The Man who Knows the Road.

He drives directly home, even m dark nights, does the man who knows the road, 'lhe overhangiug gloom, the deceptive shadows, the uncertain sounds, don't bother him. He can feel the ground under his waggon wheels, and the " lay ot the laud" is open to him as at ciear noontide. It is the stranger iv those parts who is confused and befuddled, who knocks people up to assk questions, who finally lodges iv lhe ditch. Where to go, and how to get there ; what to do, and how to do it—why, the man who knows that comes to the front eveiy where and always. But the opposite—t be waste of time, money, power, health, &c, m bliuu experiments, how disheartening and disas trous it is ! Take au illustration of this sort and \ou will see how it ills iv a minute. "In the Spring of 1892," says a lady who lives down ntar the east coast, " I begun to feel ill. 1 had a poor appetite, and after everything I ate, no mailer how eimpie it was, I whs seized with gre.it pair, across the chest and around the sidcß I waa frequent ly sick, vomiting a sour, bitter fluid. I waa almost afraid to eat, ami my food gave me no strength- In this state I continued, now a bit better, and then wori-e uutii December, 1893, when 1 became very ill. I got so weak I could hardly bear the weight of my body on my feer. I tried this und i tried tr.at—all kinds of medicines 1 heaid of, 'put none of them gave me any relief. " In Jai.mry, 1894, I read m a little book about the cures done by Mother Se:gel's Syrup. The book continued letters from people who had been cured, some of whom had suffered like me. 1 got a bottle faom Miss Caroline Foster, grocer and draper, High Street, m thiß place. After taking it I was much better. 1 had a new relish for food, *nd no more distresss after eating. I continued taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, and waa soon free from all pain and tickuess aad fa-t gaining strength, Since then I have been m the best health, and needed uo medicine. (Signed) Mrs. Klewor Clay, Mewngham, Biug, Lines April 30,1895. " In the early part of 1875, " writes an other, "my health began to fail me. I felt low and weak, aud lost all power and dis position to exert myself After every meal I had paiu m the chess and ail over me. I felt so tight around the waist that it seemed as though something was holding me. I was much troubled with a sickening wind coming up from my stomach; and now and then I belched up a sour fluid that bit my throat and half choked me. Then, too, I had attacks of spasms, which gave me intense paiu. I got about my work slowly and m much distress, and grew gradually weaker and more despondent m mind. I tried all the various medicines I could hear of that might possibly be good for me, but none of them were of »ny avail. •' After five tedious years of suffering, my daughter, who is m service m London, wrote me of the benefit her mistress had derived from the uae of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup when troubled much as I was. I re plied, ond my daughter sent me two bottles of the Syrup, and after having taken it, I felt quite like a new woman. I had no I pain after eating, and was m better health than I had been m since I was first taken ill. From that time onwards my health was good , and if I ail anything temporarily, a3 the beat! of us will, a few doses of Mother Seigei'e Syrup put me right. I have told many persons of what this now celebrated remedy did forme, and am willing you should publish j my statement if you desire to do so. (Signed (Mrs) Ann Knight, near the Church, Fenno iVmpton, Lsair.ington. September 27 1895." By looking back to the italicised words m these letters the reader will catch my point ov the instant. Both these ladies not know ing the true remedy for their disease (indi gestion and dyspepsia), blindly experimented with anything they could get hold of. Under like circumstances we all do the same. When one doesn't know the road he is almost certain to blunder and stumble; and he can't know until he learns. Now, m all ailments of the digestion, with the local symptoms which proceed from it. Mother Seigel's Syrup is, bo to put it, the right road. Follow it faithfully, and you are fairly sure to bring up m the pleasant shelter of good health. Kuowing this, direct your nei^h hours.

LAWRIE, SAUNDERS' BUILDINGS rjIHE Duke of Wellington carried a tender JL heart beneath a stern appearance. He is said to have been m tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victory, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed lo him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle lost." But who can describe a man's aDger —controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, eveiy.- ' is lost through the horse falling lame, and the man—always the man—is the object of our pity. The horse's unuttered sufferings are rarely thought of, beyond the removal of the shoe (often unskilfully done) and an imprecation upon the blacksmith. The owner ought to consider his servant's comfort, who, could he speak, would say, " i uttered no com plaint until forced; I used to be treated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the persjnal care of MR KINGSTON. 2 17
