ORDERS AND ARROWS.

When the captain of ship orders some
hands aloft to furl the main royal the men
jump to obey, as matter of course. A
sailor can climb up on yard without hav-
| ing a shilling ashore or Penny in his
pocket. In fact, Jack seldom signs articles
III til he has used up both cash and credit.
But when a dOctor-who is sort of a
captain when one is lad up in The dry dock
| of illness-orders a patient to go abroad for
| the benefit of his health, it is quite another
thing A "Trip and sojourn away from home
is an expensive prescription, and most OF
u can't affort it. III the doctor says 1t is a
choice between that and the graveyard we
shall have to settle on the graveyard; it
is handy by, and easy get to But gre
we really 30 hard pushed? That Is, as often
a. the doctors say we are? Let's turn the
matter over in our minds for a minute.
Here is case that is pat to the purpose
1t concerns Mr.. Arthur Whiddon Mtlhuish
of Regents Terrace, Polsloe Road,
Exeter; and for the details we are indebted
to letter written by him, dated March
It'll 1898. III mentions that, in obedience
10 The orders of his doctors, he went to
Cannes. in the South of France, in Novem-
Der, 1890 and spent the winter there. He
also spent the following winter at the same
pl CT. e fel the bet erfor the change; we
will tell you why presently. Buthe obtained
q radical benefit, which also we will ex-
pIai later on.
l. ap rars that this gentleman has been
weak and ailing nearly all his life; not
exa tly il not wholly well-a condition
that ca Is for constant caution In Narch,
8, he had a severe attack of infamma-
ton of the lungs.

always strike ON the weakest spot, or spots,
in the body. Ii they hit the muscles and
iuints we call it rheumatism and govt; if
they hit the liver we call it liver complaint
OF biliousness; if they hit the kidneys we
ca | it hea It's disease; If they hit the nerves
we call il nervous prostration, epilepsy, or
any IF fifty other name; if they hit the
bronchial tubes we call it bronchitis. etc.
if they hit the atr cells zoe call IL inflammation
of the lungs, or Dy-and-by consumption.
And inasmuch as these poisoned arrows
pass through the delicate meshes of the
lungs thousand times every day it would
be odd if they didn't hit them-wouldn'tl
NV, wait bit; it follows that all the
various so-called diseases above named are
not disease at all in and of themselves, but
merely SYM toms of one only disease
namely that disease ichich produces the poison!
Good We will get on TO the end of
the story.
After the attack of lung Inflammation
Mr.. Melluish suffered from loss of appetite,
pain in the chest, sides, and stomach and
dangerous constipa ion. He could eat only
liquid food and had to take to his bed. For
W eks he was so feeble tnat he could not
rise in bed. He consulted one ply stefan
after another, obtaining no more than tenn
porary relief from medicine Then he was
ordered abroad as We have related.
His letter GUucludes IN these words:
whilst at Cannes con. ulted doctor.
who SAID my allment was weak digestion.
and L weed not trouble about my lungs. But
| never gained any real GROUND until
November, 1891 when I began to take
Neither Segel's Curative Syrup This
h. lped me in one week, and by continu ng
with it, / got stronger and stronger, aud
am now in fair good health Thi., after
my ielatives thought should neverr. cover.
(oigned) Arthur Whiddon Meliuish.''
To sum up this g-Dtlemen's real ailment
was indigest on and dyspepsii, from schich
the blood poison comes that causes nedrfy all
disorders aud pains. The air If Southern
Fran. helped him temporarily, because 1t
is milder than ours; it did not remove the
poison. BY care and the use of Mother
Siegels Curative Syrup, he woula have
done Deter at home, as the result shows.
So We see that it isn't The climate than
kills or saves; it is the condition of the d.
gestlon. If therefore your doctor orders
you abroad for your health, tell him YOU
will first try Mother Siegel's Curative
byrup.
