Judge Slowly.

It, is not always an easy matter to judge correctly of the quality of things. Less than one in a thousand of us is capable of accurately estima' ing the worth of a picture ; not more than one in a hundred the quality of a horse. In reneral. judgments rapidly made are of small value. " Did you ever notice." reoent'v inquired a vWtor to an Rnglish University town of hif» companion, aa thov sat. together a verandah. " that queer-looking old feU n w with the i<liot. ; c face, turned-up coat and boota seven sizes tio large, who nasses her« every morning at. eleven ? " "Many a time," renh>d •be o f her, " He in Professor of Comparative Orammar to the University of and npe*k« fifteen modern languages, to sav nothing of his masterv of O-reek. T atin and Hebrew.'" 'The incident will serve to "bow the fnt.ilitv of sunerficial judgment. Many Judgments which passed unchallenged are none the less dep'orahlv wrong, moreesnecially in matters which reqnire a practical test. Who can say rositively whether a certain medicine has the power tocure same particular malady or not without giving it a trial? When tbp -Mend of Mr Michael Fi'znatrick, of 66, Turtles street, W ■>olloomoo 1 00, Sydney, N S W., advised him to., take Mother Seigel's Curative for the cure f indigestion, be backed his advice with some excellent reasons—excellent because hi« Judgment of that remedy was based upon actual experiment of its ment. Says Mr Michael Fitzpatriok in a 'ette- written on th»2oth June, 1902: "For many years I suffered terribly from indigestion and biliousness, and snent pounds and pound* on doctors' medicines and so-called cures ; but without avail. Tn those days I had no appetite, and the little food I ate turned sour on mv stomach, causing severe attaoks of heartburn. T was also troubled -with pains in the chest, violent headaches, and habitual constipation. Tn fact, at one time or other 1 suffered from most of th» symptoms which characterise a sluggish and impaired digestion. My worst affliction, however, was a total inability to obtain sufficient sleep, f would go to bed fee'ing worn out and sleepy, but as soon as my head touched the pillow mv brain hecame unnaturally active, and I would think of every kind of subject, and roll and to c s about between the sheets, listening to the Fish Market Clock as it chimed hour a f ter hour, until all my nerves were in a quiver. Then I would rise a-»d walk the floor, backwards and forward o , the greater portion of the night. For many years I had been in this wretched state when one day a friend fortunately came to see me. I was trying the hot wate'- cure at the time, and was just in the act of drinking a cupfu' of steaming liquid, He asked me what T wts taking it for, 1 described mv troubles to him. and in reply t*i a further question informed him that T had not, so far, gained any relief from the hot water treatment. He advised me to abandon it. and try Mother Se'gel's Curative Syrup instead. He gave me such excellent reason* for doing so that I accepted hi* advice—advice which. I am thankful to say. has had 'he very bpst results. Af f er taking only one small bottle I felt very much better. As I continued to take the'tyrup, so did I continue to improve in health, and in less than two months my cure was accomplished That was three years ago, and 1 have remained in good health ever since, which proves conclusively that it is not mere passing relief that Mother Seiae''s Curative Syrup affords to sufferers from indigestion*, but permanent cure. Now I am careful never to be without a bottle of the Syrup on hand, as I take a dose occasionally to counteract the ill effects of mv sedentary occupation—for lam a bootmaker by trade—and for this purpose I find it acts like a charm."
