The Garrison Band.

Iho arrival of the Chrisiehurch Gsrri son Bar d causv-J quite a aiie on Saturday evening. The wtcoet it- ihe vicinity of the railway bUiiou was thronged with people at the arrival of the eight o'clock train, and half an hour before, the Aeh burton Fire Brigade, leading the local Brass Band, and bearing torches, marched ihiough the town to the station. Of course the usual crowd followed, so that the visitors harl no lack of audience. The visiting band then joined the procession, and the march was led down F.ast street nearly its full length, back to Burnett strtet, and thence to the drill shed, where a concert was given at which most of the pieces to be peiformed at the bands contest at Tinuaru this week were given. The shed waa well filled, but as the architect did n>t have a concert hall in view when he designed the wood and iron structure, fchosse who took an outside ticket had ihe greater treat. It waa re ma, ked, too, that the outside ticket holdtrs were very numerous, but Saturday night is never a good show night in Ash burton. The excellent playing of the Garrison Band was the subject of general remark, and it was thus easy to under stand why dense crowds of people should be attracted to the street on Sunday morning when the band paraded for Divine service with the Ashbarton Rifles, and to the Domain in tha afternoon when a sacred recital was given on the sports ground The conductor, Mr R Trist .Searell, desires as to return the band's very hearty thanks for the kind and cordial manner in which they have been treated during their short visit by the inhabitants of Ash burton. Special thanks are due to Major Douglas and Captain Do'man for their generous conduct in placing (he Drili Shod a* their disposal free of charge ; also to Captain Fooks of the Fire Brigade for the valuable assistance the Brigade rendered, both on Saturday evening during the procession, and also on Sunday mornii g. The Dhrist church Garrison B*nd hope at, no very distant pariod to renew fheir acquaintance with the Ashburton town-folk by giving a concert h:ire.

Australian Politics.

Perth. September 30

Size and Strength no Defence.

Here s a point- for you to think over: Size and development have nothing to do with health. A man may stand six feet; two inches in his stockings and have the muscles ot a prize fighter, and yet be an essentially unhealthy man. His frail-looking wife may be really the better of the couple ; she may aasily do more work, endure more exposure, bear more grief and woiry, and outlive her big husband. There is a mystery in this that nobody can see into. It is a matter of vitality and organisation—not of dimensions. Take, for example, the case of Mr T. B. Staples, of Oakwood, Ont. He is a black sniiih ; and I well remember how, when a hoy, I used to regard a blacksmith with awe and wonder on account of his strength. It was fearsome to see him swing those mighty hammers and pick up a heavy cart-wheel as though it were a child's hoop. Yet I saw only in part and understood in part. •' Some twelve years ago,' writes Mr Staples, "I became aware that the dreaded disease, dyspepsia, had chosen me for one of its many victims. It is hardly necessary for me to try to describe all the different feel ings that came over me. I have talked with many people suffering with dyspepsia, and they have all had about the same experience. Among the symptoms on which we agreed are the following : Bad taste in the mouth ; fulness and deadness ia the stomach after eating ; getting no good frcm one's food ; headache and palpitation of the heart; gas and sour fluids from the stomach ; dizziness, especially when one rises up suddenly, or bends over his work; 1> ss of appeii'e ; pains in the chest and back, and the weakness that comes from not eating and digesting enough tood to keep the body going All these things I had; and you can imagine how bad they are for any one ; particularly for a man. who has got to earn his living by daily hard work, as in my case. Alter I found out what was the matter with me I consulted a doctor at once, and began to take the medicine he gave me. I am sorry to s%y it did me little or no good. Although there is a common opinion that stomach troubles are not very serious, and never dangerous, I must say that is not my opinion. No man who suffers from dyspepsia as long as I did (about six years) wiil ever talk foolishly or lightly about it. Even the doctors admit it is the hardest of all diseases to keep track of, and to cure. If it does not kill a man right of hand, it spreads the shadow of death over hnn all the time he j has it, and takes all the laughter out of his days " Well, after the doctor's medicine failed, I kept on taking anything and everything that was recommended to me in hopes of relief. Yet none o£ them went to the i*oot of the trouble. Sometimes I would feel a little better and sometimes worße, and that's the way things went on with me year after year, a dreary and miserable time. There's no money could hire me to live it over again. I was still in this condition when a friend that I had been talking to about myself, advised me to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I didn't know the merits of the Syrup then, but being anxious to try any thing that might help me, I bought a bottle from Messrs Hogg Brothers, and commenced j taking it. All I can say is, that I found ' relief immediately, and by continuing with it a short time, all my bad symptoms I abated one by one and I found myself completely rid of the dyspepsia. Since then I have never had a touch of the old complaint. If there is any other medicine in the world that is able to cure indigestion . and dyspepsia as Mother Seigel's Syrup does it, why I have never heard of it. I have recommended the Syrup to other sufferers, and they have been more than pleased with it; and I write these hasty lines in hope the publication of them may come in the nick of time to be useful to others still. Yours very truly (Signed) Thomas B, Staples, Oakwood, Ontario, February 25, 1895 We need add but few words to Mr Staples' intelligent and manly letter. rI he disease which afflicted him attacks both sexes, all ages, and all classes and conditions of humanity Neither youth nor strength is proof against it. It imitates other complaints, and so leads to fatal mistakes in treatment. If you are wise you will j acquaint yourself with its character, s,s described in Mother Seigel's almanac, and know what to do in time of need
