WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US.
Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel dull and eleepy ; the mouth has a bad taste especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; 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 cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in at first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenish coloured expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive j the skin is dry and hot at times ; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and nigh-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste ; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart ; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes ; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. 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 none of the various kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmoniously upon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well ; for in Dyspepsia (for this is really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and require a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. Sieeel's Curative Syrup acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost immediate relief. The following letters from chemists of standing in the community where they live show in what estimation the article is held. John Archer, 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 wonderfully. Geo. A. Webb, 141, York-street, Belfast : —I have sold a large quantity, and the parties have testified to -its being what you represent it. J. S. Metcalfe, 55, Highgate, Kendal :— I have always great pleasure in recommending the Curative Syrup, for I have never known a case which it has not relieved or cured, and I have sold many grosses. Robt. G. Gould, 27, High-street, Andover; —I have always taken a great interest in your medicines and I have recommended them, as I have found numerous cases of cure from their use. _,., T Thomas Chapman, West Auckland :— I find that the trade steadily increases. I sell more of your medicines than any other N.Darroll, Clun, Salop :~AU who buy it are pleased, and recommend it. Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S ,Kmgsbridge:— The public seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armstead, Market Street, Dalton-ia-Furness :— lt is needless for me to say that your valuable medicines have great sale in this district— greater than any other I know of, giving; great satisfaction. Kobt. Lame, Melksham:— l can well recommend the Curative Syrup from having proved ita efficacy for indigestion myS Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept. 23, 18S2. Dear Sir,— Last year I sent you a letter recommending Mother SeigeVs Syrup. # I have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony to the very satisfactory results of the famed Syrup and Pills. Most patent medicines die out with me; but Mother Seigel has had a steady sale ever since I commenced, and is still in as great demand as when I first began to sell the medicine. The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver complaint and general debility. A oertain minister in my neighbourhood says it is the only thing which has benefited him and restored him to his normal condition of health after being unable to preach for a considerable length of time. 1 could mention also a great many other cases, but space would not allow. A near friend of mine, who is very much addicted to costive ness or constipation, finds that Mother Seigel's Pills are the only Pills which suit his complaint. All other pills cause a reaction, which is very 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 is of any service you can publish it. Yours very truly, (Signed) Wm, S. Glass, Chemist. A. J. White, Esq. 15th August, 1883. ' Dear Sir,— l 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. Wm ! Mr. Wh.ifce, Chemist, Cjtac «
their worst, never lost confidence in the U'timato &ueeess of the field, was wonderfully strengthened though in an unexpected manner, for, until Mr La Monte's visit gold, not silver, had been the mineral so earnestly fought after. Nearly everyone knows the effect that has been produced by thegood results from tests of ore taken from the various reefs, and the enterprise and energy shown by those who could command the necessary capital to forthwith have erected a smelting furnace at Karangahake as well as at Thames ; but to bt thoroughly realised, a visit to the scene of operation** is necessary, and such will prove most, iutetestihg. Everybody you meet seems sanguine that a very prosperous time is in store for the district, and there is very much to warrant such a belief — although all that is going on can by no means be approved of, as by the reckless statements of s Mi.*, and thj many claims that have been pegged out all over the district in an evidently reckless manner, and with no intention of being worked, it is evident those who only desire to " make a rise" out of some one, and do not care at all for the steady prosperity of the field, have been here, as on every other goldfield. But thus probably it ever will be, which is a matter for regret, as the inevitable result of wild speculation is to injure a goo I field. Ttie amount ol assaying going on an-1 testing of reefs in every conceivable manner is something wonderful, ami taken as a whole the results obtained fully warrant the belief that rich argentiferous ore is to be had in large quantities, and that the day is not far distant when smelters (should they prove as efficient and satisfactory a method of treating the raw material here as is anticipated), will be at work at various centres on the field, the supply of quartz being u ilimited. To visit Waihi, Waitekauri, Owharoa, etc., would necessitate at least two days 1 journey, but any one can easily pay a visit to Karangahake whew the La Mont* furnace is now being erected for the Woodstock shareholders, and inspect so.ue oF the leading uiinrs and objects of interest, ami return to To Aroha same day. The road from Aroha to Paeroa is in very fair condition except through the gorge, which portion needs the immediate attention of the county council ; the mud in some places being very great, but worse than this, a number of small holes exist in the road itself, generally twelve to eighteen inches deep, which really are most dangerous traps foi horses, and if not filled up at once an accident it is to be feared will occur, probably to some one riding through at n^ht v From Paeroa to Karangahake the road id in a very ba 1 state indeed, and carting of necessity most difficult and expensive. On arriving ao Karangahake one an not but feel astonished at the activity and amount of work going on. The erection of the furnace for the "Woodstock mine is progressing rapidly, and on the various works in connection some 40 to ±b men are steadily employed. The furnace house is up, .in I m < i •••* .iljonf 45ft x 30ft x2l it stud, hating a ... k ,i id attaciied about Jdit long The foundation for the furnace is laid, the water-jacket put together, ready to place in position, and the furnace itself also in a forward state. A self-acting tramway of abuut 400 ft for the conveyance of coke, stores, etc., from where unloaded direct to the furnace house is completed ; whilst some 30 chains of horse grade has yet to be laid towards the mine, from the termination of which it is intended to construct a self-acting tram line to connect "With the mine. Forty chains of flaming will be required in forming the water race from the Ohinemuri river, the timber for which is now nearly all ready. A township site has been laid off on the opposite bank of the river, and some seventeen, allotments already applied for there. Mr A. Hogg who has just erected a large new store has been appointed postmaster ; the mail service will be triweekly, and probably commence this week. SEPAitPTION AT LAST. After a long struggle and many failures, Ohinemuri residents have succeeded in getting separation, whereby their district will be constituted a separate county. There are to be four ridings, viz., Paeroa,. Karangahake, Waitoa and Waitekauri. Waitoa riding is to return one member, Karangahake end Waitekauri two each, and Paeroa three. "We sincerly hope now that the wish of our neighbours has been acceded to, that they will combine amongst themselves for the general good and advancement of their district, and make a w.se use of the powers conferred on them.
