Up In the World.

Whan your enemy is down keep him down is the advice offered by those who regard the game of Hie only in its brutal aspect. It was res md for the twelve-vear-old boy who afterwards became the first Duke of What ton to adopt and put into practice the oou rary opinion. The father of this young hopeful w.sb a friend of Joseph Addison the distinguished critic, and was anxious to secure his services as tator for his son. Wi'-h this view, Addison was invited to the Wharton country estate where he was charmed by the engaging manners of bis 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 nart of tbs estate to see some race horses, was Greatly concerned at having forgotten •.JTS» W t.J- "So molMr.” «U Addison. I « aQ ohmb 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 Took, and begun swinging the stately Addison a'oit in that ridiouiout situation. m , 0 u ara to be my tutor,” said the boy, «Imay as well make terms with you while li.aveyoain my power,” and forthwith proceed to extract various promises of leniency Ism the critic before ho would

allow him to descend. Addison thought it better not to undertake the instruction of that youth. Now, whatever may be said of the po'icy of keeping your enemy " down ” or “ up,” as the case may be, the great difficulty usually is the getting of him into one or other of those positions. With regard to health, it is certain y easier to retain it unimpaired than to recover it when once it is lost; but that cures are affected, even where the iudications seem hopeless, the following case will prove. It is described by Mr Charles, M. Morrison, of Arcade Buildings, High Street, Armadale, Victoria, under date January 9, 1902. “In 1889,” says Mr Morr’son, “ a fire broke out in the kitchen of the house I then occupied in Melbourne. The flames burst forth with great fury, and threatened to speedily destroy the house and its contents. My wife was first to discover the fire, and she rushed forth to give the alarm. A neighbour’s Newfoundland dog, hearing her outcry and seeing her run, sprang at her and knocked her .down. Fortunately the fire was extinguished before it had time to reach the main building ; but the sho6k 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 possible for anyone to be and yst live. Her nervous system was entirely deranged. She was unable to sleep, and perceptibly wasted away day by day. But 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 this pitiable condition my wife continued for years, notwithstanding that she was at various times under treatment of no less than five different doctors. None of them appeared to understand her case, and all their efforts to relievo her proved quite futilo. One doctor suspected she was suffering from cancer of the stomach. He made a searching examination, and. as a result of his investigations, stated that though there was no cancer, the stomach was badly ulcerated. He thought her condition very precarious However, he could do nothing for her, and we had quite lost faith in doctors and proprietary medicines whan, a little over three years ago, a friend advised us to try Mother Seigel’a Curative Syrup. He was very persistent, and at last we obtained a bottle of it. My wife took it regularly, os 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, j She took Mother Soigei’s Curative Syrup! three times a day for three months, at the S 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 househo d duties, j Having got the enemy ‘ down ’ or up ’) j by aid of Mother Seigal’s Curative Syrup, | we intended to keep him in that position : by the same means. We hope our experience may prove of benefit to others.”
