A Pathetic Parting.

! A writer recently describod the light • hearted manner in which modern people say good-bye at wharf or station. He tells how folks set out a long pilgrimage with ' possibility of never, seeing - ; their friends again, and they say farewell as if it were quite a jolly -affair after all. There are still partings -at which anguish keeps the tongue quiet and the cheek wet. Butthero are partings'which should be uierry, part ings which we should celebrate like a wed ding. It is a pleasure to chronicle such partings, and consequently, wb make public the parting of Mr Michael Dwyer, Fern mount, N.^.W., who said a long.good-bye to acute indigestion. He speaks as i'ol ows:—" For many years I have been a victim to severe indigestion, dyspepsia, and loss of energy. I have tried many medicines. Some would make me feel well for a day, and then I would:be as bad as ever. There was a constant mist before my eyes, and like a ball of fire in my breast. I gave up trying remedies "nnd made up ray mind to have nothing to do with them; but I was induced to try onedoseof Dr Morse's Indian Root H*.]ls,;and I can inform you I was agreeably surprised in finding that they acted unlike other f medicines taken so often by me. I immediately pro cured a bottle, and since taking them I can spuak from experience and now recommend them as a certain cure fofc indigestion. They do not cause griping or pain, and Feem to build up ti;o wjhole system, at the same time cleaving ifcof.ii-1 bud substances. I am cured and my si«ht clear as of old.
