Up In the World.

Whoa your enemy is down keep him down is the advice offered by those who regard the game of life only in its brutal fttpeot. It was reserved for the twelveyear>old boy who afterwards became the first Duke of Wharton to adopt and put into practice the contrary opinion. The father of this young hopeful was a friend of Joseph Addison, the distinguished critic, and was anxious to secure his services as tu'or for his son. With this view, Addison was invited to ths Wharton country estate whero ha was charmed by the engaging manners of his prospective pupil, who showed him over the place and proved a most intelligent guide. The little lord having one day taken Addison to a distant part of the estate to see some race horses, was greatly concerned at having forgotten to bring the key. "No matter,” said Addison, " I can climb over it, I think ” ; then with difficulty mounted to the top bar. At that moment the little lord whipped a key out of his pocket, opened the look, and begun swinging the stately Addisoh aloft in that ridiculous situation. « Al yon are to be my tutor,” said the boy, «■ I may as well make terms with jou while I have you In my power,”' and forthwith proceed to extract various promises of leniency from the critic before he would allow him to descend. Addison thought it hotter not to undertake the instruction of may be said of the policy of keeping your enemy " down " or " up, !• the esse may be, the great difficulty ■sually is the getting of him into one or other ot those positions. With regard to health, Ur is oertaimy easier to retain it antmpairsd than to recover it when onoa it is lost { but that cures are affected, even Where the indications seem hopeless, the lollbwUtr CM® will prove. It is described by Mr Charles M. Morrison, of Arcade BmlStnmi High Street, Armadale, Victoria, SHMUry 9. 1902 "In 1889” lays.tfr Morrison," a fire broke out, m the kitchen ot the house; I then"'occupied in Mribcnirne. The flames burst forth with great fury, ai d threatened to speedily da* «ta» the haasoend its contents My wife was first'to discover the fire, and she tosbed forth to give the alarm. A neighbour's Newfoundland dog, hearing her outfir*and.seeing her run, sprang at her and knocked her down- Fortunately the fire Wat extinguished before -it had time to mob the main building; but the shock of it intensified by the attack of the dog, had a calamitous effect upon the health of my Wife. She was completely prostrated by it, and brought as near to death as it is passible for anyone to be and yet live. HsraitTOUa system was entirely deranged. She was unable to sleep, and perceptibly Wasted away day by day. But her moat serious trouble was an inability to retain food. The small quantity which shforced herself to take, nearly always occasioned vomiting and intense pain. In this pitiable condition my wife continued IM jeers, notwithstanding that she was a; various times undor treatment of no less than five different doctors. None of them appeared to understand her case, and all their efforts to relieve her proved quite futile. One doctor suspected she was gnffuring from cancer of the stomach. Ho made a searching examination, and. as a result of hU investigations, stated that though there was no cancer, the stomach wae bad y u:ceratad. Bethought her condition very precarious However, lie could ‘ ,£o nothing lor her, and we had - quite lost faith in doctors and proprietary medicines vhon. a Utile over three years ago, a friend advised OB’ to try, Mother Seigel’s Curauve Bvru&.' He was very persistent, and at last we obtained a tattle of it. My wife took it xuttlariy, as proscribed, and soon began to hrodit« health and strength. In a litt'o While she was able to take ordinary food, and retain it without pain or inconvenience. She took Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup three' tomes a toy for three months, at the qwsgUtllS'

cured, and she has remained well every since. At present she is quite plump, has lost the haggard look she once had, and is able to perform her household duties. Having got the enemy • down ’ (* or up ’) by aid of Mother Seigal’s Curative Syrup, wa intended to keep him in that position by the same means. We hope our experience may prove of benefit to others.”
