NOBODY WILL STEAL THEM.

There are tjvo reasons’ why the Crown jewels are never stolen from the Tower of Condon. They are ih a'strong place" well guarded, and-.are dangerous things to handle when dishonestly 'colnb byr"~v Most losses of yalunhles ai’e due either to-oarelessnesa on/the y>aH of'custodians, or to' bribery.Xjperhaps'tlje burglat’s location is under no circumstances an absolutely safe one,, but not, infrequently. be chances upon a “job” which is both easy and lucrative. 1 do not-, mention this fa»t for the umvortny purpose of inducing any of the youth, of the land to enter the profession, but solely to throw illustrative light upon another theme. Still there is a relation between them, and we shall hit it after we have talked a bit about the case of Mrs Ma% T .Rowlands, who lives in Wales. The lady says that no longer ago than February (1898) she. had a severe attack of influenza, followed by bronchitis. At this "oim we are concerned to know' whether the influenza wms in any sense responsible for the bronchitis, as cause and effect. If so, .why? It is'well understood, of course in England, where influenza. is so common, that other ailments do follow' it ; yet probably, the majority of us have not, settled in our, minds the reason of it.’ At all events, Mrs Rowlands had a low, bad time. The trouble lingered along as, sometimes, winter does, away down into the period proper for .May blossoms. She could not seem to get better of the throat ailment nor master the lethargy and weakness - left her as a legacy by the influenza. Her condition may be likened unto that of a ship which has indeed survived a gale, but finds herself stripped of the sails needed to enable her to take advantage of gentler, winds. The lady’s hope of getting back her lost strength by taking plenty of solid nourishing food wms illusory. Every meal of that kind" caused fearful distress in the stomach and' Acute "pain in the chest. Nature distinctly repudiated the solid food, and almost as strenuously, objected to the liquids; such as broths, teas, ami milk. It looked as if Mrs Rowlands must starve at her own table. ' ■

Then came on asthmatic symptoms, so bad she was often obliged to gasp for breath. Between this combination of complaints she got but little rest day or night, Soon after arose a. threat of a still more series disease a threat happily not yet fulfilled. I refer to the cold, clammy sweats that broke out upon her, pointing to a fatal decline. The fear was natural, as grim Consumption, with his poisoned dart, often approaches by that same road.

“I became so- reduced and feeble,” the lady writes, “that my daugheter had to nurse me constantly. I could not get into or out of bed without her help. In the house, or to* others, I wms of no use at all. The doctor who> attended me left nothing untried that he knew of; but, in spite of all he did, I grew worse and worse.

“Where I should have been to-day, whether in the land of the living or not who can tell, if kind Providence had not intervened to save me ? In some way my husband heard of Mother Seigel’s Svrup, and persuaded me to try it. 1 began taking it and: soon felt better. My appetite returned, and mil kinds of food agreed with me. With plenty of nourishment I gained strength rapidly. The asthma and the bronchial trouble vanished, and almost before I could realise it, I found myself in the best of health, and have continued so’to be ever since. For my remarkable and unexpected recovery I am tinder'obligation to Mother Seigel’s Syrup; and ,so ,Itell all whom I know.”—(Signed) MARY ROWLANDS, Deri, via. Cardiff. August 31; 1898. One thing Mrs Rowlands says in: her letter which I have reserved for this ulace, namely, that she was a dyspeptic. Her system was-weakened and her blood rendered impure by indegestjon. That is the main point. That it is why shewat .open to attacks of ' influenza, bronchitis and asthma. Her body castle, being weak, the precious jewel of health was Stolen. 1 , . , -

Keep the digestion strong and the blood clean and pure by the frequent use of Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and there will be no soil for the germs of disease to grow' in. The system, thus' guarded, protects the health as the’walls and doors of the tower hold safe, the Crown jewels.
