When one of Dr Abernethy's patients remarked that it gave him. great pain to lift his hand to his head, the eminent physician responded tha», in such cae, he was a fool for doing it. The observation was both brutal and unprofessional. Jhe very fact that the act was painful md cated a condition calling for msdic.il treatment; and to provide that, if he could, was the doctor's duty. Still one might get on in comparative cumfort without HI ing his. hand to his head, if that were the only Bource of pain about him. But when a bodi'y operation which is absolutely indispensable to life, becomes constantly painful, the situation is vastly more serious. And that was what happened to Mrs Emma Blwen, as related in her letter herewith panted for our information. " In the spring of 1889," she says, " I began to feet weak and ailing. From b ing a strorg healthy women, I gradually lo*t. a'l my strengih and energy. My appetita was poor, and allfood gave me pain." Be good enough for a moment to fix your mind on that statement. Nature has so arranged that a'l necessary acts or movements of the body shall be painleEs, if not distinctly pleasurable. Were it otherwise, we shonld avoid them to the extent of our power, and so produce iccalculable mischief. And, above all, the act and consequences oi eating were meant to be, and in health, are/one of the highest of onr physical enjoyments. |Thi3 lady having suffered from her food, then, signifies a state of things unnatural and dangerous. "I had fullness and pain at the chest," Bhe continues, " between the shoulders aud down my back. I had also a deal of pain at my Bide, and my heart palpitated so much that I got but litt'e Bleep or rest on account of it. My breathing was short and difficult. I was unable to do my houcework, and often wished I were dead." The words, •• I vrish I were dead," are often on the lips of the victims of what seems to be hope'ess disease, and they are Bad and chilling words to fall on the ears of those of us who love them. They make ub look despairingly around for the help which is slow to come, and too frequently never comes at all. Is there, then, no medioine which has power ti save ? "I grew to be fo weak." adds the writer, " that I was from time to time confined to my bed, and at other times bad to lie down on the couch. I loat flf sh rapidly and wa3 like a mere skeleton— my clothes hanging upon me. For three years I suffered in this way, no medicine that I took doing me any good. •• In February, 1892, the Rev. Mr Knight of Bißhop Auck'and, recommended me to take Mother Siegel's Curative Syrup. Acting on his advice I procured a botte from the Co-operative •■ tores at Bishop Ajqfrji.pA, and after taking it I began to fmMfli^, My appetite returned, and food ag.e*4i»ith me, and I felt easier than I bad done for years. The pain at my heart was leß3 severe, and I gained strength every day. " Seeing this, 1 continued to use this remedy, and gradually I recovered my health, gaining three stow weight. Since that lime I have kept in good heath. My husband has a 1 so bent filed by the nse of Mother Seigel's Syrup when suffering from indigestion.

If Mis Elwen were the only women in district wherein Bhe lives who had •offered in this manner, the fact should excite the iuterest of the intelligent reader bat there are multitudes of others all over the land aU over the world. Her ai'ment was not heart dis ase, it was not any form of consumption, it was not rheumatism, It was dyspepsia — the. disease that counterfeits most others and has many of
