CURSES OF. .lNTERMARRIAGE.
Amietions Entailed upon the british Royal
Family BY Blood Marriages.

Affections Entai1ed Upon the British Royal
Family BY Blood Marriages.
e writer In America, discoursing on
the results of intermarrying, gives an
appalling list of the diseases and de-
.formities with which various members
OF European royal houses are afflicted,
owing to this cause. From mere facial
deformity UP to insanity, says London
Truth, there is scarcely any distressing
.afaiction with which humanity is af-
hicted which does not find a place in
the list. Very possibly this catalogue
may be incorrect, but experience un-
questionably proves the fact that there
is a degeneration in royal families To
a certain extent this may be due to in
ter1narriage, but L suspect that it is
still more due to the species of cult that
is paid to royalties from generation tn
generation, and which must in the ma
ture of things weaken their intellectual
fiber. Nothing can be moro mentally
injurious for man than to have all his
wishes anticipated by a crowd Of 2vco-
phants, and through life to find al
agreeing with him with whom he is
brought in daily contact, instead Of -
ing subjected to the discipline involved
in social equality. Just as we have ~.
the tails that were the anpenda~"e cs
our 'primeval ancestors because .r~a,'

INTO. disuse, SO all mental virility rratu-
ally disappears from families that 30

portunitv to exercise it. &C.,

What, now, is that mighty fact in
morals? Ask yourself the question.
What justice was there in the suffer
ing OF these two little children? For
whose sake was it, Why do the ma
jority of the human race die in infancy
and childhood? That bundle of laws
and forces called nature" has not pity
nor mercy. Obey and live; disobey and
perish, that's the whole story.
Then how does Mother Seigel's Sy-
rup cure? 1t cures by bringing the
diseased and suffering body back where
natures hand can reach it. 1t puts The
da'diled coach back on the metals, il
re-lduRcheS the stranded ship. The radi-
cal trouble of both Annie Alex
ander and Joseph Bond was of the
digestion, the first IA mere baby them
having been seized with acute indiges-
ton, and the boy having. as his faith
er tells US, been born with a feeble
stomach. Hence, in his case, the bad
blood and the assesses by which
nature sought to remove it. Will pa.
rents take warning from these in
stances? I hope so. Watch the little
ones and use Mother Seigers SyrnT
whenever you see them inclined tC

PLUMP AGAINST A BIG FACT.

business TO enforce lessons in ethics;
therefore, I commonly leave that re
sponsible task 10 those whose yoca-
ton It is. But no man can continually
write on the subject which constitutes
the burden OF these essays without now
and then running plump against a
mighty fact in morals. If you will be

that young girls mother, now 5 years
Of age. was a fine, healthy child up 10

and fall away. She had no appetite
and every particle Of food she took
came up. She lost strength rapidly,
and within q fortnight she was thin
as rake, being not much else than
skin and bone. For days and days
she laid IN 2 hsif-conscious condition
scarcely moving hand or foot, and %

attending her for four weeks. and he
said the child was suffering from indi-
gesJion. yet. so far as We could see. his
treatment had no effect. Ny husband
and !. and all that saw the poor baby,
thought she was slowly dying, and we
were almost heart-broken al the
thought Of losing her.
Nothing that We gave her did the
slightest good, and the child was fading
away, when one day, towards the end
OF April, lady called. and after see
ing Annie Jane, advised US 10 use

had known the lives Of many children
