A Bit of the Truth.

The most pertinent and startling qaei tfon ever a&ked is this :—*'What 1 truth V . A Roman Governor pronounced Its ono« under circumstances which greatly worrle and perplexed his official mind. And h was nob the first man or the last—nob b; myriads. So far as I know there ha been no ■ satisfactory answer. Scm people (radicals and come-outers of vari v sorts) fancy that in th's, the tail end of rather braggart and conceited century they hare flushed a fair-s zed covey o tsu^l s by firing speculative shot-guns int i evp-y wayside bu'h anl b'g. But hhve they do «« *> ? g nl rpader, no. They have put up <.ro*s »n< sparrows, the same crows that p.tked th bones of the care dwellers and the sam< sparrows that sold two for a fan hing ii lie time of Pilate There were plenty o fools of 0 d, and there are plenty bow The ancient doctors, inceed, prescribe some horrible staffs as medicine:—th**] used electuaries of viper's flesh am recommended pomegranate seeds foi i toothache because those seeds resembh human teeth* Very shallow and silly, tc be sure, this §oun-?s to bh. Bat if yot Wanted to find things that come verj near mitching them in modern practice, I could show you where to look On mj table 1 have a list of al out 300 new remedies introduced to a world within the pasb t welvemon h. " Must be some good ones among them," d »yon say ' Possibly. Time will tell. Meanwhile let us stick to whatever wo are sure of. " We learn hojr to cure diseases," said Gel&us, "by experience, nob by reasoning." " Some of the greatest truths in medicine," said a learned Scotch doctor, "came by the humblest means; not by synthesis or venesection, bu 1; by the observations of peasants and the experi ments of motherJy women." Concerning a, medicine discovered by one such woman, thousands of stories have been told and letters written. Here is an example : - ••IWmany years I have suffered from indiges'ioa and weakness. I seemed to have no energy for anything. I had a poor appetite, and what little food I ate caused me violent pains at the chest and between theshouldeis Frequently I had attacks of giddiness, mi when stooped I suffered from an unnatural rush of b'ood to the head. Tha pain which I was called upon to bear was often very severe; it effected all parts of my body, and at night I got little proper and refreshing sleep on account of it; " As time went on and the complaint grew fixed upon me, I came to be exceed' ingly weak, and now and gain was obliged bo take to my bed. I lost flesh and became thin, living, as I did, only on milk, L>eef tea, and other kinds of liquid food [t will be understood, of course, that I had medical care» besides attending the 3om h London Dispensary. Ypt I received no benefi: from what whs done for m \ •* It happened that in January, 1889, a friend, Mr Pollen, to"d me he had suffered in a similar manner and been cured by a remedy cal'ed Mother Seigel's Syrup. Acting on his stjggestion I got a bottle, and after having taken it I found great relief. Presently my appetite returned and food ne longer distressed me. Con vinced that Mo.her Seigel's Syrup was adapted to my ailment I continued the use of it until it was no longer needed My health and strength were re-rstabliahed, and I have since been well. This medicine had done what no others had been abla to do. My husband, who suffered from blHonsnes*). used it with the i-ame resulb. Ycu have my free consent to pubJieh this brief statement if yon desire to do so."— (Signed) Mrs Julia Massey, 131, Lorri more Road, Kennlngton, London, S.E, January 20th, 1898, There is no royal road to the discovery of truth or knowledge. Anybody may find it anywhere. It Is not always he who seeks that finds. Valuable discoveries are usually made by whit, for lack of a better word, we call accident. The medi cine that cures is the medicine we wanb, no matter whether it is old* as the earth or #as picked up yesterday in the fields by a child. That Mother Seigei's Syrup cures is proved by a cloud of witnesses. It is a bib of the truth. Therefore It will not die out, and nothing can take its place.
