AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM A VETERAN
If this is Jnbilee year it tends to make one look bark and think of the flight of time, and in this way I am reminded that I am one of the veterans in the sale of your valuable and successful medicine. Them " Being a stranger in a strange land, 1 do not wish the people to feel that I want to take the least advantage over them. I feel that I have a remedy that will care diseasi , and I bave so much confidence in it that I authorise my agencfl to refund the money if people should say that they have not benefitted by its use.' I felt at once that you would never say that unless the medicine had merit, and I applied for the agency, a step which I now look back upon with pride and satisfaction. Ever since that time I have found it by far the best remedy for Indigestion and Dyspepsia I have met with, and I have sold thousands of bottles. It has never failed in any case where there were any of the following symptoms: — Nervous or sick headache, sourness of the stomach, rising of the food after sating, a sense of fulness and heaviness, dizziness, bad breath, shme and mucus on the gums and teeth, constipation and yellowness of the eyes and skin, dull and sleepy sensations, ringing in tbe ears, heartburn, loss of appetite, and, in short, wherever there are signs that the system is clogged, and the blood is out of order. Upon repeated inquiries, covering a great variety of ailments, my customers have always answered, " I am better," or " I am perfectly well." What I have seldom or never seen before in the case of any medicine, is that people tell each otner of its virtues, and those who have been cured say to tbe suffering : " Go «nd get Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, it will make you well.'' Out of tbe hundreds of cures I will name one or two that happen to come into my mind. Two old gentlemen, whose names they would not like me to give you, had been martyrs to Indigestion and Dyspepsia for many years. They had tried all kinds of medicine without relief. One of them was so bad he could not bear a glass of ale. Both were advised to use the Syrup, and both recovered, and were as hale and hearty as men in the prime of life. A remarkable case is that of a house painter, named Jeffries, who lived in Penshurst, in Kent. His business obliged him to expose himself a great deal to wind and weather, and be was seized with rheumatism, and hia joints soon swelled up with dropsy, and were very stiff and painful. Nothing that the doctors could do seemed to reach the seat of the trouble. It so crippled him that he could do hardly any work, and for the whole of the winter of 1878 to '79, he had to give up and take to his bed. He had been afflicted in this sorry way for three years, and was getting worn out and discouraged. Besides, he had spent over £13 for what he called " doctor's stuff," without the least benefit. la the spring he heard of what Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup has done for others, and bought a2s 6d bottle of me. In a few days he sent me word he was much better — before he had finished the bottle. He then sent to me for a4s 6<i bottle, and as I was going that way I carried it down to him myself. On getting to bis house what was my astonishment and surprise to find him out in the garden weeding an onion bed. I could hardly believe mj own eyes, and said :—: — " You ought not to be out here, man, it may be the death of you after being laid up all the winter with rheumatism and dropsy." His ieply was : — ', There is no danger. The weather is fine, and Mother Seigel's Curative Syiup h, s done for me in a few days what the doctors could not do in three years. Ithiuk I shall get well now.' He kept on with the Syrup, and in three weeks he was at work again, and has had no return of the trouble for now nearly ten years. Any medicine that can do this should be known all over the world. Yours faithfully, (Signed) Rupkrt Ghaham, Of Gkaham <fc Son Holloway House, Sunbury, Middlesex, June 25th, 1887.

The late Earl of Fife was extremely fond of his glass after dinner . His weakness was known to the whole Court. One night, as her Majesty was rising from the table, he delayed her departure in hia high voice and with his Scotch accent, interjecing, " Yere Majesty will be pleased to hear that I have given up brandy and soda." " I am very glad to hear it, Lord Fife," replied the Queen, " anj I hope you will keep to it." "Yes, yere Majesty," replied Lord Fife, " I have changed to whisky and appollinans now." Visitors to the Paris Exhibition seem just now, says a home paper, intent on illustrating the euprrfluousness of the very appliances of civilisation which the World Show is designed to develop. Thus Herr Loewy, of the Vienna Extrablatt showed it was quite possible for an Austiian to see the Exhib.tion withou availing himself of railways if he only possessed a gig and knew how to diive it. Then a Russian Oossaek officer, Lieutenant Michel Ascef, wmc a step further and dispense! with the gis?. He rode on horsehack from Lubny to Paris. Now a party of a dozen English visitors have shown that the Paris hoteU are not indispensabe. They have taken with them a large tent, fitted with a portable stove and twelve hammocks, and they camp out at night on tbe no-man's-land beyond the fortifications.
