ONLY BESSIE BELWOOD.

A tolerably well-known public man was Been (the London correspondent of the Nottingliavt Guardian asserts) the other day at the funeral of Mis B<ssie Bel wood, j • People wondered why he was there. Thej gentlemrn really had but one inten lew with l the lady m her life. Mr 1). was late I for a train at a great Midland junction some { year" ago. He made a dash at the nearest carriage just as the train was moving out of the station, and ho got m, not, however, till he had scraped one of his shins m a rather dangerous manner. On scrambling into the carriage ho saw two ladie3 and Eat himself m the corner to com pose himself as best he could. His leg was bleeding very freely, and it was awkward for him to deal with ib m the presence of ladies ; but one of (hem saw his discomfiture, ""insisted on his taking brandy out of her flask, which he really neede<), aa he was getting faint, and bound up Jliis leg very deaftly. " Take a good swig »t it sir," she said, as she handed him the fhsk, and he did. On arriving at ICust on he essayed to thank the'kind stranger for attentions which really a^ved him from a serious illness. ••It is no matter," said she. " Whom havel the honour of addressing ?" said he, "Only Beßsie Bellwood," was the reply. .--He_Bjyer forgot^ it, and he went to the funeraf the other day m acknowledgmeut if that kindness.

All 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 Bet forth m words On the contrary the complex and comprehensive things puzzle the mind and take the meaning from language. It was for this reason that Miss Sabina Mitchell, alluding to an experience of illness ~ says : "At this time there came upon me an indescribab'e sensatiou. It was as it 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 this I convey no adequate idea of the nature of that feel ing. I hope I shall r.ever have it again. " The illness which led to it began m the spriDg of 1892. My health appeared to give way all at once. I found myself tired, heavy, and feeble. My appetite w^vs 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 ha;- spoken of. " I soon became co depree 'a body and mind that it was with great\ % d strain that I attended to my bu\^ , A was extremely down-hearted and\.^«sle,i and none oi the many medicines I tried, did me qny real good, la December, 1892, Mother Seigel's 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 no 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 Seigel's Syrup quickly set me right. - Having had so convincing an experience of what ib can do, I recommend it to all my . friends aud customers. You can make such use as you like of this letter. (Signed), (Miss) Sabina Mitchell, Marcham-le-Fen, Boston, Lines, May 17th, 1895." "In March, 1892," writes, another lady, "my health began to give way/ I had lost energy, and was languid and heavy m feeling I had a sense of faintness and dizziness that was almost constant, and occasional spells of sinking which I cannot describe. Hot and cold flush e i came over - me, my mouth tasted^Jbadly, and after eating I had a feeling at the chest like the pressure of an actual load upon it. I never seemed rested, and awoke iv 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 W^arlv two years, no medicine that I took I^Jvin^S&sanyjX'lief. I Q January, 1894, I I '-, a smalloook and read mit of cases like B_^te having been cured by Mother Seigel's ■"Curative Syrup. I immediately procured I one medicine from '"-Boots' Drug Stores, and Bafter taking it about ten days felt much [ better. I could eat something nourishing k without any pain following. 1 kept on with I 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, Brandy— -Road, Batsmoor, Sheffield, March Bth, 1895." Touching the indescribable sensation alluded to by both ladies, an eminent medical author says : "It is syncope without the loes 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 I like a* pen leaves." i The cause is an acid poison iv the blood k I" 'uced by indigestion .or dyspepsia. The tdy is to purify the blood with Mother "**** Syrup, ana to tone the stomach m tme way. Use the Syrup on the Blppfdach of the earliest signs of weakness.

Tj^XPERIENCE is a bright bay colt white *-J star on forehead, and white hind fetlocks, standing 16 hands 2 inches h'gh.

His dam, Fanny, is by Tribune, out of that well-known trotting mare Fan, and bred by Mr Cameron, of Springfield. His sire, General Tracy, is full brother to Kentucky, being by Berlin (imported), dam Jenny Tracy (imported).

Any one can get this insurance for 25 cents, that being the price of a bottle of Chamberlain's C ilic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy.
