Dyspeptics,
nervous, debilitated, weak, languid, half-dead people will find fresh life, energy and strength in Mother Seigel's Syrup, because it does the only thing which can give per- manent relief-helps you to digest your food. Food is a strength-maker and health-maker, it must be digested. Discomfort after meals, pains in the chest and shoulders, head- aches, palpitation, flatulence, loss of appetite, these are sure signs of indigestion and are cured by
SEIGEL'S
SYRUP
"For many years I suffered greatly from obstinate indigestion and constipation, accompanied with giddiness and pains in the head. A friend strongly advised me to try Seigel's Syrup, and perseverance in its use restored me to health and strength." So says Mr. T. J. Hastings, of Bombowle, Tumut, N.S.W., in a solemn Declaration recently made before a Justy of Peace. Such testimony leaves no room for doubt.
Will cure you.

The Singapore Free Press of the 18th inst. says:-Correspondence regarding the design and size of the Straits Settlements dollar was laid on the table of the Council yesterday. Much of it relates to telegramá announcing the decision of the Legislative Council and the general arrangements necessary with the Treasury and the Mint. The official description of the new coin design is :—

The Governor recommended that it should be one-sixteenth sinaller diameter than the British dollar, with the Royal Standard or King's head on obverse and lion rampant on reverse, with the words Straits dollar' and date, all in high relief. The Secretary of State wanted to know why the smaller coin was suggested and the
'Smaller diameter very desirable to easily

MPURITIES IN THE BLOOD. We have seen hosts of letters from people who have received great bonefit from the use of Clarke's Blood Mixture. It cannot be too highly estimated, for it cleanses and clears the blood from all im-.. purities. This in a good testimonial from the Family Doctor, which goes on further to say: It is the finest Blood Purifier that science and akill have brought to light, and we can with the utmost confidence recommend it to our subscri- bers and the public generally.' For Scrofula, Scurvy, Eczema, Bad Legs, Skin and Blood Disenses, Pimples and Sores of all kinds, its effects are marvellous. Thousands of wonderful enres have been affected by it. Clarke's Blood Mixture is sold everywhere, at 25. Bd. per bottle. Beware of worthless imitations and substitutes.

The tide table given bolow has been compiled at the Nautical Almanac Office in London from the result of the analysis of observations taken by means of an au- 1 tomatic tide-recording machine in the Wa- ter Police Basin at Tsim Sha Tsui during the years 1887-8-9.
The zero of the table corresponds with the zero of the soundings in the Admiralty Charts which has been found to be 4 feet 3 inches below mean sea level.
