A FEW INCHES OF PLAIN ENGLISH

Nowadays men are doing all sorts of wonders by means of electricity, both in mechanics and in chemistry. I see by the papers ihat they expect to be able to produce reil diamonds by it. Perhaps they may ; marvels never cease. But we will wait till they do before we crow over that job. Up to this time, anyway, everything that is both valuable and useful is the fruit of hard work. Even diamonds are mostly got out of rocky mines. And, within reasonable limits, it is good for us to have to work. Ten shillings honestly earned is better for a man than twenty in the shape of a legacy

The best condition of things for any country would be when fair wages could be earned straight along, without loss or deduction for any reason. But in the present aspect of human affairs this is impossible. Whose fault it is we cannot now discuss One source of loss, however, is plain enough, and some remedy for it ought to be found. In England and Wales every work ing man averages ten days of illness per year, making the total loss of wages from this cause about £16 000,000 a year. We are talking of the average, you see. But inasmuch as ail working-men are not ill every year, this average does not fairly show ths suffering and loss of those who are ill. In any given year many will lose no time ab all, while others may lose individually from ten days to six months each. No charity, no savings, no income from clubs, etc., can make up for this-even in money alone, to say nothing of the pain and the misery Alluding to an experience of his in 1888 Mr George Lagdon says, 'I had to give up my work.' How this came to pass he tells us in a letter dated from his home in White House Road, Stebbing, near Dunmow, August 24, 1892. He had no inherited disease or weakness, so far ad he knew, and was always strong and well up to April of that, year—lßßß. Then his strength and energy began to leave him. He felr. tired, not aa from work, but as from power gone out of him through some bodily failure. He eat down to his meals, but not with his old eagerness and relish 'ihere was a nasty copper-like taste in his mouth his teeth and tongue were covered with slime, and his throat clogged with a kind of thick phlegm, difficult to ' hawk up ' and eject He also speaks of a nagging pain in the stomaoh, flatulency, and much palpitation of the heart as having been among his symptoms, As the ailment—whatever it was—progressed he began to have a hacking cough which, he say 3, seemed as if it must shake him to pieces. He could scarcely sleep on account of it. One of the most alarming featutes of his illness, however, were the night sweats, for the reason that they showed the existenoe of a source of weakness which must soon, unless arrested, end in total prostration. In fact he was obliged to give up his work altogether. To him—as to anj' once active man—this was like being buried alive One doctor whom Mr Lagdon consulted said he was consumptive, and it did indeed look that way. c For twelve weeks, 1 ho says, I went on like this, getting weaker and, weaker, and having reason to believe that it would end in my taking the one journey from which no traveller returns It was now July—summer time, when life to the healthy is so pleasant and full of hope. At this time my sister-in-law got fiom Mr Linsells (Stebbing) a medicine that I had not tried yet. After having used one bottle I felt better, and when I had used the second *I was cured, and have not lost an hour's work since.' The reader will notice that between the date of his taking this medicine and the date of his letter there is an interval of four years. We may, therefore, infer that his cure was real and permanent. The medicine, by the way, was Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. It is not likely he will forget its name nor what it did for him. His disease was indigestion and dyspepsia, the dead'y enemy of eveiy labouring man or woman under the sun, no matter what they work at or work with—hands, brains, or both Is it necessary to draw a 'moral '—school book style-from these facts? No, it is not. We have talked pliin English, and that is enough.

DANGERS OF TRAVEL.

The dangers incidentel to travelling seem to be increasing rather than diminishing. Almost daily it is oar painful duty to record appaling deaths, on Imd and sea, and it would almost aeem as if the progress wo are supposed to have made in scientific [ appliances, in place of minimizing, enhances j the chancG3 of dangsr. But on more card'n' co siderntion we find it is not so much that science is at fault as that men are careless. Carelessness is the aefual cause of a great percentage of the most. perrible catastrophes and deaths, and as long as responsible per sons jgnore this fact the preseut death-rate will continue. To permit the kidneys to'rot away, or to suffer lime stone deposits to accumulate in the b'adder, is criminal care lessness, especially when a sure and safe cure ■a obtainable. Mr Thomas J. R. Bakhap, Mine Proprietor, Hobart, Tasmania, says : ' I am pleased to say that some years ago I derived great and lasting benefit from the use of Warner's Safe Cure At that time 1 suffered Ivoxx a distressing kidney disease, and although I tried many nedicines I derived very little benefit from them. I was then advised to try Warner's Safe Cure, and took three or four bottles, at the same time strictly conforming to the dietary rules prescribed I am pleased to say that theSaie , Cure completely cured me, and I have not suffered in the least from the complaint from that day to this, and consider my cure per manent. The other day I recommended a friend to try Warner's Safe Cure for a com plaint similar to my own, and he already experiences much relief, and is confident that the medicine will effect a complete cure in hia case.'
