How exceedingly obliging Eussia becomes at times. She Will, if the three Powers are willing, occupy Anatolia. That is all, and nothing j more. Anatolia happens to be only another name for Asia Minor, or at any rate the more western part of it. At present it is occupied by the Turks. The possession of this peninsula would give Russia the control of the Dardanelles, the entrance to the Black Sea, and would also give her a commanding position over the Sues Canal. For these and many other reasons it is not likely the Powers will be willing that Russia should occupy Anatolia. Mr Duane, of Auckland. Wk shall print the whole of Mr Jsaac Duane's letter, only regretting that it is not longer. He might have mentioned that June, the month in which he wrote, is the coldest month in the year in hi 9 country, and January the hottest. He might aWo have reminded us that New Zeaiand is almost as large as Great Britain, with a much more desirable climate. He might further have reminded us that it ia a wholesome place to live in, as it contains few physical sources of disease, and possesses no insect so noxious as the English wasp. Yet on reading bis letter we shall find that those attractive islands in the far Southern Sea are not free from an enemy we are called upon to fight here in England, as elsewhere throughout the world. " I have much pleasure in writing you," says Mr Duane, " as to me it is a privilege as well as a duty to describe an experience in which I am confident you will be interested. " Ever since I was a boy I have not only suffered from indigestion in its worst form, but I have been a martyr to it. Such success m life as I have achieved has been in the iace of the constant opposition set up by this miserable complaint. All its symptoms are familiar to me as the smoke of London is to a dweller in that rather grim old city. The bad taste in the month, the fitfnl appetite, the distress in the siomach after eating, thp pains in the chest and ' back, the dull headache, the sense of wearij ness and fatigue the depression of spirits, the want of ambition to take hold of any labour, the weakness resulting from lack of suffici>nt nourishment, &c. — all these were part and parcel of my life from ray youth t'> a time I am going to speak of in a ! moment. " I can only account for it by assuming that Imu t have inheritf d a tendency to this, disease. At all events it cast a gloom over my whole history up to the date of my rto-nt happy deliveranoe. The record o! the sleepless, wretched nights I passed would make almost a volume by itself. Times beyond counting I have arisen from my bed in the morning, glad the night was gone, and yet in no frame of mind to welcome the day. l o the chronic dyspeptic rest does not bring strength as it does to others. " You will hardly need to be told that I made every effort to obtain a cure. I tried rmdicine after medicine— now something I thought of myself and then something advertised in the newspapers. And as to doctors (against whom I desire to say not a word), I tried one after another, and faifhfully used the prescriptions they gave me ; but nothing more than temporary relief came of it. " About four years ago a friend spoke to me ot the great reputation of Mother Seigel's Syrup in onring all ailment? of the digestion, and urged me to make a trial of it. I might as well say frankly that I had little faith that it would do me any good ; but 1 was in a mood to try anything that offered the remotest chance of a cure. So I bought a bottle, and the very first doee made me feel better. This was so oheering and hopeful that I continued taking the Syrup, and to my surprise I grew better and better until I was cured. All the symptoms which made my life a burden for so many years are now gone, and I am a different man. If ever, from any cause, I have a temporary recurrence of indigestion, a few doses of Mother Seigel's ijyrup produces immtdiate relief, and leaves me in good health. You may have my full consent to publish this letter. lam wellknown in Auckland, and always glad to tell any one by word of mou'h what a won derful cure your remedy worked in my case. (Signed) Isaac Duane, coachbuilder, Karangahope Hoad, Auckland, New Zealand, June 25 h, 1895." Our home readers will perceive that not in England alone but in far distant g arters of the globe this celebrated medicine is known, and is successful where others do not avail. It is the most common place of truths that its praises a c sounded whereever civilisation extends, and almost in every written language the name of Mother Seigel's Syrup findß an acknowledged place. HISTORY REPEATED. { Three centuries have rolled by since Bacon said — " Coffee comforteth the brain and heart, also helpeth digestion !" Therefore drink Jubilee Coffee, the purest obtainable. A STEAM WHISTLE Need not run full blast all the ■ ime to let you know that it is heard, and it is not necessary tha' we should b" always advertising by noisy statements to buy 'Salßline," the great food preservative, for once tried always used, a3 it is the only reliable food preservative sold.
