FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1904.

CAUSE

AND

CURE.

HIS ailment has as many forms as the sunset has tints. Acute pain

sickness if awakened suddenly in the morning, recurrence of food with a sour taste, a feeling of hunger which disappears as soon as one sits down to a meal, but before a bite is taken gives place to feeling of Nausea-all these mean the same thing. 't's the stomach's way of telling you it's work is in arrears and it needs a little help. Bile Beans give that help. They permanently cure indigestion, as the following cas proves:-

Miss Francis Cox, of Turnpike Gate House, Truro, England, interviewed by a Cornubian and Redruth Times' reporter, said:

Since early childho d I was subject to acute Indigestion, accompained by severe headache. The attacks increased in severity, and my appetite became very had Every meal was followed by a bilious attack. I was seized with fits oftrembling, which made me feel deadly sick, My stomach became so weak that I vomited and retched, which throughly exhausted me. Because of these attacks, I was not able to attend school, more than two years in my life. I have fainted as many as three times in one day, and the pain I suffored was excruciating. Doctors' treatment could not give me relief. I was in this state when I read of Bile Beans. Soon after I commenced taking them my strongth began to return, and I felt bright and happy. Aftor a full course I was completely cured and I have since had no return of silments.'

Severe Fighting.

CHUMDI, May 28, News has been received from Tuns to- day from wounded Tibetans attending the hospital daily that a party of Tibetans, estimated at four hundred, are on the southern side of the Lhasss road, east of Lake Bambteo, and intend an attack upon the line of communication. The report is confirmed by a Tibetan leader who arrived at Tuna to-day wounded. The Tibetans strength is unknown at Hram, east of Lake Bambtso, Tho wounded Tibetans from Tuna add that a force of two thou sand Tibetans with jingals is advancing from Khambi Jong, against Tuna. Mounted Infantry patrols have been des patched to try to locate the forces. Tho posta are all alert and Colonel Hoy is readly. Special precautions are being taken to safeguard convoys,

Captain Parr, Chinese Commissioner, who arrived here yesterday from Gyantee, says the Mission post has been much strengthened. He had leamt the Tibetage were severely punished in their assault on the 5th May, and were now hesitating to attack the post again and intend to try in. vestment tactics. Captain Parr says the belief gains ground that a few Russian Mongolians are asssisting the Tibetans and one or two were killed fighting against us at the Kharo La on the 6th May,

The Tibetan losses were heavy. Thirty- Hoven prisoners were taken.

A convoy to Gyantse on the 24th was tired on from Nani village and monastery seven miles south of Gyantse. There were no casualties. When roturning on the 28th from Gyantse the convoy found Niani eva. cuated as a consequence of the successful attack on Palla.

Colonel Hogg, commanding the 32nd Pioneers at Kalatso, sent reconnoitring parties to Bambtso Lake on the 28th, but | found no enemy. Further parties are re

connoitring eastward towards Khamba Jong to-day. The impression prevails that the enemy reported south-east of Bambotso are merely brigands.

World's Remedy

Food, well digested, is the origin of strength. To be strong and healthy, assist your stomach, liver, and kidneys to do their work perfectly by taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, which contains food- digesting ferments and gentle tonics for the stomach, and has cured more dyspeptics than any other medicine in the

world.

SEIGEL'S SYRUP

"I suffered terribly from Indigestion," writes Mr. George

Collier, of 56, Baronia Street, Redfern, Sydney, N.S.W., on Oct. 11th, 1903. "Whatever I ate seemed to stick in my throat and caused frightful pains in my chest. Now, thanks to Mother Seigel's Syrup, I am never troubled with indigestion, pains, loss of sleep," or any other ailment and am as well as ever

before in my life." FOR
