should be a sight so common as not to be remarked, and will be yet in (he future. Why not so now Y Ask yourself the question,” as the boatmen say down on Deal beach. Here’s how it is: A woman’s tale. She says she fell ill when a girl of about 15. She lost her appetite, had pains in the sides and chest, frequent headaches, and was often obliged to lie down on the couch and rest. All this didn’t promise long life, did it ? No; it was a bad start. Well, she got got worse instead of better. She was often sick, vomited her food, and spitting up a sour fluid. For five years she went on this way. This brings us to October, 1881. She was then in service as parlour-maid at Leamington Hastings, Warwickshire. Here she suffered from constant sickness, retching, and heartburn. The chest pains were so bak as to bend her two double. No position that she could take relieved her. Her stomach was so tender and sore that anything she ate pained and distressed her. For months and months she only took liquid food—milk and beaten eggs, an 1 so on. She got weaker and weaker every day, so she says. Of course; how else could it be ? A doctor at Eugby told her she had “ ulceration of the chest,” which she didn’t at all. What is “ ulceration of thechest ”? He gave her medicines and’advice, but she grew no better on that account. This young lady was now about 20 years old. with a poor outlook for ever being much older. She didn’t expect it, nor did her friends. Then another doctor, being consulted, said “ulceration of the chest,” like his medical brother at Eugby. Both wrong “ After six months’ medical treatment,” she says, “ I gave up my situation and returned to my home at Buxton Lamas, Norfolk. This was in the month of June, 1882. Then I was taken so bad I had to take to my bed. My mother thought I was in a decline.”

Now, the word “decline” means consumption, as we all know ; a disease common in England [and incurable everywhere. Thousands of bright girls and young men “decline” into their graves every year in this populous island. Sad enough it is to see. Well, at this point her good and wise mother interfered in her daughter’s case. She gave the doctors the go-by and sent to Norwich for some bottles of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. In two weeks the young patient began to feel better, and in three months she got a new situai ion and went to work. , “Since then, fifteen years ago,” she says, “I have kept in better health than ever before in my life, thanks to Scigel’s Syrup. Yours truly, (Sgd), (Mrs) Saiiaii Eleanor Baker, 8, King’s Street, Church Road, Tottenham, near London, Sept. 30th, 1892.” A dozen words more and we’re done. Mrs Baker’s ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia, nothing else, and quite enough. The “ ulceration ” was inflammation of the inner coating of the stomach, a symptom of the disease. We wish her a long and happy life, and merely add that if all her sex could avoid or cure this one trouble most of them might live to be as old as Granny Gorton.
