MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

IT WAS THE GOVERNOR.

("Auckland Bell.") It la very frequently that we hear of distinguished personages being mistaken for ordinary clttzans, and the mistake m some instances Is made under such circum stances that the person making it is subjected -to. a considerable amount of chaff for a long time afterwards. Anothez case of mistaken Identity has beon brought to light as having occurred In our own city In fact, afc the Free Public Library Building. His Excellenoy the Governor on Tuesday afternoon resolved on taking a stroll down to the Art Gallery and inspect some of the pictures. He was soon m the corridor leading to the Gallery, and waß about to open the door, when th 9 caretaker observed : "Oloaedap, eir, no admittance." "Bat I want to view the pictures." " Sorry I can't accede to your request. The Mayor has luatr acted me not to allow a solitary boql to eater." "Batr- 1 "Kb no use, I—" «• But," replied His Exce'lency, "I'm the Governor;" " The caretaker collapaed, and baan't slept a wink since.

WHO IS MOTHE SEIGEL.

She is a ladyj who by the merest accident has made a most valuable discovery, and she ! is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the country, and averybody is talking about her and asking. WHAT IS MOTHER SF.IGEL'S REPUTATION? And .she. tells them to read the thousands ot ttere, something l'ke the following from Mr Perkins :—

A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL.

"Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Jan. 2, 1885. " Your medicine must be the most wonder ful discovery, for during my experience of more than twenty years. I nev^r knew any proprietary or patent medicine m such universal favour and demand. It is simply extraordinary, and if I were to send you an account of every statement made to me m its favour, you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signed) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people asK— WHAT MOTHER SEIGEL DO -GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. --" 50. Bloomfteld road, Plnr&stejid, °' "Jan. 7, 1885. " I find tae sale of your medicines increases every year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady that attended the Female Hospital m Soho-square for some manths, with pains m back and side, and bilious, and could tike no food, but got no benefit from any of the medicines they gave her. Before she had taken, all the contents of one bottle of your syrup she felt relief, and is now quite well. - (Signed) "\V. K. Bakex." THE EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS. "M.dical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5, 1885. "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of Seigers Syrup. There is a case of a young married lady m Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asthma for* a long period, who had consulted some of the best physicians of the day, but without deriving any benefit. She was daily getting worse, but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seigel's syrup. She procured a bottle, and the effect was marvellous_i she rap'dly improved, and now she is as strong an 3 nealthy as ever she has been. (Sighed) "H. Lloyd-Jones." WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL GOOD FOR? POES NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES THB LIVING. Mr J. W. Savill. of Dunmow, Essex, •writes,— September, 1884 :— ' ' I introduced your medicines into Dunmow almost as soon as they were broughtiout m London. I sold m a short time eighteen pounds' worth. I havekmwn many graadr cases of permanent cuxes4 and, as yet,; np case of failuje,,. Not withstanding many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup holds its own ground. I be lieve it a good medicine— it will not restore the ; dead to life, but it appears to save the living from /dying. =- \u25a0\u25a0-

A CASE OF GRAVEL CURED.

. .. .. .".Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. "It has always given me" pleasure to re commend your medicines *.o my customers, and- the results of their use have invariably been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c jnstable of the police force of Tooting, S.W., where I for many years had a shop, was a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of gravel. He was per suaded to try ' Mother Seigel's Syrup. ' He purchased a bottle at my shop, and by the time he had taken half of it he reported him self to me as quite, .cured. The effect was simply miraculous. .(Signed) .':.]. D. Florance." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? Would respectable chemists write like the ollowing if not ? SURGICAI/ OPERATION AVERTED. "Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. Mr EewArd Cobkk. Chemist, writes :— " Your medicine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well established m general favor. I know an old man, over seventy, who some three or four years ago was advised x.o submit to the operation for stone. He certainly was suffering from some distressing symptoms, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about fairly well, and, having taken three or four 2s 6d bott es, he was completely cured- He is .still about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptqpis. of the old trouble come on, he- takes a few doses of the Syrup, aad all is well again." WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUI MOTHER SEIGEL. AX EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS. C. ~" Cosham, Hants, Jan. 2, 1885. "My customers, over a wide country dis trict, are not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials to send; but verbal admiration of your medicine is m the ascend ant, and my experience of forty years assures me that no other, preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity, and so firmly main tains its reputation as Mother Seigel's Syrup. - Signed) M THOMAS H.

We have been a Firm of Antlytloal Chemists for many, many years and have m the long course of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on scientific formula and abaolnte oare and preolsioif* In manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advanoe of any other Pharmaoeuti- oal Preparations of the day.

We have the pleßousr to strte that we* have sold 28,089 Vials of D» Haydook's New Liver Pilk. The reason of this de. mand Is because we find m Haydook' New Uvei Pills a wonderful and extra ordinary oomblDation of concentrated medlolne. The Victories of Science— Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system of the globe, an& made mankind wiser and bet- ter. So, although there are countless Pills nsed for diseases and elahning much as to their merit, tht remarkable dis- covery of Dr Haydook has eolipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. TheDooton, whose vast doses of font oi five pills enfeeble the stomaoh and paralyse the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with on<) ov two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pills. One or two of Dr Hay- dook's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfect order creates an appetite, and senders the spirit light and buoyant. If the Liver is affeoted its func- tions are restored, and if the Nervous System is enfeebled, it is hulgorated and sustained. TRANSLATION. Aykab, Provisoe of Bnrmah, 8.1.
