Nobody will Steal Them.
There are two reasons why the Crown jewels are never Bto^n from the Tower oi London. They are in a strong piacp, well guarded, and are dangerous things to handle when dishonest y Come by. Most losses of valuab'es are due either to carelessness on the part of the owner or custodians, or to bribery. Perhaps the burglar's vocation is under no circumstances an absolutely safe one. but not frequently he chances upon a " job " which is both easy and lucrative. I do not memtion this fact for the unworthy pur* pose of inducing any youth of the land to enter the profession, but so'e y to throw illustrative light upon quite another t em°. Still there is a relation between them, and we shall hit it afto we have talked a bit about the case of Mrs Mary Rowland", who lives in Wales. The kdy says that no longer than February (1898) she had a severe attack of influenza, followed by bronch tis. At this poiut we are concerned to know whether the influenza was in any sense responsible for the bronchi' is, ae cause and effect. If so, why ? It is wel] understood of course, in England, where influenza is so common, that other ailm»nls do follow it ; yet probably, the majority of us have not settled in our minds the reason for it. BAt all events, Mrs Rowlands had a low, bad time. The trouble ingered along as, sometimes, winter does, away down into the period proper for May b'os-oms. She could not seem to get the better of the throat aiment nor master the lethargy and weaknes* left hf>r as a 'egacy by the influenza. Her condition may be likened unto that of a ship which has indeed survived a gale but finds herself stripped of the eails needed to enable her to take advantage of gentler winds. The lady's hope of getting back her lost Strength by taking solid nourishing food was illusory, Every meal of that kind caused fearful distress in the stomach and acute pain at the ches*. Nature distinctly repudiated the Bolid food and almost as strenousty objected to th* liquid*, such as broths, teas and milk. It looked as if Mrs Rowlands must Btaive at her own table. Then came on asthmatic symptoms, so bad she was ofter obliged to gasp for breath. Between this combination of complaints she got but little rest da? or night. Soon after arose a threat of a still j more serious disease— a threat happily not , fulfilled. I refer to the cold, clammy j sweats that broke out upon lier, pointing j to fatal decline. The fear was natural, as j grim Consumption, with bis poisoned dart, often approaches by that same road. " I became so 1 educed and feeb'e," the lady- writss, " that my daughter had to | nurse me constantly. In the bouse, or to others, I was no use at all,. Th<> doctor who attended me 'eft nothing untried 'hat he knew of ; but, in spite of all he did, I grew wor?e ••: nd worse. j " Where I ' shou d have been to-day, j whether in the land of the H.-ing or not, who can tell, if a kind of Providence had not intervened to save mo ? In some way my husband heard of Mo'her Seigel's Syrup, and persuaded me to try it. I began taking it and soon felt better. My appetite returned, and all kinds of food agreed with me. Wi'h plenty r.f nourishment I gained strength rapidly. The asthma and the bronchial trouble vanished and a'most before I coald realis* it, ' found myself in the best of health, and have con tinned so to be ever since. For my remarkable and unexpected recovery I am under obligation to Mother SeifH's Syrup ; and so I tell all whom I know. "-(Signed) Mart Rowlands, Deri, via Cardifi, August 81. 1898. One thing Mrs Rowland*" says, in her letter which I have reserved for this pace namely, that she was a dyspeptic. Her system was weakened and her blond rendered impure by indigestion. That is the main point. That is why she was open to the attacks of influenza, bronchitis, and asthma. Her body castle being weak, the precious jewe ; of health was stolen. Keep the digestion strong and the Wood clean and pure, by the frequent nse of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and there wil! be no soi 1 for the germs of disease to grow in. The system, thus guarded, pvotects the health as the wai's and doors of the Tower ho'd safe the Crown jewels.
