WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US.

« Like a thief at night it steals in upon us r unawares. Many persons have pains about t the chest and sides, and sometimes in the t back. They teel dull and sleepy ; the mouth a has a bad taste especially in the morning. a A. sort of sticky slime collects about the . teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a n feeling like a heavy load on the stomach ; 1 sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the ; pit of tho stomach which food does not J satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands i and feet become cold and feel clammy. 0 After a while a cough sets in at first dry, 1 but after a few months it is attended with y a greenish coloured expectoration. The 1 afllicted one feels tired all the while, and b sleep does not seem to afford any rest, a After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, i and gloomy, and has evil forebodings, t There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensa1 tion in the head when rising up suddenly. b The bowels become costive ; the skin is i- dry and hot at times ; the blood becomes e thick and stagnant ; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine 1 is scanty and high-coloured, depositing , a sediment after standing. There is fres quently a spitting up of the food, some e times with a sour taste, and sometimes with t a sweetish taste ; this is frequently atten- ,- ded with palpitation of the heart ; the - vision becomes impaired with spots before g 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 ha\f mistaken the nature of this disease. Sony*, have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., but none of the various kinds of treatment have been attep ded with success, because the remedy should be such as to act harmoniously upon oach 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 tho 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 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, 53, 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 reccmuiended 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 othe/ kind. N. Darroll, Clun, Salop :— All who buy ifc are pleased, and recommend it. Jos. Balk will, A.P.S , Kingsbridge : — The public seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armstoad, Market Street, Dalton-m-Furness : — 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 groat satisfaction. llobt. Laine, 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 Seigel's Syrup. I havo vory muoh 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 sine© I commenced, and is still in as great demand as when I first began to sell the medicine. The euros 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 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 whicli suit his complaint. All other pills cause a reaction, which is very annoying. Mother Seigel's Pills do not leavo 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 1 , 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 medicino without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup which he got from me has saved his life, Yours truly 5 (Signed) N. Wijbb, , Mr. White. Chemist, CWne. l

ing letter from Mr La Monte was read :- "In case of re-formation of the Company and a new directorate appointed I would make the following suggestions, First : That an experienced manager be secured such as I could recommend capable of making up the changes for furnace and assaying lots of ores and determining their commercial value, and that he receives the full support of the Board ; also that a full purchase list be adopted and published, as also a copy of the Freyling and Swansea Smelting charges and prices paid for gold and silver ; also Melbourne quotations as comparative statements. I would euggest the following figures as being very nearly correct for working purposes : — Price paid for silver, 3s 9d ; do. for gold, L3 17s Gd ; smelling charges, £i per ton ; ores valued at under L10, 75 per cent. ; do. L20, 80 per cent ; do. L50, 63^ per cent ; LlOO, 85 per cent. Ores containing over 20 per cent of lead per ton tD be paid for at the rate of L»8 per ton metallic. That the furnace be enlarged at once, and that the use of water power be considered. Some discussion ensued, during which it was mentioned that Dodd's patents were in the possession of the Bank of New Zealand and could not be Landed over to the Company until they had paid L 1,5 00. Mr Adam Porter moved : That the directors have full power to dispose with the property of the Company for the fall amount of its indebtedness." This wonld reduce the loss of the the shareholders po 7s per share. He believed that a new syndicate would be formed in Auckland without trouble. Mr C. Alexander seconded. Mr Camp! ell moved as an amendment, " That the directors be authorised to make such arrangements as shall, in their opinion, enable the Company to carry on operations either by smelting themselves, or leasing the furnace and selling th licenses." Colonel Frazer seconded. This was put and lost. A further Amendment by Mr Tucker. *' Th'it the directors be instructed to enforce the agreement in full with Mr La Monte, or that he be invited to mike any proposal for the settlement of the question" did not find a seconder. A lengthy discussion ensueJ, when Mr Campbell reminded the meeting that any steps that would be taken would require confinnation at an extraordinary meeting. Mr Porter's motion was eventually carried with the addeudu n, " and that nn extraordinary meeting of shareholders be held to confirm the same." — Auckland Star.

Porlraps the most telling portion of Major Atkinson's late Auckland speech was when he denounce.! the projected ten million loan, an.l the vigorous pu'ulic works policy, as simply a treacherous anil crafty screen to conceal the iniquity of committing the Colony to the notorious East and West Coast Railway job. The Hon. J. A. Tole frankly confessed in his Hte speech to his constituents that it was a case of might rather than right, saying that whatever Ministry was in office would be compelled '• to run before the pressure brought to bear upon them to construct tlu great East and West Coast Railway tu the South," and we are entirely and heartily in accord with him on that point, for we have yet to learn that our statesman can honestly- purchase the support of any section of the House, by the wholesale expenditure of public money upon gigantic works from which their most sanguine advocates only estimate a probable return of from one or two per cent, thus leaving an enormous deficit to increase the burden of taxation. Since the most certain and immediate effect of opening up the country with roads and railways will be to enhance the value cf freehold property, we maintain that before Parliament sanctions the expenditure of another shilling upon public works, the annual unimproved value of land throughout the Colony sboulJ be carefuily registered, and the future unearned increment secured by a tax upon land, or rather ground rent, for the Stale. The Colony might then be safely and profitably opened up with roads and railways in every direction, since such public works invariable eahauce the value of land far in excess of the cost of their construction ; but to expend public money wholesale to enrich land owners, and then throw the burden oF interest upon the poor through the Custom House, 7fi nothing more or less than wholesale robbery. — Watchman.
