Antarctic Exploration Adelaide, January 15.

Professor Borchjfrevinck has ar rived. His object ie to enlist ■ympatby with his proposed expedi tion to the Antarctic regions during next year. Mininf Share Swindles.

York brothers have been arrested on suspicion of complicity in the mining share swindles. It has transpired they have been operating for some months, using the names of different well known investors. During the recent boom, when shares were steadily on the up grade, they cleared large sums, and were undetected, but when the ■lump came they defaulted. Inquiries aroused suspicion, and the brokers set a trap and had foundationless rosy tele grams about mines forwarded from Western Australia. The swindles fell in greviously. The brokers had com plained of serious leakage in mining telegrams by which tbe market was spoiled, but the telegraph department refuse to give credence to the accusa tion. One firm of brokers lost £400 by the swindles.

LpNposr, January 14

The correspondent of the Daily Ghronkte telegraphs that Mr Oiney has informed M. de Kotzebue, that If tfre Anglf? American arbitration treaty is ratified England will ally herself with America for enforcing the Monroe doctrine.

(Received January 15, 9.45 a.m.) Washington, January 14.

A canvass amongst the members of the United States Senate shows forty two in favor of the arbitration treaty. Twenty desire an alteration in the terms, and eighteen are opposed to its ratification It is considered probable IheVe will be much delay, and a. long debate in Congress over the question. Theifingoes are roused, and suspect that England haa some ulterior design in li miting the operation of the treaty to five years. Russian hostility and political animosity to Cleveland are considered likely to influence public opinion in the Uuited States with regard to the treaty. It is proposed in New York that the ratification be celebrated internationally.

Paris, January 14 !fh<B newspapers express satisfaction wilt the* Anglo-American treaty. Bbrlin, January U The Liberal and Clerical journals are favorable to the treaty. Vienna, January 14. The Austrian Press are enthusiastic over the treaty.

Press Association—By Eleotrio Telegraph- Copyright.

Constantinople, January 14. The foreign embassies here have re ceived information that a state of anarchy prevails in six provinces in nor'h-east Asia Minor. The Moslf-ms in these provinces are acting in utter disregard of all authority. The Young Turkeyites have issued a manifesto advising members to use arms, and declaring their duty ia to kill the occupants and burn the Yildez palace.

Mr T. Perks has just had fitted to his Fowler traction-engine a boiler-feed water heater, also a sight-feed lubrioator, both by Allinsonand Smaill, engineers, Christchurch. On trial they have worked satisfactorily, effecting a saving in oil, water, and coal, whioh is very desirable in face of keen com petition. The makers are prepared to fit engines at onoe in time for the threshing season.—(Advt.)

Needless Alarm.

Whether tbe suffering which people under go from disease is more physical than mental is a point not easy to decide. It depends largely on the nature of the disease, and the make-up of the individual. Experience seems to show, however, that in one prevail ing disease—indigestion or dyspepsia, tho two kinds of suffering are very evenly divided, and both very great, the mental distress being chiefly due to the illusions and deceptions which attend it. For ex ample, though dyspepsia is solely an affec tion of the digestive organs, it has power to set up disorders in others which always alarm the sufferer, and often perplex his medical advisers. These symptoms or sequences may relate to the head, the heart, the sight, the hearing, the lyings, or to other organs or functions. Take an illustration or two. " In the spring of 1891," says Mr Edward Tatham, " 1 fell into a low, weak state of health. I had a foul taste in the mouth, and was constantly spitting up a thick phlegm. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had fullness and pain at the chest —the latter seemed to be puffed or swollen. What rpade me most anxious was my breath ing, which came to be so difficult and short that at times I could only catch my breath by an effort. I was led to fancy that some thing must ail my lungs, especially as so great a quantity of mucus gathered in my throat and mouth. It was usually worse ab night, and I got very little sleep on account of it; sometimes none at all. In a morning I would be quite worn out. "As time went on I became very weak, and was much, put to it to get about, I took all kinds of medicines and got no pro per relief from anything. In February, 1895, Mr William Beardsley, grocer, Cot manhay, told me how he had been cured of a like trouble by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Acting or. bis advice I gut a bottle of this medicine from Mr Piatt's Drug Stores, Awe worth Road, and after taking it felt quite another man. My breathing was easier, and my food agreed with me. I continued using the Syrup, and got stronger and better every day. When I had taken four bottles I was as well as ever, being fiee from all pain or discomfort. My wife, who has suffered for years from liver complaint, has taken the Syrup with the same good re sults as in my own case. You are at liberty -. to make any use you like of this statement. (Signed) Edward Tatham, Tatham's Lane, Cotmanhay Road, Ilkeston, Derbyshire, March 21st, 1895." " In October, 1888," writes another, " \ began to feel weak, heavy, and tired. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had distress at the stomach, together with short ness of breath, and a good deal of pain across the chest. Sometimes I would be taken with sudden dizziness, as though I must fall to the ground. Cold, clammy sweats used to break out all over me and I trembled from head to foot. Finally, I gob so weak I could scarcely walk to my work. Indeed, I had occasionally to leave my work ; I have been away as long as a month at a time. In this way I suffered for about two years. •'ln August, 1890, Mr Thompson, the grocer in Church Street, urged me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup. After taking only one bottle I felt better. My food agreed with me and I was stronger. Continuing with this medicine, gradually all pain lef| me, and I comple\ely recovered my health. Si'pce then I have kept the Syrup in the house for use in time of need. You are free to publish this statement. (Signed) William Mallender, .1, Robinson's Buildings, New hilf, Wath, near Sheffield, October 11,

1895."

Cases of supposed disease of the heart, of the nervous system, of the kidneys, etc., constantly prove to be, not organic affections of those parts at all, but merely local or functional disturbances caused by the toxic or poisonous principles thrown into the blood by the decomposition or fermentation of food in the stomach; otherwise, by dys pepsia or indigestion. But until they are discovered to be so they are mistakenly treated;; and serious, often fatal, results, Until pronounced and undeniable symptoms Of organic mischief show themselves (which is not the case once in a hundred times) you tpay take it for granted that y oup ailment is some forjn of dyspepsia, easily curable by Mother's Seigel's Syrup, as demonstrated by the two instances cited above.
