BLACK CLOUD.

With the uncertainty of life is mingled the dark mystery
of death ) While on the one hand we catch the welcome
sound of a now breath of life that tells of an addition to
our species, on the other we shudder as we hear the rush-
ing wings of the Destroying Angel! The mighty voice of
the Great Influence which rules the Universe has pro-
nounced our fate; the dread fiat has gone for.h, and every
mortal man is doomed to die But, though we cannot
prevent, can we postpone death? The question is momen-
tous, even if it coecern the prolongation of life but by a
:Ingle hour, inasmuch as every inst,nct prompts us to fight
the boldest battle we can for this glorious boon of existence.
The promptings of instinct are but the spontaneous voices
o f nature rind it is our duty to obey. But there still re-
mains the question. can death be postponed by a single
hour? Yes; for the world works in obedience to certaiu
laws; and a study of these prove that those wh ) have the
judgment and the will to buckle on the shield, which
nature places ready to the r grasp, may ward off the insidi-
ous attacks of the implacable enemy of life, until in a ripe
old age, toe vital faculties gradual y decay, and the Angel
of Peace glides softly into our presence leading A, a, it
were, in a gentle slumber to the regions beyond the
shadow of the tomb.
The Fell Destroyer makes his first approaches in many
forms, but none are more favoured by him than that of
a deadly foe now preying upon the very vitals of Modern
Society. What is this foe? There are few among us who
have not been or are now to some extent its victims.
Would the reader know if he, t ro, is under the ban of thus
frightful scourge ? Let him ask himself whether he ex-
periences any of the following symptoms:
There are pains about tho chest and sides, and some-
times in the back. The mouth has a bad taste.. especially
In the morning; and there arc feelings of dullness and
drowsiness. The appetite is poor, a sort of sticky slime
collects about the teeth, there is a feeling as of a heavy
load on the stomach, and sometimes a faint, all-gone
sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become
cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at
first dry, but attended in the course of a few months with
expectoration of a greenish colour. The sufferer feels
constantly tired, and bleep seems, o afford him no rest-
Nervousness, irritability, and evil forebodings follow.
When rising suddenly, there is a giddiness, a sort of whirl.
big sensation in the head. The bowels become costive;
the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick
and stagnant; the whites of the eyes are tinged with
yellow; the urine is scanty and high coloureJ, clop siting
a sediment after standing- There is frequently a spitting
up ef the loud—at times with a soar taste and at others
with a sweetish taste. This is often attended with palpita-
tion of the heart or impaired vision, with spots before the
eyes, accompanied by great prstration and weakness.
All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought
that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in
seine of its varied forms. Medical men have mistaken tne
nature of the malady. Its true name is Dyspepsia or In-
digestion; for which a certain remedy is to be toned in
Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup—a medicine which has won
in both hemispheres a confidence founded only on its great
virtaes, The Syrup can be obtained from any chemist or
medicine vendor, ex from the proprietors, A. J. NV wee

"Dear Sir —lt affords me great pleasure to add my testi.
mony to the wonderful effects of Mother Seigel's Curative
Syrup. For a period of eight years I suffere a from a
severe cough and indigestion, with frequent attacks of
rheumatism; and for eleven months I was under medical
treatment, without deriving the slightest benefit. The last
four doctors I was under assured me that mine was a hope-
less ca' e, and gave me up as incurable. About that
time I heard of Seigel's Syrup, which I was induced to
try, and through its use, I am thankful to say, I quickly
got restored to health, and am now able to follow my
usual occupation. I may say that whenever I feel the
least symptom of my old complaints I at once take a
few doses of the syrup, which quickly sets me all right.

induced to give the Syrup a trial.—Yoars truly.
