A DOG STORY.

» Two of three gentlemen were enjoying a social ' glass In an hotel parlor here lately, when one of them remarked that if a dig which another of ihe party owned were his, be would poison it. This brought tha owner to the front, and he •aid his dog could do anything but speak, as It was a retriever, and very olever and obedient. To test the dog's oleverne*B, \ the other threw a bank note under the sofa, and told tbe dog to go for It, but the dog took no notioi cf the request Botll bis master, who was leaving tbe room, looked at him, and by sign told the dof *° B** t Qe DOte lx * n l°> tMn S Dash was under the sofa aud had the not?, with whloh he tried to etoapa after his master. In this he was frustrated, at the owner of the note o'osed the door, but coald not get the dog to refand the money, until bis master was re adrol t >d and toU him to drop it. Tbe owner of the note foillihly pltehtd it under the «of« again, and told the dog to fetoh i>, bo', without getting any response from Dish, who wa* quietly watching his owner's fro*, which at last gave him tbe sign he wanted, and m an Instant ht had that Dot? again and Its owner was trying O get it from him. Dash not relishing this, began to swallow the note, and lift owner's faoa was a study as he saw the dog putting the money where it oould not be withdrawn at oall. It was only on Dish's owner, who' saw the neoeis ty for prompt measures* grasping the dog's throat tightly and half choking him that Daih ooughed it up and allowed his owner to rftgala posiessioo of the money wbioh he «U but lost through Ms own folly. It looked at one time as though nothing bat m emetio or a surgical and fatal operation Oo the dog would bring the note to light again,— 11 Wangtnnl Herald."

why am 1 so Miserable ? So tr«ak and languid ? Why such heart- burns and pains m the stomach, such acidity, R"d such an unpleasant taste m the mouth i Why at times such a gnawing appetite, and thenagaia such disrelish foi food? Why is tbe mind so frequently irritable, desponding, melancholy and dejected ? Why does one often feel under the ' apprehension of some imaginary danger, and start at any unex- pected noise, becoming agitated as though some great calamity was impending ? Whit is the meaning of these dull, sick headaches ; these violent palpitations of the heart, this feverish restlessness, these night sweats ; this disturbed and dreamy sleep, which brings no refreshing rest, but enly moanings and mutterings, and '.he harrors of the nightmare ? The answer is : These are but the symptoms of Indigestion or Dyspepsia— the beginning and the forerunner of almost every other hutsan disease. Indigestion is a weakness or want of power of the digestive fluids of the stomach to convert the food into healthy matter for the proper nourishment of the body. It is caused most frequently by the irregulari'y of diet, or improper food, want of heaithy exercise and pure outdoor air. It may be induced by mental distress — the ' sbo kof some great calamity. It may be, and often is, aggravated and intensified, if not orieinally brought on, by exhaustion from intense mental application, of physical over- work, domes'ic troubles, anxiety m business, Such a medicine is hippily at hand. Never m the history of medical discoveries, evi- denced by a dozen years' thorough test, has there been found a remedy for Indigestion so speedy, so s-tre, and so surprising m its results as Seigel's Curative Syrup, but to-day it is a standard remedy fcr that almost universal affliction m «. very civilised country m Europe, Asia, Africa and, America. Public testimonials and private letters from military officers, bankers, merchants, ship captains, mechanics, fanners, and their wives and daughters, alike confirm Its curative powers. NEARLY RAISED HIM FROM THE GRAVE. Swiss Cottage, Walton-on-the-Kaze, August 27th, 18S6. A. J. White, Limited. Dear Sirs, — If a testimonial is of any use to you lespecting the remarkable cure I have derived by taking your "Seurel's Syrup," you are at liberty to make any public use of this you may deem best. For upwards of twelve years I have suffered from extreme Nervous Debility and Gast.ic Catarrh which reduced me so that I was totally unable to do any business, and caused great prostration and weakness. About three years ago I had the advice of several members of the medical faculty, and under their treatment derived little or no good. Being m town some ten months ago, I was advised to try your Curativ Sy up, and purchased a bottle. I had not taken many doses before I began to feel a fresh man. I could walk with ense, while before I had hard work to carry one leg before the other. My strengih gradually increased and my eyesight got better, which before 1 frequently lost, owing to the malady arising from a sluggish live , often m bed for several days with piles, and could haid'y move. lam thankful to you and to God for nearly rais : ng me fr»m the grave, for it was nothing but your Seigels . v yrup that has reftorcd me to robust health.— Yours faith- fuily, A.

Wnite, Limited. 1/eer Sir,— l hope that your Seigcl'« Syrup and V'llls may get the sale they so well deserve. I had a very delicate child, a boy now over nine years, but being averse to eatin? any kind of vegetable or food from his bir.'h, I began giving him Mother Seigel's r urat ivc Syrup *nd alter a few weeks he recovered so «»s to be able to consume as much food as other boys of his age, and to the great astonishment of the neighbor!, he is lively, getting into flesh, and thiivine as well as boys of his age do. We give aU the credit of his recovery to Seigel's iyrup,— Youw faithfully, ' b & Maxwzll,
