A Short Talk on Being Tired.

!Aro you a working man, or a working woman'; I dou't mean cue who is so by c asainoaiiou, or by having been born on the sinister side of certain lines of social cleav age, but solely because you daily do some soit of real, honest, and useful work? Yes? I shake ycut hand. I hope you manage to live by it without overdoing, and that (be ing s ill hearty and healthy) you sometimes find yourself '.ired, dog-tiied, aud hungry as a Wiif, wit- plenty of good feed for supper, j Then hey ! for bed »nd a genuine sleep of eight hours ; to jump from bed m the moru- ; hip, both feet on the fl- or at once. That's ; the rifht kind of " tired" and the heaven- ' descended brand of test. It is a blessing m , itself, at;'! bears others m its tiain. Bul the variety of fatigue s<> many people are all the lime writing us about is different. L'Bleu to this one, for instance : "In Sep tember, 1893," he says, " I w^s overcome by a feding of languor. I wus easily tired and torn j aratively sight effons seived to ex haust me completely. Indeed I never seemed rested at all, and was as tired m the morning as when I went to bed. Both muscles and mind were inert and relaxed. At, the same t me my appetite seemed to be tired too. I had no relish for food, and after eating felt uneasiness and distress m the stomach and pain at the chest. My skin waa sallow also, and there waa a dull aching at my right side m the region of the liver. "I was constantly belching up a sour fluid, an Amy food would sometimes 'repeat 3 or rise into my mouth. All I could do to rectify this miserable state cf things I did, acting upon the suggestion of friends and others, but failed ro come across a remedy for my complaint, which meantime ob tained a stronger hold upon me. "Ou account ot my inability to eat and digest food my flesh fell o& until I became so thin you might have fancied me as having gone into a decline. And I was so weak I could scarcely get about. I remained m this condition month after month, unfit, of course, for work and virtually a man out of the world's fight. " The docior who prescribed for me pro bably understood my ease, but he waa not able, apparently, to cure me. And I notice it is m illness as m business; unless one holds his own he is bound to bo falling behind, which made me anxiou3 to obtain re'ief soon, lest I might pass beyoL-d the reach of it And m answer to the hope finally came the help I needed. " In July of last year (1894) I read about Mother eigel's Sj tup m a small pamphlet ( which was left at our house The book des cribed my symptoms perfectly, and etaed the disease to be indigestion, with dulnets ai.d inactivity of the liver, the latter condition a 'result of the form* r. The weak ness and loss of weight it exnlained, natur ally enough, to be the effect if want of proper rourishment. Cure the stomach I trouble m such cases, said an article m the pamphlet, and the custqueiues will vanish of themse yes. " On this I procured a bottle of the Syrup from Messrs Robinsou and (!o , chemists, Huntlct Carr, and a'ter taking it for a few ( days, I found myself much better. My food now ceased to give me pain, and I gained some strength with every meal. No better proof of the power of this medicine could I i ask. 1 continued the use of it; the bad symptoms abated, and no longer troubled , me, aud m a few weeks I felt aa vigorous I and well as ever I did. I could woik as i before and expeiienced that kind of fatigue which promotes rest and is relieved by it. I have since enjoyed good health, and you are welcome to publish this short account of my case. (Signer?) Percy Hardaker, 42, Wood house Hill Road, Huuslet Carr, Leeds, i March 29, 1895," I Mr Hardaker is agent for the Pearl Assur ance Society, and is well and widely known. His own inteiligenc comments on his com plaint renders auy words of outs quite I needless. In private conversation he said he looked upon that unnatural *' tired " feel ing as a warning that none should neg'ect. It means, not the effect of work, but of I exhaustion through that subtle di ease lin igestion Mother Seigel's Syrup should be taken then, as he would have taken it then had he heard of it. We iiope Mr HaHaket's timely wortie, based as they are on an instructive exp 'Hence, will be heeded by all to whom they apply.

He is said to have been m tears the greater part of the day succeeding his great victoiy, and pathetic indeed, is the exclamation attributed to him, "Believe me, there is nothing more terrible than a battle won, except a battle j lost." But who can describe a man's anger — controlled of course—where, every pre paration having been made for an urgent journey, everyihing is lost through the horse fa'ling 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 he treated with greatest consideration and kindness, and a journey was always a pleasure to me when my shoeing was under the persjtial care of ME KINGSTON. 2 17 PIPES.
