THE WANTED TO SEE THE WHEELS GO ROUND."

There wai onoe a bright baby boy who loved to examine the internal structure of his uncle' a watch ia or.ier, as he remarked, that he might "tee the wheeh go round.' Smart aud squiring fellow 1 Some day be may make a watch that will keep better time than those which are made to sell and can with difficulty keep up with tho days of the week, to say nothing of hours and minutep. But for a hundred persons who know how a watch is constructed how many know what kind of " works" are inside thoir own bodies? Not one, Now the heart is the human pendulum, Sometimes it beats too fast and tometiinea too slow. What makes it act in that way? Can you tell? I'ossibJy not. When its irregularity frightens you, you Bee " a doctor " Why don c you study up the subjtot yourself; and learn as much abu t it «a any locomotive drivor is bound to know about his engine ? Can'c ! Yes you can, Look here, for instance. A man writei thus : " My heart would throb and beat as if it might jump oue of its place." the "wheels" were going much too rapilly within his boJy, He was "giimng tinW at a fearful rate, ana when that happens a mau nears Lib death fatter than it is pleasant to think of. What was wrong with the machinery ? Suppose wo kok into it and try and find our, He Bays that up to April, IS9O, ho had always enjoyed good health. Ac that date he had an attics of iLfluenza, or the ''grip." This left him in a weak condition, as it commonly does One morning, in tho followitg July, ho found a great patch of eruption, resembling ringworm, covering his thighs, which gradually spread until it covered the abdomen aud all the lower pa<-t of his body. After tins his appetite failed, and the natural and necessary act of eating caufeed him great pain in the chest. Ho adds : " The wind rolled around my chest and drovo all tho b'ood into my head." No doubt he describes the aeneation correctly, but the fact probably wad that iheie was too little bbod in hia head rather than too much, and the wind had nothing to do with it. Hu bystem was underfed through the diseabe, and hn bodi'y machine was running too fast from very weaknesi, net frum Burplus p >wer ; just as a bhip roila and tumbles about on the uea from liwk of ballast. I " i would go into a great heat,'" he says, ! •'and the pain aud a were so bal that I feireu I nhould lall down in a lit, At one time my nauds and feet were cold and clammj, aud at other times they would j burn as if stung with nrtt*eß. For ovn three month? I outmued like this, getting weaker aud weaker every day." Cert iuly, what elhe could be expected ? 1 Feeling now very anxious," he proceeds to say, " I Baw a d ctor, who gave me meriiciuea aud embrocations, but tliey were of no use, and I got wor^e. It August, IS9O, it was I road m the Freeman'a Journal about Mother Seigel's yrup, and and thought it might possibly help me. I procured a bottle from the Medical Hall, Ballmamore, and ti my surprise after taking it I was much better. Further usa of the Syrup caus d the eruptiou, or rash, to disappear, and rry food began to relish I could soon eat anything I was completely oured and was ab e to work again I thank God that Se gel's Syrup was made known to me, and 1 am Wishful to inform the public of its excellence bo that other poor sufferers may try it."

Mr OHara is a farmer, and is well known and respected in his district Iho ailmeut ho doscnbes was indigestion and dyspepsia, which produced tho palpitation of the heart by tLo pressure again .t is of the stomach ; the latter being infilled with gas generated by ttie ferment fool. The poison Irotn the same source also entered the blood and threw tho brain and nervous systtm into disorder thus asciating in the genera' colbpse. When Seigei'a Syrup had expelled tlid poison, aud set tho digestive machinery ojce more in motion, strength returned aa a matter of coursj, and the heart did its clutj rtgul 'rly and witn itauatuia 1 power. Had Mr O'lUra understood that all hia various aches and paina had one and tho tamo cngm he would have been leas disconcerted. The inference &eems to be that there is nothing like Mother beigel ■ r,ymp to m^k^ the human clock keep time ana to repair it wh n out of ordtr.
