Nobody will Steal Them.

There are two reasons why the Crown jewels are never stoen from the Tower of London. They are in a strong place, well ' guarded, and ' are dangewras things to hand'e when dishonestly come by. £ Most losse3. 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 uo eircums:ances an abso'utely 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 purpose of inducing any youth of the land to enter the profession, but so'e yto throw illustrative light upon quite another them 1 . Sti 1 there is a ra'aiion but ween them, and we shall hit it aft r we have talked a bit about the case of Mrs Mary Rowlands, who ivef- in Wales. Th'i 1 idy says that .no longer than February (1898) she had a severe attack of k.fluenza, followed by bronch tis. At this poiut we are concerned to know whether the influenza was in any sense responsible for the bronchitis, as cause and effect. If 80, why ? It is well understood of course, in England, where influenza is so common, that other ailm- nig do follow i it ; yet probably, the majority of U3 have 1 not settied in our minds the reason for it. At all events, Mrs Rowlands had a low, bad t : me. The troubl" lingered along as, sornelimes, winter does, away down into the period proper for May blossoms. She j could not seem to get the better of the 1 throat aiment nor master the lethargy and weakness left hor as a legacy 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 sails npeded to enable her lo take advantage of gentler winds. The lady's hope of getting back her lost strength by taking solid nourishing food , was iilusory, Every meal of that kind caused fearful distress in the stomach and acute pain at the ches'. Nature distinctly repudiated the solid food, and a most as strenously objected to the liquid?, such as broths, teas and milk. It looked as if Mrs Bowlands must staive at her own table. Then came on asthmatic t symptoms, so bad she was ofter obliged to gasp for breath. Between this combination of com. lainfs she got but littlo rest day or night. Soon after arose a threat of a still more serious disease— a threat happily not fulfilled. I refer to the cold, clammy sweats lhat broke out upon i.er, pointing to fatal decline. The fear was natural, as grim Consumption, with his poisoned dart, often approaches by that same road. " I became so i educed and feeble," the • lady writes, " that my daughter had to nurse me constantly. In the house, or to others, I was no use at all,. The doctor who attended me left nothing untried that he knew of ; but, in spite of all he did, I grew worse and worse. " Where I shou d have been to-day, ■ whether in the land of the livii?g or not, who can tell, if a kind of Providence had not intervened to save me ? In some way my husband heard of Mo.her Seigel's j : Syrup, and persuaded me to try it. I j began taking it and soon felt, better. My appetite returned, and all kinds of food agreed with me. With plenty of nouriah-

merit I gained strength rapidly. The asthma and the bronchial trouble vanished and almost before I could realise it, I found myself in the best of health, and have continued so to be over since. For my remarkable and unexpected recovery 1 am under obligation to Mother Seigel's Syrutf { ftnd so 1 tell aU whom I know. "-(Signed) Mary Rowlands, Deri, via Cardiff, August 31, 1898. One thing Mrs Rowlands says in her letter which 1 have reserved for this pace namely, that she was a dyspeptic. Her system was weakened and her blood rendered impure by indigestion. That is the main point. That is why she teas open to the attacks of influenza, bronchitis, and asthma. Her body castle being weak, the precious jewel of health was stolen. Keep the digestion strong and the blood clean and pure, by the fieqtierit use of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and there will bo no soil for the germs of disease to grow in. The system, thus guarded, protects the health as the walls and doors of the Tower hod safe the Crown jewels.
