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.

"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."

NO BILLS FILED.
In dealing with the charges against Li Tsai, charged with the defilement o` a girl under 16 years of age, and Chu Kui, charged with allowing the offence to take place, Sir-H, S. Berkeley, the Attorney General, said that since the indictment was filed he had communicated with the Principal Civil Medical Officer, and it was placed beyond doubt that the girl was over the age of 16 years. Ho therefore asked that the accussed be discharged by pro- clamation.
Tho Hon. H. E. Pollock, K.C., appeared for Li Tsai and also asked for his discharge, which was granted.
In discharging the woman, His Lordship said that he had heard that she kept a sly grog shop, and although in this case she was discharged, she must be more careful what she was about, or she would get into Troublo if she kept young girle about her premises.
Police-Sergeant James Frederick Lee, who was committed for trial on a charge of the manslaughter of Mr McGregor, whilst on a shooting trip, was called up.
The Attorney-General said that having rend the depositions he had come to the conclusion that there was nothing which justified the prosecution against Mr Loe,
