It is very gratifying to loarn that there is no foundation for the report. which became current almost immediately after the calamity, that the formidable explosion was due to malevolence.

all else had failed. The trouble which allicted her was biliousness, and only those who have. actually experienced the botters of that crust dizoase can realise what suffering Mrs. Mardle endured. The torturing headaches, the dizzy. weeling sensation, the awful strain of vomiting, and above all the dull, weary helpless, bopeless feeling these ra 1st be felt to be understood.
CONCENTRATED ANGUISH.
"I hel suffered with bilipusness from my very childhood," says Mrs. Mardia, "and never could get rid of it entirely. Some time ago I had a very bad attack. I felt terribly weak and run down, and there was a constant pain at chest and in my back. I was so dizzy at times that I could hardly stand, and was often on the point of fainting. At night I used to wake up feeling ab, so sick; and when I had thrown all that was on my stomach I was in a state of collapse, while my head throbbal as though it would barat. I was dreadfully constipated all the time and could get as relief for thie at
all.
"I kept trying one thing and another, get ting no botter, till at last I began taking Mother Seigel's Syrup. Then I improved. The sickness all went, and the pain tum. I continued to improve and in a surprisingly short time was completely cured. I have imen
well ever since."
