OVER THE SUNSHINE OF EXISTENCE HANGS A PLACK CLOUD.

With the uncertainty of life is mingled the dark mystery of death ! While, on the one hand, we catch the welcome sound of a new breath of life that tells of an addition to our •peoies, on tho other we shudder as we hear the ruehirg wines of tho Destrojine Angel! The mighty voice of the Great Influence which rules the Universe has pronounced our fate ; the dread n%fc has gone forth, and every mortal man is doomed to dio ! But, though we cannot prevent, can we postpone death? The question ie momentous, even if it concern the prolongation of life but by a eingle hour, inasmuch as eveiy instinct prompts us to fight the boldest ba'tle wo can for this glorious boon of existence. The promptiegs of instinct are but the spontaneous voices of

nature, and it is our duty to obey. But there still remains the question, can death bo postponed by a single hour ? Yes 5 for the world works in obedience to certain laws; and a study of theee proves that those wbo have the judgment and the will to buckle on the shield, which rature places ready to their grasp, may

ward off the insiduous attacks of tho implacable enemy of life, until, in a ripe old age, the vital faculties gradually decay, and the Augel of Peace glides softly into our presence, leading us, is it were, in a gentle slumber to the xegionß beyond the shadow of the tomb. . The Fell Destroyer makes his firat ap

proaobes in many forms, bnfc none are more favored ly him than that of a deadly foe now preying upon the very vitals of Modern Society. What is this foe ? There are few among "us who have not been or are now to tome extent its victims! Would the reader know if he, too, is under the ban of this frightful scourge? Let him> ask himself whether he experiences any of the following symptoms: — There are pains about the cheat and sides, and eometimes in the back. The mouth has a bad taste, especially in the morning; and there are feelings of dulneßs and drowsiness. The appetite is poor, a soit of sticky slime collects about the teeth, there is a feeling at of-* heavy load on the stomach, and Borne' times a faint, oil-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food does not satisfy. The ey«B. are eunken,,the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets iD, at first dry, but attended in ' the course of a few months with expectoration of a greenish color. The sufferer feels constantly tired, and Bleep 6eems to afford him no rest. Nervousness, irritability, and evil forebodings follow. "When rising sud« denly, there is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in 'the bead. The bowels become ' costive ; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes are tinged with yellow ; the urine is scanty and high colored, depositing a seditoent after standing. There .is frequently a spitting up of the food—at times with a sour taste and at others with a Bweetieh taste. This is often attended with palpitation of the heart or impaired vision, with spots before the eyes, accompanied by great prostration and weakness. > All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-tbird of par population has this disease in some of its varied forms. Medical men have mistakon the nature of the malady. Its true name is Pyspej sia or Indigestion ; for which a certain remedy is to be found in Mother Seigel's Curative^ Syrup—a. medicine which has won * in both hemispheres a confidence founded only on its great virtues. The Syrup can ba obtained from any chemist or medicine vendor, or from the proprietors, A. J. Whits (Limited), 17, Farringdon Road, London, 1.0. :;:- —:- : ■ ■■ WHAT TOE PEOPLE SAY.

" Dear Sir,—Tour medicine must be a great eu'cess. You can quite understand that I have not much opinion of what are called qiidok medicines; which are generally cure all j and worthless, and I Bhdnld bo glad to see them swept out of existence with the ' besom of destruction.' Your preparation, however, isran ■"exception, erd ia undoubtedly useful. Oie ofmy brothers tock it with considerable benefit; sad,, lobe'candid with you, I only laughed at Kirn, and said,'' His fsitb. had healed him.' I ?ae very ill myeelf this year with Cobg€B?ed "Liver, Indigestion, &c, and after much persuasion by my brother, to please Mm,l consented to tty Mother Stigel'a Syrup, and I am bound to Eay, that in spite of my prejudice and unbelief, ;t did me more good than anything else. I am better in health now^ but not quite well, and probably never sbali;be.iagain, as my heart has become weak/although I &m considerably under fifty years of age. I mention my caße to you, thinking it might be of some interest to you. —I remain, faithfully yours, «• W. Sheppard Pole (Ph. C.)." I HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE COMPLAINT. " Baldoclr, Herts, January 4th, 18?3. " GeEtlemeD,-!-Perhaps it would be appropriate to "state, that it gives me great pl.-»Bure to pueh and advance the suits of your medicine*, on account of their worth. I have not hßd or heard a single complaint about your medicine* since I bave sold them, but, on the other hand, unbounded testimony as to their •worth, therefore I can with confidence bring them to the public notice. During 1882 I gold 11$ dozens of the Syrup, and 7£ dozen Pills. This, 1 think, taking into account that the inhabitants are under 2000, and there are two other agents in the town, will give you a good idea as to how it i 8 appreciated here.— Faithfully yours, 11 H. J. Izzard, Pat. Med. Vendor."
