Needless Alarm.

Whether the suffering which peopia 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, tiic 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 j eet up disorders in others which always j alarm the sufferer, and often perplex his i medical adviser*. These symptoms or sequences may relate to the head, the heart, the eight, the hearing, the lungs, or to other organs or functions, Take an illustration or two. ---•' In the spring of 1891," cays Mr Edward Tatham, " 1 fell into a low, weak state of health, I had a foul taste in the mouth, *nd was constantly spitting up a thick phlegm. My appetite waa poor, and after eating I had fullness and pain at the chest —the latter seemed to be puffed or swollen. What made me most anxious was my breath ing, which came to be so difficult and short that at times I could on'y 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 ia my throat and mouth. It was, 4 usually worse at night, and I got very little 'sleep on account at it; sometimes n- ne at all. In a morning I would be quite worn out. 11 Aa 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,* 1893, Mr William Beardsley, grocer, Cot manhay, told me how he had been cured of a like trouble by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Acting on his advice I got a bottle of this medicine from Mr Platt's Drug Stores, Awaworth Road, and after taking it felt quite another man. My bteathing vi&n 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 aa ever, being ftee from all pain or discomfort. My wife, who has suffered for years from liver complaint, has taken the Syrup with the same good re eults aa in my own case. You are at iiberty to make any use you like of this statement, (Signed) Edward Tatham, Tatham's Lane, Cotmanhay Road, llkeston, Derbyshire, March 21st, 1895." "In Octobe-, 1888," writes another, "I began to feel weak, heavy, and tired. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had distress at the stomach, together with s/wrt nesi of breath, and a good deal of pain across tbe cheat. 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 got 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. "In August, 1890, Mr Thompson, the grocer in Church Street, itrged me to try Mother Saigel's Syrup. After taking only one bottle I felt better. My food agreed with mo and I was stronger. Continuing with: this medicine, gradually all pain left me, and I completely recovered my health. Since then I have kept the Syrup in the' house for use iv time of need. You are free to publish this statement. (Signed) William Mallender, 71, Robinson's Buildings, New hill, 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 fche 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 ißrious, often fatal, results, Until pronounced and undeniable symptoms of organic mischief show themselves {which is not the case once in a hundred times) you may take it for granted that your ailment ia Borne form of dyspepsia, easily curable by Mother's Seigel's Syrup, aa demonstrated by the two instances cited above.

A UNIVERSAL CHRISTMAS BOX. f^\ IVILISED society recognises Christmas yj as the season of goodwill, and goodwill usually takes the form of a present. The present may only be a twopenny pictorial card with a greeting inscribed on it, or it may be something more valuable or nseful, according to the means and generosity of the giver* There aro some presents which are the reverse of profitable to the recipient. For instance, an elephant would hardly suit a citizeu who lived in a four roomed cottage with no back yard to speak of, neither would the gifb of the new Government steamer Tutanakei be acceptable if the recipient had to keep her in commission as a yacht.' Bub the beat of all Christmas presents, the one wtiich would be unanimously accepted with gratitude by every householder, be he or she wealthy or poor, is a box of Suratuba Tea, accompanied by the donor's hope of many happy returns of the day. Scbatcka Tea brings to the home cheerfulness and health. The hypochondriac recovers his spirits, the bilious subject becomes cheerful under its benign influence i here ia no known in stance of fcUBATUBA Tea being replaced in a household by any other tea after one trial, because its economy, purity, strength, aroma, and freedom from blending with Indian and China teas commend it without puffing.
