THE SNOWED UP MEN.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir, —Permit me through your columns to thank Mr W. Wheel band, of Temuka, very much for his letter to the Temuka Leader and Timaru Herald about the recent snowstorms. 1 think it is quite time that something was done to obtain news from the back stuiona in the McKenzie country. After waiting several weeks for news, I received a letter from Glentanner station on July 28, which was written in camp on June 29~a month having elapsed from the time of writing/ till it arrived. The snow was then two feet deep and ib was still snowing. Fire wood was very scarce, and the intense cold in camp was almost unbearable. Seven weeks have now gone by, and there is no more news. I think someone ought to take the matter in hand to ascertain the fate of many shepherds, maaterers, rabbiters, etc., who may ba in suffering or want, and relieve the anxiety of many an anxious wife or mother and friends. —I am, etc., An Anxious Wife.

ONLY FOUR TO MAN THE PUMPS.

Dear, dear ! When you come to think of it how closely related things are ; how one thing brings up another. Ideas are like a lot of beads on a string, aren't they 1 A letter I have just been reading makes

me remember what happened to me one

winter about twenty years ago. The story is too long to tell here, so I'll merely give you the tail end of it. I was supercargo on a bark bound from London to Rio. A tremendous gale, lasting five days, wrecked us. Forty-eight hours after it ceased there were four men and no more left on the vessel. The captain had been killed by a falling spar, three of the crew washed over board, and the rest of the ship's company (save us tour) went away in the long boat ! with the first and second mates. We were taking in water through a leak at the rate of six inches an hour. Working with all our might the four of us could pump that out in forty minutes, but we must do it every hour. It was awful work. For two j days we kept it up, without sleep. Then we stopped, took to the quarter boat and shoved off. The sea was quiet—-no wind. While we lay to within a mile of her the ship threw up her nose and went down stern first, We were picked up the next Jay by a Danish brig. Now the odd thing is that the letter which reminded me of that experience has nothing whatever to say about ships. Please help me to find out the association.

The lady who writes the letter says that in July, 1881, she gob a bad fright;. Exactly what it was she doesn't tell. I wish she did. Anyway it so upset her that she didn't get over the effects of it for nine years. After that her appetite fell off; she Tost all real relish for food, and what she did eat only made trouble instead of nourishing her. It gave her pain in the pit of the stomach and (curiously enough) between the shoulders. She says her eyes and skin presently turned yellow as a buttercup. Her face and abdomen swelled, and her feet the same, the latter so much so that she was obliged to have her shoes made larger.

" 1 got little sleep at night/ she fays, "and was in so much pain I had to be propped up with pillows. For weeks together I could not lie down in be.]. I had a dry, hollow cough, and bad night sweats. Then diarrhoea set in, and my bowels became ulcerated. I was often in dreadful agony fot forty-eight hours at a time. Then I would have a chill as though a bucket of cold water were poured down my back. I got so low I could no longer sew, knit, or do any house work or look after my children. My sister had to come and help in the house.

"Everybody said I was in a decline and must die. What I auffored for eight years tongue cannot tell Tee doctor could do nothing for me. He said my complaint was complicated and bad to deal with. In 18S6 I went as an outdoor patient to the Shrews bury Infirmary, but only got transient relief."

The writer is iv good health now, but why did her case remind me of the shipwreck? Let's settle that first, The association is easy and natural. Oust see. The ship sank because we four men hadn't the strength to pump out the water as fast as it came in. Twenty men might have got her into port. It is the last straw that breaks the camel's back ; the last unsupplied need that makes poverty abject and desperate.

These bodies of ours carry the seeds of disease with them all the time—chiefly the poisons created by imperfect digestion, made worse by careless habits. But as long as nothing extraordinary happens we manage to scrape along in a half-and-half sort of fashion. Yet we've got in our blood the stuff that any of a dozen diseases is made of, only wailing for something to set it afire. While the liver, kidneys, lungs and skin keep us fairly free—that is, don't let the load get too heavy—we sa,y, " Oh, yes, I'm tolerably well, thank you. 1 * Little pains and un pleasant symptoms bother us now and then, but we don't fancy they mean anything.

By-and-by something happens. A cold, too hearty a meal, a night of dissipation, an alliictioß through death or loss of property, a fright, as in Mrs Brunce's case, etc. Over we go. The last straw has crushed us. One loose spark has blown up the barrel of powder. The crew is too small to save the ship. The kidneys, liver, skin, and stomach strike work, and we must have help tight away or perish All of which means the explosion of latent indigestion and dyspepsia poisons in the blood. There! isn't it plain why I (bought of the ship ? Now for the conclusion of the lady's story. She says : "In 1889 I first heard of Mother Seigoi's Curative Syrup. Half a bottle made me feel better, and by keeping on taking it I wass soon strong and well as ever. Signed—Mrs Ann Buo.ce, The "Park, Worthen, near Shrewsbury, February 22, 1893."'

If there were only a way to save Nuking ships as certain and trustworthy as Mother Seigei's medicine is in the case of sinking human bodies, what a blessing it would be to poor sailors.

A Dcs Moines woman who has been troub led with frequent colds, concluded to try an old remedy in a new way, and accordingly took a tablespoonful (four times the usual dose) of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy just before going to bed. The next morning she found that her cold had almost entirely dis appeared. During the day she took a few doses of the remedy (one teaspoonful at a time) and at night again took a tablespoon ful before going to bed, and on the following morning awoke free from all symptons of the cold. Since then she has on several oc casions, used this remedy in like manner, with the same good results, and is much elated over her discovery of so quick a way of curing a cold.
