DASTARDLY OUTRAGE.

Last night two men, masked and entered Mr Orawcour's pawn broker's shop m North Melbourne, and felled an old man named Stewart (who vras m charge) with a bar of iron They gagged and bound him, but his cries brought assistance, and as the burglars were escaping they fired a shot. The bullet passed through Stewart's coat sleeves, The old man was taken to the hospital, and his con dition ia serious.

ONLY A LITTLE AT A TIME

There are sound objections to one's know- 1 ing too much about his own body. I *m going to tell you what they are ; not to-day, But Boon. To make sure of them you will have to watch these articles sharply m the newspapers. Yet we should know a little ; and a fraction of that little 1 will serve up now. Please favour me with your attention. Right across the middle of the body is a large, thin, flab muscle, stretched like a "Canvas awning — the diaphragm. By it you are divided into two large stories or com partments. The upper one contains the heart and lungs, the lower one contains (chiefly) the stomach, the intestines, and the liver. The most painful (internal) diseases occur downstairs, the least painful upstairs. QOhe entire right side of the lower com l^artment, from the top down to the short I *ibs, is filled by the liver, which is suspended LfiO a mere point of the diaphragm and shakes [>bout with every movement you make. Now, from che location of the liver we have a word used for ages to express one of the most unhappy conditions a human being can fall into — the word hypochondria (often abreviated to 'hpo'), the word meaning under the cartilages. , * For seven years,' writes a correspondent. ' I suffered from complaint of the liver. I was very bilious, my skin was sallow and dry, and the whites of my eye yellow. I had much pain and weight at my right Bide, and was^constantly depressed and tnelanxSnoly. — ft seemed to be out of my fibwer to take a hopefulor cheerful view of anything. The effect of this complaint on the mind was one of the aspects of it hardest to bear.

1 1 had lost my natural appetite, and ate to support life ; but their was no more any genuine relish for food or drink. The bad taste m my mouth made all . that I took taste bad. Sometimes I would be taken sick and throw up all I had eaten ; and after a meal, no matter how slender and simple, I was troubled with fullness aud pain at the chest. 1 used many kinds of medicines and while some of them may have relieved me for the moment, none conferred any lasting benefit, and I was soon as bad as ever.*

♦In March, 1892, 1 read m a small book of what Mother Saigel's Curative Syrup had done m cases similar to mine, and was especially interested m the account given m the* book of the nature and duties of the 'liver, and its disorders. I got a bottle of tJje .Syrup from Boots' Drug Stores, and "after taking it a few days felt quite like a new man. It seemed to correct my stomach and liver and clear my system of all bile; and it left me m capital health. Since that time I have kept Mother Seigel's Syrup m the house as a family medicine and have commended it to all my friends as the best known cure for ailments like the one from which I suffered so miserably and so long. You can me this statement as you like. (Signed) John Gent, 59, Coventry Road, Bull well, Nottingham, March 21sb, 1895.' 'In the spring of 1891,' wates another, «I found myself m bad health. I had no appetite, and the little I did eat did me no good, gave me no strength. I had .great pain and weight at the chest and right side, and my skin turned sallow, and dry. My kidneys also acted badly, and from time to time I had attacks of gravel; and cold, clammy, weakening sweats broke out nil over me. Being only seventeen years old when the trouble began I was greatly alarmed and anxious. No doctor was'able to help me, and I continued thus for over three years. In June, 1894, I began to use Mother Seigel's Syrnp and soon felt better, lighter, and more cheerful. And by taking [**> a few weeks longer I recovered my health '^nd strength. Since then, when I have any stomach, liver, or kidney symptoms I resort to Mother Seigel's Syrup and it never fails to set me right. You can publish this letter. (Signed) C. Hanson, 6, New lon Lane, Gloucester, May 31st, 1895.' XThe stomach, the liver, and the kidneys are all connected parts of the food and digestive system. When disordered (usually through torpidity of the stomach) they cripple the body and throw a gloom as of night over the mind. On their earliest signs of anything wrong with them use Mother Seigel's Syrup at once
