Our Regards to Mr Russell.

« The writer of these .lines hereby tenders to Mr W. Clark Russell the assurance of his thanks and appreciation. I have always loved sea stories, and those of Mr Russell stand at the head of their class. From * The Wreck of the Grosvenor,' to 'List, ye Landsmen !' I have read them all. Yet salt water, and the things thereon and therein, are not the only things he knows about ; not by many degrees of latitude. In hiß last book he makes a sailor talk thus : — •* 1 have suffered from the liver in my time, and know what it is to have felt MAD. I say I have known moments when I could scarce restrain myself from breaking windows, kicking at the shins of all who approached me, knocking my head against the wall, yelling with the yell of one who drops in a fit ; and all the while my brain was as healthy as the healthiesc that ever filled a human skull, and nothing was wanted but a musketry of calomel pills to dislodge the fiend," &c, &c.

So much for what Mr Russell's eailor (or Mr Russell himself), says ; and there are plenty of people who can testify that this is not a bit overdrawn. One fact in particular it helps us to realise, namely, that the life of a sailor does not guarantee good health. Indigestion and dyspepsia— of which liver complaint is a sequence and a symptom — are as common among sailors as among lands men. One of the latter, however, may now tell of his experience * All my life 'he says, * I had suffered from billiousnesß and sick head aches. I would have t»n attack about every three weeks. At such times my appetite left me, and I could neither eat nor drink for days together. I suffered from dreadful sickness and straining, and vomited a greenish -yellow fluid. My head felt as though ic would burst. I had a bad taste in the mouth, sallow skin, and the whites of the eyes turned yellow. I was recommended to adopt a vegetarian diet, and did so, but the attacks were just as frequent and violent. I consulted doctorsand took their medicines, but was none the better for it. In this way I went on year after year/ Well, we shalt agree that there could scarcely be a worse way to go on, and it all came about thus : — The overworked stomach put more on the liver than the latter could do. Indignant and disgusted at this the liver refused to do a stroke more than its proper share. Hence more bile accumulated in the blood than the liver was able remove. This surp'ua bile acts as a slow poison — and not so very slow either. The tongue is furred ; the head aches and feels dull and heavy ; the eyes and skin are greenish yellow ; there is dizziness and nausea ; cold hands and feet ; spots before the eyes ; a pungent, biting fluid rises into the throat ; constipation; high coloured kidney secre tion ; prostrated nerves ; irritability ; loss of ambition : fears'and forebodings, &c , Ac. This is " biliousness " or •' liver com plaint" in its simplest form. When long unchecked it produces irregular action of the heart, rheumatism, gout, and any or all, of a dozen other organic disorders. There is no more certain or poworful impulse to mis behaviour ; suicide and other crimes often resulting. What to do ? To get rid of the poison by starting the skin and bowcla into energetic action ; then to keep them going at a healthy and natural gait. How to do thia ? Let our friend Mr F. Widgcr, 4, Portland Square, Plymouth — whom we have just quoted — speak on that point. In his letter, dated March 3rd, 1893, he adds : " Two years ago. after all medicines had failed to helpline, I first heard of Mother Seigle's Curativs Syrup. I procured it from Mr JR. 8. Luke, Chemist, Tavistock Roarl, and began to us 3 it, and nothing else. After having consumed one bottle I found myself vastly better, and by continuing with it I got rid of my old trouble al' oget her.,'' We should mention that Mr Widger is a tailor and outfitter at Plymouth, and well known and respected in that community. He permits us to use his name out of .grati tude for his recovery. The potency of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup over liver disease is due to its ability to cure indiges tion and dyspepsia, which is (as we have said) the cause of liver disease. Every house on the land, and every ship on the sea, should have this remedy as a necessary part of their stock and stores. Perhaps Mr Russell may recommend it in his next book. But no "musketry of calomel pills/' Ob, no*
