ORDERS AND ARROWS.

! Whb.i thocaptain of.a ship orderß som*; hands aloft t.o furl -the main royal the mon jump to obey, as a ma'tar of courseA fa lor can climb np on a yard without ! ' havirig a shilling aaboro or a penny in hißpockit. In faot, Jwr-k seldom sigoß articles until he has used up both cash and credit. But when a doctor— who is a sort of captain when ono ia laid up in the dry ' dock of illnefS— ord»r« a patient togo ' aboard for the benefit of hiß health, it is ' quita another thing. A trip and sojourn i away from borne is an expenaive prescription, and most of us can't sff-rd it. If he doctor 6ays it ia a ohoice between that and the graveyard we shall have ' to settle on the graveyard; it i8 ha,ndy 1 by, and easy to geFto. But are tie wally 1 so bard pushed ? Tbat is, aa olten rs the doctors 6ay we are ? Let's turn the matter over in our minds for a minute. Here is a cbbo that is pat to the purpose. Uconcerns Mr Arthur Whiddon Mfclbnieh, cf 3, Begi-nt's T'eitßc, Polsloe Road, Exeter .* and for tbe details we are indebted •to a letter written by bim, dated Maroh 7th, 1893. He mentions tbat, in obedience to the orders of his doctors, he went to Csnoep, in the South of France, in November, 1800, and spent the winter there. He also spent the following winter at the same placo. He felt the better for the change; wo will tell you why presently. Bbt beobtnioed no radical .benefit, which il?o we will explain latsr.on t ' * It, appears thatthis .gentleman had been weak aud ailing nearly all his life; not exaotly ill, not wholly well— a condition that calls for constant caution. Iu March, 1890, he had a severe attack of inflimmution of the lungs Now I want the reader to honour mo with his best attention, ao I must eay in a few worda what ought propirly lo take many. Bfco-tan arrow into the air- »b BtiaigLt up aR you ran. You can't tell where it will fill. It tuny fa-100 a neighlioui'b head, on jourown.orbn a cbild'6 orm the pavement. Everybody^ blood contains mc-rj or lo3s poisonous (.•lnnent*.. Theße sr9 arrows; but unlike your wooden arrow they always strike on. thejveakest spot, or epotß, in the lodv. If they hit the muscles and joint* -ye call it iheumatiem and gout ; 'if -'-they hit the liver we call it liver complaint or biliousness s if they hii th. kidneys we call it Bright'.* disease; if they hitthe nerves or any of fifty o-her nainee; if they' ht the bronchial tqbes we call it bronobitia ko.; if they hit the air cells we call it inflammation of the lungs, or by-and by, consumption, And inasmuch ns these poiFonod arrows piss through the delicate meBDOP of tbe lungs a thousand times every day it would be odd if they didn't hit them— wouldn't it ? Now, wait a bit; It follows that all the various so called difeases above named are not disease at all in and of themselves, but merely symptoms of one only dn-eaEo —namely, that disease which produces the poUon ! Good. Wo will get ou to tho end tf tbo 6tory. After the al tick of Jung ir.fl tmmation Mr Melluiah suffered fromloßS of appetite, pain in the cheat, sides and stomach, and dangeroun ronstip ition. He could on. only liquid food and bad to take to his berl. For weohß be was so feeble that he could not iib9 in bed. He consulted one physioian after another, obtaining no more than temporary relief from medicine Then he waa ordered abroad as we hays related. His letter concludes in these words "Wbiht at Cannes I consulted o doctor, who said my ailment was weak digestion, nnd that I need not trou&le about my lungs. But I ntver gained any real ground until November, 1891, when I be^au lo take Mother Seigiil'e Curative Syrup This helped mo iu one week, and by continuing with ifc Igotstrongor nnd stronger, ond now in fair good health. Thiß, after my relativoH thought I should nev6r recover. (Mgned) Arthur Widdon Melluieh " To sum np: Thiß gentlemßn's real ailment wbb indigestion and d)spepsia, from which the Hood jioison comes that causes nearly all disorders andjiains. Tho air of Southern France hold him temporarily, becauso it is milder tnan ouru ; it did not remove the poison, By eire and the use on Mother Sotgei's Curative Syrup he would bave donebtttar at home, aa the reoult ehows. So we see tbat it isn't the climate that kills or Eaves; it is the condition of the digestion. If therefore your doctor orders you abrcai for your health, tell him you will first try Mother Seigol'a Curative Syrup.
