His successor's end was equally tragic. TTe was out walking on October 26.1780. Without any warning he stopped short, and exclaiming, "My®od !*• fell to the ground. Less than an hoar subsequently the nation learnt that heart disease had killed him. George hi Slbw A wit' George 111 had lost his reason, and hie death was expected a long time before it eventually came. On January 28, 1820, the heads of the Government ware hurriedly summoned to I the dying Monarch's bedside, for hie I physicians thought that in the final mom* ! onf a a ray of returning reason might flash across the patient, as id often the ease at such times- When twelve hours spent In watching had expired the old King opened his «yae, but, being blind, he could aofc see. He did not utter a sound, and sank back Into a deep sleep, from which he pasted Into death. The End of Geobge iv. A fortnight before George IV died he was informed that them was absolutely no hope for him. He teemed resigned, and asked for the Ministers, in order that he might m«ke preparations for his successor. On the night of his death, he was sitting up in an armchair, when a blood vessel bivke in his head, and he exclaimed, 'My God, lamdyiig?" His attendant* lifted Mm into bed, but he relapsed into a comatose condition, from which he only recovered at the fend, "This Is death," he murmured, and closed his eyes for ever. A Peaoefdxßbath. Peaceful Indeed was the passing of William IV.: He, too, was informed that he was dying, and his one desire was to have the Bible read fco him by the Qtteen. "Thank God I am able to hear such I eautifal words," he said, just before he sank into death. Then taking the Queen's hand, he lay back and breathed slowly. The end c«n» so imperceptibly that those around only knew of its arrival by the happy ensile that patsed over the sailor King's face. The phy»ician bent to listen to his heart sno found that it had ceased to teat. . a BurdenedLifo MRS VANSE'S~^A3FUL SUF FERINGS IN AUCKLAND. COULD RETAIN NOTHING ON HER STOMACH. NOT AN ORDINARY CASE. BILE BEANS, FOR BILLIOUS NESS KISDED HER SUFFER ING S.- Mrs E H Vance, who keeps a neat little store in Napier street, Auckl»&d t N. Z., should, under ordinary circum stances have been a very happy womae. Hut for some time during her life she was a martyr to debility and eick head* aches, and other ills, a condition indeed under which no one can possibly be happy. It was only to be expected that Mrs Vance should have striven to be cared. This she did, and imbibed a great quantity of patent medicines. She eventually took Bile Beans for billion* ness, and they having cured her, • representative was Bent to interview the lady, and she volunteered the following remarks.—My name is Mrs E H Vance, I was a martyr to debility and sick and nervous headache for soase time. So much so that life became simply a burden to me. I could' retain nothing on my stomach, and retching was a daily occurrence Beef tea would not even remain on my itomach A% times! became dizzy, and frequently found it impossible to stand without holding ori to something. My otse wa§ no ordinary one, and to effect a cure I tried many bo called remedies, but I had little faith in them, I was advised to try Bile Beans for billioisness, and I decided to do so; I commenced with half a bean as « dose, and I continued taking them until I need seven h>X«B t and can honestly Bay that they affected a cure, that to me, and those who knew me, is considered simply ffiamllonn. It is now six or seven months since I haw stopped taking the beans, and during that time I have only hai a plight attapk of retching. lam now able to tske my meals regular, and [with enjoyment—• circumstance, which at one time, I never Hoped to attain again. Occasion may come when you wish a medicine to thoroughly search out and get to tb« root of digestive ailment. If it doei, remember Bile Beans for billiousneei are the peoples popular priced prepari* tion. Their action is gentle—there in w griping—purging, and no evil «ffer effects. Their formula is purely vege* table, and Buch drastic ingredients «| aloee, calomel, and mercery, as found in most purgatives, are emphatically, and positively not employed,, even in the smallest degree. Thousands of New Zealanders have found Bile Beans an undoubted specific for biliousness, sick and nervous headache, indigestion, con stipation, piles, female weakness, pale faccdfgirls, bad;breatb, pimples, dizziness heart palpitation, fuliness after eating, and all liver and kidney troubles.
