THE ENGINES OF SHIPS AND OF MEN.

In the mouth of March, the cro.it ami 'viau'tiful steamship •' C'ty of Paris, " while on her voyage from Now York lo iJiverpoo', met •.villi;an accident 'by'which Iter engine's were

completely disabled, leaving her helpless on the sea. She carried a large number of pas--cngers. and gicat anxiety was fr.lt concerning her in Europe mid America. ITow she was dually towed into Queenslovrn Harbour will be remembered by the public. " Well, wluifc of it ?" you say. " They afterwards found out how it. happmed, and repaired the engines, and no lives were lost." Very true, but wait a moment. Because \ou never go to ssa, do you think the sudden destruction of a ship's engine has no lesson for you ? How shortsighted men are! Did you ever lie on your bed at borne, or on a cot in a hospital, helpless as a log? What, ailed you ? ! Some disease. "What is disease ? It is an accident to your vitul machinery. What' do the doctors try (o do for you ? To " cum' you. '-Yes, of course. Suppose wo say " repair "'you ; it comes to the same thing, for wo are kept alive ami going by certain organs or engines inside the body. ' When they are out of order an 1 work badly, weave ill; when they stop, we die. Do you ten iho force of (.he illustration ?

Sometimes a man's machinery is neve right from the hour of his birth. Here is a sli. .b s.ory one mm tells about, himself which will miow what «c mean. He says : "One ship b r.cvcT weak betwiFe another is, but'a baby may bo weak because its parents were, or • omo of its aiicc.-tors. It. is spoken of in the family (hit when I was an infant, I did nothing but sleep. Now, a healthy infant ought Io sleep most of the time, but not all the lime. He shou'd laugh, play, cry, kick, and i ate notice of thing . My mother was bothered about it, and saw the doctor, who -.(aid it «es owing to the s!uggi>h >'a'e <i ir.y !irer. NevcifchcTess, I lived and givw up n« millions of children do. But inhoribe-j disease makes its mark sooner or later, according to ciiConstances.

" About five years ago I began to feel bad. I didn't know what was the matter with mc. I bad bad taste in my mouth, a slimy tongue and felt languid ami tired, and had no ain-liili-.'i) for work. My appetite fnihd, arid when 1 di.l eat, under a sort of compulsion I had great pain after it. I went on in this w-iy until the spring of 18SS, when ' had a very severe attack, urd was treared in Bartholomew's Hospital for some rime. ! ut. I cane out still weak, and a Kith) later on t was ■io bad I broke down complc'el y, and took lo my bed. Matters now looked tery sc. ions for mo.

" The first doctor who came to sec mo was not able to give any ri-ltcf, im) my people titched a'tot'ier, as my cotnliliuii had become alarming. I got worse, aid was in great agony. 1 had pains all over me, but more particularly in the bowels, where flic pain vas intense. The bowels were stopped, or constipated, and the doctor seemed puzz'ed. Ono il:iy lis said, ' 1 cannot account for //</«/■ ■oiiffitioii.' I now organ .o think wh (■ was i>cst to be done. Yet what could I do ? " 1 had heard of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup which was said to be j a most remarkable cure for deep-seated an 1 | chronic complaints where all other remedies were in availing, but. I had never tried it, and ! wh» flu.uid 1 believe in it? Ye) how j strangely we are sometimes led into j a'hs we j have never travelled before ! i "Jn niv excitement and satisfaction I doi biro I Thin is the nyhl thinj \ " Af er: taking sis bottles I fornd myself in perfect health iam a new man. 1 never was iu better lie.llli in my life, and ail the members of my family think of my euro as all j the more wonderful owin<; to my having suffered with liver complaint from mj i:.hiiioj. I will gladly answer any impiine? i bout Mother b'eigel's s?yrup, and what it did 'or mo." (Signed) W Goldspink, \l'*, Acio j Lnue, Jjriston, and Jt>, l»e!ibrook Strict, I I'iiulioo.
