THE FROZEN MEAT TRADE.

London, December 26 Messrs Weddel and Cj., m a review of *— the frozen meat trade, state that it is impos sible to properly or^rauise the distribution of the article until the colonial production and transport is oon trolled. The many damaged cargoes, especially from New Zea land, have seriously prejudiced the sound | shipments and occasioned the loss of tens of thousands of pounds.* The rejection of in ferior carcassa at the f i et zing works would be the moat beneficial meaus to meet the competition of the Argentine Republic. Numerous parcelß of Queensland beef too are unsuitable tor home consumption- The re port adds that the damage has been destruc tive to the trade for ye>.rs, and as it largely occurred before landing it will, unleßS remedied, cause irreparable injury.

Strong English Words

k When a person says " I suffered excrucia- fc »ng pain," he expresses a fact m the HB strongest words afforded by the English language. The word ' excruciating ' comes crux, a eros», and signifies an intensity agony comparable only to that endured by who undergoes the barbarous puniah- of crucifixion: There aro some which, fora time, cause pain of this acute and formidable nature. To find a relief for it, when possible, is at once the | impulse of humanity and the studious desire | j^V of science. Two brief examples may indicate what success is attending the effort to both comfort and cure cases of this kind. M " Nearly all my life," writes an intelligent "I have borne the burden of what seemed to be incurable illness. 1 always felt heavy, weary, and tired. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had a cruel pain at my chest and between the shoulders. Frequently the pain was so intense that I &~- was impelled to loose my clothing and walk ■ about the room. My nerves were disordered ■ and impressible, and I -was, consequently, I easily disquieted and upßet. My sleep was I habitually bad, and I seemed none the better I for spending a night m bed. Eating but \ little my strength waned of necessity, and I I came to be very weak. For a long* time I | got about feebly and with difficulty. ~\ "In August, 1887, I had an attack of I ' rheumatic gout, which gave me the moat I « harrowing experiences of my life. The '^ complaint took its usual course and refused to yield to the ordinary treatment. Through s the partial failure of the liver and kidneys i dropsy set m and my legs and feet became I jpuffed and swollen. I tuffered excruciating pain and was confined to my bed f.;r thirteen weeks. Remedies of every description were tried but to little purpose. . ' My brother, vi-itiug me one day, said he I had been cured of an attack of dropsy by Mother So gel's Syrup. I got a bottle I from Mr Hewitt, the chemist-, m Seveu Sisters Poad, and after taking it felt a trifle easier. I continued tukirg it, and soon the pain and swel'ing abued. I could eat | without pain or inconvenience, and by a few weeks further me of the Syrup I was not only free from any local ailment, but felt L^^^-hetiei than I ever did iv my life before. Since then I have enjoyed continuous good health, taking a dose of Mother Seigel's i;. Syrup occasionally for some transient indis (: position. You are at libercy to publish my * letter. Sigued, Mrs E izabeth Rogers, 42, Plevna Road, South Tottenham, London, September 13th, 1895.' , In January, 1892/ writes another, c I had an attack of influenza, and was confiued to . my bed for eighteen weeks thereafter. L Subsequently I was very weak and could get up no strength, What little food I H forced down (having no appetite) gave me W excruciating pain, so that I was afraid to eat. ■ I came to be exceedingly weak and had m frequent attacks of dizzine.-s. I was worn ■ almost to a skeleton and none thought I I would recover. I 'In June, 1892, Mr Smith, a friend of f ours, recommended me to try Mother Seigel's j Syrup, which lat onco procured of Mr > George Coomb?, the chemist m Hucknall. After taking it for only one week 1 felfc greatly benefited. I could eat better, and [food Bgreed with me. Continuing with the .Syrup I grew stronger and strongejr^anoTaootr even better than before J^as attacked by the influenza You are^free to print this statement if you wish lo do so. -igned, Mis Ruth Halliday, 44, High Street, Hucknall Torkar.l, Nottingham, March 19th, 1895., - Intense pain may or may not iudicUo urgent danger to life, but it is hard to bear, and very exhausting jusc the Bame In cases of rheumatic gout (Mrs Rogeru) the paiu is caused by a poisonous acid m the ti-sues, originally produced by the decomposition of food m the stomach — indigestion or dyspepsia. The same poison acting on the liver and kidneys creates the other symptoms mentioned. In the case of Mr a Halliday the ailment was dyspepsia, which m the first place invited influenza, and then remained o torment her. -" ' Irishes 1 and easiest to prevent pain by using Mother Seigel'a Syrup immediately when the slightest illness appears.
