As regards the first, the phrase Pagan London is a phrase which I have myself used repeatedly any time during the lasf years.

There are se veral ench bommers at Esson, in Prussia, where the German Emperor's big guns are made, and ut Armstrong's foundry, by the river Tyne, in England.

I have looked at these hammers with admira- tion and awe They are things to take one's hat aft to.

Bt there wishes were horses beggars Dight ride.

Whether the Creator so intended it I cannot say, but every human life falls short of the ideal. Hero is an exact from a letter written by Mrs. H. C. Oosthuizen, who lives at Stand 875, Richt Street, Burghersdorp, Transvaal, on April 14 of this year, 1904, in which she tells you exactly how she suffered and what the chief symptoms were. If you are suffering from pains in the stomach. or kidneys, or from rheumatism, or have any of the symptoms she describes, it would be well for you to act on the recommen- dation she gives when she 'ells you what cured her. She says: For nearly fifteen years I suffered from kidney complaint. I was hardly ever free from rheumatism, pains and backache, I became so ill at last that while in the Women's Camp at Bloemfontein, during the war, I was taken into hospital and there remained for over two months. Tho treatment given me by the hospital doctors gave temporary relief and I was discharged from hospital. The roul conditious under which we were living at the time away from all home comforts did not tend toward building up my already shattered state of health. Having some friends in the camp who had been cured by Mother Beigel's Syrup, I visited them and from them heard the wonders of that remedy. I purchased two bottlos and began to feel my health improve. I continued using the Syrup until I was completely cared.'

There is no mistaking that story-it is a plain and simple one. But perhaps you would like to know more about the wonderful curative effects of this remarkablebedicine in another case this time the patient being a man, read the accompanying extract from written on March 27th, th's same year, 1904, by Mr. X. Narodien, of the Malay Location, Johannesburg. He says: For nine years I suffered from anvere pains in the vicinity of the Iddneys, lost my appetite completely, and could only inke milk and beef; anything more sub- stantial would not remain in the stomach. I] became oil that I was forced to take to my bed. A doctor treated me for almost two months, but without success. On arriving at Cape Town at the outbreak of hostilities, a Malay friend told me of the wonderful qu-lities of Mother Seigel's Byrup. One bottle relieved me, and now I am never without a bottle in my kopse.'
