STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE.

To the Editor of Saturday Night, Birmingham. I recently came into possession of oertain facts of so remarkable a natnre, that I am sure you will bs glad to assist in making them publio. The following letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them forthePress. Tbey come from a highly responsible source, and may be received without question. MESSAGE bbou Geobqb James Gobituro, L.D.9., 8.0.8 1., Ph.0.1., Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18th, 1889. To Mb Whiib, The enolosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. The statement was entirely voluntary, and is tenuine in fact and detail. G. J.G. "To the Proprietors of Motber Seigel's " Syrup. " Gentlembn, — The following remarkable cure was related to me by the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Finborougb, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheuma- ■ tism and neuralgia, and although compara- ■ tively a young woman at the time she was -lacked (she is now fifty), she was compelled, in consequence, to_ walk with two sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain. About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's Operating -Mils, the use of her limbs were restored, and she is now able to walk three miles to towmarkot with ease, frequently doing |th» distance in three-quarters of an hour. Any sufferer who doubts this story can fully asceruin its truthfulness by paying a visit to tho village and enquiring of the > villagers, who will certify to tbe facts. " Appended is tbe husband's signature to the statement. (" B. Spink.) " G. J. Gosi-iKo, " Ipswioh Street, "Stowmarket." This is certainly a very pitiable case, atd the happy cure wrought by tbis simple but powerful remedy, must movo tbe sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for twenty of hor best years j yeara in whioh she should have had suoh comfort and enjoyment as life has to give. But, on tbo contrary, she was a

miserable burden to herself and a source of oare to her frienda, Now, at an age when - the reat of us are growing foeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what g a wonder it ia 1 No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord haß enabled men to discover a remedy oapable of bringing about a cure that reminds us— we speak it roverently — of the age of miracles. i\ It should be explained that this moßt . remarkable cure is due to the faot that rheumatism is a disease of the blood. Indigeßtion, constipation, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested food to | enter the circulation, and the blood depOßita it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism. Seigel's Syrup correots the digestion, *nd ao ' stops the further formation and deposit of the poißon. It then removes from the system the poison already there. It iB not a oure-all. It does He wonderful work entirely by its mysterious aotion upon the digestive organs. But when we remember that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in these organs, we oan understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseases that appear to be so different in their nature. In other words rheumatism and neuralgia are but symptoms of indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsia. The Turkish Ambassador has protested against the performance in a Paris theatre of a tragedy in which Mahomet iB the prinoipal character. Relations between the Amnrican navy and tho British are pleasanter than would have been imagined from the desperate efforts of one party in tho States to set the two countries at variance. When Americana were in dire peril from the rising of negroes on the Island of Nevaßsa, a British gun-boat, the Forward, Lieut.-Commander Gray, steamed to the resouo and carried off the American survivors. And the other day when there was fierce fighting at Honolulu it was the American warship Adams that landed a squad of marines for the protection of British interests. British interests could not have been in better hands, for the American marines are a crook corps, as steady as a rook aud as brave as lions. This iB what ought to be. — United Service Gazette. Mr. H. O. Russell, the Government astronomer in Sydney, writes as follows in the Sydney Morning Herald : "It will be remembored that in tbe beginning of October last a plague of moths visited Sydney, and so completely ate up the bee food that at one bee farm 7001bs of honey had to be given to the bees to keep them alive. A similar account oomes from Port Stephens. One bee Icc-per there lost 200 hives from this cause At the cloae of the visitation there the sea washed up the dead mothß inohes deep on some parts of the beaoh. On October 6 a cloud of these moths settled on the Rebecca when off Green Cape. (Thoy quite darkened the atmosphere as they approached, and crowded in every nook and corner when they rested. Even the lamps were put out by the pests, and the sails were blackened by the multitudes that orawled over tbem. At Kiama, we are told, tbey were so numerous that school work was almost stopped by the time taken to remove the dead moths. If it bo remembered tbat at least 250 miles of our ooast was infested by these moths at the same time, some idea of tbe magnitude of the swarm may be obtained." A Home paper of November says a Bill ia about to be introduced into the Hungarian Diet granting almost complete exemption from taxation and import duties for a period of fifteen years to a large number of trades, including the metal, mining, and maohinery trades, and to manufacturers of gUss, textile fabrics, chemicals, augar, chocolate, carpets, leather, and all kinds of preserves and pickles. The administrators of the State railways have also agreed to consent to a considerable reduction in the railway rates on all tho abovementioned goods, and the materials ueed in their manufacture. The Bill haa been very warmly reoeived, and will almost certainly ba adopted by the Diet. In thia case, foreign manufacturers who trade in Hungary in any of the commodities above enumerated will have to do as was done in Russia, that is to say, establish factories of tbeir own, if they do not wish to lose the Hungarian market. Thu measure, it may be added, forms part of the great scheme on foot for assisting Hungary in its attempt to obtain complete industrial independence, of which the introduction of the zone system of railway rates, both for passengers and goods, may be said to hare been the active beginning.
