THE ENGINES OF SHIPS AND OF MEN.

In the month of March, the great and beautiful steamship " City of Parii," when on her voyage from New York to Liverpool, met with an accident by whioh her engines were completely diiabled, leaving her helpleii on the tea. She sarried a large number of passengers, and great anxiety wai felt concerning her in Europe and America. How she wat finally towed into Queen stand Harbour will be remembered by the public " Well, what of it t" you Hay. " They afttrwarde found out how it happened, and repaired the engines, and no livei were loft."

Very true, but wait a moment. Because you never go to tea do you think the sudden destruction of a ship's engine hss no lesson for you ? How shortsighted men are! Did you ever lie on your bod at home, "r on a oot in a hospital, helpless as a log ? What ailed youf Some disease: What is disease? It is, an aooident to your vital machinery. What do the doctors try to do for you P To " cure ". you. Tea, of coar*e. Suppose we say " repair " yoa ; it comes to the same thing, for we are kept alive and going by certain organs or engines inside the body 1 When they are out of order and work badly, we are ill; when, they stop, we die. Do you see the force of tfoe illustration t Sometimes a man's machinery is aever right from the hour of his birth. Here is a short story one man tells about himieif which will show what we mean. He says : " One ship it never weak because another is, but a baby may be weak because its parents were, or some, other of its ancestors. It is spoken of in the family that when I was an infant, I did nothing but sleep. Now, a heathly infant ought to sleep most of its time, but not all the time. He should laugh, play, cry, kick, and take notice of things. My mother was bothered about it, and saw the dooter, who said it was owing to the sluggish state of my liver. Nevertheless, I lived and grew up as millions of children do. But inherited disease makes its mark sooner or later aooording to circumstances. " About five years ago I began to feel bad. I didn't know what was the matter with me. I had a bid; taste in my mouth, a slimy tongue, and felt languid and tired, and had no ambition for work. My appetite failed, and when I did eat, under a sort of compulsion, I had great pain after it. I went on in this way until the spring of 1888, when I had a very severe attack and was treated in Bartholomew's Hospital for some time; But I oame out still .weak, and a little later on I was so bad I broke down completely and took to my bed. Matters now looked very serious forme. " The first doctor who came to see me waß not able to give any relief, and my people fetched another, as ncr condition had SB COUB AXiABWN*. I got worse, and was in great agony. I had pains all over me, but more particularly in the bowels, where the pain was intense. The bowels were stopped or constipated, and thedootor seemed puzzled. One day he said, ' I oannot account *ob TOX7B condition.' I now began to think what was best to be done. Yet what could IdoP ' 11 1 had heard of a medicine called Mother Siegel's Ourative Syruo, whioh was said to be a most remarkable cure for deep-seated and chronic complaints where all other remedies were unavailing, but I had never tried it, and why should I believe in it t Yet how strangely we are sometimes led into paths we have never travelled before! " About this time I picked up a newspaper, and read of a case similar to my own that had been cured —so the writer said —by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I decided to risk it, and sent over to Mr Dyer, the chemist, in Aore Lane, West Brixton, and got a bottl*, and IN TBN MINUTES AFTBR TAKING TKB VIBSX DOSK I TBLT BBLIBF. "In my exo*temeut and satisfaction I de> clared, This is thb bi»ht thin* ! '. " After taking six bottles I found myself 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 eure as all the more wonderful owing to my having suffered with liver complaint from my infanoy. I will gladly answer any inquiries about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and what it did for me." (Signed) W. Gtoldspink, 126, Aore Lane, Brixton, and 19, Taohbrook Street, Pimlieo. Mr Groldspink is a pork butcher, and is well known and highly respected In ad* ditioc to his inherited weakness of the liver he suffered from doep>aeated indigestion and dyspepsia, with an acute attack of oonstipatioD, a dangerous and often fatal complication. For this almost universal malady—often mistaken for other diseases—Seigel's Syrup is the only remedy to be relied upon.
