The Marshal's Thin king.

•'I thought, Sire," said one of Napoleon's Marshals to him during a private interview at which the Emperor was giving the military man certain important instructions, " I thought, Sire—." Quick as a wink the small Corsican went into one of his fits of cold rage and flew at the Marshal like a jungle tiger at an elephant. " You thought! you I you! " he shrieked in a voice raucous as the cry of a peacock and full of malignant deyilry. " What have, you to do with thinking ? Obey your orders, Sir, and leave the thinking to me. Go, now, before I strike you with my riding-whip; go, go!" Yet in the Tenth Hussars there was a belter thinker than Napoleon, for on the latter's return from Elba the Hussar (once a Parisian cobbler) predicted Waterloo. Shoemakers and tailors are commonly j intellectual men, and most of them dyspeptics. Too much cogitation ana too little exereise does it. MrF.P. Le Breton, of 128, King Street, Sydenham, Christehurch, New Zealand, is a tailor, and, judging from a clear-headed letter of his, dated December 15th, 1899, he is a good deal of a thinker. Away back in his younger days he lived at Seafield, Ashburton, where his father had a large farm and employed a number of men. When any of these men became ill, as often happened, Le Breton's mother and he used to cure them with Mother Seigel's Syrup. They had heard of it through a pamphlet received from London. " When I was a mere youth," says Mr Le Breton, " I underwent great pain and anxiety from kidney trouble. No treatment mitigated it, and I suffered thus until I reached my young manhood. It was then we read of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I first used it. "It will show how deep the cure went down, and how real and genuine it was, when I mention that I felt not even a suspicion of my former complaint for eleven years. " We then remoyed here to Christchurch, where I began business as a tailor and cutter. After a time I had a slight renewal of the kidney disorder, caused, no doubt, by my sedentary mode of life. It troubled me but little, yet why should I endure it at all when the remedy which delivered me once before was within easy reach ? " I found immediately that its natural efficacy had not departed from Mother Seigel's Syrup. A few Bmall doses—only ten drops each—went straight to the affected parts and made them sound and whole once more. "My mother is 82 years old, enjoys excellent health, and has the skin and complexion of a young woman. This she attributes to her having used Mother Seigel's Syrup off and on for many years. "I have lived in this locality for eleven years, and most of the people here can youch for the truth of what I tell you." We all do some trifle of thinking for ourselves; and among the things we agree upon—as proved by abundant eyidence—is this: —That if there is a remedy which, above all others, caD be trusted to cure most of our complaints, the name of it is Mother Seigel's Syrup. _______ 783a30 A Cure For Summer ComplaintSummer complaint is unusually prevalent among children this season. A well developed case in the writer's family was cured last week by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera Jand Diarrhoea Remedy—one of the best patent medicines manufactured and which is always kept on hand at the home of ye scribe. This is not intended as a free puff for the company, who do not advertise with us, but to benefit little sufferers who may not be within easy access of a physician. No family should be without a bottle of this medicine in the house, especially in sum. .er-time. Lansing, lowa, U. S. A., Journal. For Bale by D. B.
