ZINC.

Sydney, July 15 Mr Potter, of Melb urne, who has been experimenting with Broken Hill sulphides, with a view to extracting zinc, and converting it into a market able product, has been so far successful that a plant capable of treating a hundred tons of crude material daily, i j being erected.

He Invested Only 7s 6d

There ia a man who has spent the pasl twenty-five years of his life exploring for gold and other minerals in Queensland, New South Wales,, Victoria, Tasmania, and New- Zealand. He has no doubt picked up some money, yet he says that the investment of 7s 6d brought him in bigger returns than any other he ever made. Yet, hold on a minute. Don't let us jump to the conclusion thofc we can all get rich out of the proseeds of 7s 6d till we hear further from this financier. He has a humorous way of patting a serious thing, for which we should like him ail the more. Some folk have no idea that sound sense and genuine fun are twin brothers, but they are all the same: Our friend's name ia William Bromfield Peck, and he.lives at Russell, New Zealand, a long way off. He says it is a lovely country and intends to stay in it the balance of his days. As he landed in Australia, from England, in 1866, be has been there long enough to know what he is talking about. He advises persons of limited means who would like to become small landholders to emigrate to New Zealand; -c | i^till, he reminds us t hat in the end we must pay for what we get. The calling of a prospector, for instance, said Mr Peck, is is full of hard work. Besides, it entails rough living, such as salt junk, soddened damper, with tea in bucketfuls. One must have the digestive capacity of an ostrich or an anaconda to stand that diet for long. It must therefore be taken its proof of the good machinery inside of my system, when I mention that I actually stood it for nearly wenty-five years. My punishment was delayed, you see, but it didn't fail. At last the climax came, and 1 was prostrated with agonising pain in the stomach and all the other symptoms of a profound derangement of all the digestive organs. I had to knock off work and cease all exertion. I was imbued with disgust with all things mundane. I believe that dyspepsia is responsible for a large portion of the world's suicides ! Mr Peek's conjecture is exactly parallel with the fact as set forth in the official statistics of all civilised countries. No other disease so demoralises and depresses human nature. It attacks the secret strongholds of the reason and drives people insane; it stupefies the sensibilities; it turns men and women into selfish, useless, nuisances ; it impels them to commit crime. All this in addition to their own desolation and suffer ing. Yes, Mr Peck is quite right. But to get back to what he says about himself. At the advice of a friend—Mr W. Williams of this place—l began to take the far-famed Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. What result did it have ? I'll tell you : It has transformed me from a prematurely old man into one quite regenerated. I am a rapid eater antf can't break myself of the bad habit. Hence I make it a point to keep a bottle by tr.e always and an oc casional dose when necessary to set me right. I can safely assert ihat the investment of 7a 6d in Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup was the best I ever made in all my chequered career. You may depend that I prescribe this medicine to all and sundry people I come in contact with. Prior to using it I spent pounds at different, but only got partial relief. The Syrup seems to make straight for the seat of the trouble. I pen these lines just to show other sufferers the way out. There are any number of re j spectable persons here who can atiest the truth of what I have written.—Respectfully (Sigued) Wm. Bromfield Peck, Russell, Bay j of Isknds, New Zedand, July 2, 1892. We don't call for witnesses. Mr Peck's tale is frankness and truth itself. We hold , out our hand in greeting acrois the sea I Dyspepsia is a living death, and Mother Seigel gives new life. Millions sing that chorus. Aut he had better eat slower. | Write again and tell us you a_e doing so. j Friend Peck
