The Engines of Ships and of Men.

In the month of March the great and beautiful steamship "City of Paris," while on her voyage from New York to Liverpool, met with r..1 accident by which her engines we-o completely disabled, leaving het helpless on the sea. She carried a large number of passengers and neat anxiety was felt concerning her iu Europe and America. How she was finally towed into Queens town harbor will bd remembered by the public "Well, what of it ?" you gay. "They afterwards found out how it happened, and repaired the engines, and no lives were lost*" Very true, but wait a moment, lieeauM you never go to sea, do you think the snclden destruction of a ship's engine has no lesson for }i»u? Bow shortsighted men are Did you ever lie on your bed at home, or on a cot in the hospital, helpless as a log? What ailed you ? Some disease. What is disease ? It is an accident to your yital machinery, What do the doctors try to do for you? To "'cure you. Yea, of course. Suppose we say "repair you ;it comes to the same thinp, for we kept alive and going by certain organs or engines inside the body. When they are out of order and work badly, we are ill j when they stop,_ we die. Do you 860 *l"* force of the illustration ? Sometimes a .man's machinery is never right from the hour of his birth. Here is a shore story one man tells about himself which will show what we mean. He says: "Ona. ship ia never weak because another ia, 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 healthy infant ought to sleep, most of the time, but not all the time.

Never* fcheless, I lived and grew >p as millions of children do. But inherited disease makes its mark-sooner or later according |0 circumstances. " About live years ago 1 began to feel bad. I didn't know what was the matter with me. I had a bad taste in my month, a slimy tongue, and felt languid and tired, and had no ambition for work My appetite fai ed, 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, *hen I had a very severe attack, and was treated in Bartholomews Hospital. for some time. But I came out still weak, and a little later on I was so bad I broke down completely, and took to my bed. Matters now looked yery serious for me. 11 The first doctor who came to see me was not able to give auy relief, and my people fetched another, as my condition had, become alarming- I got worse, and weis in great a?ony. I had. pains all 07er me, but more particularly in the bowels, where the pain, was intense. The bowels \ were stopped or constipated, and the doctor seemed puzzled. .One day he ' I cannot account for your conditimi.' I now began to tliink what was best to be done. Yet what could Ido ? "1 had heard of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, which was said to be a most remarkable cure for deep-seated and chronic complaints where all other medicines were unavailing, but I had never tried it, and why should 1 believe in it ? Yet how strangely we are sometimes led into paths we have never travelled before! " About *his time 1 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. 1 decide** to risk it, and sent over to Mr Dyer, in Acre Lane, West Brixton, and get a bottle, and in ten minutes after taking the first dose 1 felt relief. . " In my-excitement and satisfaction 1 declared. This is the rigfct thing t I " After takine six bottles I found myselt in perfect health. lam a new man. I never was in better health in my Jife, and all' the- members of my family think of my cure as all the more wonderful owing to-my having suffered with liver, complaint from my infancy. i will gladly answer any inquiries about - Jaathgr Seigel's Syrup* and what it did for meS«- (Signed) W.

Eor this almost universal malady—often mistaken for other diseases — Seigel's Syrup is the only remedy to be relied upon.
