands, who lives in Wales. The lady say- that no longer ago than Feb(lS')6) she had a sever.- atta?k of influenza, followed by bronchitis. At this point we are concerned to know whether the influen/i was in any sense responsible for the bron chitis, as cause and effect. If so, why ? It is well understood, of course, in Kngland, where influenzi is s<. common, that other ailments do follow it, yet probably, the majority of us have not settled in our minds the

reasou of it. , At all events, Mrs 1 tow lands bad a low, bad time. The trouble lingered along as sometimes, winter does, aw ay into the period proper for May blossoms. She could not seem to get the better of the throat ailment nor master the lethargy and weakness left her as a legacy by the influenza. Her condition may be likened unto that of a ship which has indeed survived a gale, but finds herself stripped of the sails needed to enable her to take adv intake of gentler winds. The la h s hope of getting back her lost strength by taking plenty of solid nourishing food was illusory. Kvery meal of that kind caused fearful distress in the stomach and acute pain at the chest. Nature distinctly repudiated the solid food, and almost as strenuously objected to the liquids, sii. h as | broths, teas, and milk. It looked as if Mrs , Row lands must starve at lu row n table. I Then came on aM lunatic symptoms, so bad she was often obliged to :_asp for breath. , between this combination of complaints she | got but little rest day or nicht. Soon after arcs-' a tliriat of a still moieseiivus disease : —a threat luppi'y not tultill-d. I n-fer to the cold, clammy swats ih.,t broke out on , her, pnntii'-.' to a fatal decline. The fear : was natural. as cum Consumption, with Ins ' poisoned dart, o::ellappr a .dies by that same : road. •• I became so reduced and feeble," the I la ly writes.

Her system was J weakened and her blood rendered impure by ! indigestion. That is the main point. 'That j is why she was open to the attacks of intlu- i enza, bronchitis, and asthma. Her body I castle beir.g weak, the precious jewel of j health was s'o'en. Keep the digestion strung and the blood j clean and pure, by the frei|iient use ot Mother Seigei's Syrup, and there will be no , soil for the germs of disease to grow in. The : system, thus guarded, protects the health as j tlie walls and doors of the Towers hold safe the Crown jewels.
