TECS! Stomach' SVXAXSSSe THS MAN. A competent stomach means vigour, vitality, health, for by digestion alone can food be transformed into blood, brain, muscle, wasted tissues repaired, decay arrested and life sustained, Imperfect digestion (indigestion) upsets the whole 'economy of life. It makes good food poison, breeds dolts, laggards, /hobbling rheumatics, nerve racking pains. Seigel's Syrup ensures 'digestion, dispels disease, produces health, Backed by 34 years' uni broken success In 16 countries. SYRUP u Two years ago I contracted indigestion and bad it pretty badly,” says t Mr. Geo. Matthews, 93» Bourke St., k Sydney, N.S.W; “ I suffered from severe pains in the stomach, sleep-jj lessness and vomiting. I lost flesh and strength rapidly and could not work nearly so well as previously. My wife induced me to . try Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. The first bottle relieved, k me wonderfully and before the second was emptied 1 was^, L quite cured and as "fight as fain.” July ist, 1902.

Cannibalism. Sir H. Johnston, who was loudly | cheered, in responding to the toast of his health at a dinner of the’Savage | Club at the Hotel Cecil, said he natu- ' rally took an interest in savages, and : he was coming to take a greater in- j terest in English savagery than in Af- ! rican, which was fast disappearing | under the influence of a not altogether , beneficent civilisation. He remem'bered well his first African banquet.'| It was a banquet—this was a perfectly ‘ true story—given by real savages in a very wild district in West Africa. He was a very timid guest, for he had been ' hauled out,of his canoe to attend the \ banquet, and his porters were all temporarily imprisoned. It was a great I feast in honour of some ancestors; j and he was told that this ancestral ! feast consisted to soma extent of the ancestors themselves, (Loud laughter.) In the course of the feast there ; was served a red paste of a rather agreeable flavour. He asked its composition, and received THE LACONIC REPLY, “ MAN7’ I He was told this paste was made from a relative—(laughter)—who had been smoked over a fire of weeds, and was subsequently cut up and made into a paste with palm oil and red pepper. By partaking of some of this he was thenceforth regarded as being no stranger to the tribe. At his last Afri- ; can banquet, about a year ago, it was again an assembly of black people, but this time the menu was written in French—(laughter)—aud the feast was certainly cooked under French iuflu- J ence. So. in this, as in other directions, Africa was losing its savagery, and he was afraid lite there would soon become as tame as our life seemed to us.
