A perplexiog mystery of a fw years ago was the garious property of Japanese magic mirrors, which, as is well known, reflect upon screen the designs engraved upon their backs, although the polished reflecting fuos are quits plaue and free from any visible figures. It is now pretty well proven that the peculiarity is due to unequal resistance to flosure during the polishing process, A late experimentar, Thomas Thorp, has reprodaeed one of these mirrors in methods of grinding and polishing instead of bell-motal, using-with muchpros are-ordinary the Japanese method of scraping with pressure, ord the reproduction is an improvement upon the original. Another mirror, made with caro to avoid flexure, was quito free from the magic property.

not been for Mother Seirel's Carative Syrup I doubt. whether I should be alive today. For year or two before I broke down; I never knew what it was to have a day's good health. I was always ailing. The least exertion tired me, and I felt drowsy, despondent, and misemble. De- dinarily, I had a very good appetite, but just then my food begun to disagree with me, and 1 felt uncomfortable after it. There was a fulaese and distension of the stomach that seemed to affect the heart. My breath was very short: Finally, a pain settled in the chest and under the left shoulder. I ought to have attended to it at once; but unfortunately neglected to do so, cou seg ently the disease developed. I had always au unpleasant taste in the mouth, and my tongue was dry and purched. My apposite, hitherto good, was now very poor, and after forcing myself to eat Ipften had violent pains in the stomach, and used to break out intoa cold parspiration, feol. ing so chilled that I shivered from head to foot. My condition becoming so serious. I consited a doctor; but in spite of all ko did for me I grew worse, and at the end of six weeks was advised to go into a hospital at York. There I was treated with great kindness, but I think my case. most have puzzled the doctors for, after detain- ing me eleven weeks, they sent me away uncured. Then began the most panful period of my illness. When I got home my mother was shocked at my appearance. She has sinies said that she believed I had come home to die." I was troubled with obstinate constipation, my ticep was broken, and when I lay awake it sveined as if the bed were suking under me. Night sweats robbed me of the little strength
I had left, and I was soon to weak that I could scarcely welk across the rup. To go up-stairs, was only with the greatest difficulty that I got I had to erairl on my hands and knees, and it down to the sofa again next day. Thus I was for three years a confirmed invalid.

first; but in the end I found myself as bad as
EVUT. Almost in despair, and as a last resource I tried Mether Seigel's Curative Syrup. Ab, if only I had tried it before! I began to mend as soon as I had taken half of the first bottle. My appetite improved, slightly it is trae, but what Late agreed with me. The night sweate ceased, and gradually strength returned, so that by the aid of a walking stick I could get about. My convalescence was a long one, but by persevering with the Syrup, all the bad symptoms left me, and I was able to resume my work again. My present employment in a very arduous one, compelling me to expose myself to all kinds of weather; still, I feel nabe the worse for it. Balieving that it may benefit some other sufforer, I regard it as my duty to these facts known, And I make this sole declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true.
