Our Regards to Mr RusselL * . The writer of these lines hereby tenders to Mr W. Clark Bussell the assurance of his thanks and appreciation. I have always loved sea stories, and those of Mr Russell stand at the head of their class. Prom " The Wreck of tho GrbsVenor " to " Li3t, Ye Landsmen !" I have read them all. Yet salt water, and the things thereand therein, are not the only things he knows about ; not by many degrees of atitude. In his last book he makes a sailor talk thus : " I have suffered from the liver in my time, and know what it is to have felt mad. I say I have known moments when I oould scarce restrain myself from breaklag windows, kicking at tho shins of all who approached me, knocking ray head against the wall, yelling with a yell of ona who drops in a fit ; and all the while my brain was as healthy as the healthiest that ever filled a human skull, and nothing was wanted but a musketry of calomel pills to dislodge the fiend," &C, &G. So much for what Mr Russell's sailor I'or Mr Bussell himself, says ; and there are plenty of people who can testify that (his is not a bit overdrawn. One fact in particular it helps us to realise namely, that the life of a sailor does not guarantee good health. Indigestion and dyspepsia— of which liver complaint is a sequence and a symptom — is as common among sailors as among landsmen. One of the latter, however, may now tell of his experience. " All my life." he , B&p, " I h&d suffered from biliousness and siok headaches, I wolild have ah attack about every three weeks. At such times my appetite left me, and 1 could neither, eat nor drink for days together. I suffered from dreadful sickness and Strainiug, . and vomited a greenish yellow fluid. My hoad felt as though it would burst. I had a bad taste in the mouth, sallow skin, and the whites of the eyes turned yellow. I was recommended to adopt a vegetari&h diet; and did so, but the attacks Were just _b frequent and violent* I consulted dootors and took their medicines, but was none the better for it. In this way 1 went on year after year. ' Well, we shall agree that there could scarcely be a worse way to go on, and it all came about thus : The overworked stomach put more work on the liver than the latter | could do. Indignant and disgusted at this the liver refused to do a stroke more than its proper share, HenCe more bile accumulated in tho blood than the liver was able to remove. This surplus bile acts as a slow poison— and not So very -.low either. The tongue is furred ; the head aches and feels dull and heavy ; the eyes and skin are greenish yellow ; there is dizziness and nausea ; cold hands and feet ; spots before the eyes ; a pungent, biting fluid rises into the throat; constipation; high coloured kidney secretion ; prostrated nerves ; irritability ; loss of ambition ; fears and forebodings, dso., Ac. This is " biliousness " or " liver oomplaint "in its simplest form. When long unchecked it produces irregular action of the heart, rheumatism, gout, and any, or all, of a dozen other erganic disorders. There is no more certain or powerful impulse to misbehaviour; suicide and other crimes often resulting. What to do ? To get rid of the poison by starting the skin and bowels into energetic action ; then to keep them going at a healthy and natural gait. How to do this ? Let onr friend Mr F. Widger, 4, Portland Square, Plymouth— whom we have just quoted— speak on that pom*. In his letter, dated March 3rd, 1893, he adds : " Two yeara ago, after all medicines had failed to help me, I first heard of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I procured it from Mr B. S. Luke, Chemist, Tavistock Boad, ond began to use it, and nothing 1 else. After having consumed one bottle I found myself vastly batter, and by continuing with it I got rid of my old trouble altogether." We should mention that Mr Widger is a tailor and outfitter at Plymouth, and well known and respected in that community. He permits us to use his name out of gratitude for his recovery. The potenoy of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup over liver disease i 3 due to its ability, to cure indigestion and dyspepsia, which is (as we have said) the came of liver disease. Every house on the land, and evory ship on the sea, should have this remedy as a necessary part of their stock and stores. Perhaps Mr Bussell may recommend it in his next book. But no " musketry of calomel pills. ' Oh.no.

RHEUMATISM-A legacy ■♦ Of a oold in the bones or muscles is sub - jeci to cure if means are taken at the outset. Wolfe's Schnappß is reoommended. HISTOBY BEPEATED. Three oenturies have rolled by sinoe Baoon said — " Coffee comfortetb the brain add heart, also helpeth digestion !" Therefore drink Jubilee Coffee, the purest obtainable. A STEAM WHISTLE Need not run full blast all the time to let you know that it is heard, and it is not necessary that we should be always advertising by noisy statements to buy " Sal. aline," the great food preservative, for once tried always used, as it is the only reliable food preservative sold.
