Nostalgia.

Nostalgia is not an English word. Unfortunately we have no word in our language which conveys precisely the same meaning, hence its use in this place. " Home-sickness ’’ won’t do, for that may be taken to signify disgust with one’s home and a desire to leave it, whereas nostalgia means the longing or pining for one’s original home and a renewal ef the sweet companionship ol ♦* the old fcmilUi

face*." Nostalgia, is very prevalent in all newly-settled countries, but its symptoms are not defined with sufficient aliment. Like other forms of mental worry, it not unfrequently produces suffering of a kind with which everybody Is nore or leas familiar. - 'll When two years Mr T. Blamires, of fi 46, Jeffrey’s Street, North Shore, Sydney, I N.S.W., began ‘ to suffer from indigestion, I had it been possible for him to have in-1 haled the delightful sea breezes of Scar-1 borough feasted his eyes on the fresh I greenr (igg 0 j t^e Yorkshire hills, be would I «* u v.tless have escaped much, but not all, I •* the misery attending that complaint. I xint Mr Blamires’ duty kept him far from I his native England. “ While in Queens-1 land during Jane, 1900,” says Mr Blamires, I “my occupation obliged me to constantly I travel through the bush districts of that I State. The coarse fare provided, the I bosh hotels combined with the Vrtrain and I worry inseparable from traveling through I those thinly-populated disordered I my system and bro«gh. c on a Bevere attack! of indigestion. F« r levera l months l| lettered greatly f'-om that dreadful malady, | soma of my symptoms being distension of | stomac aa ft er eating, gnawing pans! at the palpitation of the heart, ard ! «coas\anal attacks of diarrhoea alternating! w *!»n periods of constipation, resulting m generally in extreme nervous debility. was advised to try the hot water cure, and! did so, but found it powerless to benefit ■ me; and the numerous mixtures pre-fl scribed by various doctors 'and chemists ■ which I took from tim« to time were I attended with no better result. At oral time I feared that f, npas suffering from! heart disease, and. t 0 satisfy myself on that | important I consulted a doctor ial Brisbane, /jter studying my case with I great tho r . <U gim eag| the Brisbane dc atari th a t my heart was not affected I and my diagnosis was correct, yet hia ! tre iAtment entirely failed to touch my com- J Vlaint. I ** While I was in this deplorable state I bl health several persons advised me to I try Mother Seigal’s Curative' Syrup. I stating that they had themselves been I «ured of indigestion by it; but for a long I itima I gave little head to what they said, I -preferring, if possible, to find a remedy in I say own way. When, however, by repeated I failures it became olear that I was unable! to da this, I determined to give Mother I ieigel’s Curative Syrup a trial. With no I groat hops of any better results than bad I attended my former efforts, I bought a ! bottle from a storekeeper, and after taking |l a few doses of it was agreeab y surprised ! to find that it was doing me good. Be- I Sloed at this unexpected good fortune, 11 temined to continue its use, but found! by the lime I had taken four bottles 1 was! thoroughly cured of my trouble and felt! like a new man. In all honesty and with I the utmost confidence I heartily reoom-1 mend Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup to! all who suffer from indigestion and its! kindred complaints. My business occasional me to travel extensively throughout the I Australian States, and since my experience I of its efficacy, 1 should be sorry ever to be I unprovided with it.” More convincing! testimony than that of this genial York-1 ehireman it would bb hard indeed to find.
