MR DUANE, OF AUCKLAND.
We shall print the whole of Mr Isaac Duane'g letter, only regret tu g that it is not longer. He might J^aye mentioned that Juae,the month in. which he wrote, U tho coldest month in the year in bis couutry, and January tho nbttcst. He might also have reminded us tUsb New Z«ia- ' land is almost as large «a Great BritairifWUh £ much' more desirable climate. - He might further have laid that it is a. wholesome place to live in, as it cmtains few pliy*ic*l'jsoureeß of disease, and lOJßessrs no ii.s^ct so liox ous M the English wasp. Yet on readiDg his letter we shall find that tbess; a'-traotive islands in the far Southtrn Sen ace not free from an enemy we are called upon to light here in England »a else* where throughout the world. " I have much pleasure in writing you," i»y« Mr DuAne, " a» to me it is a privilege as well as a duty to desoribo an experience in which I am confident jou will be interested.. " Ever siuca I was a br>y I have not only suffered from indigestion in its worst form, bat I have been a martyr to it. Such success in lifo as I have achieved has been in the face of the constant oppstifcion set up by this miserabla oomplnint. All its sjmptoim are familiar to me as tbe saioko,of London is to a dweller in that rn.lb.er grim old city. The bad taste in the mouth, tho fitful appeiifce, the distress in the stomach after eating, the pains iv the cheat «nd back, the dull headache, the sense of weazinei a and fatigue, the deprestion of spirits, tho want of ambition to take hold of any labour, the weakness resulting from lack of sufficient nourishment, &c— all these were part and parcel of my life from my youth to a time I am going to speak of in a moment. " I can only acccuut for it by assuming that 1 must have inherited a t ndenoy to this disease. At all evtnts it cast a gloom over my whole bisloiy up to the date of my receut happy I deliverance. The record of the sleepless, wretched nights I parsed would make almost a volume by itself. Times beyond counting I have arisen from my bed in the morning, glad the night was gone, and yet iv no frame of mind to welcome, the day. 'To the chronic i dyf-peptic rest does not brh»g strength «s it does | to others. , 11 You will hardly need to be told that I made every effort to obtain a cure. I tried modicite after medicine— now something I thought of myself and thtn sometlrng advertised in the ntw-p-parn. Aad a< to do tors (against whxm | I tie. ire to 8"y cot a word), I (red one after another, ai.d fathfully used the proscriptions I ttey gave me ; but nothing more than temporary relief e&mo of it. " About four years tgj a friend spoke to me of the gteat reputation ef Mother Seigel's Sjrop iv curing all ail incuts of the dig<*tiou, and ! urged me to make a trial of iti 1 might aa well cay frankly that I had IHt'e faith tba*i it would do me any good ; but I was in such pw'n thai I vms iv a muod (o try anjthirg that offered the remotest cbanoo of a euro. So I bought a bottle, and the very first doso made me feel better. This was so cheering and hopeful that I continued taking the Syrup, and to my iurprise I grew better and better until I was cured. All the symptoms which made my life a burden for so m&uy ycurs are now gor.-e, and I am a d fftirent man. If ever, from any cause, I have a temporary rccurietcj of iiuligcttion, a few does of Mother Seigel's Syrup produces immediate relief, and leaves me in good health. You have my full consent to publish this letter. I ana well kuown in Auckland, and altvuys glad to tell anyqpo by word of mouth whut a wonderful cure your remedy workod in my c.-ue. (Signed) leaac Duano, coßohbuilder, Kxr^iicahape Road, Auckland, Now Zealand; Jun.s2s 1895." Our homo readers will perceive that not in England alone, but in far distant quarters of the globe, this celebrated medicine is known, and is successful where others do not avail. It is the most commonplace of truths that its praises are sounded wherever eiviligttion extend?, and a'mosb in every written language tbe name of Mother Seigel's Syrup finds an acknowledged place.
The Dunstan Times states that some splendid crops may bj looked for in the Blacks district; this year. Gcass is also in abundance.
