DO THOU LIKEWISE.

When one Eeta a candle m «i window on a dark night he never can tell how many loa and bewildered travellers it may guide on their way. I once knew a dear oil lady who habitually did U on every dirk night. The road that passed her house was hlways forsaken and lonesome enough, and houses were far apart. So, on the general prinoiple of good will to men, she placed her oand'e m a sort of projeoUng window where it would thine both ways end 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 ttrange guest, yet she did what fhe could for them, arid never grumbled— pay or no pey. A ye ar or two ago a little book was printed coniaing an account by Mr John Hodson, of Warboys, Hunts, of the way he waß cured of a wasting disease by Mother Seigel's Onrative Syrup —a complaint contracted m India, where Mr Hod son was once ft soldier m the British Army. This candle of Hodson's beamed hopefully m all directions, and among others, ite rays fell upon the eyes of a woman who needed light at that particular time. How it came to paES sha tells m a Utter, from which we quote the following : — 11 1 waß" she says, "always healthy up to May, 1884, when I had an attack of gastric 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 cheet and sides, and also dreadful pain at the back and between the Bhoulder-blades, and a sinking feeling at the. pit of the stomach. My legs trembled and shook under me, so I could cot walk out. Indeed, it was as muoh as I cculi do to get across the floor. A dry, hacking cough set m and shook me very moob, and I lost a deal of sleep. 11 Aa I grew weaker I was confined fo my bed mote and more, and my daughter was obliged to take my rjaca m doing the housework. A dootor attended me for over a year. He tried first one kind of medicine and then anothtr, but none of them helped me. At the end of the year the dootor said he could do no more for me, and recommended my as a last resort to try a change of eir. "I had got to despair of ever getting better when a book was sent to me full of statements from different people, teeing how they had baen made well of various complaints by using Mother Seigel's Curative tSyrup, and I read of a young man liviDg at Warboys, near me, having been cored m a marvellous manner by this medicine. I got a bottb from Messrs Palmer and Sons, Chemktß, Ranieey, and after I had taken it a week I felt relief and gained strength. All ;«>/ pain left me, and I have never looked behind me since. I take an occasional dose of the Symp and keep m excellent health. I give you full permission to use this letter as you think fit. Youn truly, (Signed) Sarah Mason, Rameey Heights, Ramsey, Hunts, January 27ih. 1892. What bet er use could we poesibly put this lady's letter to than to publish it ? In this way it has fallen into the present readers handd, and may turn out to be a candle m tho window to chow him refage and ehelter besides some long and gloomy path. A word more on this very point. It is not a matter of ohoice whether wg 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 tingle part is neglected the rest must piy the penalty. Therefore set candles m windows. If, for instance Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup has done you good, say so, publish it, make it known. Others near yon m^y be groping m darkness. And it is all tbe more a eubjeot of rejoicing that this remedy, as m the above oase, conquers indigestion and dyspepsia, beoanse that complaint it is which clouds the sun for millions on Life's bard road.
