Up in the World.

When your enemy is down keep, him down is the advice offered by those Who regard the game ef life only in its brutal aspect. It was reserved for the twelve-year-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, 1 and was anxious to secure his services as , tntor for hie son. With this view, Addison was invited to the Wharton country estate where he was charmed by the engaging )’ manners ol his prospective pupil, who showed Mm 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 sss soma 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 Addim aloft in that ridiculous situation. « As you are to bo my tutor,” said the boy, •• I mav as well make terms with you while I have you in my power," and forthwith proceed to extract various promises ef leniency from the critic before he would -fallow him to descend. Addison thought it Khetter not to undertake the instruction of may be said of the polioy sti keeping your enemy “down" or “up,” aa tlm case may be, the great difficulty usually is the getting ol him into one or other of those position*. With regard to hoalth.il is certainly easier.to retain it unimpaired than to recover it when once it Is lasts but that cures are affected, oven Where'tbe indications seem hopeless, the following case will prove. It is described by Mr Charles M. Mornson, of Arcade - Raidings, High Street, Armadale, Victoria, under date January 9, 1902. "In 1889,” ■ays Mr Morrison, “ a firs broke out m the Sr&h.r. 0 { the house I then occupied in Melbourne. The flames burst forth with great fury, andf threatened to speedily destroy the house and its contents. My wile was first to discover the fire, and she rushed forth to give the alarm; A neighbour’s Newfoundland deg. hearing her outcry and seeing her run, sprang at her and ■ knocked her down. Fortunately tbs fire ..Wae extinguished before it had time to reach the main bni'diog; 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, gnd brought as near to death as it is Bissible for anyone to be and yet live, er nervous system was entirely deranged. ■ She was unable to sleep, and perceptibly wasted away day by day. Bat her most serious trouble was an Inability to retain food. The small quantity which she forced herself to take nearly always occasioned vomiting and intense pain. In IhU pitiable condition my wife continued for years, notwithstanding that she was at t various times under treatment of no less five different doctors; None of them Ibßmieared to understand her case, and all efforts to relieve her proved quite E'foUle. One doctor suspected sha was ■I goffering from cancer of the stomach. He I'-: jcbde ft searching examination, and. as a Rt result of bis investigations, stated that though there was no cancer, Ihe stomach mi was badly ulcerated. Ho thought her ooa■Piitton very precarious However, he could Kffio nothing for her. and we had quite lost Ktiith to doctors and proprietary medicines Kvrheri. a little over three year# ago, a friend Wit try Mother Seigel’s Curative BBvfe'i’i' t “

Syrup. He was very persistent, and at last wa obtained a bottle of it. My wife took it regularly, as prescribed, and*soon began to benefit in health and strength. In a little while she was able to take ordinary food, and retain it without pain or inconvenience, She took Mother Seigol’a Curative Syrup three times a day for three months, at the end of which time she was completely 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 Seigei’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.”
