WHAT DREAMS MAY COME.

It? a reoeut Icoture at the Royal InatitntioD, Dr B. W. Riahordson sajß that tbe slesp of health is dreamless. "Dreaas," any* Shakespeare, " are children of an idle brain." I! both the doctor and the poet ate right it follows that idh brains are un« heuli by brain?. No doubi there might be trnth in tbe inference, bat that is not quite the point, Are all dreams signs of a diseaeed condition? To this the doctor saya " No." He divides dre»ma into two olaaßea ; tho?a st&ited by noises or other oauses oat side the sleeper, and those produced by pain, fever, or indigestion. Here we inject a faofc. We received multitudes of letters containing this affirmation, filmoatinidentioal words ;'• I was tvorse tired in the morning than when I ivent to bed " To this the doctor his an answer. lie says, 11 When toe feel wearied in the morning very likely it results from dreams that we have forgotten." Quite so. In other words there is a bodily oondition which may prevent a person from working by dsy at his usual calling, but obliges him to labour all nigbt under a mental stimulus of whioh he knows nothing s&ve by its resulting exhaustion. Thesa unhappy wretches toil harder, therefore, for no compensation, when th-y are ill, than they have to do to earn a living wben they are well. What an infernal and frightful fact ! And tbia too without taking into aooount their phyeioal puffering at all times. " Night," said Coleridge, " is my hell." From one cf the letters referied to we quote what a woman says of her danght9r ; " She was worse tired in the morning than when she went to bed " Poor gir!. Those "fo.-fcotttn dreams" had toßEed her about bb a ship is tossed in a tempeet. Night was her day of labour. The mother's simple iale i3 this : "In June, 18S0, my daughter Ann El zibetb became low, weak, and fretful, and complained of pain in the cfcst after eating. Next her stomsch was ao irritable that she vomited all the food she took. It was awful to Bee her heave and strain. For three weeks nothing parsed through her stomach exaept a little sooa water and lime water. Later on, her feet and legß began to swell and puff from dropsy. She was now psle as death and looked as though she had not a drop of Mood in her body, and was always cold. Month after month dragged by and fhe got weaker every day. bhe oooH not walk without support, for she had lost 'he proper use of her legs, and her body sw&ye'J fro 3i tide to aide as sh9 moved. "As a dcotor amended her for twelve months, and finally said it was no use giving her medicine as it would do no gooi, in May, 1891, 1 took h6r to tbe Da^sbnry Infirmatory. Bhe got co better the?i?, and I thought 1 was surely going to loaa hsr. She waß then thirteen years of aj^. " One day a Wiy (Mrs Ln:htoller) cabled at my shop, and eeeing bow had my d-uigb-ter was, spoke of a medioine oftlled Mother SeigeFs Curative Sjrup, and percuaded us to try it, I f>ofc a bottle from 'he Thornhill Leea Co-o/erative Store?, snd the began t ikins it In two days she found a little relief; the Bick ess was not so frequent. She kept on with the Syiup acd steadily improved, goon she was strong as ever, and has einoo been in the best of health an.l oan take any knd of food. After she had taken tbe Byiup only two w?eks tbe neighbours were surprised at her improved appearance aud I told them whac had brought it about — that Seigd's Syrup bad done what the doctors oouldnot do, it saved her life.
