OVER THE SUNSHINE OF EXISTENCE HANGS A BLACK CLOUD.

With the uncertainty of life is mingled the ' flarkimystery o; death ! While, on the one band, we catch the welcome sound of a new breath of life that fells of an addition to our species^ on the other we shudderas we hear i the rushing wings of the Destroying Angel! The mighty voice' of the Great Inflnence j which rules the Universe has pronounced our fate ;the dread fiat has gone forth, and every mortal man is doomed to die! But, though we cannot prevent, can we postpone death ? The question is momentous, even if it concern the* prolongation of lifebut by a single hour, inasmuch, bs . every instinct prompts us to fight the boldest ba tie wocan for this glorious boon of existence. The prompt ings_ of instinct are but the spontaneous voices of /nature, and it is onr duty to obey. But there ■till remains the question, can death be postponed by- a single hour ? Yes; .for the world works" in obedience to certain laws 5 and a study of these proves that-those who hare the judgment and the will to buckle on the shield, which ratare places ready to tbeir grasp, may ward off the insiduous attacks of the implacable enemy of life, until, in a ripe old age, the vital faculties gradually decay, and the Angel of Peace glides softly into our presence, leading us, as it were, in a gentle slumber to the regions bejond the shadow of the tomb. i The. Fell Destroyer makes his firot ap proaohes in many forms, but none are more favored by'him than that of a deadly foe now prejing upon the very vitals of Modern Society. What is this foe ? There are few among as who have not been or are now to tome extent its victims. Would the reader know if he;, too, » under the ban of this frightful - scourge ? Let him ask himself whether he experiences any of the following symptoms: —. There are pßins about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back; The.mouth has • bad taste, especially in the morning; and there are feelings of dulneso and drowsiness; The-appetite is poor, a sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth, there is a feeling as of, a heavy load on the stomach, .and sometimes a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach, which' food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the bands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while • cough sets in, at first dry, but attended in the course of a few months with expectoration of a greenish color. The Bufferer feels constantly .tired, and sleep seems to afford him no rest. Nervousnese, irritability, and evil forebodings follow. When rising suddenly, there is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head. The bowels become 1 costive; the skin is dry and hot at times ; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites .of the eyes are tinged «ith yellow; the urine is seamy and high colored, depositing asediKent after standing. There is frequently a ■pitting up of the food—at times with a sour taste'and At others with a sweetish taste. Tkis is often attended with palpitation of the heart or impaired vision, with spots before the eyef,.accompanied by great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in tw present. It is thought that nearly "' iQ of onr population has this d«»' t jj"j r( j ~£.™ p .„ malady. Its true name is ... or Indigestion; for which a certain .^edy is to be found in Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup—a" medicine, which has won in both hemispheres a confidence founded only on its great virtues. The Syrup can be obtained' from- any chemist or medicine vendor, or from the proprietors, A. J. Whitb (Limited), 17, EaTringdon Boad, London, 1.0. L' WHAT TBBPBOPLE SAY. . Yoiiß Phtoabatiok jb an Bxcbpiiok. " ThePharmacy, feegent Boad, 11 Great Yarmouth, Dec. 28th, 1883. 11 Dear Sir,—Your medicine must he a great success. You can quite, .understand that I bave not much opinion of what are called fumek medicine; which are.gcnerally curt all and worthle**, and I should be glad to see them swept but of existence with the.' besom of destruction.' Your preparation, however, it an exception, and is undoubtedly useful. One of my brothers took it with coasiderabla benefit} a»d, to be candid with you, I only

aughed at him, and said, 'His faith had healed him.' I was very, ill myself this year with Gongtsted Liver, Indigestion, &c, and after much persuasion by..my.! brother, to please Mm, I contented to try Mother Stigel's Syrup, and I am bound to say, that in spite of my prejudice and unbelief, it did me more good than anything else. I am better in health now, but not quite well, and probably never shall be again, as my heart bas become weak, although I am considerably under fifty years of age. I mention my case to you, thinking it might be of eoroe interest to you. —I rem*in, faithfully your ■>, " W. Sheppard Pole (Ph. 0.)." I HAVE NOT HEABD A SINGLE COMPLAINT. " Baldock, Herts, January 4th, 1893. " Gentlemen,—Ferhapa it would be appropriate to state, that it gives me great pleosure to push and advance the sales of your medicines, on account of their worth. I bave not had or heard a tingle complaint about your medicines since I bave sold them, but, on the other hand, unbounded testimony as to tbeir worth, therefore I can with confidence brine them to the public notice. During 1882 I sold llf dozens of the Syrup, and 74 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 is appreciated here.— Faithfully yours, 11 H. J. Izzard, Pat. Med. Vendor."
