LIKE the thief at night, it steals in upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
mouth has bad taste, especially I'm the
morning A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite Is poor.
There is q feeling like heavy load on the
ton at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile cough sets in, at first
dry, but after few months it is attended
with greenish- colored expactoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest. After 9
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costive, the skin 10 dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
high colored, depOsiting a sediment after
standing. There is frequently splitting up
of the food, sometimes with sour taste
frequently attended with palpitation- OF the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There is feeling of
gfeat prostration and weakness: All OF
these symptoms do not make their appear
Ance at one time, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. 1t is
thought that nearly one-third OF our popu-
lation has this disc Ease in some of its varied
forms. It has been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature Of this disease.
Some have treated it for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis
ease, ETC., etc, but none Of these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. It is found, however, that the
SHAKER EXTRACT OF Roors (not patent
medicine), when prepared properly, will re-
move the disease in all its stages. Care
should be taken to procure good article.

characteristics Of the Servian People.

As to the people (the Servians) them
selves, they are a tall, well-formed race,
free, hardy and active. They are brave,
persevering and 'hospitable, cunning and
crafty in the pursuit of wealth, and fully
appreciate the advantages of bankruptcy,
with previous transfer of their property
to their wives and relations. This, how
ever, is owing to the state of the law on
the subject, which has been purposely
left incomplete in this respect with a view
to desp0iling the common enemy, the
Turk, whom they hate with most whole
some and wholesale hatred, which they
introduce on every possible occasion.
For instance, when the citadel and town
of Belgrade were evacuated by the Turks,
one of the Turkish stipulations was that
the mosques and minarets should not be
destroyed. This stipulation was observed
by the Servians; but at the same time all
possible means were adopted to help
them to fall into decay. Houses adjoin.
ing, and thus protecting them from wind
and weather, were pulled down, earth ex-
cavated close to the foundations and so on,
till, at the present moment, they are all
crumbling away, objects Of derision fof
the Scrvian youth, who faithfully do their
small share toward accomplishing the
final ruin.
But whilst their patriotism and
hatred of the Turk are kept alive
by the traditions, legends and stories
of the ancient glories of the Servian
Empire under Dushaw, and, it must also
be said, by their luminosity to their no
less hated neighbors, the Hungarians
whom at one time they even forsook to
join the Turkish alliance, there runs
strong vein of that sound common sense
through The Servian character that seems
peculiar to Servian populations every
where. They like to see their way clear
before them, and, having once done so,
follow it with logged pertinacity very
different from the flash the pan energy
of the Latin races. Thus they set about
with will on the improvement of their
roads; in every village there is well
built school, an inn with first, second and
third class accommodations, and hospi.
tai destined for the cure of the large NUM-.
Der of patients suffering from the effects OF
the diseases they accuse the Turks of hav.
ing introduced into the country-rather a
dogmatical and predetermined assertion,
by the way.
Justice, apart from such vagaries as
those aforementioned, and without refer
ence to foreigners, is fairly administered,
and their morality-certainly their hon
esty and freedom from tendency to theft
and piltering-are perhaps higher than
that of most agricultural communities.
They are excessively fond of music and
poetry; the Princes Band at Belgrade
would bear comparison with any other
military band; and they are great admir-
ers of natural beauty. But all their vir-
tues are considerably dashed-for the for
eigner, at least-by their overweening con-
ceit and national vanity, which fully equal
the Spaniards.-F5um a Letter in London

Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes OF

persons complain of dull pain in the side, consti-
patton. coated tongue, pain in the shoulder blade,
feelings of drowsiness and restlessness, the food

acidity and belching up of wind.
These symptoms usually originate from disor-

Persons affected, if they take one or two heavy
colds, and ii tina copgh in these cases be suddenly
checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged,
remaining torpid and inactive, and, almost before

In a lecture on coal Prof Brewer,
adopting the theory that the sun is the
fountain head of all force on this earth,
argues that when coal is burned we are
merely receiving the heat and light shed
by the sun on vegetation in bygone geo.
logical eras, the fact being that force is
never destroyed, being simply changed
from one kind of force to another. He
defines coal as a substance of vegetable
origin, made perhaps of swampy material
pally of carbon, with which are united
hydrogen and oxygen, together with some
earthly matter, its hard or soft character
depending on the amount of volatile mat
ter present.
