Australasian Defence.

(PER PRfcSS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT. )

London, November 24. Major-General llutton, ex-Oomman dant of the New South Wales force, gave a lecture at Aide* shot on "Gn a er Britain." The Duke «f Connaught , .being unwell, Lord W"i liair. Seymou' presided. General Hutton extol ed the excellent military qualities- of Irs Australian comrades, and expounded » -^federal eoheme of defence, He dwelt at length on the want of a continuous policy, and thought it woud be wiser for the colonies to spend a larger amount on their own and Imperial - defence. Major-General Tulloch, for """"""raerly Command *nt m "Victoria, de clared that the succers of the Australian defence was largely due to Victoria _ and the action taken by Sir E, T. Sar good m 1884. Lord Win. Seymou* advocated tho setting up of an Imperial Council of Defence injaondon.

An Indescribable Sensation.

To be easily described a thing must have clear outlines and unmixed colours. In other words it must be simple. A rent m — one's clothing, a boil on one's body, a tumble while walking, the shape of a box, &c, are easily set forth m words. On the contrary the -, complex and comprehensive things puzzle tlie mind and take the meaning from language.' It was for this reason that Miss Sabma Mitchell, alluding to an experience of illness says : "At this time there came upon me an indescribab'e sensation. It was as' ii the powers of life were going to fail me, and I should sink down without help, as a stone sinks m water. Yet m saying thin I convey no adequate idea of the nature of that feel ing. I hope I shall never have it again. " The illness which led to it began m the - spring of 1892. My health appeared to give way all at ouce. I found myself tired, heavy,, and feeble. My appetite was poor, and after eating I hal much distress at the stomach aud pain at the chest and sides. My strength gradually declined and I became very low, weak, and nervous ; and it was when m this condition that I felt the indescribable sensation I have spoken of. •- 1 soon became so depressed m body and mind that it wa. with great labor aod strain that I attended to my busineas. I was extremely down-hearted and feeble, and none of the many medicines I tried did me any real good. In December, 1892, Mother Selgel'. Syrup was commended to me; and I began using it with I confess, small confi dence. But after having taken it for a few days I felt wonderful relief. My appetite improved, and eating r.o longer gave me pain A short time afterwards the Syrup proved its value m the matter of my disordered nerves. The nervousness disappeared with my increasing (strength. Nowadays, when ever I need any medicine, a few doses of Mother SeigeFs Syrup quickly set me right. Having had so convincing an experience of what it can do, I recommend it to ail my friends aud customers. You can make such use as you like of this letter. (Signed), (Miss) Sabina Mitchell, Marchamle-Fen, Boston, Lines, May 17ih, 1895." "In March, 1892," writes another lady, "my health began to give way. I had lost my energy, and was languid and heavy m -_~- feeling-""-! had a sense of faiutnes. and dizziness that was almoßt constant, and occasional spells of sinking which I cannot describe. Hot and cold flushei came over me, my mouth tasted badly, and after eating I had a feeling at the chest like the pressure of an actual load upon it. I never Beemed rested, and awoke m the morning more tired than when I went to bed. I was also much troubled with wind or gas from the stomach, and raised a sour, biting fluid. "In this manner I continued to suffer for -SfK^v two years, no medicine that I took giv__§ me any^ relief. In January, 1894, I got a small book and read m it of cases like mine having been cured by Mother Seigel'. Curative Syrup. I immediately procured 'j, ■ the medicine from Boots' Drug Stores, and after taking it about ten days felt much better. I could eat something nourishing > . without any pain following. 1 kept on with the Syrup and was soon m my former good health once more. You have my permission to make this statement public. (Signed) (Mr?) Ann Shaw, 174, Bram-ley Road, Bat-moor, Sheffield, March Bth, 1895. '

i Touching the indescribable sensation alluded to by both ladieß, an eminent medical author says : " Ib is synoope without the loss of consciousness. The sufferer has the —""keenest realisation of the bitterness of dissolution. I have seen stalwart men unnerved and shaken by such experiences till they ttemble 1 like a->pen leaves." The cause is an acid poison m the blood produced by indigestion or dyspepsia. The remedy i. to purify the blood with Mother Seigel's Syrup, and to tone the stomach m same way. Use the Syrup on the " approach of the earliest signs of weakness.
