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 sleepy ; the mouth has a bad taste especially in the morning. A sort of sticky clime 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 aftbid any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloom v, 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 ani high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, some times 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 j there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. AH 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. Som^ have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., but none of the various kinds of treatment have been attef ded 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. 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 in • creasing wonderfully. Geo. A. Webb, 141, York-street, Belfast : -I have sold a large quantity, and tho 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 yoiir 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. ,1 sell more of your medicines than any oth^ kind. N. Darroll, Chin. Salop :— All who buy it are pleased, and recommend it. Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S ,Kingsb ridge : —The public seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armstead, Market Street, Daltoniii-, Furness :—lfc: — Ifc 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. Uobt. Lame, Melksham : — I can well. recommend the Curative Syrup from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself. Fi'iocUheim. Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept.' 23, ISS2. Dear Sir,— Last year I sent you a letter recommending Mother Seigel's Syrup. I have very much pleasure in still bearingtestimony 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 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 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 lnuch 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, .

4. " That the laws m force on the Southern, goldfields, relative to the working of old ground and abandoned claims, be extended to the goldfiolds of the North Island." 5. " That the cosfc of licenses for water righis, machine sites, dams, etc., be made uniform throughout the colony." 6. " That the Improvement Committee be requested to petition Government for a grant of £2000 to form a dray road as far as practicable to tha Tui Greek - mines, and that the Warden for the -district and Otuncmuri County Council be requested to support the petition." Tho following is the petition referred to :—: — To the Hon. W. J. M. Lahfa.cU, Minister of Mines, Wellington. We, the undersigned minors and others, resitlent in Te Aroha and neighbourhood, beg respectfully to draw the attention of your honourable House to the urgent necessity for opening up the Tui Creek mining distiict by means of a good dray. -road. A large area of ground has now been taken up in that district. Some twenty leases are now in occupation, and this number is certain to be largely increased when the district is opened up by means of a good dray road, without which .many -claims that have yiel led fair prospects will havo to be abandoned, as they cannot be profitably worked under present conditions. The bridle track made some time since has been of service in allowing various claims to be proved, but the cost of transit by that road is so heavy as to be entirely prohibitory. The cost of haulage alone up to the present time has been nearly £3 per ton, whereas by the proposed dray road the expense would not exceed six shillings. Much money h«3 already been spent in opening up the district, and this money will have been uselessly expended unless this work is carried out. Tho locality has been visited by Sir Frederick Whitaker, Col. Fraser, ProFessor Black, Mr Montgomery, of the Mines Department, Mr LaMonte, Warden Kenriek, and a number of scientific experts, and every one of them have been most favourably impressed with the resources of the district. As showing the quality of the reefs, it may be mentioned that 40 tons of ore taken from different claims Lave been sold to the LaMonte Smelting Co. at tho Thames, at prices varying from £5 to £20 per ton." The length of the proposed roa-1 is about 1^ miles, at a gradient of 1 in 10, an! will serve all the claims on the Tui field, and bj of benefit in opening up a great extent of country adjoining. The estimated cost of construction will be about £2000. Your petitioners respectfully beg that your honourable House will be pleased to vote a sum sufficient to carry out this most necessary work as early as possible. And your petitioners will ever pray.
