Why not Live a Century?

"In the coming time," said a famous English poet, •' a man or woixan e »K ht y.,°^ one hundred years old will be more beautiful thaa the youth or maiden of twenty as the ripe fruit is more beautiful and fragrant than the green. These ripe men and women will have no wrinkles on the brow, no grey hair, no bent and feeble bodies On the contrary they will have perfect hearing, dear eyesight, sound teeth, elastic sep, and mental vigour." Does this sound absurd and impossible ? Why should it? People over one hundred years old are frequently met with m these days, as they have been as far as human records go back. A men is of no real value until he is past fifty and gained control of his passions and acquired some practical wisdom. Alter that he ought to hay«« from fifty to Fevertty-five working, years'pbe! ore him. Whoso dies short of one hundred (bar violence) die 3of his own folly or thac of his ancestors. One chief thing, howtver, we must learn. What is it? Take an illus tration — such as we see multitudes of on every side. Mr Richard Legatte 'of New Bolingbroke, near Boston, Lincolnshire, is a man now somewhat over seventy. He is a farmer, well known and' highly respeqted m his dis trict; 'In tW 'Bering" "of 1891 . he J had an attack of influenza from which he never fully recuperated. The severe symptoms passed away, *>f course, but he remained weak. No doubt food would hive built him np, provided he could have eaten and digested it. Yet here was the trouble, his appetite was poor, and what little he took' as a matter of necessity rather than of relish, seemed to aot wrong with him. Instead of giving him strength ib actually produced pain and distress m the sides, chest, and ■tomaoh. Then again — which is a common expert* ence— he would feel a craving for something to eat ; yet on sitting down to a meal, m the hope to enjoy it, the stomach would suddenly rebel against the proceeding, and he would turn from the table withont having swallowed a mouthful. . Nothing could come of this but increasing weakness and it wasn't long before it was all he could do to summon strength to walk about. As for working on his farm, that to be rare was not to .be thought of He had a doctor attending him, as we should expect. If the services of *> learned medical man are ever needed they must be m such a case— when nature seems to be all broken np, and the machinery runs slow, as our family clocks do when we have forgotten to wind them up at the usual hour. We'll, Mr Leggatc took the prescribed medicines, but got no better. He asked thn doctor why that was, and he appeared to be puzzled for an answer at first. Naturally enough a doctor doesn't like to admit that his medicines are doing no good, because he expects to be paid for them ; and then there is his professional pride, besides. However, he finally said, "If my medi cines fail to make you better it is owing to your age." That idea was plain as a pike staff, and if the patient had never got any better afterwards, why who could dispute what the doctor said? Nobody, of course It would look jußt as though Mr Leggate was really going to pieces from old age. But something subsequently happened which spoils that easy theory of the case. What it was he tells us m a letter dated February 3,1893. " After doctoring several months without receiving any benefit, I determined to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I got a bottle from Mr 6. H. Hanson, chemist, New Bolingbroke. After taking the Syrup for a week I was much better. I had a good appetite, and what I ate digested and strengthened me ; and by the time I had taken two bottles I was well and strong as ever. Yon may publish this statement if you think proper, (Signed) Richard Leg* gate." So it proved, after all, that Mr Leggate was not suffering f torn old age (at seventy 1 Nonsense !), but from indigestion and dyspepsia. When Mother Seigel's great discovery routed that, he felt " well and strong as ever-" Now for the moral : It is not Father Time who mows people down thus early m life; it is the Demon of Dyspepsia. Keep him away, and— barring accidents — you may live a century,

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prevention is Better Than Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Aehbnrton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a" scare," bnt it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to j one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five j ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Bonx and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon whioh dairy and kitchen slops have been . thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria.* The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever ard diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes *n absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. — (o) Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Copper Boilers, with patent smoke 6tack joint, and Semi-double sheeted frame— galvanised.
