THE ENGINES OF SHIPS AND OF MEN.

In the month of March, the great and beautiful steamship “ City of Paris.” when on her voyage from New York to Liverpool, met with an accident by which her engine* were completely disabled, leaving her helpless on the ' She v.med a large number of passengers, and great anxiety was felt concerning her in Eoropa <>.nd America. Row she was finally cowed into Q ueomdaud Harbour will be remembered bv ms public. "Wall,-what of it?" you nay, "They aft rwards found oat how it happened, &.nd r-jpp.irrd the engines, and no lives Wire loet.”

Very true, but wait a moment, Beoiuss you never go to sea do you think the sudden destruction of a ship’s engine has no lesson foe you ? Hsw shortsighted xatn ore! Did you ever lie oa your bed at home, or on & pot in a hospital, helpless at a log? What ailed you? Some disease. Wint is disease ? It is an accident to your vital machinery. What do the doctors try eo do for you P To cure ’’ you. Yes, of course. Suppose we soy “ repair ” you ; :t comes to the suma thing,for we are kept alive and going by certain organs or engines inside the bod; I When the? are out of order aud work badly, we are ill; whou they stop, wc dis. Do you s&9 the force of the illustration ? Sometimes a man’s machinery is nevsr right from the hour of his birta. Her* it i> short story one man tell ; about himself winch will show what wo mean. He tays “ One ship is never weak because another is, but a baby may ba weak because its parents were, or some other of its ancestors It is spoken of in the family tbit when I was on infant, I did nothing but sleep. Now, a hea'hly infunt ought to sleep most of its time, but not all the time. Be should laugh, play, cry, tick, and take notice of things. My mother w*e bothered about it, and taw the dooter, who said it was owing to the sluggish slats of my liver. Nevertheless, 1 lived and grew up as millions of children do. But inherited disease makes its mark sooner or later according to circumstances. - “ About five years ago I began to feel bad. I didn’t know what wts the matter wish mo. I had a bid taste in my moutb, a slimy tongue, aud felt languid and tired, end had no ambition for work. My appetite failed, and when Idid eat, under a sort of com. pulsion, 1 had great pain after it. 1 went on in this way until the spring of 1888, when I had a vor? severe attack and wan treat ad in Bartholomew’s Hospital for some time. But 1 came out still weak, and a little later on 1 was so bad I broke down complete y and took to my bed. Matters now looked very serious for me. v 11 The first doctor who camo to see rao was not able to give any relief, and my people fetched'another, as MV condition had bb COMB AIiAEMING. 1 gob worse, and woe io great agony. 1 had pains all over me, but more particularly in the bowels, where the pain was intense. The bowels were stopped or constipated, and the doctor teemed puzzled. One day he said, ‘I oanhot account bob YOUa CONDITION,’ I now began to think what was best to be done. Yet what ojuld I do?

“ I had heard of & medicine called Mother Siegel’s Curative Hyrun, which eras said <o be a most remarkable cure for deep-seated and chronio complaints where all other remedies were unavailing, ,but I had never tried it, and why should I believe in it ? Yet how strangely we are sometimes led into paths we have never travelled before ! “ About this time I pick* d up a newspaper, and read of a esse similar to my own that had been cured —so the writer said —by Mother Seigel’s Syrup. I decided !o risk it. and sent over to Mr Dyer, the chemist, in Acre Lane, West BMx or, and dot a bottl--, and IN TBS MINUTBB AFTER TAKING THE FIRST DOSB I FBLT BELIEF. In my exo tome't and I declared, This is thb bight thing! i " After taking six bottles I found myaolf in perfect health. lama new man. I never was in better health in my life, and all the members of my family think of my eura as all the more wonderful owing to my having suffered with liver complaint from my infancy. I will gladly answer any irquiries about Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and what it did for me.” (Signed) W. Golnspink, 126, Acre Lane, Brixton, and 19, Taohbrook Street, Pimlico. Mr Q-oldspink is a pork butcher, a*ni i« well known and highly respected In addition to hirinherited weakness of the liver he suffered from deep-seated indigestion and oyepspsis, with aa acute attecK of constipation, a dangerous and often fat'd compile dion. For this almost universalmr-iady—oftrn mistaken for other diseases—Seigei’s Syrup is StLe only remedy to be relied upon.
