Serpess was by an easier problem. Why should Mr Willisto Steal have written such a science as this it the fall of the leafer

year I got into such a state that I took no | Ficcsure in daything.

No doubt there are minds so highly strong as to feal henly the influsure of outward condi- tiens, changes of tho wouther end of the seabas, out so on. But they are raro,, and for practical purposen they ought to be rare. Our friend r Steel, happily for him, was not one of them. All the cute he was a miserable man every lime the leaves began is rattle to Die ground..

Here's the way he puts is?" "At the fall of the leaf every year I fel: langdid, tired and weary, and took no plenere in anything. My appetite was poor, and after everything I ate I had pai and fainosa at the chest and eiles. Then there was horrible pair at the pit of the stomach, which nothing relieved."

Now this sort of thing would spolla man's

pleasure any time of year, but the oddity in Ar

Every few houra I had to be pailliced, the quiz wat so bad. I went to bed did mayed thero fer a wock, with a dector attending me. He lived me a little, but somehow bo diin't ancceed in getting to the bottom of my ailment." That may be, m: it doe n't quits follow that the doctor was in the 'dark a to Mr Stool'a ailment. He might have auderstood it right enongb, yet failed to curd it because be had to remedy for it among his, drags. That happene all the while. Still, the reader may ask, What's the god of knowing the nature of a complet il we possent no modicino to eard it? There you have un; nos at all, to be sure!

Well, Mr Stool goes on to say: For some imo I condianed very feeblo, and one bordly able to walk across the Boor, Ila ka skert walk I felt so tired and done up I didn't know

Finally I read about the jopal.r medicine valled Mother Beigel's Carative Syrup, and made ap my mind to try it. So hegan and kept on with it for somo thee. The result was that the pain left me, and my appelite waked up, and my food tasted good and digested well; and pre- sently I was strong and early as ever. That was three yours ago, and the trouble has never returned. (Signed) William Steel. Danibletop, near Pakham, Rulandshire, Dec. 5th, 1800.

Mr Steel is grocer and postmaster at pm. bleton, and his case is well known there, Kis complaint isn't hard to see through; it was indigeation and dyspepsia. But why did it come on only in the untuum? What had the fall of the leaf to do with it? Let the reader study on that point.
