GENERAL JACKSON WAS DEFEATED.

" The only way he could obtain relief was to have a sapling partially cut and bait down so he could lean out r it with his abdomen pressed hard against the tree aud the ends of his toes and fingers Just touching the ground A' "' J n Mercy's name, thiuk of anybody beimz driven to such a resort as that ? And yet what does trouble care for high or low ? This was one of the most famous men that ever lived — General Jack Eon, a military genius scarcely second to C.-e^ar or Napoleon. Yot only to faucy this great general and statesmen in the grotesque, even ridiculous, attitude above described! What could havo mado this foarkss fighter cry for quart, r ? Let tho histoiiau tell. "Goneral Jackson was tortured by acute dyspepsia, aud the only way he obtaiu relief was to have a sapling partially cut and bent down so he could lean over it, with his abdomen pressed pressed hard agaiust fcho tre*3 and the endsof his toes and fingers just touching the ground." We quote from Mr Oliver Dyer's " Life of Jackson," published iv 1891.

1 1 is clear ouough. In surrendering to such an enemy Geueral Jackson only did what other heroes have done — Napoleon

- ; moug them. It follows that whosoever can cure this disease (which is universal) holds tho world iv the hollow of his hand. All sorts and conditions of men havo a stake in this contest; and thore isu'b a woman to whom it isn't as important as tho roof over her head.

Here is a straw that- shows which way tho wiud blows. "In August, 2889," writes the witness. " I had paiu after eating, and vomited all my food. Fov a week at a time nothing would stay on my stomach. I had a bad taste in the mouth, and a slimy phlegm wou d gather im my mouth ana stick in my throat, causing me to bo sick, i was tired all duy long, and even more co in the morning tbau when I went to bed at night. After a while I began to be troubled with shortness of breath and a sense of fulness or constriction in the throat, co that at times it seemed as if I musfc choke. Thero was fearful paiu iv my left side, aud a most oppressing feeling of tightness rouud my waist and ab my chest, i lost a great deal of sleep, and at night I only dozed for an hour or two. You will easily believe me when I say that I became dreadfully weak and lay in bed for three weeks at a time. " Duriug my illness I had four doctors attending me, yet 1 grew so bad that one of them called an additional doctor in consulatiou. On this occasion 1 thought I was going to die, aud all who called to geo mo were of tho same opinion. Aftor L had suflL-red iv this uiauner for .six mouths my brother Alfred toJd me of the great benefit hia wife had received from takiug a medicine called Mother Seigel'u Syrup, and persuaded mo to try it. I did so, and after haviug taken a few doses my food digested, and I felt easier and gained tome strength. By the time I used threo bottles I wus back at my work, stroug and hearty, and iuve 6ince been iv good health. 1 am a forgeman, and have worked ut the Carbrook Forge over sixteen years. 1 have recommended this remedy to many persons, upon whom ib haß hud tho same good eflect. You have my freo consent to publish my letter it you thiuk fie. I answer inquiries. (Signed) " Geokoe DiniiY. " 010, Bright Street, Carbn.ok, bhetfiold, "October 7tb, 1891.' We are credibly informed that Mr. Darby's lather has resided iv th tt district more than thirty years, and tho family are well known and highly res, ected. ' Bub what ailoi Mr Gcorgo Darby? lv reply we seem to hear a chorus of 10,000 Kui>lisLi voices, whose owners havo suffered as he did, uud been cured by the same agent that at least restored his heultb, and perhaps snatched him from a yawning graye — iudigestiou aud dyspepsia, the bane aud cuise of every civilisod nation. Anybody can destroy life : what shall be said of Mother Sugel, whoso mission was to save it F Poor General Jackson ! Dyspepsia killed him at lasb. But thab was many a year before Seigel's Syrup was discovered if it had ouly beeu known iv his day! Bub, wby talk so? Spriug comes uoue the sooner because men die of winter's cold.
