Wrocked on the Godwins.

Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of the famous Charles Darwin, tho naturalist, inscribed on his seal the significant words," Omnia a concilia"— all things ariso from oysters, But from what do oyators arise? What is the origin of matter? Ah I nobody knows. Yet one thing is getting plainor overy day. Let the man's stoiy show. He goes on to say: On the 17th of December, 1872, whilst acting iu ship's carpenter on board tho steamship Sorrento, I was wrecked on tho Goodwin Sands. The flliock tu my system was so great as to produce an effect I never felt before. 1 fell into a low, weak stato, and was seized with giddiness and a sinking, fainting feeling, I had a bad taste in the mouth, weight at the chest, and great pain after eating, and my face would burn like fire. I bad difficulty in breathing and palpitation, and often a pain used to run from the heart through to my shoulder, I had a kind of rumbling all over me, and a choking sensation at tho throat, with a rush of blood to the head, " 1 slept very badly, and after a time I got so nervous and weak that I was afraid to go about and would sit in a chair quite powerless, I Baw a dootor who treated me for a time, and thon sent me to a hospital in Rattlobono place, London, whore I was under treetrnent for three months, but got no better. 1 then put mysolf under a local doctor, who said 1 was suffering from nervous debility. He patched me up for a little while, but said to my wifo, " Your husband is in a critical condition, and may die at any time." " However, I got to work for a short tune, and then was as bad as ever. I lingered on in this way for years—now a little better, now worse, but never well, "About 1880, whilst working at Messrs Westwood and Bailey's, Mijfwalj, a mate who saw my sud'erings tojd me of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and he brought me a bottle, After taking thofirst bottle I found my food agreed with me, and I began to im< prove. All nervous feeling gradually left rue, and by persevering with the medicine I was soon cured, From that time to this I have been a strong man, and done harder work than ever in my life beforo. I have since kopt Mother Seigel's Syrup in the bouse, and my wife, who was a great sufferer from rheumatism and dropsy, has found moro nlief from it than anything elao, If any of my family ever ail anything, a fpij dose? spin sets them'right. 1 ' The 'statoment from which the foregoing is an extract was made by Mr William Hill, ship's carpenter, 108, St. Annie's Road, London, E, ■ ' * Now, what is the thing that we said is getting plainer every day 1 Why this: that almost an infinite number of different results arise jrorn a sjngle Like thVmajority of people pi all raiilfs of life, Mr' Hill had' in his digestive organs tho seeds—or what women, whon they buy dress goods, call' the makings 1 ofdispepsia, Up to the winter of 1882 it may not have troubled him much, but the excitement and exposure of tho shipwreck was more than the system could bear. We must remember,, too, that all shocks to the mind or body, 'of jq'bpthafij (jirectty on" the stomajjh! Whp can eattyhenimdor the influence of fi great worry or a great sorrow ? And if this worry or sorrow coninues long, it upsets tho digestion, permanently impairs or destroys'the appetite, and thus brings on an apparently incurable dyspepsia and nervous debility.
