NOW UP AND NOW DOWN.

Notice the slender column of mercury in j your thermometer. To-day it is longer than it was yesterday ; te morrow it may be longer still, or much shorter; you can't tell in advance. So it varies with the amount of heat in the atmosphere. Very good ; but we all knew that beforo, you say. Take note of another measuring instrument, then ; one tbat yd'u can carry about whithersoever you go. We often hear ono person say of another. " His spirits are very mercurial," meaning that they rise or fail under slight influences. Rut others havo prottacted periods of depression 'of spirits, sometimes threatening permanent melancholia. In fact, instances of this kind are getting Jo be alarmingly common, and any suggestions as to the cause aud the remedy must bo welcome to society at large. Speaking of a recent illness of her own, Mrs Hagar Pereival says the doctor pronounced her aiment to bo "nervous debility." lhe phrase is familiar and expressive, and tho doctor used it in the ordinarily accepted eenso. After all we seem to need moro light. Perhaps _we sball get it by turning a leaf backward and finding out how tha trouble began. "In July, 1885," says the lady, "I felt strangely weak and out of spiiits. I could scarcely persuade myself ta tat anything, and when I did the food caused me much distrcEß in the stomach and pain in the chest. Neither did I get any strength rroin it, but grew more weak ond nervous. Later on I had frequent attacks nf dizzines3 and fainting fits, wbich would come npon me in the street, so that I often came near falling to the ground. Sometimes I had two or three such attacks in a single day. ahe doctor said I had nervous debility, but the medicine ho gave me did no good. " Better and worse in this manner 1 suffered for about three years, no treatment availing to relieve me. Afc Easter of 1892 my mother brought me a bottle of medicine of tho came kind that had cored ber of liver complaint... I b-gan using it, and in a short timo I could eat bettor, and my food digested without giving me any trouble or discomfort. I grew stronger, the fainting fits gradually ceased, and I regained my strength. (SigDed) Hagar Pereival, 25, Lind S'reet, Country Road, Walton, Liverpool, July lflih, 189.."" In a letter dated November 80th, 1892, and written at his home, 142, Shepherd's Bubh 1«.0ad,. London, W. a correspondent c| a tes that in tho yaar 1883 he fell into a condition of nervous debility. He look medicirej in plenty, but grow worse and worse notwithstanding. The early peculiarities of hia case were exactly tho same as in the case of Mrs Pereival, above named. «t"£ ne , day '" ile dee l"rcs, "a friend of mine, ftlr Charles swan, oi King's Street, told me ot a medicine from tbe uso of which his sister had derived great benefit under like circumstances. lat once began taking it, and before I had finished ono bottle tho pain and distress left me, my nerves wero steady, and I gained strength. A«er I had used three bottles I was in as good health as I was before the attack the previous spring. Appreciating the value of a remedy which proved able to do what no other could accomplish, I am oerfectly willing fco have the fact made pufilic. (Signed) Frank William Deacon." The nervous depression iv both these cases as in most others, was the direct consrqupneo of the circulation of impurities in tho blood Tbe extreme melancholy and distortion of judgment witnessed in hypochondriacs ari=os from the same cause ; p.nd (tbis point io for jour memory) the cause underlying all is indigestion and dyspepsia, which "creates tho'e impurities! in the stomach and scatters them through the system. To have strong nerves we must havo pure blood ; to havo pu: c blood we must have perfect digestion, and to have , tha.t we must do what these two people did I use Mother Seigel's Curative .Syrup. They used it as soon as they heard of it. Warned by their needless suffering ijo is will use it tho j moment you feel the first symptoms of the ? cora'nf! evil.
