LIFE IN DAKOTA

A Scottish lady who left Edinburgh for Dakota m December, writing to her rela tives on New Year's Day, Bayß.*— fl I arrived here on the 20 ,h m a awful bltzztrd. which began shortly after we left Milwaukee. The cold was bo intense that the carriage windows were fr< zan ; over, and nothing could be seen of the j surrounding country. At one station I got out to get some b»">t coffee ; but cold and hungry as 1 was, I preferred to suffer theße rather than face the wind for a couple of hundred yards. We landed here In such a storm as you oould not pic ture to yourself, try ever so bard. The ntxt train that came was (mowed op, so It is a good thing we got m m tine. It has been a constant blizzird ever since.. We are snowed up wltb. six feet of snow m front and eight at the back, and m \u25a0ome places ten. How would yon lik.9 that ? We have to make a hole through the heap eaoh time wa want to get oat The roof *nd walls of our bedroom are covered every morning with a sheet of ice and I sweep two dustpanfuls of snow off toe walls of eaoh rcom every morning. When I get op m the morning my feet stick to the quilt lying above ve — m fee everything ons touches sticks to one's hands. The waterpiil freezes solid. Jnss farcy having half an ox In the house with* oat being able to get a bit of it ; it cannot be oat even with a daw. It is simply a •olid pieoe of foe. The summer kitchen had four feet of anow this morning which bad blown through the orevloes. It is so fine that it sifts through everything.

A REMARKABLE CASE.

Under the above heading the " Doncaster Reporter " of July 6th, rBB7, pub ishes the following m its editorial columns : — Our readers may recall the circumstance of a young clerk named Arthur Richold, falling insensible on tteWheatley Lane m this town some time ago, and being p : ckcJ up, as he continued perfectly he'pless, and taken m a cab by two gentlemen to the office of F. W. Fisher, Esq., the solicitor who employed him. On restoring him lo consciousness it was ascertained that he was afflicted with what seemed to be an incurable disease. When he was able to speak he said he had b?en to h ; s dinner and was on his way back to bis work, when suddenly his head was m a whirl and he fell m the street like a man who :s knocked down. On coming to his sentes m the solicitor's office he thought what this might mean, and feared he was going to have a fit of il'ne=s, which we all know is a very dread ful thing for a poor man with a family to care for. With this m his mind he at once sought the . best medical advice, telling the doctors how h.' had been attacked. They questioned him, and found that his present malady was exhaustion of the nervous system resulting from general debility, indigestion, and dys pepsia of a chronic nature. This m turn had been caused by conßnement to his desk and grief at the loss of dear friends by death. The coming on of this strange disease, as described by Mr Richold, must be of interest both to sick and well. He had noticed for several years previously, m fact, that his eyes and face began to have a yellow look ; there was a. sticky and unpleasant slime on the gums and teeth m the morning ; the tongue coated ; and the bowe"s so bound and costive that it induced that most painful and troublesome ailment — the piles. [He says there w s some paina m the sides and ba :k and a sense of ful ness on the right side, as though the liver were enlarging, which proved to be the terrible fact. The secretions from the kidneys would be scanty and high-colored, with a kind of gritty cr sandy deposit after standing. These things had troubled Mr Richold a long time, and after his fall m the street he clearly perceived that the £t of giddiness was nothing more than a sign of the steady and deadly advance of the complaint, which began m Indigestion and dyspepsia. His story of how he went from one physician to another m search of a cure that his wife and little ones might not come to want is very pathetic and touching. Finally he became too ill to keep his situation and had to give it up. This was a sad calamity. He was appalled to think how he should be able to live. But God raised up friends who helped to keep the wolf from the door. He then went to the seaside at Walton-on-the-Naze, but neither the change, nor the physicians who treated him there, did any good. .All being without avail he visited London, with a sort of vague hope that some advan'age miglr happen to him m the metropolis. This was m October, ISSS How wonderful, indeed, are the ways of Providence, which dashes down our highest hopes and' then helps us when we least expect it- While m London he stated his condition to a friend, who strongly advised him to try a medicine which he called Mother SeigeVs Curative Syrup, saying it was genuine and honest, and often cured when everything else failed. He bought a bottle of the chemist m Pimlico, and began using it according to the directions. He did this without faith or hope, and the public may, therefore, judge of his surprise and pleasure when after taking a few doses he felt great relief. He could eat better ; his food digressed him less ; the symptoms we have named abated ; the dark spots which had floated before his eyes like smuts of soot, gradually disappeared, and his strength increased . Before this time his knees would knock together whenever he tried to walk; So encouraged was he now that he kept on using Mother SeigeVs Curative Sytup until it ended m completely curing him. In speaking of his wonderful recovery Mr Richold says it made him think of poor Robinson Crusoe, and his deliverance from captivity on his island m the sea ; and added, " But for Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup the grass would now be growing over my grave." Our readers can rest assured of the strict truth of all the statements m this most re markable case, as Mr J< ichoJd (now residing at Swiss cottage, Walton-on-the-Naze) belongs to one of the oldest and most respected families m the beautiful village of Long Melford, Suffolk, and his personal character is attested by so high an authority as the Rev C. J. Martyn, rector of that parish, besides other excellent names. We have deemed the case of such importance to the public as to justify us m giving this short account of it m our plumns,

All the good qualities oi the metals seem to be oontained m aluminium, and engineering will be amazingly benefited if it oan be cheaply produced. It is only one-third eb heavy as iron and yet very tough. It has a very low meltiDg point, and hence oan be oatt with great facility, and, beside, it works well noder the hammer. The charges whioh would be permitted m the construction of engines, boilers, hulls, etc,, by the use of a metal only one-third as heavy as iron can be xeadily imagined. The solution of aerial navigation, if ever reached, will probably depend upon the use of this metal.

At chemists and druggists. 1 The best medicine is Sander and Sons Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminent power- . iul effects m coughs, colds, influenza, eto. — (he relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty (he King of Italy and medical syndicates all over the globe are its patrons. Bead the official reports that aooompany eaoh bottle. We have no occasion to offer rewards m proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medical olinics m& univer- sities, the officicial communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne ; the diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdam — all these are authentic docu- ments, and, as such, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated at the clinio of Schultz, M.D., Pro- fessor, etc.—" C^B., 24 years old ; conges- tional abscess on the thigh. Incisions is made m two places. Although Lister's dressing was applied, the secretion became, two days later, very copious, and had adopted a foetid, decomposed character. The temperature rose anormoasly. In consequence the dressing was remoned, and on its place were made during the day-time repeated irrigations with Eucalypti Extract. The offensive foeter dis- appeared VBry soon, the fever abated within a few days, and the patient recovered after the lapse of several weeks. In this instance we must not lose sight of the fact that the latter treatment saved the patient's life.' — (Advt.) 3
