Little of the Qua; Nothing of the Dog. When Rip Van Winkle awoke from his nap in the Catskili Mountains in America, he found himself an old man. His dog dead long ago, ind nothing was left of his gun but the lock and barrel. And whun he went back to the village of Falling Water, where he used to live, nooody recognised him. His wife, believing him dead, had married th innkeeper. Bight enough too, for Ri had lain on the mountain side, soun asleep for twenty years. A long snooze ; bnfc it seems to me I'< rather be asleep half my life at a streto than to stop awake and be miserable Yet here is a woman who sayp "I cai truthfully say that for eighteen years was never free from pain for a sing] day.". Mercy 1 think of that. What wretched way to live! Yet I suppos millions of tolk crawl along.through th world in that style. iNot because the want to. Heavens, no ! But becaus they can't help it. This was he situation, and an army of other woiua (besides crowds of men) can sympathis with her. She says: " For over twenty years was weak and sick. At first I had aba taste in my mouth, poor appetite and an uncomfortable feeling at my chest and sides, and often tried to obtain ease by holding up my sides with my hands. After e«ing I had great pain : it was like a load at my chest, and I could not bear it until I vomited all my food up. 1 would be quite faint from the want of food but ivas afraid to eat. At times 1 had bad attacks of spasms which nearly doubled nwTup, and 1 rambled up and down the house for hours together, for I could not even he down. Of course I lost a deal of sleep, and in a morning was so weak and faint I scarcely knew how lo get out of bed and downstairs. For eighieeen years I was never free from fain for a single day. " 1 saw after doctor, and took a great quantity of medicine without finding any real relief. They would not say what was the cause of my ailment. I was fant wasting away, and did not think I could live much longer, when one day in 1881 my husband heard from Mr Joseph Cooper, of Bourne, of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, which he said had cured him. 'IfI am spared," I said to my husband, * I will try it.' I did so and before I had taken the first bottle I found relief and after taking four bottles more I wasquite well and strong. " That is now ten years ago, and I have been in good health ever since, taking just an occasional dose of the syrup. After my recovery the clergyman said to my husband, ' Your missus pets about very different now to what Bhe used to do,' and he told him that Mother Seigel'B Syrup had wrought the cure. People tell me I look better than I did twenty years ago, and I feel so strong that 1 can now dig potatoes and do the work of anyone, notwithstanding lam 65 years of age. " My husband suffered terribly from rheumatism and flux, and has found wonderful benefit from the same medicine. He says he would haye been in the churchyard long ago but for Mother Seigel's Syrup. For myself 1 can say it saved my life, and I wish others rc know what it has done for me and mine. (Signed). Mrs. Esther Ayb, wife of William Ayr, near Bourne, Lincolnbrief and simple way Mrs Ayr a etory the full details of which would fill » book.' What hopes and {ears! what hours of keen sorrow and deep darkness she must have experienced. indeed.

For her malady—the fearfully common and fatal one, indigestion and dyspepsia—has as many signs and forms as the mini has fancies, or the heavens have clouds. From it, as from sin, rome a thousand pangs and pinii to torment and to crush helpless humanity. Seeing what her great discovery has accomplished in this and multiple* of like cases, bow good a her kind was Mother Seigel! Bip Van Winkle awoke from his nap to find himself old; Mrs Ayr awoke from her long night of illness to find herself yoang again. Is not the moral plain enough for all the suffering millions in JSngland ?
