The Mount Peel Hoad Board met on Friday present weve Messrs Tripp, Dennistoun, and Thew. Mr-Tripp was voted- to the chair. ters were received from Mr Riddle and Mr McKay, giving a price forpaipting a; cottage at Fairlie. The price was considered too high, and the clerk was instructed. to’measure up the ,work.'_ Mr H. .wrote,; complaining p! the state of Turner’s road, and asking the Board to protect a dangerous place at the side of the road. The clerk reported that Turner’s road was' in excellent order from end to end, excepting at Clark’s mill, where the water-table, and catchwater drain had been filled in with sawdust. The Board decided not to erect the fence, seeing that there were so many equally dangerous places on roads with much, larger traffic. The clerk was instructed to inform Mr Clark that the sawdust must be removed, and the road restored-to its original condition; The clerk reported that he had not passed X. Sugrue’s contract, No. 20; the The Board decided that Mr Sugrue must either 5 complete Jus" work or accept £l2, in full payment ior: work. done. Accounts" amounting to £63 16s ‘ 3dwere passed for payment, and the Board ro’se. In the half-yearly-report of the Directors of the. Manchester Ship Oanar rer cently issuedi the: receipts bn the canal’ revenue account amounted to £81,214, and the expenditure, including £36,701 for dredging-andothermaintenance.and £1792 for. exceptionally .heavy law; exSenses, .to £BB,6437'"ieaving a debit alance of £7429. The debit balance on the net -revenue, account brought, forward; jrom last , half year was £7.9.212, which is increased by the addition of interest .on mortgage debentures for the half year, namely, £157,242. The total debit tjalance at the date of the account amounted to, £213,382, but, as the Corporation of Manchester have allowed their... .interest, ... now., amounting. to £281,259,.t0 remain in arrear, there was an available balance of £67,868. The gross receipts from the canal amounted to £81,214, an increase upon the corresponding period last year of £18,177. The total- tonnage for the half year was 823,079, as compared with 600,100 in 1895.- Seargoing traffic continues tb in- ; crease. The. expenditure on the Ship Oanabreyenue. account .during the half year was £7429 In excess of the receipts, because the dredging and other full maintenance were for; the first time charged'tb revenue. I! the rate of increase for the current half year should be in the same proportion as hitherto the year’a wprking of. the Ship Canal undertaking would as a whole just about clear all expenses, leaving the Bridge-water-nett revenue intact.

ONLY A LITTLE AT A TIME. There - are sound objections to one’s knowing too much about.hia own body. lam goingjto tell you what they are : not to-day, but soon. To make sure of them you will have to watch these articles sharply in the newspapers. Yet we should know a little ; and a fraction of that.little.l willserve up now. Please favour me with your attention. “ Right across the middle of the body is a large, thin, flat muscle, stretched like a canyass .awning—the diaphgram. By it "'you ..are divided into two large storeys or compartments. The upper one contains the heart and lunge, the lower one contains (chiefly) the stomach, the intestines, and the liver. The most painful (internal) .diseases occur downstair: .thefleastpairiful upstairs. The entire right side bf the lower compartment,, from'the top dpwii to the shorts fibs; is. filled by the liver, which is suspended to a mere point of the diaphgfami3 f fifd ? :'Bhakes about with every movement you make. Now, from the location of the liver we have~a~wbrd'nse'drfor'ages toexpress one of the most unhappy conditions a human being can fall into—the word hypochondria (often abbreviated to “ A/w”), the word meaning tmder>'flu} ectrtilayes. ; , vJ* dent, “ complaint of J the liver,, rf was sallow and dry, and the whites' eyes yellow. I had much "pain and weight at my fight side, and was constantly depressed and melancholy. It jseeraed to be out of my power to take a'Tropeful or cheerful view of anything ThePfleet of this complaint on the mind was one of the aspects of its hardest to -bear.“I had lost appetite, and ate to support life : but there was no more any genuine relish for food or drink. The bad t taste in my mouth . made all that I took- taste bad.. Sometimes 1 wouldjbe taken:siek and throw all ,that I had : eaten ; and after a meal, no matter how slender and simple, 1 was troubled - witit fullness and pain at the chest. I used mahy kinds of medicines and while some of them may have relieved me for the moment, none conferred any lasting benefitrand T was-soon as bad as ever. “Tn March, 1892; I read in a Small book of what Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup haddone.incases similartb mine,and was especially interested in the account given in the book of the nature and duties of . the liyer, and .its ..disorders, I got a bottle of the Syrup from Boots’ Drug Stores,aricLafter taking it a few days felt . quite like ,a new man. It seemed to correct my stomach and liver and clear my system of all bile ; and it left me in - capital healths Since that time I have kept Mother Seigel’s Syrup in the house as a family medicine and have commended it to all my friends as the best known* cure for ailments like the one from which I suffered so miserably and so long.: Youoariuse this statement as you like.

Being only seventeen years ,old when the trouble began I was greatly alarmed arid anxious.r .No. doctor ; was able to help me, and I continued thus for over three years.? iln June,; 1894, I began to use Mother" Seigel’s Syrup and soon felt better,, lighter, and more cheerful. And by taking it a few weeks longer I recovered my health and strength. Since then, when I have any stomach, liver, or kidney symptoms I resort to Mother Seigel’s Syrup and it never fails to set me right. • You can publish this letter. (Signed) 0. Hanson, 6, New Inn Lane, Gloucester, May 31st, 1895.” The stomach, the liver* and the kidneys are all connected, parts of the food and digestive system: When disordered (usually through torpidity of the stomach) they cripple the body arid throw a gloom as of night over the. mind.
