ONE TEACIIEE WE HAD.  Wuxi.; the writer was a schoolbey--a-laokaday! many a long year ago—we sometimes had a tetiens.r who possessed a genius for his vocation. rare men are," said Napoleon. Ilow rare tesehe are, say I. Most so-called teachers are mere worlmongere. They stuff the children's memories W;th phrases ; they plaster them all over with the lenses out of text-books. Dear, dear the thiag styled education is a good deal of a fraud, isn't it ? Well, one teacher we had, his name war Tonne, —he was a teacher indeed. He would often lay the books all aside and talk to us on the less n, vhatever it was, and set us to talking and asking questions. Goodness! how he did throw light on things. He made them "item like realities, nut mere theories; and so he got ideas of arithmetic, natural philosophy, botany, tbe. into our heels before yea could turn a handspring. Alt! but he was a teacher, not a stevedore. He sowed t minds with seeds, he didn't cover them with b awe Pity there aren't more like him. The world is full of subjects that oneht to to treated in his plain, luminous way. One of thesin is the appetite. People think they know what thy mean when they talk of their appetite. They would define appetite as the desire for food. And so far ti-.y are right. If your stove could let you know wit...n it !MAO more fuel, or lees, to keep pace with tie conditions of consumption, draught., itc., ye would be saved many mistakes in the supply cot coals. Now the digestive orgaus, taken togetlow, are a stove endowed with feeling. When they r quire feel (or food, which is fuel) you feel a .eusatien which you call appetite. When they require none you feel no appetite. What is the inference P This. Eat when you have an appetite and at no other time, no matter what your triende say or what the doctors say. Nature knows her business better than they know it. tti the thousand of letters received by us from peopm who have been ill, almost everyone ciontoine te element to the following effectr "My appmite wee poor," "My appetite failed," "I had no appetite," "I loathed even the thought of eating," Ate. When you think of it, these are very sugg,etive words. Ni appetite means no food; no toed no nourishment; no nourishment failure of the whole body; slow starvation; death. Every disea.e, no matter what name it goes by, kills at last by starvation. This is a fact, a fact, a fact. If you don't belie,e it you haven't thought deep enough to under..tand it. A lasting failure of the appetite is as dangerous as a cup of poison. It will :twat produce poison, and scatter it through your body tike cholera germs in water. So look out. But why does the appetite fail ? Why does wise Naturr commit suicide ? She doesn't. I'll show you who: she does. Take a case --that of Mrs. Mary Ant Oritehley, of 179, Martin Street., Leicester, who writes under date of May 10th. 1893. "Fr many years," she toys, I was ill. My skin was sallow and the whites of my eyes turned yellow. My appetite was poor, and after eating the simplest food to sustain life, I suffered great pain. By stomach wits empty and yet food seemed loath. seine to me. In Idaroh 1892, I had a dreadful ans. k I could scarcely breathe, and had to give up all work. By and by I got so weak, that! could e. elk only a few yards without stopping to rest. The doctors and their medicine did me no good.'' Aud so she goes on telling of how one bad thing followed after another. Now can we see wFy tne appetite failed ? It was because the stomach was ie each is condition that food would have done harm instead of good. The digestive organs were sore, inflamed, torpid, and virtually dead. They had knocked work. When there is no water to turn the mill what's the use of putting grist in the hopper Nature was right, as she always is. "Cure the indigestion and dyspepsia with which your careless habits have afflicted me," said Nature, " and I'll let you eat again. If you won't do that You must ,aio of starvation—which the doctors will call consumption, very likely." Bo Nature talked. " A neighbour," says Mrs. Critohley," told me of Seigel's Syrup. I used it and two bottles completely cured me, and I have been in good health over since. Now what does all this sum up /AP It sums up tbis. When your appetite fails, and you have one or more of the other symptoms mentioned, you are to conclude that Nature is whispering two words in your ear--fedieestion—dyspepria." And your teacher—whoever dismisses the class—adds three of his own: take Mother Seigel's Curative Syruispi.  Th GzieteVillg Wonder in Medical Science I _  T .
