If you had as many pennies a., there are natural holes through your skin, how many pennies should you have 1 You would have enough to make £20,000. Now figure up the holes for yourself. Yet you conldn't afford to sell them for a penny each, even in hard times. They are worth more money. These holes, or sweet glands, pour out quarts of sweat every day—water, mixed with salt and poisonoua humours. Stop these holes, partly or entirely, and the skin's work is at once thrown on the lung and kidneys. Then you fall ill with some disease or other. With what disease de pends on the nature and location of your weak spot. A iady, whose name we are permitted to mention, will not soon forget the spring of 1890. It wa3 then that for ihe first time in her life she was afraid to be left alone: not from fear of enemies, but from sheer nervous excitement. She was obliged to have elastic put into her slippers to let them out —her feet were swollen so j and her hands were in the same condition. In the morning her face would puff up and large lumps form under her eyes and on herche.ks. Then a rash made its appeareance all over her body, vanishing again almost immediately, as a blush comes and goes on the face.

The suddenness of this she compares to the sting of a wasp or hornet. An intense itching accompanied it, so she could not lie in bed or be quiet in any position on account of it. She was in misery night and day, and scarcely knew what to do with herself. Her legs got so painful and felt so tired she waa put to it to get about. For eighteen months (it must have seemed like so many years) ehe was to-, mented in this way.

Meanwhile she consulted two doctors, and attended successfully at the Newcastle In firmary and at the Dispensary. But nothing more than temporary ease came of the treatment they gave her. The doctors recom mended a change of air, and in August, 1891, she went to North Sunderland. She found relief at that place, but not from the air.

Now we must go back sto the spring of j 1890, and inquire what, if anything, pre- j ceded this strange outbreak. Ar that time, \ the lady says, she first felt languid, tired, and constantly sleepy. She was troubled with had headaches and attacks of giddi ness. Her appetite failed; she could eat but little, and after eating had a feeling of weight and fullness at the chest and Mdes. Her whole system was depressed, and the life in her appeared to sink, as the water does in a cistern where there exists a hidden leak somewhere. Then came what has already been described.

At North Sunderland, whiter she went for a change of air, she met a gentleman named Cathcart, who expressed a moat in telligent opinion of her case and advised the use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Convinced by his reasoning she procured a suppiy of this well-known remedy and be gan taking it, Her letter concludes in thess words: " After I had nsed the Syrup only a few days I felt a decided improvement in all respects. My appetite revived, my food digested better, and soon the rash and lumps entirely disappeared to return no more. I nave,since enjoyed the best of health. You are at liberty to make my statement public if you think it may be useful to others. (Signed) Mrs Sarah Charleton, 27, John Street, Arthur's Hill, .Newcastle, February 7,1893." We congratulate this lady on her recovery and .hank her for allowing us to publish the above details of her experience. The doctor, called her ailment nettle rash, hut it was more than that. Her b'ood was loaded with the poisonous acids generated by indigestion and dyspepsia—the same as th. poisons of gout and of acute inflamma tory rheumatism. The irrated nerves of the skin produced the rash, as the clogged pores were unable to excrete the poison. The purifying power of Seigel's Syrup ex pelled this poison through the kidneys and bowels and by stimulating insensible per spiration over the whole surface of the skin Of this disease an English physician says : " When it becomes chronic all treatment fails."

Yes, all treatment except the one which cured Mrs Charleton

BISHOP JULIUS.

I The past week has been one which will jbe marked with a white stone by the 1 members of the Anglican Chufteh on | account of the visit of Bishop Julius to this part of the diocese. Unfortunately the wet weather prevented the fulfilment of all the engagements which awaited his Lordship, but he nevertheless, as a'ways, had a very busy time. On Thursday evening, as already mentioned, he was welcomed at a soiree, musicale, which was rendered very enjoyable by the admirable performances of the Orchestral Society, and on Saturday evening the Bishop gave a most interesting ac.u'„nt of a recent journey to the West Coast, full of graphic , description and piquant and amusing comments upon men and things as they are found on the diggings, and in far-away

nooks and corners on the other side of I the great dividing range. Here and there a useful moral was deftly suggested, and there were touches of solemnity mingled with flashes of genuine humor, just as a great painter contrasts his lights and shadows. From beginning to end the address was listened to with unflagging attention and genuine enjoyment. The Orchestral Society again rendered valu able, help the selections given both before and after the lecture being admirably rendered. On Sunday the Bishop offici ated at early comjciunion, and at 11 o'clock administered the rite of confirmation to 54 candidates -20 male, and 34 female. The church was crowded to i*-s utmost capacity, and the ceremony was most im pressively performed. The Bishop's address to the candidates, given before the ceremony, waß very touching, affect ing many of the congregation to tears. In the afternoon His Lordship held a confirmation service at Seafield, when six candidates—2 male and 4 female were present. The schoolroom in which the ceremony took place was crowded by a congregation which gathered not only from the immediate locality, but also from Pendarves, Newlands, and Wakanui, and the service wa3a very bright and enjoyable one. The residents had been at great pains to prepare the room for the occasion, mats and cushions being provided for the confirmees, the table, books, etc., arranged suitably for tbe Bishop's convenience, and a piano provi ded to assist in the musicii-1 part of the service. A confirmation was to have been ' held at Springburn also during the week, but had to be postponed in consequence of the river being unfordable. It has been postponed until Monday, December 9. Ofi Sunday evening, St Stephen's was crowded to iis utmost capacity, between 5 and 6 o'clock parsons finding seats by the aid of forms and chairs placed in the aisle, and in every available vacant space. The Bishop preached a most eloquent and practical sermon, takins for his text il Timothy IV" 10—'Far Demas hath for saken me having loved the present world.' The musical part of the service was also excellent, the large congregation entering heartily into the singing and responses. His Lordship returned to Christchnrch by the early train this morning

A PUGNACIOUS CLERGYMAN

Sydney, November 23 The Rev. J. Clarke was fined for assault and using insulting language in connection with his resistance to the re-opening of St Stephen's Ohurch at Kogarsh. Clarke denied making use of the language complained of, and said the plaintiff had commenced the assault, and he responded by driving a straight one under his guard. He wanted to make it a fair fight, but he was not allowed to do so. In reply to the solicitor for the plaintiff, Clarke intimated his willingness to £,ive him proof of his knowledge of the art of boxing. He denied the right of the Primate to cancel his license, and he did not recognise his action, as he contended " once a priest always a priest."

Wellington, November 25 Formal proceedings in the arbitration court began at 10 a.m. Sir Robert Scout at once rai«ed the question of the jurisdic tion of the court, contending tnat the contract having expired the right to arbi trate also ceased. Further, that the seizure of the line by Government also suspended all rights under the contract. He said he raised this question now be cause he did not want to spring a surprise on the Court, but would not ask for decision till evidence on the points had been heard, when he would submit the question again. Mr Hutchison briefly replied, refusing co concede any of the points raised. He aiso contended that as the line had been seized after notice of the arbitration had been given the court could n^t take notice of it.

Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. | I do not think it will be misplaced. I make the best form of cure—an j absolute one—for biliousness and headache that can be found in this year. The cure is so small in it self, and yet its comfort to you is, so great—twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes—that it has become a marvel of its time, One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, in the shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haybqck's New Livee Pill. It is old in the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest Eftedicine can be sold at a 25, cents.

Eiffelton, January 20, 1894 Mr Ferriman, Ashburton,— Dear Sir,— My crossbred lambs were suffering so badly from the lung-worm and scour (both) that I had forty deaths in a flock of 350.

The Mixture paid me well and I would advise any one to use it.—Willson Ceosskell. % Doric, January 16, 1895 Mr F. Ferriman, Ashburton— <_ Dear Sir,— My sheep having derived much benefit from using Joseph Ford's Lung-Worm Mixture, I think it only due to you that you should know that it was very effective, and I can confidently recommend it to any farmer whose sheep are not thriving. Before using the Mixture, in a very small flock, I was losing three lambs per week, but after dosing there were no deaths, and the sheen began to improve quickly.— Yours truly, DB.
