OUR REGARDS TO MR RUSSELL.

The writer of these lines hereby tonders to Mr W. Clark Ruaaell the assuraiico of his thanlta and appreciation, I have always loved sea stories, and thoso oi. Mr ltaell stand at the head of their olass. From " The wreck of the Grosvenor" to " List, Ye Landsmen I" I have read them all, Yet salt water, and the things thereon and therein, aro not the only things ho knows about;_ not by many degrees of latitude, In his last book he mafec3 a sailor talk thus:" I have suffered from the liver in my time, and know what it is to havo ftll mil I say I havo known moments when I could scarcely restrain from breaking windows, . kicking at the shins of all who approached me, knocking my head against the wall, yelling with the yell of one who drops in a lit; and all the while my brain was as liesltliy as the healthiest that ever filled a human skull, and nothing was wanted but a musketry of calomel pills to dislodge the fiend," &0., Ao,

So much for what Mr Russell's sailor (or Mr Russell himself, says; and there are plenty of people who can testify that thb is not a bit overdrawn. One fact in particular it helps us to realiso, namely, tliat the life of a sailor does not guarantee good health. Indigestion and dyspepsia—of which liver complaint is n sequence and a symptom-is as common among sailors as among landsmen. One of tho latter, however, may now tell of his experience. " All my life," he says, "I had suffered frem biliousness and sick headaches. I would have an attack about every three weeks At such times my appetite left mo, audi could neither cat nor driuk for days together. I suffered from drcadfulsickness and straining, and vomited a greenish-yellow fluid. My head felt as though it would burst. I had .1 bad tasto in the mouth, sallow skin, and tho whites of the eyes tarned yellow. I was recommended to adopt a vegetarian diet, and did so, but the attacks were just as frequent and violent. I consulted doctors and took ,their medicines, but was none the better for it. In this way I wont on year after year." Well, we shall agree that there could scarcely be a worso way to go on, and it all came about thus: The overworked stomach put more work ou the liver than tho latter could do. Indignant and disgusted at this the liver refused to do a s|rokc more than its proper share, Ilenco more bilo accumulated in the h'nod than the liver was ablo to remove. This surplus bile acts as a slow poison—and not so very slow either. Tho tongue is furred; the head aches "and feels dull and heavy; the eyes and skin are greenish-yellow; there is dizziness and nausea; cold hands and feet; spots before tho eyes, a pungent, biting fluid rises into the threat; constipation; high coloured kidney secretion; prostrated nerves; irritability ; loss 0! ambition; fears and forebodings, Ac,, 4c.

_ This is" biliousness" or "liver complaint' in its Eimplest form, When long unchecked it pioduccs irregular action of the heart, rheumatism, gout, and any, or all, of a dozen other organic disorders. There is no more certain or powerful impulse to siisbchuvionr; suicides and othor crimes often esulting, What to do? To get rid of tho poison by starting the skiu and bowels into energetic action; then to keep them going at a healthy and natural gait. How to do this ? Let our friend Mr F, Widger, •], Portland Square, Plymouth—whom we hare just quoted-speak on that point. fn his letter dated Hatch 3rd 1893 lie adds:

"Two years ago, after all medicines had failed to help me, I first heard ot Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I procured it from Mr It, S. Lake, Chemist, Taviitoek lioad, and hegan to use it and nothing else. After having consumed one hotlle I found myself vastly better, and by continuing with it I got rid of my old trouble altogetner." We should mention that Mr Wi'iger is a tailor and outfitter at Plymouth, and well known and respited in that c ■mmunity. lie permits us to use his name out of gratitude for his recovery. The potency of Mother Seigcls Curative Syrup over liver disease is due to its ability to indigestion and dyspepsia, which is (as we have said) the came of liver disease. Every house on the land, and every ship on the sea, should have thii remedy as a necessary part if their stock and stores. Perhaps Mr Busseil may recommend it in his next book. But no musketry of calomel pills." Oli, no.
