THE BIG PRIZE TURKEY.

— • :— ---** A Merry Christmas, Bob," said Scrooge, with an earnestness that) could not' be mistaken, as he clapped him on the back. " A njerr«tr Christmas, my good fellow, thin I have given fuu for many a year. I'll raise your salary, and we will discuss your affairs this afternoon over a bowl of emokiug bishop. Make up the fires and buy another coalscuitle, Bob Oratfihit."

And as to the big prizs tmkey which the regenerate Scrooge sent to Camden Town, do we nnt ail know what sort of bird it was ? That turkey never could have stood upon its legs, Mr Dickens says. They must have snapped short off liktj sticks of sealing wax. How they man aged to cook and eat that phenomenon the author doesn't say, as it was twice tbe tiza of Tiny Tim. Set they dfd it some how, and ib was a mercy if tha family (previously half starved) didn't ttll fall iii of the unwonted gorging of that wonderful Christmas d; y. Even assuming (as we easily may) that the transmutation of an old skinflint like Scrooge into a high priest of charity w&e quite beyond the common run of modern miracles, and that dinners from such sources are as rare as they are welcome, it still remains true that human nature Is apt to be at its best at Christmas, especially m England %here, of all countries m Christendom, most is cnade of that' gentle and kindly holiday. Yet, sad to tell, the very jollity and generosity of Christmas leads to regretable excesses. People eat and dink too much, and snffer accordingly. The roast and the boiled, the mince pie 9, the plum puddings, the tremendous flushings of wine, beer, and other beverages, these things overload the stomach and give the digestion more work than it can do, and punishment follows. For Nature has no favourites ; she treats those who violate her laws on the 25 h December exactly as though they had committed the offence on the first Monday m August.

And as te the chronic dyspeptics, of whom there are enough m this old island to cram all the parks m London, thty catch it feat fully about Christmas time. For, m spi c of all warnings, they will go m for heavy meals and take tho chance?. Often the penalty is an acute attack which may threaten life, and nearly always weeks of pain and digestive disorders, whereof there are as many kinds as the body has organs ana functions.

To them Christmas may be "me^y" for an hour or two ; then their merriment turns into misery, as October foga and rains succeed a hot sumiaer.

Now the writer b fai from advising a free indulgence m the gustatory and bibulous festivities of the country's most popular holiday, but there Is no use protesting against the fixed resolution of the people to enjoy themselves on that occasion. The customs and traditions of centuries are behind it, and you mighb as well whistle m the teeth of a north-east gale.

As a prophylatic and a cure for the evils alluded to, I can only recommend the universal use of Mother Seigel's Syrup, known to all as the best stimulant and digestant m the world.

In a letter dated January 10, 1899, a gentleman of Birmingham, who loves the pleasures of the table, and has money enough to bay whatever he wants, writes thus: —" It is only fair that I should tlnnk you, as I do with all my heart, for the good done me by Mother Beigel's Syrup. For years I have been vexed with indigestion, and always had a tormenting spell of it after any public banquet or uncommon intake of rich food. Still, I was seldom able to resist tempta tion, although I understood perfectly well what yielding to it was sure to cost me. 1 have sought a preventive or a cure m vain at the hands of the best physicians, all of whom assured me that there was but one way, namely, to live on a low diet, and let luxuries alone

" But this did not suit me, and I broke through the regulations frequently, with the inevitable results. However, when I began to use Mother Seigel's Syrup I had (almost) a license to do as I pleased. After an inviting but most risky dinner last Christmas I took a double dose of c Mother Seigel,' and scarcely suffered at all. I told nay experience, and a dcaan friends adopted this amazing remedy sight off, J am convinced that, with a

Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, " Vitadatio." has been the sold means of saving my life I lhii<k the leasb I can do is to hand you this testimonial, co that others suffering the same as myself may know that there is a cerUin reliable cure for them m " Webber's Vitadatio," if it is only given a fair trial. The simple facts of my oasa are as follows: —For the past 10 years I have been under rhetreaHnentof doctors m Fitzroy and S\ Kilda, as well as some of the best m Collins streeb Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, whilsb others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let alone cure me. You can easily imagice that I had little hope of ever being cured. But one day I noticed an advertised cure by "Webber'a Vitadatio," and the symptoms of the patient being somewhat similar to my own, I though b I would give it a trial, with the result 'thab much taking only two large bottles, I felb after better, and continued the medicine. Hy the time I had taken eight bottlei I wan wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vomited up a lot of slimy matter, which was afterwards examined by the dootor, and pronounced to be Hydatids. I continned lo vomit these " Hydatid* " for some time, but at last it died away. Thit naturally left me weak, but I continued with the "Vitadatio," and gradually my strength returned, until to-day I can honestly Btate I have never felt better m the whole of my life. I consider " Webber's Vitadatio" a miracle-worker. I am well-known m Fitzroy, and there are many others just as much astonished at my cure as I am. I shall be pleased to speak to anyone and give them my own experience of the worth ol II Webber's Vitadaiio." You are at perfect liberty bo make what use you like of bhii testimonial. I may add I am bow able to do all my own household work ; a thing I have been unable to do for yea«.-—Youra very gratefully, Mrs) CARRIE HOCKING Witnesß-G E Richardson, 19/9/99 !
