eighteen months, giving mo tut" little " i'slept only m a broken fashion, and arose m the morning very little the better for having gone to bed. There was often sevsre pain m my head and ever my eyes, and an almost constant sense of sickness. The skin gradually got dry ami yellow, the region of the stomach and bowels telt cold and dead and the natural energy mad warmth appeared to be ebbing out of me like the water out of a river at Jow K"'ln .Tune, 1889, whilst livina at More down, Bournemouth, I had a worse attack than any I had had before. I was taken with a feeling of cramp, as if pins and needles were running into me. all over my body. I could nob move, and had to he helpless m bed. The doctor was sent for, ana attended me every day, but did not seem to know what to make of my case. In fact, he was puzzled, and finally said, 1 don't really know what your complaint " I trembled and shook and felt as if I should fall to pieces. I was first hot and then cold, and so dreadfully nervous I could not bear any one m the room with me, and yet I did not wish them far away m case I should call out for help. Every time one of these spasms came on I said to myself, ' I am sure 1 shall never set up again.' , , '51 took nothing but liquid food; and yet could not retain even that on my stomach. By this time I was nothing but skin and bone. My legs went clammy, as if I had no blood left m me. My memory completely failed. I never ex pected to recover, and that was the opinion of my friends. After they had called to see me they would go away say ins, ' She will never get ' better. My head ached so dreadfully I thought 1 should lose my senses. "I had-riven up all hope, when orie day my friend Mrs West, of Bournemouth, called and asked what I was taking. 1 said, 'Oh, I'm tired of taking things; its no use ; I shall die.' Then she told me she was once ill much as I was, and was cured by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. • Well,' I said, I'll try it if you will send for it.' She did so, and I seemed to feel better on taking the first, dose, and after three days I was able to walk across the room, and by the end of the week I fpant down stairs. Now lam as well as evar- All my nervousness has left me, and I can eat and digest my food without feel ins any distress. '"I want to say finally, that I knew about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and should have tried it years before if certain acquaintances hadn't said, 'Oh don't take it, for it will do you no good. They said that because it was advertised, not because they knew for themselves. It was bad advice for me, and cost me years of torture. From what I have said— which is bub part of my scory—the people may infer what I think of this remedy. I thank God that I did resort to it at last before it was too late. (Signed) Mrs Jane Foster, Darracott Road, Pokesdown, Bournemouth, Hants. March, 1890. It is only necessary to add that the malady from which Mrs Foster suffered was indigestion, dyspepsia, and nervous prostration. Brought on originally by grief and shock at her husband's sudden stnd violet death, her system did not rally until Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup re moved the tcrpor of the digestive organs, jmd thus enriched the blood and fed the nerves. It always has this effect id like ensos. We can only regret that she foolishly procrastinated m the matter ot usinf it. Her statement of facts may be relied upon, as the case has been thoroughly and impartially investigated.

W. T. Kingston, WILLS STREET, NEXT COOKSON'S STABLES, ASHBURTON, HAS had three years' experience wifi Thomas Taibot, M.R.C.V.S., of Scotland Yard' two years with Corueliu, Saunderson, M.U.C.V.S., Clapham Com mon, and ten yearn with George Balls, M.R.C.V.S., Brixton, all of London and lias A&o gained a good reputation m the Colony. Our specialty is well-known to be our ability and knowledge of the horse's foot. In a well ordered shoeing forge the following standard rules will always be observed:— I. A shoe should never be removed withou first cutting off the clinches, because by simply turning back the clinch m drawing the nail a piece of the clinch is often left m the foot, endangering the horse when the new shoe comes to be driven on. 2 The frog and bars require no cutting m a regularly attended foot. And m a healthy 1 foot where there are no symptoms of navicular disorder, the sole should not be cut. 3. The shoe should have a level bearing upon the wall of the foot, aud should not be sprung at the heel, as is too common, thereby acting as a fearful lever upon the tendons 4. The nails should be driven level and uni form, and only on the toe side of the intyde quarter, the toot being thinner upon the inside and the greater weight of the body being sustained there. There is no comparison points of quality between the Rand-made and the machine made shoe. The machine-made shoe is of a coarser material, softer, and is imported, andit should be insisted upon that they be wot used m the colony
