HARD WORK AND EASY WORK.

There was a time very lately when Mr. Donato Arnoldi found it hard to keep up with his work. Not that there was more to be done thin usual, but he didn't feel like working at all. He was dull He had no edge. If he could have afforded he would have knocked off altogether. But there's where it is. Those of us who must work when we are sharp, must keep on working when we are dull. jS ecessity obliges. Expenses keep on, and so we must keep on. Dear, dear, what a thing it would be if we were always right up to the mark— eating, sleeping, and working with a relish. We might not have money to burn even then, but we should have some to save. Well let's hear Mr. Arnoldi. 'Ac Easter, 1893,' he says, 'I began to feel as if a cloud had come over me. I was weak, low, and tired. My tongue was thickly coated, and my mouth kept fi lliug with a thick, tough phlegm. I could eat fairly well, yet my food seemed to do me no good. After eating I had a feeling of heaviness at the chest and pain at the side ' I lost a deal of sleep, and night after night I lay broad awake ror hours. I kept up with my work, but I was so weak that 'l was scarcely fit for it. This state of things naturally worried me and I consulted a doctor. He gave me medicines that relieved me for a time, and then I went bad as ever. ' Seeing this I saw another doctor who said my stomach, and perhaps other organs, were in a very bad way. I took his medicines but they did not help me as I hoped they would. On the contrary I got worse and woise. ' At this time cold, clammy sweats began to break out all over me, and as I walked my footsteps were uncertain. Sometimes my legs gave way under me, as if they were too weak to bear the weight of my body. • Not to trouble you with details, it may be enough to say that I was in this miserable condition month after month. In fact I came to think I never should be any better. ' ' Then 1 bethought me of a medicine I had heard highly spoken of— Mother Seigel's Curative (Syrup. I said to my B elf, 1 will try it I am thankful I did. After taking oi.ly two bottles all the pain was gone, and shortly I was well and strong us ever. Since then 1 have had good health and worked without trouble. When I feel I need it, I take a dose of the Syrup, and it keeps me right. ' I am a surgical instrument maker, and think my illness was due to the quicksilver that I work amongst aoiing upon me when in a low state of health. At all events, I feel no ill effects now from the mercury I use in my business. (Signed) Donato Arnoldi, 3y, Spencer street, CJerkenweil, London, May Ist, 1894. No doubt leid, arsenic, mercury, and other poisons do often produce iuj ir.ous effects on those who habitually handle them • but the symptoms in Mr. Arnoldi' s case go to show that his ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia. This abominable disease generates plenty of pui^ons of ita* own. and has no need of hulp from outside death-dealer.s._ He warni t able to eit much, nor to digest what he did eat, and his nerves got weak and shaken because they were not fed. That accounts for his wakef ulness and for his uncertain footsteps. Take the a-hes out of your furnace, clear the draught, and light a fresh tire, and things are buzzing and humming directly. And that's what Moilur Seigel"s Syrup does for the human body when it sets the digestive system in proper operation. *%

A queen's counsel thus irreverently denned golf for the benefit of a judge who was hearing a case involving- the ptoying of the game : 'I believe my lord, that the game of golf is played in irregular fields or wa^te grounds with a small ball which the player tr.es to hit with a stieK. If he succeeds in hitting the ball he spends the rest of the day iv looking for it.' To the solemn-faced goiter this description ot the pastime must seem like trifling with a serious subject. Mr. P. Lu.vdon, Phoenix Chambers, Wanganui, is still busy putting people on the soil. He has also hotels in town and rouiitry For Side and To Lease Write to him.— „%
