AN INSANE ASYLUM ROMANCE

In ft garden of Berlin a canary bird was found bearing on its neck a small note. The address was unusual, 'An den lieben Gott' (To the good Lord). The finder broke the seal and found a sincere message, in accord ance with the direction. It was written by a lady, an inmate of a private lunatic asylum. The unfortunate one, pleading for relief from her sad situation, asked a speedy death. She complained that the misrule and self will of a rule female attendant was the cause of her suffering. All explanations to her relatives were vain, because this attendant attributed her complainings to a diseased mind and punished her for attempting to make kne-wn her situation* The benevolent individnal who found the note determined to investigate the natter. The lady's name was subscribed in full, so that her friends were easily found, She was removed to another institution. In a few months the best wishes of her friends were gratified. She was fully restored.

CHRISTCHURCH CORN EX CHANGE REPORT

The following is the Corn Exohange report * lor week ending Friday, January 31,1890 :— The reports reaching as from country districts ' are hardly so favorable as were anticipated, the weather having had a bad effeot on the oropa in some localities. Cutting is general and threshing oatß has begun,though up to the moment: but few samples have been on offer, As far as can be judged prices must open at a low figure for both wheat and oats, for the latter there is really no apparent market, and the United Kingdom is at present the only visible outlet for our wheat. It is yet too early to write of the barley crop, Few samples of ryegrosß have been offering, farmers being too much engaged otherwise to devote attention to getting the small seeds on to the market.

DRUGGISTS AND MEDICINE VENDORS PROPRIETORS TEN MONTHS' SOBERING IN A HOSPITAL There is an old saying that physicians are a :lass of men who pour drugs, of which they mow little, into bodies of which they know ess. This is both true and untrue at the same ime. There are good and poor lawyers, and jood and poor doctors. The trouble with hese medical gent'emen as a profession is hat they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own rade by outsiders who have never studied nedicine. They therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instate ion unless the teacher bears there own " H<jll £ark" An eminent physician—Dr Brown-Sequard, )f Paris—stages the fact accurately when he lays : " The medical profession are so bound ip in their self-confidence and conceit that hey allow the diamond truths of science to be picked up by persons entirely outside their anks." We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship "Concordia," of, th« Donadson line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. tie had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and Endia. He had born the hard and exhausting labor, and 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 he 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, but supp sed it to ' c caused by the heat of the fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt like vomiting, and had some pain in the 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 month?* He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he ate. 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 ing 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 doctors took ninety ounces of matter from his right side, 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, fas*' going to pieces^ We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press.



HOW PILLS ARE MADiil * The Custom of taking medicine in the form of pills dates far back in history. The object is to enable us to swallow easily in a condensed form disagreeable and nauseous, but very use ful, drugs. To what vast dimensions pill taking has grown may be imagined, when we say that in England alone about 2,000,000,000 two thousand million) pills a*e consumed every yfr In early days pills were made slowly by hand, as the demand was compara tively smalL To-day they are produced in infinitely greater rapidity by machines especi 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 thank pill, provided only it is intelligently prepared. But right here occurs the difficulty. Easy as it 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 onf feels dull and sleepy, and has more or less pain ! in the head, sides, and back, he may be sure : his bowels are constipated, and his liver upgish. 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 digestive 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 the disease itself. The griping caused by most pills is the result of irritating drugs which they I contain. £uch 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 pos:eses every desirable quality. They remove the pressure upon 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 harmless coating, which causes them to resemble pearls, thus rendering them as pleasant to the palate as they a*e effective in curing disease, If you have a severe co^d and are threatened with a fever, with pains in the hea,dj back and limbs, one or two doses will break up the cold, and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a fcraekisli taste in the mouth is caused by foul



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 bean angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alivei She told me of a medicine called * Mother Seigel'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 haye no illness of any kind," 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 h<m, 'Keating's Cough Lozenges, cure Cough Asthma, Bronchitis, Medical testimony states that no other medicine is so effectual in the cure of these dangerous maladies, One Lozenge alone gives ease, one or two at and time ensures rest, For ■ elieving difficulty of breathing they are invaluable, They contain no opium nor any violent drug, Sold by all cbe*mst at is %& and 2s 6d each. 1 Rough en Catabrh.—Corrects offensiy todors at once.
