Three Phases of Life.

At birth we respire, at twenty-fiveaspiro, at eighty expire. This is the beginning, the sum, and the end of us, according to the philosophic mind of Hugo. He states the phenomena of life tersely, and with the touch and meaning of a master. That is all right for those who are in a frame of mind to philosophise. The panorama of life is one thing; its detail and analys’s quite another. . _ Th® greater question is: How are you living ? How am I existing ? That conearns us more. There is a vast difference between living and existing. It is the difference between health, strength, happiness, aspiration and power in whatever humble sphere we work, and the endurance, the anguish, the pain and misery of bodily affliction. Nature fashioned us ail to be healthy, .She did more; she secreted roots and herbs m her fields and forests to assist soma of us to maintain this health, or regain it when lost. Thare is a gentleman living at 373, Bonrke Street, Sydney, whose interesting story illustrates this in a practical, common sense way. ‘‘Six /ears ago, ho writes, “my health broke down badly. My appetite got to be fickle and uncertain; then failed entirely. What I forced myself to swallow did mo but small good. In fact it often gave me such diloomfort and distress that I actually dreaded to sit down to table. .... .. Aj ter ft while my stomach and other digestive organs became so upset and dis•rdered that I wa* practically forced to live—or rather exist—on a diet of slops, gruel, weak broths. &0., and even these thing* occasioned me considerable pain and inconvenience. Medical treatment did me ‘*From 6 to time I tried all sorts of medicines that were recommended to me, or that I saw advertised, but with no better results. I became so debilitated that my relatives thought I was going into a dine. In truth I was fearfully thin and wasted. At this stage of my trouble a friend said I ought to try Seigel’a Syrup. Ho made the strongest kind of a point of it, and pressed the idea upon mo. I yielded, and it was the best investment I ever made. •> t began taking the medicine without faith, as I was sceptical as to the virtues of drugs and physics in general, but before I had taken half a dozen doses I found I was on the right track at last. •• In short, I persevered with the Syrup, taking it strictly according to the directions. and it speedily alleviated and ultimately cured my complaint. I used m [all four bottles, and while still on the fourth I felt myself a new man. I could eat well, sleep well, and work well; and once more laugh and enjoy myself to the full. Mors than this what does any man want ?—what more can the world give him ? " As to thoroughness and permanence of the our# there can be no doubt, as what I have related took place over five years ago, and since then I have remained in good health with the exception of trifling ailments unworthy of mention. “ Other members of onr family—notably my sister Emma Lillian, who has sent you her own account of her case —have derived signal benefit from the use of the Syrup, and can tell their stories for themselves. We a'ways keep a bottle in the house, and whenever any of us feel out of sorts, hipped, or seedy, we take a dose or two and it never fails to give the needed relief. “ In conclusion. I can honestly and conscientiously recommend Seigel’s Syrup to any persons who may be suffering from a weak stomach, impaired digestion, chrome dyspepsia or kindred complaints as a remedy that will really accomplish all that is claimed for it ."-(Signed) William James Edward Fisher. 873. Bourke Street, Dailinghurst. Sydney. June 26th. 1901. Seigel’s Byrnp is made of eighteen natural ingredients, each ef which is a product ot the soil. Its curative properties are derived from roots and herbs in scientific combination, and its healing action has been acknowledged in all oivilisea parts of the world during the past thirty-three years. Kept handy for occasional use. it keeps the body strong and the functions active. This is the way to resist diseases, to avoid the daily miseries which take the snap and go out of life. There is a difference between living and existing as Mr Fisher ro'ates. ■■

Mr Fraser, Crown Prosecutor: I Just so; the Justices have over-1 ruled tbe Magistrate. I do not intend to proceed further. Wears on the verge of a public scandal. Mr Carew said Mr Fraser should not make these remarks. Mr Smith, J.P., thought the remarks uncalled-for. In each case the thing had not been proved. The other charges were adjourned till March 6th,—Press Association,
