JUDGE SLOWLY.

It is not "always, an easy matter to judge correctly, of. tlib quality of things. Less than one.inla thousand of us is capable of accurately estimating ■the worth of a picture; not more than one in a hundred the quality of:a'horse. In general, judgments rapidly made are of small value. "Did you ever notice," recently inquired a visitor to an. English University town of his compattioni as they sat together on a veran- ,>. '.' qiteer-looking old fellow with the. idiotic ;'face, 'turned-tip coat collar, and boots seven .sizes too large who passes here every'morning'at 11?" "Many a- time," replied the other., "he is Professor of Comparative' Grammar to , tho University of — , and :spe'alis 14- modern languages, to say nothing of his.maaterv of Greek, Latin, and Hiibrqw.",- The. 'incident will serve to show tho' : futility. of-superficial judgment. Many judgnierits which" pass unchallenged are none the less deplorably wrong, more especially.in matters which require a practical tost. Who can say positively whether a certain has the power to cure fome particular malady or not without giving it a trial?. ...,-..'

When the •friend of -Mr-Michael Fitzpatriek, of 60 Forbes street, Wdolloomooloo, Sydney, N.5.W.,. advised him to take Mother Spißel's Curative Syrun for the cure of indigestion; he backed his advice with some cxcollent reasons—excellent because his judgment of thai remedy was based upon actual experience of . its merit. Says Mr Fitzpatrick in a letter written cm the 20th June, 1902: "For many years I suffered terribly from- indigestion and biliousness, and spent pounds and.pounds on doctors' medicines arid so-.ealled cures; but without avail. In those days I had no appetite, and the little food I ate turned sour on my stomach, causing severe attacks of heartbunn. I was also troubled with pains in the chest, violent headaches, and habitual constipation. In fact, at one time or other I suffered from most of the symptoms which characterise- a sluggish livnv and impaired digestion. .-My Worst affliction, however, •Kas-.'.k total- inability to obtain sufficient sleep. I would go to bed feeling worn-out mid sleepy, but as soon as my head touched the pillow by brain would become unnaturally active, and I would think of every kind of subject,.and roll and 'toss about between the sheet?, listening to the Fish Market Clock as it, chimed hour after hour, until all my nerves were in a quiver. Than'' I would rise and walk the floor, backwards and forwards, the greater portion of the night. For years I had been in this wretched state, when one day a friend fortunately called to- see me. I was trying the hot water euro at the time, arid was just in- the act of drinking a cupfnl'of steaming liquid. He asked me what I. was taking it for. I described my troubles' to 'him,' and in reply to a further question informed him .that I had not,' eo far, gained any relief from the hot-water, treatment. He advised nie to abandon- it and try Mother Seigel's Curative' Syrup instead. He.pfave ine such excellent reasons for doing so that I accepted his advice-advice which, I am thankful to say. has had the very best results. After taking only one small bottle I felt very much better. As I continued to take the Syrup, so did I continue to improve in health, and in Ims than two months my euro was accomplished. That was three years ago, and I have remained in good health ever since, which proves conclusively \l*K " l g ' no ' |mere l >ass ' n k relief 'that Mother .Seigel's Curative Syrup affords to sufferers from, indigestion, 'but permanent cure. Now I am careful never to he without a bottle of the Syrup on hand, as I take .a dose occasionally to counteract the ill effects of. my-sedentary occupation—for I am a bootmaker by trade—and for this purpose I find it acts like a charm."
