THE ENGINES OF SHIPS AND OF MEN.

In Uio month of March, the groat, mid bountiful steamship •* C'ty of Paris, ” while on her voyage from New York to Liverpoo’, mol with an accident by which her engines were completely disabled, leaving her helpless cn the sea. Site carried a large number of passengers. and gient anxiety was felt concerning her in Europe and America., How she was finally lowed into Queenstown Harbour will be remembered by the public. Very true, but wait a moment Because you never go to sea, do you think the sudden destruction of a ship’s engine has no lesson for you ? How shortsighted men are ! Hid you ever lie on your bed at home, or on a cot m a hospital, helpless as a log ? What, ailed you ? Some disease. What is disease ? It i« an accident to your vital machinery. Wha.* do the doctors try to do for you P To “ cure' you. Yes, of course. Suppose we say “ repair ” you ; it conics to the same thing, for vyo are kept alive and going by certain organ's or engines inside the body. When they are out of order an i work badly, we aie ill ; when bey stop, we die. Ho you eco the force of the illustrat'd! P

Sometimes a man’s machinery is neve' - right from the hour of his birth. Here is a short story one man fells about himself which will show what we mean, lie says: “ Ono ship is never went because another is, but. a baby may be weak because ils parents were, or some of ils ancestors. It is spoken of in the family that when I was an infant, I did nothing but sleep. Now, a healthy infant ought to sleep most of the lime, but not all the time. Ho should laugh, play, cry, kick, and take notice of thing . My mother was bothered about it, aud saw the doctor, who said it was owing to the sluggish s'a'o of my liver. Nevertheless, I lived and grew up as millions of children do. Bat iuherito-i disease makes its mirk sooner or later, according to circumstances. “About live years ago I began lo feci bad. I didn’t know what, was the matter with me. I had bad taste in my mouth, a slimy tongue and felt languid ami t rod, and had no ambition for work. My appetite failed, and when I did eat, under a sort of compulsion I had great pain after it. I went on in this way until the spring of 1888, when 1 had a very severs a f lack, and was treated in Bartholomew’s Hospital for some time. >ut 1 came out still weak, and a little later on 1 was so bad I broke down completely, and took to my bed. Matters now looked very scions for mo. “ The first doctor who came to see mo was not able to give any relief, an I my people etched another, as my condition had become alarming. I got worse, and was in great agony. I bad poiiis all over me, but more particularly in the bowels, where ibo pain was intense. The bowels were stopped, or constipated, and the doctor scrim d puzzled. One day he said, 1 1 cannot account for your condition.' 1 now began ,o think wh t was best to be done. Yet what could Ido ? “ I bad heard of a medicine called Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup which was said to bo a most remarkable cure for deep-sealed an I I chronic complaints where all other remedies j were unavailing, but I had never tried ii, and i wily should I believe in it? Ye| bow j strangely weave sometimes led into ja'bs wc j have never travelled before ! ! “ About this time 1 picked up a newspaper j and read of a ease similar to my own Unit had | been cured —so the writer said—by Mote.cr Seigel’s Syrup. I decided to risk it, and sent over to Mr l.ycr, the chemist, in Acre Lane, VYest Brixton, and got a bottle, and in ten minutes after taking the first dose I fell reHof. “After taking six bottles I found myself m perfect health lam a new mull. I never was la better health in my life, and all the members of my family think of my euro as oil l.be more wonderful owing to my having suffered with liver complaint from my inlancy. I will gladly answer any inquiries about Mother Weigel’s Syrup, and what it did for me.” (Signed) VV Goldspink, 1 —Acre. Lane, Brixton, and Iff, laclibrook Street, Pimlico. Mr Goldspink is a poik butcher, and is w ill known and highly respected. In addition to bis inherited weakness of the liver ke suffered from deep-seated indigestion anti dyspepsia, with an acute attack of constipation, a dangerous and often fatal <vmpl cation. For this almost universal m.-.b. a —oll.cn mistaken for other diseases —Seiucl’s 8y run is the only remedy to be relied upon.
