"Put Your Spare Time in the Bank,"

Did you eeerhear of the Australian Time Bank (limited)'! iVo! Well, then, pu must know about it, and r'njlit Miitiij, too. Mr An>tey describes it. The idea is tlii3. You don|t uac all your time to advantage. Most of it in foot runs to wast 6. You often havo tho time, but no chance to invest it profitably, So the time shdes out ot your possession, jubl as spilled water snaks into tho ground and is lost, Suppose you could put your useless time into a bank, as you do mouey, and draw it out on cheques as you want it, Do yon see? Wouldn't tliat be what the Americans call " A big thing ?" "Bosh I Stuff I Bumbiwl" you say. "It is > might bank time enough to turn us into boys and girls again." Tiue, to vrd might, but as you say, it can't bo done, Yet isn't there a moral in the idea? Open your eyes and read. Tho moral is plain ns the trunk onanclipbant. If you emit yd back your wade time, then don't waste it," Now, isn't a man wasting time when he gets ill? "Oh," you say, "but be can't help it." That's worse nonsense than the Tiiro Bank, Yes, ho can help it, nino times out of ten,

Look for a second, Hero's a man who goes on to talk like this!" There was never, 1 ' he says, " a stronger man in K'jglandtban I was up to December, 1881. lama game, keeper, and about this time we had a deal of trouble with a gang of poachers, I had to keep watch all night long, and was scarcely ever in bed, and ofim slept in my damp clothes. At last we nabbed the poachers and landed them in jail, Shortly alter this I was taken had, At lirst I merely felt tired and dull. Iliad a bad taste in the mouth with slime covering my tonguo and teeth, I could eat little or nothing, but what I did ea> gavo me great pain, I felt as if held in a vico; my breathing was laboured and short, and I spat up a great deal of phlegm, I had a dreadful hacking cough, and cuild get no sleep at night; for after ten minutes' sleep I would wake up and cough for two or three hours at a spell, Night after night I heard the clock strike every hour, " When tho bad attacks came on I felt as

if I should suffocate, and had to be bolstered up in bed, I was coughing and spiiting up matter and phlegm all night long. Fiually I pot so weak I couldn't walk across tho floor, and if I ventutcd out my breathing wns so bad that I had to st:p and rest every few yards. Of course I was obliged to give up my work, end for eight months I did nothing, I was under the doctor all this time, and from tho first he said 'my caso was a bad ono, After a while he said to my wife, ' Your husband is in a consumption and will never gel htter.'

" I thought it was all over with mc, anil every one who saw me thought I would dio. About this time I read in a Liverpool paper of a medicine called Mother heigel's Curative Syrup, and fancied I should lib to try it. So my eon, who lives in Liverpool, cot me two bottles, and before 1 bad used up the second one my cough was all gone, my breathing wos easy and I could eat anything, I soon got back to my work, and have onjoyed good sound health ever since. Whtn I taking tho Syrup I was so low I don't boliev'o I could have held out much longer. I have lived all my life in this district, and in my present house forty years. (Signed) "Thomas Bateman, " Morbury Locks, ■ " Near Wliitchurcb, Salop "March 23rd, 1591."

What arp we to learn 'rom Mr Batoinan's experience J First, that }io had no real consumption. His cough and the spitting up of matter were Bymptoms of a thoroughly disordered condition of the digestive organr, brought on by exposure, losa of rest, and the breaking up of oil bis regular habits of lite, This rcßullcd from his outlying for tho poachers and his foolish slccpini; in his damp clothes, Acute indfrcstinn and dysi followed, of course, with all tho suffering which ho details so well, But was the illness his fault! We do not say it was liis fault, for may be his occupation compel led him to take such risks, but where t||orp is one case pf this kind (hero firo a hundred in which tho evil juight have icon averted, Wo conclude then that prevention is bet? tcr than cure, but when a cure must be sought, the most successful and trustworthy remedy is..Mother Scigel's Syrup, Mr Bateman told John Wilkinson this, anil his account will soon bo printed,.
