Seven Pounds in One Week.

Not every man who is thin would thank you for iatteivng him. He doesn't want to be fal", and for very good reasoor. Unneces sary fat is % load to carry about; it interferes with a man'a power fo work, shortens his wind, and dulls his wit a.

Vet, on the oiher hand, a certain amount of flesh is needed for health and comfort. For example: A man five feet high should weigh about 120"bs ; and a man five fret fix snohes, 145'bs; and a maa six feet, 178ibs. It is a tegular bscendiDg scale. The in surance companies allow a variation of 7 per cent, above or below it, and beyond those limits charge an extra premium. One shouldn't be much over or under his proper weight if he wants to be sound and hearty — and we all do want that.

Now we will tell how Mr Thomas Crosby, Iwing under weight gained s^ven pounds in a week. He had lost 1 £ stone, which i*s too much off for a man who was never fleshier Ifchaa he naturally ought to be. It was tbia way. He was right enough up to May, 1891. At that time he began to feel ill and out of sorts. He had a nasty taste in his mouth—like rotten eggs, he says —and b. thick, slimy stuff came on his gums and teeth. His appetite failed, and what he did eat was, as you might say, under com pulsion ; and right afterwards he would have great pain in his stomach anl chest. Plainly, something was amiss with him in that region. He was often dizzy, and cold chills ran over him aa thoagh he was threatened with fever. Of coarse we should expect a man who is handled in this way to lose strength. Mr Ciosby lost strength. In fact, he got sa weak &txd nervous that he shook all over, and his hands trembled as if a current of electricity were running through him. To use his own words: "1 rapidly lost flesh, and was 1J stone lighter, and could hardly walk about. Once my parents thought I was dying, and sent in haste for the doctor. I saw two doctors in Epworth and one at Haxey, but they were not able to help me. Our vicar, Key. Mr. Overton, recommended me to the lincoln Infirmary, whew I attended for eight weeks as aa out door patient, without benefit," " Soon afterwards Mr Sharp, a chemist, at Epworth, spoke to me of the virtues of a medicine known as Mother Seigel's Curative iSyrup. Being interested in what he said, I left off trying other things and began taking this Syrup In a few days I felt better, and presently I gained seven pounds in a week. At that rate I soon got back to my work, and have had the best of health ever since. I tsll these facts to everybody, and am per fectly willing they should be published. Yours truly (Signed), Tom Crosby, Ferry Boad, Epworth, via Doncaster, December 23rd, 1892."

After reading Mr Crosby's story we scarcely need to ask why he lost flesh. The minute he stopped eating aad digesting his usual allowance of food he begjm to fall away. Trees, they say, grow as much from the air by means of their leaves, as they do from the soil. But mea don't. They've gob to beT>uilfc up through their stomachs. la digestion and dyspepsia, (Mr Crosby's com plaint) stops this process and poisons those who have it, besides. That accounts for all the painful and dangerous symptoms our friend speaks of. The doctors do what they can, but, unluckily, they don't possess the medicine that goes to the bottom of this disease and cures it. The romedy is Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and nothing else, so far as we know. It restores digestion, and digestion covers the bone 3 with fat enough for healthaad goad looks.

BANKING.

Melbourne, July 26 Sir Graham Berry was examined be fore the Banking Commission. He warnaiy favored a State bank, making a note issue legal tender, which would greatly relieve the gold in circulation, and ifc could be kept as reserve. There was no need, however, for a State bank to keep anything like as large reserves as private banks. It should be started on safe lines, and afterwards extended to carrying on thecradit fonder system. This would gieatly assist landholders, j

and increase the productiveness of the

land. He believed had a State bank > been in operation, tha late banking

crisis would to a large extent have been moderated,

NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA. s Read the following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given, above: "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so badly affected that 1 feared even to go fn>m one room to another, on account of the strange objects that appeared to flit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. 1 took liis advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. "Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations, J might say that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best healwi-restorer that has ever been offered to the suffering masses."
