THE LANGUAGE OF THE FUTURE

Pre-eminently tbe language of the (mure will be English. It is a stalwart language, because it is the mother tongue of two stalwart and one loDg iived nation. Its rudimentary idioms were in use at the founding of London, forty years subsequent to the crucifixion of Christ. . Its vitality is in direct ratio with the vitality of its parent nation. The restless enterprise of English exploration has carried the language with its flag around the world. Nelly Bly, speaking her native tongue, can be understood in every port and every station embraced in her flying circumvallation of the globe. The language has broken down the barriers of old-time customs in diplomacy. To American influences is doe the discarding of French at the Samoan conference at Berlin and the adoption, for the first time, of English in international discussion. During the period of Rome's full fruitage of supremacy, before political decay attacked the empire. Latin was the universal language of a limited world. The early English dramatists wrote in a language known to but c,000,000, and Thomas Jefferson's in augural address could have been read but by 16,000,000 people. At the latter period French was the language of from 35,000,000 to 50,000,000 people, Fifty years ago the German lan guage was in as great favor numerically as English. Not so to-day; To German is ac corded a speaking clientele of 60,000,000 jto French,' 45,000,000; to English, 100,000,000, Should ever again the stars have occasion to sing together, it can be well assumed it will be in the language of those early singers.

The strength of fungoid growths is well known. It is on record that they have filled from floor to ceiling old burial vaults, ard actually by sheer force of accumulated growth burst out the stone doors. They have been known to germinate and vigorously grow under gravestones laid horizontally, and lilt the prone slabs of stone up a foot and over, dislodging them from their foundations of solid masonry. In view of these facts it is not matter for wonder that, once started to grow under our asphalt footpaths, they should cause some trouble. In Burnett street, just opposite Mr Boyle's house, a formidable "humplock" has formed in the asphalt pavement, forced un by one of these fungoid growths. The mound is th cc or four inches high, and about eight in diameter, while the top of the •'boil' is cracked and seamed where it has begun to burst. Naturally the question may be asked, how can the fact of the rising being caused by a mustroom be ascertained, would not the sprouting root of a poplar do the same? Well, it would; but not in the sam« way. A poplar Jroot leaves a long track like the burrowing of a mole, but a mushroom growth raises the crust above it in a round knob, and that is so in this case. Besides, a similar "boil" rose last year about a yard away from the one just formed, and when it fairly burst, the nature of the growth was dis closed, but it left an ugly hole in the asphalt, and this one will probably do the same.

THE ASHBTJRTON GFARPIAN, FRIDAY, MARCH 14, 180Q,



TEN MONTHS'SUFFERING IN A HOSPITAL



There is an old saying that physicians are a class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know less. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with these medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own tra deby outsiders who have never studied medicine. 1 hey therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears there own " Hsll Mark"



An eminent physician—Dr Erown-Sequard, of Paris—stages the fact iccurately when he says : " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their ranks." We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship "Concordia," of the Dona dson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India. He had born the hard and exhausting abor, anS had been healthy and strong. On the trip we now name he began for the first time to feel weak and ill. His appetite failed, and h" suffered from drowsiness, heart burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness and irregularity of the bowels. Sometimes when at woikhe had attacks of giddiness, bu supposed it to be caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the 1 head. Later during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours, Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the powders and the mixture. A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and worse. Then came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for the next five months* He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he a^e. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food, operat iug pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an idea that he took enough to do it, But on the other hand pleurisy set in and the doctor, took ninety ounces of matter from his right sides and then told him he was sure to die. Five months more rolled by. and there was another change of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said made him tremble like a leaf on a tree. At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood asserted itself. He refused to stand any more dosing, and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press. He says." " When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to be an angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alivei She told me of a medicine called ' Mother Selgel's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only a few days' time I was out of bed calling for ham and eggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. ! I now feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind," I The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion* We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Stob cross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach hm. 3



HOW PILLS ARE MAD-E h The Custom of taking medicine in the form t ; of pills dates far back in history. The object t . is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed « form disagreeable and nauseous, but very use ful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill -j taking has grown may be imagined, when we J say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 two thousand million) pills are consumed every ye*r In early days pills were made j slowly by hand, as the demand was compara- j tively small. To-day they are produced in ( infinitely greater rapidity by machines especi- r ally contrived for the purpose, and with greater accuracy, too, in the proportions of the various | ingredients employed. No form ot medication Can be better than i. pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. | But right here occurs the difficulty. _ Easy as it t may seem to make a pill, or a million of them there are really very few pills that can be honestly commended for popular use. Most < of them either undershoot or overshoot the } mark. As everybody takes pills of some kind, it may be well to mention what a good, safe, and reliable pill should be. Now, when one feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain j in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure : his bowels are constipated, and his liver uegish. To remedy this unhappy state of things there is nothing like a good cathartic pill. It will act like a charm by stimulating the liver into doing its duty, and ridding the digescive organs of the accumulated poisonous < matter. But the good pill does not gripe and pain us, neither does it make us sick and miserable for a few hours or a whole day. It acts on the entire glandular system at the same time, else the after effects of the pill will be worse than ■ ih» disease itself. The griping caused by most UTi |> the result of irritating drugs which they contain. Such pills are harmful, and should never be used. They sometimes even produce hemorrhoids. Without having any particular desire to praise one pill above another, we may, nevertheless, name Mother Seigel's Pills, manufactured by the well known house of A. J. White, Limited, 35 Farringdon Road, London, and now sold by all chemists and > medicine vendors, as the only one we know of that actually posseses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure opon the brain, correct the liver, and cause the bowels to act with ease and regularity. They never gripe or produce the slightest sickness of the stomach, or any other unpleasant feeling or symptom. Neither do they induce further onstipation, as nearly all other pills do. As further and crowning merit, Mother Seigel's Pills are covered with a tasteless and harmles coating, which causes them to. resemble pearls thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they are effective in curing disease, If you bave a severe cold and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the head, back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brack ish taste in the mouth is caused by foul matte 1 ir/*ie Stomach. A dose of Seigel's Pilis will effect a speedy cure. Oftentimes partially decayed food in the stomach and bowels produces sickness,, nausea, etc. Cleanse the bowels with a dose of these pills, and good health will follow, Unl>ke many kinds of pills, they do not make you feel worse before you are better. They are, without doubt, the best family physic ever discovered. They remove air obstruction to the natural functions in either X withoutany unpleasant effects. It should be explained that the most remark able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease ot the blood* Indigestion, constipa tion, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested focd to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism, Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then emoves from the system the poison already there. It is not a cure-all. It does its wonderful work entirely by its mysterious , action upon the digestive organs. But when j were member that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseases thai; appear to be so different in their nature.
