THE N.D.L. REPOTET,

At a meeting of the administrative council of the Norddeutsche Lloyd, held in Bremen on the 5th inst., it was stated that the Bret six months of the present year compared very favourably with the same period in 1912, due chießy to a considerable increase in the traffic on both the North and South American lines; with the exception of the mail service to Australia nearly all the other lines had done well, too. The financial position of the Company had improved materially, for, whereas the available funds at the end of last year had amounted to 51

Imperial Government, negotiations were now in progress, but whatever the result might be it was the intention to continue le fortnightly passenger service to the East and to resume the regular despatch of cargo boats to those parts. On the other hand, it had been decided to give up the chief Australian lines, which had been worked at a heavy loss, unless better terms could be obtained in Berlin, With a view to furthering the development of the colonial possessions the Company was prepared to continue and eventually rextend their lines in the South Seas, if a fair equivalent could be secured from i the Govermucent.

To feelverish" is to feel wretched, but to be really bilions, is indeed agony. Liverishness often becomes biliousness if you leave your liver to work out its own salvation. A few doses of a time-proved stomach and liver corrective and tonic such as Mother Seigel's Syrup is generally all that is needed to ensure the regular and even flow of bile so necessary to the perfect digestion of food and the regular daily action of the bowels.

it is a simple matter to take thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup in a little water whenever you feel a tendency to liverishiness or have partaken heartily of food that is liable to disagree with you; yet thousands of people avoid the con- sequences of biliousness and indigestion They keep a in just this simple way. bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup bands for use when needed.
