"HE WANTED TO SEE THE WHELLS GO ROUND."

There was once a bright baby boy who loved to examine the internal struoture of his uncle's watch m order, as he remarked, that he might " sco the wheels go round." Smart ond inquiring fellow ! Somo day he may make a watch tbat will keep better time than tboae which are made to sell and can with difficulty keep up with the days of the week, to say nothing of hours and minutes. But for a hundred persons who know how a watch is construofed bow many know what kind of " worko " are inside tbeir own bodies? Not one. Now tbe heart, is the human pendulum. Sometimes it beats too fa9t and sometimes too slow. What makes it act m that way ? Can you tell ? Probably not. When this irregularity frightens you, you see a " dootor." Why don't you study up the Bubject yourself ; and learn as much about it as any locomotive driver is bound to know about his engine ? Can't ? Yea you oan. Look here, for instance. A man writes thus •* " My heart would throb and beat aa if it might jump out of its place." The " wheels " were going muoh too rapidly within hia body. He was " gaining timo " at a fearful rate, and when that happenß a man nears bis death faster than it is pleasant to think of. What was wrong with the machinery ? Suppose we look into it and try to find out. He says that np to April, 1890, bo had always enjoyed good health. At tbat date ho had an attack of influenza, or the " grip." This left him m a weak condition, as it commonly does. One morning, m tho following July, he found a great patch of eruption, resembling riDgworm, covering his thighs, which gradually spread uatil it covered the abdomen and all the lower part of his body. Aftor Hub his appetite failed, and tbe natural and necessary act of eating caused bim great pain m the chest. He adds! " Tbe wind rolled around my chest and drove all the blood into my head." No doubt be describes the sensation correctly, but the fact probably was that there was too little blood m bis bead rather than too much, aud the wind had nothing to do with it; His system nas underfed through tho disease, and bis bodily machine was running tso faßt from very weakness, not from surplus power ; just as a sbip rolls and tumbles about on the sen from lack of ballast. " I would go into a great heat," he says, "and tbo pain and dizziness were so bad that I feared I should fall down m a fit. At one time my hands and feet were coldand clammy, and at other timeß they would burn as if Btang with nettles. For over three months I continued like tbis, getting weaker and weaker every day." Certainly, what else could be expected. " Feeling now very anxious," be proceeds to Eay," I saw a doctor who gave me medioineß and embrocations, but they were of no use, and I got worse. In August, 18S0, it was I read m the Freeman's Journal about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and thought it might possibly help me. I procured a bottle from the Medical Hall, Ballinamore, and to my surprise, after taking it I was much better. Further use of the Syrnp caused the eruption, or rash, to disappear, aad my food began to : relish. I could soon eat aoythiog. I was completely cured and was able to work : again. I thank God that Seigel's Syrup was • made known to me, and lam wishful to m- : form the publio of its excellence bo other ' poor sufferers may try it."

The ailment bo describos w*i3 indigestion and dyspepsia; which prodnced tbe palpitation of the heart by the pressure against it or the stomach ; the lulter being inflated with gas generated by the fermented food. The poison from the same source also entered tbo blood and threw tho brain and nervous systom into disorder, thus assisting tho general collapse. When Seigel'a Syrup had expelled the poison, and set the digestive machinery once more m motion, strength returned as ft matter of couree, and tho heart did its duty regularly and with itß natural power. Hod Mr O'Hara understood that all his various aahes and pain had one and the same origin he would have been loso disconcertod. The inferonce Beems to bo that thore is nothing like Mother Boigol's Hyrup lo make the human clock keep timo and to repair it when out of order.
