WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US.

Like a thief at night ifc steals in upon us unawares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy ; the mouth has a bad taste especially in the morning. A sort of sticky sHire collects about the teeth. The appetite is poo ■. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stonachj sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become co ] d and feel clammy. After a whi'e a rough sets in at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greeiish co^ured expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afi'ord any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensaI tion in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and hot at tiires; the blood becoiies thick and stagnant; the whites qf the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spiting up of the food, somet'mes with a a>ar taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste ; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart; fie vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes ; tl ere is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms ayea y e in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied founs. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., but no le of the various kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmor-ously upon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well ; for in Dyspepsia (for th?s is really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and reqaire a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. Siegel's Carative Syrup acts like a oho, m in ti <*s cla^s of complaints, giving almost iir nediate relief. The following letters fiom chemi&ts of standing in the community where they live show in what estimation the article is held. Job 1 Arc 1 c , Harthill, near Sheffield :— I can confidently recommend it to all who may be suffering from liver or stomach complaints, having the testimony of my customers, who have derived great benefit from the Syrup and Pills. The sale is increasing wouderiiilly. Geo. A. Webb, I<*l, York-street, Belfast : —I have sold a large qaantity, and tho parties have testified to its being what you represent it. J. S. Me.xr.lfe, 55, Highgate, Kendal:— I have alwajc great p'easure in recommending the Curath c Syrup, for I have never known a case which it has not relieved or cured, and I have sold many grosses. Hobo. G. Gould, 27, High-street, Andover: —I have always taken a great interest in your medicares and I have recommended them, as I have fo md numerous cases of : cure fro n their use. Thomas Chapman, West Auckland :— I ! find fiat the t-ade steadily increases. I i sell more of your medicines than any other kind. N. Darroll, ClmvSa'op :— All who buy it are pleased, and recommend ifc. Jos. La'kwill, A.^.S , King^bridge : —The public see n to appreciate their grea t vaHie. A. Avmstead, Market Street, Dalton-m-Furness : — Tt is needless for me to say that your valuable medicines have great sale in this district — greater than any other I know of, giving q -eat sat'sfactfon. Robt. Lame, Melksham : — I can well recommend the Curative Syrup from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself. Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept. 23, 18S2. Dear Sir,— Last year I sent you a letter recommending Mother SeigePs Syrup. I have very much pleasure in still beaiing testiirony to the ye 'y satisfactory results of the famed Syrup and Pills. Most patent medicines die out with me; but Mother Seigel has had a steady sa T e ever since I commenced, and is still in as great demand as when I first began to sell the iredicine. The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver complaint and general debility. A certain minister in my neighbourhood says it is the only thing which has benefited ' him and restored him to his normal con* dition of heaUh after being unable to preach for a considerable length of time. I could mention a^o a great many ot'iej.* case 3, but space would not allow. A near friend of nv'ne, who is very much addicted to costive ness or constipation, finds that Mother Seigel's PWs are the only Pills wlrch suit his complaint. All other pills cause a reaction, which is veey annoying. Mother Seigel's Pills do not leave a bad after-effect. I have much pleasure in commending again to suffering humanity Mother Seigel's medicines, which are no sham. If this letter ia of any service you can publish it. Yours very truly, (Signed) Wm, S. Glass, Chemist. A. J. White, Esq. 15th August, 1883. Dear Sir, — I write to tell you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts* informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no end of doctor's medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup which he got from me has saved his life. Yours truly, (Signed) N. Webb, Mr. White. Chemist; CalneY

falling-off of quality in the quarta cruslii'd. The following table show* the Comparison of the yieM of qiwrta-work-ings in the years ending Slat March, 1885:—

With regard to the aid given by the State, daring the 12 months ending the 31st M arch, 1885, works to develope the gold fields were sanctioned to the value of £34,797. This, with the authorities for expenditure of the two previous years, gives a total of £127,549, of wh'.ch two- thirds are for roals and tracks, and one third for water supply, prospecting, and sluige and drainage channels. The outlay on roads is much the more satisfactory expenditure as it hot only opens out the country for mining, but also for its future settlement, and may be looked upon as a necessary and perlnanent work. The results in the yield of the gold from the great West Coast and Ofcago water-races have in no way beett commensurate with their cost to the colony. Thus, for* instance 1 , tha Nelson Cieek water- race, which cost £89,884, has enabled an average or 59 miners since its completion, in the beginning of 1878, to procure gold to the value of £91,735. In other words, if these miners had given their services to the colony fref, and handed over all the gold they obtained, it would have only just paid the { principal sum in 1885. The Mount Ida- race, in Otago, first opened in 1877, has cost £65,066, and the gold obtained by nuans of its water supply has been £54,770 since the trust took charge on the Ist January, 1879. Since that date the loss on working has been £2396*
