When you feel Limp and Languid,

When your head is dull and heavy, your tongue furred, your bowels costive, and you awake in the morning fagged and worn out, with no relish for breakfast and dreading your work, be sure your stomach and liver need help. Indigestion is poisoning your blood and sapping your strength. Mother Seigel's Syrup will cure you. It will purify your blood and restore vigour and tone to your system. Take it daily after meals.

AGEL'S STRUP

"I suffered for years from chronic indigestion and wind spasms," says Mrs. M. Moss, of 127, Quay Street, Ultimo, N.S.W. After eating, I was tortured with terrible pains in the chest and beneath the shoulders. I lacked energy and was languid and weak, especially during the Summer. Four months ago I was induced to try Seigel's Syrup and when I had emptied only two bottles, all traces of indigestion had vanished?

Will re-Invigorate you.

About the mid- dle of Fe ruary it became necessary to mortgage one of the steamers for the pur- poso of raising funds, and $15,000 was raised upon the larger steamer from the firm of Ming Tak, of whom Tsoi Heung Po was the principal partner. That money was used for building and general purposes by Piry and Co. On September 3 Chan Yuk Shing wrote to To Ching and told him to transfer the vessels from his name into the name of Piry and Co., in the books of the Harbour Office, but as he had not been paid Tso Ching did not do so. As a proof of the ownership of Piry and Co., Simon Piry engaged a firm of surveyors to survey the vessels and on their recommendations made certain alterations The question was who ther To Shing was justified in and the vessel over to the principal instead of the agent.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY

THERAPION

MARK

This successful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed

THERAPION No. 1

in a remarkably short time, often afew days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding infections, the use of which does irre parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases,.

THERAPION No. 2

for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotclics, pains and swelling of the joints, secon Jary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to em- ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of bealth. This pre- paration purifies the whole system through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.

THERAPION No. 3

for nervousexhaustion, impaired vitality, sleepless- ness, and all the distressing consequences of early error, excess, residence in liot, unhealthy climates, &c. It possesses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.
