INVESTED ONLY 7/6.  There ix a man who ham spent the pant twentyfive years of his life exploring for gold and minerals in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, and New Zealand. lie has no doubt picked up some money, yet he says that the investment of 7/6 brought him in bigger returns than soy other he ever made.  other I  Yet, hold on a minute. Don't let us jump to the ..xinclusion that we tan all get rich out of the proceeds of 7/6 till we hear further from this financier. He hoes humorous way of putting a serious thing, for which we should like him all the more. Some folk have no idea that sound sense and genuine fun are twin brothers, but they are all the same.  Our friend's name is William Bromfield Peek, and he lives at Binomial, New Zealand, a long way off. He says it is a lovely country and intends to stay in it the helium of his days. As he landed in Australia, from England, in 1866, be has been there long enough to know whet be is talking snout, He advises persons of limited means who would like to become small landholders to emigrate to New Zealand.  Still, he reminds Us that in the end we must pay for what we get. " The calling of a prospector, for instabce," said Mr. Peak, "is full of bard work. Besides, it entails rough living, such as salt junk, eeddeoed damper, with tea in bucket-fula. One must have the ibgestive capacity of an ostrich Cr an anaconda to stand thal diet for lung. It must therefore be taken as proof of the good machinery inside of my system, when I mention that I actually stood it for nearly twenty-five years. "My punishment was delayed, you see, but it didn't fail. At last the climax CAM, and I was prostrated with agonising pain in the stomach and all the other symptoms of a profound derangement of all the digestive organs. I had to knock off work and cease all exertion. I was imbued with disgust with all things mundane. .1 believe that dyspepsia is responsible for a large portion of the world's suicides !"  Mr. Peck's conjecture is exactly parallel with the fact as set forth in the statistice of all civilised countries. No other disease so demoralises and depresses hon3an nature. It attacks the secret strongholds of the reason and drives people insane ; it stupefies the sensibilities; it turns men and women into selfish, useless nuisances ; it impels them to commit crime. All this in addition to their own desolation and suffering. Yea, Mr. Peck is quite right.  But to get back to what he says about himself. "At the advic.e of a friend—Mr. W. Williams, of this place—l began to take the far-famed Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. What result did it have? I'll tell you . It has transformed me from a prenta• turely old man into one quite regenerated. "1 am a rapid eater and can't break myself of the had habit. Hence I make it a point to keep • bottle by me always and an occasional dose when necessary to set me right.  "I can safely assert that the investment of 7s 6d in Mother Seigel's Curative SYrtIP was the best I ever made in all my caequered career. You may depend that I prescribe this medicine to all and sundry people I come in contact with. Prior to using it I spent pounds at different times, but only got partial relief. The Syrup seems to make straight Jar the seat of the trouble. I pen these lines just to show other sufferers the way out. There are any number of respectable persons here who can •ttest the truth of what I have written.—Respectfully (Signed) WM. BROMFIELD PECK, Russell, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, July 2.nd, 1892." We dot call for witnesses. Mr. Peck's tale is frankness and truth itself. We hold out our hand in greeting across the sea. Dyspepsia is a living death, and Mother Seigel gives new life. Millions sing that chorus. But he had better eat slower. Write again and tell us you are doing so, Friend Peck.
