So said a French marshal in reply to a question by Napoloon. Few in num. bur may be, but enough to keep the English drumbeat following the sun around tho world. Hero is a short story from an old soldier; a little about the Indian. Mutiny, raoro about another mutiny, He says: "In 1854 I onlisted iti the 6th Bejriment Eusileers, and that year went out to China, Three years later, 1857, I went to Bengal, India. I was present at tho eoigo of Lucknow, undor General Uavcluclt, and was wounded there. I was then sent to Cawnpore, during the fearful massacre at that place, We were expased to damp, our clotlms being wet for days together. Here it was that I first began to feel the bad effects of tho climate. In 1875 1

returned homo to my native villago and settled down. Two years afterwards I began to feol languid and tired. 1 lost nil spirit and energy, Everything was a trouble to me, and I became weak bnd low. At firat I had a bad taste in the mouth, no appetite for food, and what I ate gave me pain in the chest and back. I also had a dull heavy pain and weight at my right side and in the hips and K'«s, and a sense of tightness or constriction, as if I was hold orbouud. "After a time my arms, puffed up, and the sinews and muscles of the calves of my legs corded with pain. I could not sleep at night, and for weeks and weoks I got little or no rest. I would dozo for a short time and then wako with pain. Things went on like this month after month. I got weaker and weaker, and had to give up work and engage a man to look after my business. 1 took medicines of various kinds,but obtained little or no relief. I then saw tho club doctor, who gave mo medicines and applications, but 1 found no ease from anything except for a littlo while. After being under this doctor off and on for four years I gave up going to him and went to see a doctor at Bungay, and was under his trealmont for three months, He gave mo medicines and embrocations, and I was rubbed before tho lire for hours together by my wife, but nothing cased me. "The doctor ran up a bill of some five pounds, but at the bad of three months I was worso than ever, and so weak that I had not strength enough to go and see the doctor. Then 1 gave up doctoring in despair, for 1 had lost all faith in physic, and said to my wife,' It is no uso doctoring any more; nothing can be done for me, 1 will let things take their chance.' "Now better, now worse, I continued in this state until March, 1890, when a small book was left at my house, telling of a medicino called Mother Seigel's Syrup, and 1 read of a case like miuo having boen cured by it. Ho I procured a bottle from Mr Edgerley's Stores and began taking it. In three weeks I felt

better; my pains left me, my appetite returned, my food agreed with me, and 1 gradually gained strength. By the time I had taken the third bottlo I was a well man, and never felt better in my life, From that day to this f have never ailed anything, and can do a day's work with auy man, If I feel my sluggishness of the liver, I take a few dusns of the Syrup and know nothing of pain, "After my recovery many of my neighbours asked what had wrought the cure, and I told them Seigel's Syrup had cured me after all the doctors and medicine had failed, [ owe my life to the tnnely use of it, You aro at liberty to publish this statement if you think it may benefit others. 1 will answer inquiries, and I make this solemn declaration, conscientiously behoving tho samo to bo true by virtue of tho provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, J835 (William IV. c, " Doolarcd at Bungay, in tho County of Suffolk, this tenth day of July, 1891, (Signed) Samuel Ban hah.
