WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS UNKNOWN.

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 teel dull and sleepy • the mouth has a bad taste especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite 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, tho 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. atteaded 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; 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 high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a souv 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 h&xf mistaken the nature of this disease. Sony have tieated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., but none of the various kinds of treatment have been attei> ded with success, because the reinecf> 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. Siegel's Curative Syrup acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost immediate relief. The following letters from chemists of standing in tha 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 fiom liver or stomach complaints, having the testimony of my customers, who have derived great benefit from the Syrup and Pills. The sale is in. creasing 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 Ihave never known a case which ifc 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. Thomas Chapman, West Auckland.: — I find that the trade steadily increases. I sell more of your medicines than any oth^ kind. N. Darroll, Clun, Salop : —All who buy it are pleased, and recommend it. Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S , Kingsbridge r— The public seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armstead, Market Street, Dalton-ia-Furness :—lt: — It 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. Robt. Lame, Melksham :— I can well recommend the Curative Syrup from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself. Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarsliire, Sept. 23, 18S2. Dear Sir, — Last year I sent you a letter recommending Mother Seigel's 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 Beigel has had a steady sale over 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 pertain 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. I 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) Wu, 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 cud of doctor's medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup which he got from me kafl saved his life. Yours truly, (Signed) N. Webb, ■ . Mr. White. Chemist. Oalna.

able quantities of t'le precious metals in the simples sent from this district, thougn most of tlioju gave trace* of both gold an I silver. The geological formation here. is the Same ns that of the To Aroha and Waiofongomai gol«l fields, being composed of lavas (dioritea or fcropylites probably), with occasional beds of volcanic tufas and breccias In traversing the be I of the WaiteUohi river, I was shown a great many small *ems of quartz, and several of nearly pure calcite, nearly all heavily charged with iron pyrites. Unfortunately the Veins are all very small, and the country is very hard as a rule. In such hard blue rock as many of the veins are found in, I should not expect to -find much gold, for It is now generally agreed that gold finds its way into the reefs From "the country rock, and is a result of its decomposition. Where, therefore, we find the country rock hard and undecomposed, any gold it may contain cannot have been washed out into the reefs. The bands of soft tufa country seem to be few and of small extent compared to the hard lava bands, so that even if gold were found in the tufa ("sandstone" of the miners), the lava would continually be encountered, and working would consequently be most expensive. There has been veYy little quartz found in the Waitekohi river, which renders it unlikely that there are any large reefs near it. Looking at the generally hard nature of the country, and the small size of the Veins found as yet, I do not look on this .Hstrict «s likely to prove a payable goldfidd. Mr Mtton who has prospected the country for "a long 1 time past, informs me that near the head of the Waitekdhi river where 1 did not go, the fcotmtry becomes much softer, and a ** kindly sandsltone" makes its appearance. It fa in these bands of soft "sandstone" that the gold is likely to be found, 5f at all. The upper part of the Waitekohi might be better worth prospecting than the 'portion I examined. Present appearances do. not, however, warrant much expense in opening up the countiy for prW^pectifrg". f Tvm«t take this opportunity of thanking you. sir, ami the members of the Taur.-ino-fl Committee for many kindn 'St.es during my short visit to the di^tnet; to Captain Turner, and to Messrs .trui Moon 1 am especially in \Aitr \ f.ir the tjreat amount of trouble which they took to show me the different reefs in the Ivaimai and Waitekohi district?, an.l for & large amount of information. — I have &c, A. Montgomery, M.A. R. C. Jordon Esq., Mayor of Tauranga.
