WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US ? Like a thief at night it steals in upon us,un awares. Many persons have pains about the chest and sides, and' sometimes in the back. They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a had taste, especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. _ The appetite is poor. ■ There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in— at first dry, but after a few months is attended with a greenish colored expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and nas evil fore’ r odii gs. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels becon e cos tive ; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and' sometimes with a sweetish taste;' this is f. equen ly attended with palpita tion of the heart; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. lt_ is thought bat nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been, found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated



t for a liver ■ cortrplaint, others for kidney d ; sease, etc., etc., but none of the various, kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as t* act harmoniously upon each one of these organs, and upon the stomach as well; for in Dyspepsia (for this is |really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and|require a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. Seigel’s Curative t-yrup acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost immediate relief. The following letters from Chemists of standing in the community where-they live show in what estimation the article is held. Wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser and Co.’s IV ew Zealand Drug Co.

Dear Friends —We have so me hesita tion in addressing you in the manner fol lowing, but hope that it will not be looked at in any invidious light, when we state that it is only our regard for your health that causes us to do it. We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years, and have in the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and abaolnte care and precision in manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far in advance of any other Pharmaceuti cal Preparations of the day. How suc cessful we have been iu this, is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydock a New Liver Pill, We have the pleasure to state that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr flaydock’s New Liver Pills. The reason of this de mand is because we find in Hay dock’s New Liver Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medicine. The Victories of Science— Telegraphs, Steam and Printing —revolutionised the whole system of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet ter. So, although there are countless Pills used for diseases and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis covery of Dr Haydock has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys tem. The Doctors, whose vast doses of fonr ot five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite wivb one or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay di ok’> New Liver Pills suffices to place . the B omach in perfect order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affected its func tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is .invigorated and \ sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Province of Burmah, 8.1.

Please send at once, a below, your Pills Mbs Sabah Manners, Carmi, Illinois, TJ.S. Wo would gno you if we were to go on with them as we very well could do, but the above must suffice.

This preparation Is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing Vet discovered for eradiotating tick, scab or Hoe on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock By its use the farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of jc per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts In Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pro paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purge of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener n Europe, America, and the British possessions In all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of gronnd and will effectually prevent blight and exclude: all other garden pests. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivaUed specific. Its use wiH speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in fore' and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose slmpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also bo used In dry state for the destruction of rata and mice. A little sprinkled on a shoe of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form and s Si therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and 00., London, the silver medal at the .nteroolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government offioia and all the elite of the faculty in Europe.
