DO THOU LIKEWISE.
When one seta a candle m a window on a dark night he sever can tell now many los and bewildered travellers it may guide on tbeir way. I once knew a dear oH lady who habitually did it on every dark night. The road that passed her houae was always forsaken and lonesome enough, and houses were far apart. So, on the general prinoiple of good will to men, she placed her candle m a sort of projecting window where it would Ehine both ways and do the most good. She is dead and gone now, but let ub hope that her family keeps up the custom. To be sure it brought her many a etrange guest, yet she did what ehe oould for them, and never grumbled— pay or no pay, A year or two ago a little book was printed containg an aocount by Mr John Hodson, of Warboys, Huntß, of the way he was cured of a wasting disease by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup— a complaint contracted m India, where Mr Hod son was once a soldier m the British Army. This candle of Hodßon's beamed hopefully m all directions, and among others, its rays fell upon the eyes of a woman who needed light at that particular time. How it came to pass Bha t? 11s m a letter, from which we quote the following : — " I was" she Bays, "always healthy up to May, 1884, when I had an attack of gastrio fever, which left me low and feeble. J had a bad taste m the mouth, and after everything I ate I had great pain m the chest and sides, and also dreadful pain at the back and between the shoulder-blades, and a sinking feeling at the pit of the stomach. My legs trembled and shook under me, bo I oould not walk out. Indeed, it was as muoh as I could do to get aoroes the floor. A dry, haoking cough set m and shook me very muoh, and I lost a deal of sleep. 11 &B I grew weaker I wa3 confined io my bad more and more, and my daughter was obliged to take my place m doing the housework. A dootor attended me for over a year. He tried first cne kind of medicine and then another, but none of them helped me, At the end of the year the doctor said he could do no more for me, and recomtrended m« as a last resort to try a change of sir* •'I had got to despair of ever getting better when a book was sent to me full of statements from different people, telling how they had been made well of various complaints by usiDg Mother Seigel's Curative tiyrup, and I read of a young man living at Warboys, near me, having been onred m a marvellous manner by this medicine. I got a bottle from Meesis Palmer and Sons, Ohemiets, Bameey, and after I had taken it a week I felt relief and gained strength. All my pain left me, and I have never looked behind me since. I take an occasional dose of the Syrup and keep m excellent health. I give you full permission to use this letter as you think fit. Yours truly, (Signed) Sarah Mason, Ramsey rleights, Ramsey Hunts, January 27th. 1892. What bet er use could we possibly put this lady's letter to than to publish it ? In this way it has fit lion into the present readerß hand*, and may turn out to be a oandle m tha window to chow him refuge and shelter besides some long and gloomy path. A word more en this very point. It is not a matter of choice whether ws are to help one another. We are obliged and bound to do so by every consideration of morality and utility. Humanity is like the body of one man ; if a single part is neglected the rest must pay the penalty. Therefore eet oanoles m windows. If, for instance Mother Seigel's Curativa Syrup has done you good, say so, publish it, make it known. Others near you may be groping m darkness. And it is sll the raora a subjeot of rejoicing that this remody, as m the above oase, conquers indigestion and dyspepsia, beoanso that complaint it is which clouds the sun for millions on Life's hard road.
