At a Penny Apiece, £20,000.

If you had as many pennies as there are natural holes through your skin, how many pennies should you have ? ( You would have enough to make £20,000. Now figure up the holes for yourself. Yet you couldn'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 poisonous 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 lady, whose name we are permitted to mention, will not soon forget the spring of 1890. It was then that for the first time m 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; 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 her cheeks. 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 lega got so painful and felt so tired she was put to it to get about. For eighteen months {it must have seemed like so many years) she was to.mented in thia way. Msanwhileshe 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 no. from the air.

Now we must go back .to the spring of 1890, and inquire what, if anything, pre ceded this strange outbreak. Ac that time, the lady Says, she first felt languid, tired, and constantly sleepy. She was troubled with bad headaches and attacks of giddi ness. Her appetite failed; she could eat but little, ana after eating had a feeling of weight and fullness at tbe cheat and aides. Her whole system was depressed, and the life in her appeared io sink, ac 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 most in telligent opinion of her case and advised the use of Mother ..eigel's Curative Syrup. Convinced by his reasoning she procured a supply of this well-known remedy and be gan taking it. Her letter concludes in thess words: " After I had used 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 j lumps entirely disappeared to return no more. I nave since enjoyed the best of health. You are at liberty to make my statement pubH6 if you think it may be useful | to others. (Signed) Mrs S*rah Charleton, 27, John Street, Arthur's Hill, Newcastle, February 7,1893." We congratulate this lady on her recovery and thank her for allowing us to publish the \ above details of her experience. The called her ailment nettle rash, but it was more than that. Her blood was loaded with the poisonous acids generated by indigestion and dyspepsia—the same as th 3 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 Eelled this poison through the kidneys and nwels 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
