BETTER TO MAKE A FIGHT.

When the good knight, Don Quixote, hung by his wrist from the stable window, 'he imagined .that a tremendous abyss yawned beneath his feet. Presently the thong was cut, and1 the gallant adventurer fell four inches. Many others, before and since h's day, have liad^^ffifer fixperiSneesi.

' v"r May not this be true also in respect of that inevitable event, death? After much observation Pliny avowed his opinion that the moment of dissolution, was the mosb exquisite instant of l;f«. It oari at (least do no harm to uphold that theory, whether it be true or not. Nome of us will be in any greater hurry to leave the world on that account. Poor, and mean as our liveist may be in the opinion of certain biiious pessimists, the majority find life eminently worth living, and make a gallant fight for it accordingly. This was what a woman did, whose Ixrief account of her struggles I now submit to you. Audi am glad to say she came out of it a clear winner.

- Mrs Rose Lynch, who lives at No. 15, -^Morton Place, Carlton, Melbourne, is. ifoe picture of health to-day. She and ifoer husband formerly kept a dairy farm in Gippsland. In a letter addressed, ' on January llthi, 1904, to the proprietors of Mother Seigel's remedies, she said: "For a very long time my life was made very wretched by chronic indigestion*. My food seemed" to stick halfway down in a hard lump, causing great pain and distress in the chest. I could keep nothing in' my stomach, and suffered extremely from 'headaches, giddiness, and general debility. I tried many remedies, but none appeared to suit my case. As time went on and my sufferings increased I became low-spirited and despondent. I was them living in Gippsland, and about four years and sis months back, when vifedtjng my brother-;": in-law, at Yarragon, in turning over (the contents of a chest J came across a haflf-emptied bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup. "At first, on noticing the woi-d 'Syrup' on, th>a label, I thought it was a child's medicine, but, looking closer, I saw it was intended ;to cure indigestion. I had ilhe disease in a very acute form at the time, and so I thought I would try a dose of the Syrup. The effect was magical, for it gave me immediate relief. I contiued to take it, gaining in health, strength, and cheerfulness all the while, until the bottle was emptied. Then I obtained some more from the store. "My improvement was rapid, steady, and permanent. Very soon every symptom of indigestion left me, and my health was completely restored. Now I can eat well, sleep well,, and work 'well, and I never know what it is tto feel depressed or in low spirits, and aft this improvement is due entirely to Mother Seagal's Syrup. My own es-perj-'enee shows clearly-that your wonderful remedy will prove a blessing to all ■who suffer from indigestion." How I should enjoy standing beforo a great audience, and, with Mrs Lynch's letter as a text, preaching a lay sermon on the facts mentioned in it. But in the abscnoa of such a comment, I urge you to read and re-read the letter ; for -hero we have a typical inisitan.ee of what is happening to tQie people, and a proof of what can be done to save them. We see that a winnrng battle can be made for life and health in the face of doubt and discouragement, and after t3i3 failure of other treatment.

That the material advantages of the wonderful Wertheim Sewing Machines are being more extensively appreciated than ever before, which is evidenced by the fact that the Wanganui district is absorbing a larger number than ever, and the local agent, Mr. E. Poole, reports very gratifying business. A new shipment of ike latest types are now on view at the Depot, Victoria Avenue, next HorsLey's Wood Depot.
