OVER THE SUNSHINE OF EXISTENCE HANGS A BLACK CLOUD.

With the uncertainty of life is mingled the dork mystciy of death ! While, on the one h?.nd, we catch tho welcome sound of a now breath of life that tells o? an addition to our species, on tho othor we shudder as we hear tho rushing wings of tbe lJsetroying Angel I The mighty voice of the Q-reafc Influence which )ulo3"t li e T Tniv'i'ivity has pro nounced our fate ; tho d -cud fiat has gone forth, and every mortal pian is doomed to die! But though we cannot; prevent, can we postpone death ? The question is momentous, cv? \ if it concern the prolongation of life but b? t\ single hou", inasmuch as every iriftinot prompts us tfight the boldest battle wo can for tho glorious boon of existence Tho prompfce iDgs of instinct ure but the spontaneous voice* of nature, and it is our duty to obey. But there still remains the question can death be postporedby a single hour ? Yea ; ijOr the world works in obedience to certain laws j and a study of these proves that those who have the judgment and the will feo buckle on the shield, which nature places ready to their grasp, nm ward off the in« Bidious attacks of the implacable enemy of life, until, in a ripe old age, the vital faculties gradually decay, and the Angel of Peace glides aoltly ioto our presence, leading us as it were,* in a gentle slumber to the legions beyond the shadow of the fcouib. The Fell Destroyer makes hia fir&fc approaches in many forms, but none ara more favoured by him than that of a deadl foe now preying upon the vory vitala of Modern Society. What is this foe ? There are few among us who have not been, or are now to to some extent its victims. Would the reader Know if he, too> is under the barm of thisfrightfr^courge ? Let him ask himself whether hJexperiences any of the following symptoms : — There are pains about the chest, and sometimes in the back. The mouth has a ad laste, especially ia the morning j and U^ve are feelings of dulness and drov/sinejs. Ih-i appetite is poor, a eort of sticky slime colleetsout the teeth, there ia rf feeling as of a heavy load on the stomach, and BOiaetiraes a faint, all-gone gensa.ion at pit of the stomach which food uoes not satisfy, llie eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, nofc attended in the course of a few months with expfctora 'on of a greenish colour; The sufferer feels constantly tired, and Bleep seems to afford him no rest, Ner* vousness, iritabiHty, and evil forebodings follow. When rising ; iv 1 enly, there is a giddiness, a sort of w. \ ' ->• sensation in the head. -I ho bow«M '• onie (.ostive : the skin is dry and hot „b Hea ; the blood bacomes thicls and stagnant ; the whrtes of tho eyca are tinged with yellow ; the urine is scanty and high coloured, depositing a sedj(ment af:er Branding. There is frequently a spitting np of the food — at times with a sour taste and cat others with a sweetish taste. This is often attended "*«,viih ivtlpitaiion of the heart or impaired vision, with. syot3 before the eyes, accompanied by great prostration and weakness AH of these sj inptoms are in turn pveseut Ifciaihoughv, that nearly one-third of our population has tbis d;sess r > in some of its, varied forms. Medic <l men have mistaken the nature of the malady. Tls true name is Dyspepsia or _lQdic;Cfition ; for which a certain remedy is to bo found in "Mother Sei&el's Ourativo Syrup -amedicino v<hich has won in both hcmisphe.cv a con&tleuee founded only ou its gicufc vivtues.
