When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a whirling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and docs not circulate properly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, some times in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes swe'etish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease. Towards the*last the patient is unable to j



retain any food whatever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine eases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Scigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable prepara tion sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world,- and by the proprietors, A. J.

I A FTER several years’ trial, this NON-POISONOUS DIPPING FLUID Is now tV universally admitted to be the best ever Introduced. Its great superior!™ over other materials consists in its cheapness, its undoubted efficacy in destroying all ticks, lice, and every insect that infests the .skins of sheep or domestic animals and in its cleanliness, and absolute hsrmlessness to those concerned in Its use’ Being of an oily character, It is highly beneficial to the growth of the Wool which it leaves soft, clean and bright, without robbing it of the yolk—its natural nourish ment—or leaving it harsh and dy, as is the case when alkaline mixtures, such as lime and sulphur, or arsenical prparations are used. It Is entirely without the ruinous effects invariably resulting from the use of such materials. It is not only non-poisonous, but may be used internally for worm in the throat in lambs • it wil also effectually cure foot-rot, and AS A SPECIFIC FOR SCAB IT HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO FaIL. To those who dip in full fleece, this fluid will be found invaluable, for, being of a warm and protecting character, sheep will not catch cold, though dipped in the depth of winter.
