MORE LIKELY TO BREAK DOWN.

Who hasn't beard of the Rood old Deacon m America, and his idea of how .<» chaue should bebu It bo as to run for ever without ibpairs? I dare say we all have, yat he hasn't quite gone stale yet. He said, you remember, that the reason obaises broke down and didn't wear out was that there was always a weakest spot somewhere about them. Now, said the Deacons the way to fix it is to make that Bpot at strong as the rest. Then the vehicle might wear out, but couldn't break down. He built a ob*ioe on that principle ; it cover broke down ; it ran a hundred years exactly, and then one day it wen t to pieoes all at onoe ; all at onoe and nothing firet, just as bubbles do when they burst. Its time was come ; for, as the man says who onoe told the story m rhyme, " little of all we value here, wakes on the morn its hundredth your, without both feeling find looking queer." Yes, and long before that time most of ns begin to look and feel queer. And it's all on account of that we»k spot, too. Tf it wasn', for that we shonld be like the Deac >ns' chaise— we should run till we wear out. As it is we break down on the road, often beyond repair. But not always Otherwise a certain man could never have used thepe words, ' I feel as smart to-day as I did thirty years ago " Hia story, m his own words, runs this way ; — " From my youth I was never properly well. I bad a bad taste m the mouth and pain after eating. Often I couldn't touoh food when it was set before me. I felt a gnawing at the stomach and a tightness the chest and sides. (Sometimes my bowels were so swollen I had to loose my clothes. I had violent pains m my head for days together. This continued for years and years. About thirty years ago I began to have rheumatic pains all over me, especially m the back and legs. I got co bad T oouldn't walk without a slick, and on my way to and from my work I had to sit down and rest. " I got no proper sleep at night owing to the pain. Day nor niuht. I never knew what it was to be free from pain. As time went by I became quite crippled. Deotor after doc tor gave me medicines and rubbing bottles, but none of the things I tried did any good The doctors said my ailment wasrheumati- m and lumbago and made light of it, bnt it was serious enough to me. For thirty years T goffered dreadfully. My wife used to rub me before the fire night after night and apply flannels, relieving me only for the time. I gave up all hope of ever being well again, when m November, 1887, I read ef the good Mother Seigel's Syrnp had done m so many cases, I began to use it, and after taking a few bottles all my aches and pains left me and have never returns! since. This medioine seems to have driven all the poison out of my system, and I feel as smart to-day as I did thirty years ago, for which I thank God and Seigel's Syrup. Had lus d it eooner I should have been saved ytars of suffering." (Signed) William Stoddaet, Douglas, near Cork, Ireland, January 7th, 1892. Mr. Stoddart is gardener at Mrs. Edwards', the Island, Bonhestown, and has a shop at Douglas. He is a very respectable man and has been m service at Mrß. Edwards' twenty years In bis letter he further states that from boyhood he was a viotim to indigestion and dyspepsia. This faot explains the rheumatism, as it was the oause of it, The bile acids from the torpid stomach and liver filled the blood, lodged m the joints and muscles, and gave rise to all the consequenoeß he describes. The effeot of the Syrup was to f xpel the acids from the body and sst the digestive machinery healthily at work, for the first time m this man's life. This was the way the human vehiole broke down m Mr. Stodd art's case, but fortunately for him he otme aorosa something that had power to repair it. Hettet watch the weas spots. Delays are dangerous.
