He Invested Only 7s 6d.

Thxbb is a man who has spent the past twenty-five years of his life in exploring for gold and other minerals in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and New Zealand. He has no doubt picked up some money, yet he says that the investment of 7/6 brought him in bigger returns than any other he ever made. Yet, hold on a minute. Don't let us jump to the conclusion that we can all get rich out of the proceeds of 7/6 till we hear furthfr from thie financier, He has a h«m<»o«i Wftgof pHUN, ■ icrious thing,

[ Some folk have no idea that sound senst and genuine fun are twin brothers, bul they are all the same. Our friends name is William BroomfiV.d Peek, and he lives at Russell, New Zealand, along Way off. He says it is a lovely coun tfy and intends to stay In it the balance oi his daysi As he landed m Australia, from England, in 1080, he has been there long enough to know what he is talking about, He advises persons of limited means who wotild like to, become small landholders to emigrate td &ew Zealand. Still, he reminds us that lit the enri we must pay for what we get. " The Calling of a prospector, for justance," said Mr Peck, "is full of hard work. S^dee, it entails rough living, such as salt junk, saddened damper, with tea In bucketfuls. One must have the digestive capacity of afl ostrich or an anftdonda to stand that diet for long. It must therefore be talien as proof of the good machinery inside of my system, when I mention that I actually stood it for nearly twenty-five years. "My punishment was delayed, you see, but it didn't fail. At last the climax came, and 1 was prostrated with agonising pain in the stomach and all the other symptoms Of a profound derangement of all the di* geetive organs, t had to knock of? work and cease all exertion. I was imbued with disgust with all things mundane. I believe that dyspepsia is responsible for a large portion qf the world's suicides !" Mr Pecks conjecture is exactly parallel with the fact as set forth in the official statistics of all civilised countries. No other disease so demoralises and depresses human nature 1 . It attacks the secret strongholds of the reason 1 and drives people 1 insane ; it stupifies the sensibilities ; it turns men and women into selfish, useless nuisances ; it impels them to commit crime. All this in addition to their own desolation and suffering. Yes, Mr Peck is quite right. But to get back to what he sftys about himself. 'At the advice of a friend — Mr W. Williams of this place — I began to take the far-famed Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. What result did it have ? I'll tell you : It has transformed me from rtjwwiflturelij old man into one quite regenerated. " I am a rapid eater and c n't break myself of the bad habit. Hence I make it a point to keep a bottle by me always and an occasional dose when necessary to set me right. " I can safely assert that the investment of 7/6 in Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup was the best I ever made in all my chequered career. You may depend that I prescribe this medicine to all and sundry people I come in contact with. Prior to using it I spent pounds at different limes, but only got partial relief. The Syrup seems to make etrnifiht for the seat of the trouble, I pen these few lines to show other sufferers the way out. There are any number of respectable persons here who can attest the truth of what I have written. —Respectfully (Signed) Wm. Buoomfield Pfxk, Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, July 2nd, 1802." We don't call for witnesses. Mr Peck's tale is frankness and truth itself. We hold out our hand in greeting across the sea. Dyspepsia is a living death, and Mother Seigel gives new life. Millions sing that chorus. But he had better eat slower. Write again and tell us you are doing so. Friend Peck.
