Something is after You.

*♦■ Far away, in the Jungle of Central India a village lies a leep. Only a ■oHtaiy human flgare can be seen, following the winding jungle path in the moonlight. It is early eight, and the native who comes has been delayed on his way home. But what is that dark shadow that cr sses the path behind him? Quite oblivions, the man marches on. He looks neither to right nor left, nor behind him, where crouches * bat dark shadow. A few yards- more and he will be out of the jung'e. A few minutes more, and he thinks he will be sleeping in the bosom of his family. But see, the Shadow inoveß ! With two noiseless bounds like a giant cat the tigress is upon him. One despairing scream and all is quiet. Bitten through the head, the victim is snatched up and carried by the grim man-eater to her lair in the hills. Meanwhile the vil'age slumbers peacefully on. Was it the man's fau't ? Yes, I think it was. Had he not lingered, he would not have been caught. The tigress wou'd not have attacked him in broad daylight. Bat he was no worse. I f ink, than those in this country who are to-day doing the very same thing. Thousands and thousands of English men and women have a shadow in their path. It is after them. The time will come, if they do cot take heed, when they will feel, like Mrs Lydia Golding, " aB if something had overtaken " them. Here is a letter from wi.ich she tells her experience : — ■*" All my life I had been a strong healthy woman, and up to the autumn of 1891 1 never ailed anything. At this time I began to feel weak, weary, and tired as if something had overtaken me. I had a foul taste in my mou'h, 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 I 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 up a deal of frothy fluid, and in the night I awoke with a suffocating feeling Cold clammy sweats broke over me, and what with loss pf appetite, and cot being able to sleep at night, I soon got so weak tbat I found it hard work to get about. On December 23, 1892. (one Sunday morning) I wa3 suddenly seized with paralysis which affected the whole of my right side. I had no use of my hand or leg on that side 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 medicineß. After this I lost my strength rapidly and what I suffered I could not tell. " I -oould not rest night or day and I was

in and out of bed every now and again, got little aleep, only, dozing. off for a shor time and then starting yip I was afraid t< i be left alone, and of en in the nifcht I hav< ; been bo nervous and frig tened I coU'c ! scarcely bear it. I took medicines of a* kinds, but wa<* littlo better for anything 1 unti" one day in August, 1893, my husbanc read in thfi paper, " Week ! y People," ol i Mother Seigel's Oura'ive Sytttp, and goi • me a bottle from Perry and Son, Chemists High Streo, Gravesend. After taking it f 1 short time, I b°gan to gain strength, anc got stronger and stronger until I was free i from the effects of the seizure. I now keep in good heath You c<m pqb'ish this statement if yon wish."- -Yours truly, (Signed) Mrs Ltoia Golding, 12 Carter t. Road Perry Street, Gravesend, May 14th, 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 sickness ? Surely you can recognise the monster that sprang upon her as the dreaded disorder Dyspepsia which attacks you when you are most defenceless and weakest. Para'ysis ; yes, Mrs Go'ding had it, and could feel it, but what she cou'd not tel was what it was that had so acted upon her nerves and muscles B3 to cause them to become so helpless. Nor could she, I suppose, understands how Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup cared her so quickly, though we know now that it was J)e:ause 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, lf the help comes too late. Hence the best way of all, say I,ls to keep out of the jungle after dark ; and, if you must go walk quickl%.
