Melbourne, Jn)y 28 The Treasurer's Financial Statement estimated that the present year would show a surplus of £19*000, but the anticipation was not realised, as the revenue fell short by £3(52,000, while the expenditure slightly exceeded the estimates. After providing for Treasury bills the deficit will be £112,000 for the year, but as July and August have yet to be reckoned with, it is possible the deficit will not exceed £70,000. The accrued deficit amounts to £3,210,000,

WHAT IS THAT ONE THING?

It seems like an absurdity, yet it is true al the same. I mean that you might have a b*Hsr full of wood end coal and still sbiver with oold; and you would if it were not for one thing. 'Ob, that is so obvious,' yoa may say. *It was hardly worth while to hint at it. Anyone oan see it with his eyes shut. AH tha better for me then ; I shan't have to explain. And by the same sharpness you will be able to pick out the important point m two short; letters I am about to oopy for you. Tbe first runs thus : ' In Deoembor, 1890, my daughter, (Mrs M. J. Muther) got into a low, weak, nervous condition. Do what one would she could not get up her strength. Gradually she wautad away nntil everyone thought she was m a decline, and bad not long to live. In faot, she was so low and de jected she did not care whether she lived or not. She waß under a dootor for six months, but bis medicines did her no good. My husband then said, 'My daughter, I will now see what I can do for you.' What he meant was that he would have her take a medioine called ' Mother Segal's Curative Syrup.' He hod uaed it himself whea,bn was ill, and thought it might prove bb benefioial to her as it bad to him. ' Mrs Muther sail (he was willing to try the Syrup, although she bad little or no faith j m its helpiog one as bad as she was. For if , sbe really had consumption we know there is no care for that. My husband, however, got I a bottle from Mr Hulme, the chemist, m j Boobdale Bend, and my daughter began taking it. After the first bottle we sa* a great improvement. She could cat, and the j food gave her no pain. She continued with j this remedy, and gradually gained strength, but it took 6ome time to bring her round, sbe was so very weak. After a lime she was able to get about, and never looked behind her. | Since then sbe has been strong and well. We have told many persons how Mother | Seigel's Syrup restored her to sound health, and are willing you should publish this statement of the faots. (Signed) (Mrs) Margaret Watson, 11, Ruby Street, Bury, Oat. Bth, 1895.' •In Maroh, 1893,' says tbe second letter, ' I began to fail m health. I oould not Bey ex aotlywhat ailed me. I felt low, weak, and tired, and had no strength for any thing. My appetite fell away and what little food I ate Rave me great psin at tbe cheat and side, My hands and feet were cold, and neorly all ! the oolour left me. I was often mso great pain I could hardly do any work. I was frequently sick, and oould keep no kind of food down.

4 1 got weaker and weaker, m spite of all that was done, and bad to ba of! my work tax seventeen weeks. In this way I went on un til November of the Bame year— lß9B, Then I happened to read about Mother Seigel's Syrup and what it had done for others suffer ing like me. I got a bottle of this medicine from Mr W. Heywood, grocer, m Odham. Road, and after taking only the half of it I felt much better. I could eat without pain, and was stronger and brighter every way. When I had finished the bottle I wag quite aured, and have bad ho return o;f the com plaint since. I have told many others about what tbe Syrup did for me, and out of thankfulness lam willing my letter should be made public (Signed) Miss Lydia 8. Morton, 1. Greaveß Street, Middletion Junotion, near Manchester, October 10 tb, 1895.' Both these ladies say that they were very weak, and that their food— of whiob they oould take but little — did them no good. In the midst of plenty they were actually starv ing. So muoh wasted was one of them that it was believed Bhe had consumption. Tbe event showed that they both suffered from dyspepsia, and nothing else. Bat that *as quite enough ; and besides it often runs into consumption and other fatal maladies. By setting the stomach right Mother Seigel's Syrup fully cured them both. Goals and wood are useless without means to light a fire ; and bread and meat ate as nothing unless we can digest them and make < them part of our flesh and bone. That is eaßy to see and important to remember. And it is its power to help nature work tbiß transformation that makes Mothex Seigel's Syrup so wonderful a remedy.
