Mother Seigel's Syrup is still the best remedy for stomach and liver disorders, because no other medicine acts so beneficially upon these important organs, or banishes digestive troubles so quickly and completely, Mother Seigel's Syrup, the ideal remedy for acidity, indigestion, pains after eating, flatulence, heartburn, headaches, biliousness and constipa- tion, is still the people's favourite, after fifty years' testing.

A harourt who lives and exeries on business in the North of Engalud has been swindled of £10,000 by an American “gold strike" gang, and there is file or na hoja either of bringing the swind lers to justice" or regaining the money, says the Daily Myst

The way in which the swindlers upes rate is so ingenious that business men fon both sides of the Atlantic have been duped with ease. "The methods of the gang were described, to a baile Mirit ve porter.

In the first place they find out that a relative of a wealthy American ur British business man has died. Then a latter is addressed to the dead man, tell- { ing ham of his good fortune, through lending financial support to a gold mine syndiente,

To this letter the Baronet replied on April, 2nd

Dear Sir-I received your letter dated March 12th. addressed to my brother [name of bruther here} of--

I know you will be sorry to hear that my brother died in July last year. He had only just" returned from holiday and was in excellent health

Your

letter, therefore, was opened by me, as his sole executor, and I cabled you immediately: "Letter March 12th received: writing."

Your letter is very interesting read- ing, and all I can say is that if you would like to meet me I should be very glad if you would come to the Plazi Hotel. New York, any time after May 3rd, as I am leaving for Americà où 8.9. on the of this month.

He entered a private room with the baroset, where samples of gold were dis played, and later money changed hands. A further meeting wax arranged at Chicago for the following day and on arriving there the Englishman found a letter awaiting tim marked "Urgent and personal" which said:

Nothing has been said by the baronet except a few of his friends, and no! thing, now is likely to be done in the aatter as the recovery of the money and the prosecution of, the men is well-nigh impossible.

The trick apparently dates from April 1908, when a letter starting." Thomas is quite ill and couched in similar term to, the one quoted was received by an ex-mayor of the West Riding of York

A representative of the ex-inayor went to the United, Staten. but suspected a trick and no money was lost. Another similar Yorkshireman also received a. letter later, but had fortunately heard of the fraud und took no notice of it.

REVIOUS Yadil' announcements have shown something of the wonder of Yadil" in the internal treatment of disease.

But Yadil is as potent and useful "for external us for internal use. Over all other anti septic substances it has the great advantage of perfect safety. Unlike iodine, carbolic acid, etc., Yadil' has not the slightest injurious, corrosive or destructive action on the skin or mucous mem branes. It does not stain the skin or bandages. and after application it has no smell whatever.

S a dressing for cuts, wounds, etc., 'Yadil' is unrivalled. It cleanses the injured tissues, prevents of destroys bacterial infection, produces rapid healing and makes. blood-poisoning impossible.

YORES and ulcers "of all kinds, even thougli they have lasted a long time and have not been benefited by other treatment, quickly. heal up and disappear when treated with "Yadil Antiseptic or Yadi Oystment. 'Yadil' also removes all offensive odour, even from the most foul-smelling ulcers and sores-a matter of great importance for the comfort both of sufferers and their friends.

TICTIMS of skin diseases of all kinds should

Vi

use Yadil' and 'Yadil' Ointment for dressing the unhealthy skin, and also take "Yadil by the mouth. Eczema, ringworm and other distased skin conditions disappear under this treatment, and, the skin becomes clean, clear and healthy.

B

UT the most wonderful of all the external actions of 'Yadil is seen in the treatment of burns and scalds. If pure 'Yadil' be applied immediately and the burn then smeared all over with 'Yadi" Ointment, pain ceases at once, no blisters form, and within a few hours no trace of the accident remains to be either felt or seen. "This wonderful property of Yadil' has been

described as "little short of miraculous."

Tis always a good plan when using "Yacil externally to take also a few doses internally." Apart from this, internal administration is an malaria, cure for effectual preventive and dysentery, cholera, sprue, enteritis, influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, and other infective Jiseases.
