THE MARSHAL'S THINKING.

1 1 thought, Site, 1 said one of Napoleon'a Matobals to him during a private interview at which the Emperor was giving the military man certain impor* tant instructions, ' I thought, Sire — .' Quick aa a wink the small Corßioan went into one of hia fits of cold rage and flew at the Marshall like a jangle tiger at an elephant. • rbtt^tHooght ! You! You!* he shrieked in a voice raucous aa the cry of a peacock «nd full of malignant devilry. * WhatrhaTe You to do with thinking ? Obey^your orders, Sir, and leave the thinking to me. Go, now, before I strike you with my riding-whip j go, go V Yet in the Tenth Hussars there was a better thinker than Napolen, for on the latterVre.turn from Elba the Hussar (once a Parisian cobbler) predicted Waterloo. Shoemakers and tailors are commonly intellectual men, and moat of them dvs peptics. Too much cogitation and too little exercise does It. E. P. Le Breton, of 128, King Street, Sydenham, Christohurch. New Zealand, is a tailor, and, judging from a clear-headed letter of his, dated December4stb, 1899, he is a good deal of a thinker. Away back in his younger days ' he lived at Seafield, Ashburton, where his father had a large farm and employed a number of men. When any of these men became ill, as often happened, Le Breton's 1 mother and be ÜBed to cure them with Mother" Seigel'a Syrup. They had Hewd or it through & pamphlet teosived from LondoD. I When I was a mere youth,' says Mr Le Breton, c I underwent great pain and anxiety from kidney trouble. No treatment mitigated it, and I .Buffered thus until I reached my young manhood. It was then we read of Mother Seigel'B Syrup, and T first used it. ' The effect of the medicine surprised us all. Within three months I was quite well, my kidneyß acting perfectly and the pain completely gone. * It will show how deep the cure went down, and bow real and genuine it was, when I mention that I felt not even a sospioiun of my formar complaint for eleven years. 'We then removed here to Ohristohurob, where I began business as a tailor and cutter. After a time I had a Blight renewal of tie kidney disorder, caused no doubt, by my sedentary mode of life. It troubled me but little, yet why should I endure it at all when the remedy which delivered me once before was within easy reach ? ' I found immediately that its natural efficacy had not departed from Mother Seigel's Syrup. A few small doses— only ten drops each — went straight to the . affected parts, and made them sound and whole once more. - -' My mother is 82 years old, enjoys excellent health, and has the skin and complexion of a young woman. This she attributes to her tmring; used Mother Seigel'a Syrup off and on for many years. I 1 have lived in this locality for eleven years, and most of the people here can vouch for the truth of what I tell you.' We all do some trifle of thinking for ourselves ; and among the things we agree upon — as proved by abundant evidence— ib ' this :— That if there is a remedy which, above all others, can b 9 trusted to cure most of our complaints, the name of it is Mother S-igel'a Syrup.
