Something is after You.

♦ Far away, in the Jungle of Central India a village lies a leep. Only a solitary human figure can be saen, following the winding jungle path in the moonlight. It is early night, and the native who comes has been delayed on his way home. But what is that dark shadow that cmsses the path behind him? Quite oblivious, the man marches on. He looks neither to right nor left, nor behind him, where crouches that dark shadow. A lew.' yards more and he will be out of the junpr c. A few minutes more, and he thinks he will be sleeping in the bosom of his family. But see, the Shadow moves ! With two noiseless bounds like a giant cat the tigress is upon him. One despairing scream and all is qniet. Bitten through the head, the victim is snatched

up and carried by the grim man-eater to her lair in the hills. Meanwhile the vilage s'urabers peaceful'y on. Was it the man's fau t ? Yea, I think it vnm. Had he not lingered, he won'd not have been ca'iqht. The tigress wou d not have attacked him in broad daylight. Bat he was no worse. 1 t ink, than those in this country who are (0-day doing the very same thing. Thousands and thonsandi of English men and women have a shadow in their path. It i? after them. The time will com •, if they do &ot take heed, when th»y wl 1 feel, like Mrs Lydia Golding, " as if somethi g had overtaken " them, Here is a letter from winch she telis her experience :— " All my life I had been a strong healthy woman, and up to the autumn of 1891 I never ailed anything. At this time I began to feel weak, weary, and tired as i>" something had overtaken me. I had a foul taste in my mouth, my tongue being furred, and a sour fluid wou'd rise into my mouth. I had no appetite to speak of, and the little food 1 took gave me no ' strength. After eating I had a heavy weight and pain across my chest, and a gnawing feeling in my stomach. I be'ehed np a deal of frothy fluid, and in the night I woke with a suffocating feeling C»?d clammy sweats broke over me. and what with loss of appetite, and cot being able to sleep at night, I soon got so weak that / found it hard xoork to get about. On December 28, 1892. (one Sunday morning) I was suddenly seized .witli paralysis which affected the whole of ray right aide. I had no u«e of my hand or leg on that aide and a numbness took me on both left and right sides. My husband got me to bed, and fetched a doctor from Northfleet, who gave me medicines. » After this I lost my strength rapidly and what I suffered I conld not tell. •• I could not rest night or day and I was in and out of bed every now and again. I got little sleep, only dozing off for a short time and then starting up I was afraid to be left alone, and often in the night I have been bo nervous and frightened I oou'd scarcely bear it. I took medicines of a'l kinds, but was little better for anything, until one day in August, 1893, my husband read in the paper, " Weekly People," of Mother Stigel's Curative Syrup, and got me ft bottle from P«rry and Son, Chemists, High Stree, Gravesend. After taking it a short time, I began to gain strength, and got stronger and stronger until I was free from the effects of the seizure. I now keep in good health. You can publish this statement if you wish."- -Yours truly, (Signed) Mas Lydia Gouhno, 12 Carter's Eoad Perry Street, Gravesend, May 14tb, 1896. What was this shadow that had crossed Mrs Golding's path ? What was it that "overtook" her and laid her helpless and suffering upon a bed of siokn«ss ? Surely 700 can recognise the monster that sprang upon her as the dreaded disorder Dyspepsia; which attacks you when you are most defenceless and weakest. Paralysis ; yes, Mrs Golding bad it, and could feel it, but what she could not f el was what it was that hod so acted upon her nerves and muscles as to cause them to become so helpless. Nor could she, I suppose, understands hoto Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup oured her so quickly, though we know now that it was because the dyspepsia was got rid of. But, as the native was never heard of more so there are some who cannot get out of the clutches of Dyspepsia, even with such hep as Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, if the help comes too late. Hence the best way of all, say I. is to keep out of the jung'e after dark ; and, if you must go walk quickly.
