We Kivo a most interesting incident, which llustratcs this important truth. The steamsaip "Concordia" of tho Donaldson Lino,.sailed from Glasgow lor Baltimore in 1887, having on board «sa toman a man named Richard Wade f ™»«w. Ho had boon a fireman tor fourteen-ycars on various ships sailin; from Amorica, China and India Ho had borno the hard and exhausting I hour, and hadbe'en. healthy and I str««i! On tho trip wo now name ho llganfethefirsttimetofoelwcakand Ul. iiis appetite failed and ho Buttered from drowsinoas, heartburn, a bad taste ! n th ? , nioutl '. end costivohess and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at work bo had attacks of mddiness buUiippo S edittobecau!ed"by the noat o tho hro-room. .Quite often ho mis sick and felt like vomitin?,'and had 601,10 in tho head, Later during tie passage ho grew w'orso, and whou the ship reached Halifax he was place,-: ii tho Viotoria General Hospital, and the nip sailed away without him. The ouso surgeon pivo him some powders to stop tho.vomitinii, and tho next day he visiting physician pave him a mixture to take every four hours, that in wo days Wade was so much worse that thedoctors stopped both tho powders and the mixture. A month passed, tho poorhteman getting worse and worse. then camo another doctor, who was to be visiting phyMoiai for tho next tivo months. Ho Rave other medicines but not much relief.'. Nearly all tho tune Wade' suffered great torture; ha Rested nothing, throwing npall heato. There was terrible pain in itho bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. Tho patient was now takiiii! a mixture everv four hours, porcders one after each, meal to digest the f-jod, operating pills one evorv night, and temperature pillb two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs,could cure hj, n at all, Diehard had an idea t that he. took enough- to do it," But oh Hie other hand plourisy sot in und the doctors koh ninety ounces of matter from ha right side, and then told him he was suro to die. Five month more rolled by,' and thoro was another chango of visiting physicians. The ■ nß * one g«"o Wade a mixture which ho sMdmaiMim trcmWe like a leaf om

By thiß time a cup of milk would turn sohc on his stomaoh, and lie thero for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wwk in a ihual, fast going to pieces.' Wo will lot him tell tho rest of his experience in the words in which ho communicated ■ to tho press 'Essays. "When I wm In this state lady whom I had never aeon cams to tho hospital and talked with mo. Sho proved to bo an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now bo alive Sho told mo of a medioine callad Mother Buigel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottlo next day. I started with it, without consulting tho doctor, and in only a few %s' timi I'm owl of bed calling forham andeggt for breakfast. Prom that time, keeping on with Mother SoigeVs groat remedy, J'gob well fast,' and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow, now feel aB if a was in another world and have no illnossof any kind." The above facta are calmly and impartially stated, and tho reader may draw his own conclusion. We deem it host to use no names, although. Mr Wade &avo them in his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Stoboross Street, Glasgow where letters will reach him 0 Udiiok,
HOW PILLS ARE MADE
Tho custom of taking medicine in th form of pills dates farbaokin history. The object is to enablo us to swallo easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseus, but vory usoful drugs. To what vast dimeriaiuim pill-taking haa grown may bo Imagined when we say thatinEnglanaalonoabont2,ooo ) ooQ,ooo two thousand million) pilfs aruciinsumed every'yew, In-early days pills wore inado slowly by hand, as tho demandwag comparatively small. To-day thnyare nroduood with infinitely greater rapidit by machine! especially contrived for th purpose, and with greater accuiacy, too in tho proportions of the various ingred ients employed, No form of medication can be bettoi than a pill, provided only it ia intelli«ently prepared. But riajht here ocours the difficulty. Easy as it may seem to mako a pill, or a million of them, there 9 roally very fow pills that orn be onestly commended for popular use Most of thorn either undershoot or over shoot the mark, As everybody ta pilla of Mtno kind, it may be w | mention what a safe aud rol pill should bo, Now, whon one f dull and sleepy, and ha» more or. pain in tho head, aides, aud back, may bo sura his bowols aro const'pa'.e and hu livor To romi dy th unhappy stato of things there is no;hi like a pood cathartic pill. It will act liko a charm by stimulating tho liver into doing its duty, and ridine the diffeslivo organs of the accumulated oisonous mattor
But thegood pill does not ?tipo and pain us. neither Joes it make us Bic and miserable lor a few hours, orawholo day. It acta on tho entire glandular system at the samo tirao, else the after effects of the pill will ho worse than the disease itself. Tho griping caused by moat pills is tho result of irritating drugs which thoy contain. Such pills ire harmful, and should nover bo used. They sometimes oven produeo hemorrhoids Without having any,particular desire to praisß one pill abovo another, we may, nevertheless, name MotherSeigell'sPille, manufactured by tho well-known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35, Famngdon Road, London, and now sold by nil chemists and modicino vendors, as the only one we know of that actually possesses every deiirablo quality, They remove tho pressure upon tho brain, correct the liver, and cause tho bowels to act with oasoand regularity..They icvei gripe or produeo tho slightest sickness of the stomach, ur any other unpleasant Hng or symptom. Heithor do they ther constipation, as nearly all other pills do. Asatnrtherand or ing merit, ( Mother SeigehV-Pills are covered with a ta'stoleis and harmless coating, which causes thorn to rcsomble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasan to the palato as they are effective'in curint! diseases, If you bavo a ws. cold, and arc threatened with a iey'ejr, one or twoin the head, back, andliiiils, and provo doses will break up the'cold with a bnt tho fever, A coated tonguca caused brackish taste in the mouth," y foul matter |in the Btomac A dose of Seisol's Pills will effect
