THREE FORTUNATE WOMEN.  We will introduce you to the older one first. Her name is Mrs. Jessie Russell, and she lives near the city of New York, in America. She was born in London in 1787, and is therefore 105 years old. She remembers many incidents of her childhood, and still has traces of former beauty. Her eyes are bright and become animated when she talks. She retains her mental faculties completely. She descends two flights of stairs to every meal, and returns without aesistance. Up to three years ago she was a regular attendant at the Greenwood Baptist Church. Her sight is exoellent, and she reads the newspapers every day, and takes great interest in the news from England. She has never had any severe illness in her life, and her appetite and digestion are almost as good as they were fifty years ago. The second woman save "Ever since I was a child I have suffered from illness. Thirteen years ago a tired, languid, and heavy feeling came over me. The whites of my eyes became tinged with yellow, my skin was sallow, and my hands and feet were cold and clammy. My month tasted badly, especially in the morning, and I was often sick, vomiting a soar, frothy fluid. I had a pain in. the chest and sides, heartburn, and flatulency. For four years I suffered like this, and I shall be glad to recommend the medicine that finally cured me. (Signed) (Mrs.) FRANCES EMILY 131(ITH, 49a, Woodhouse-street, Leeds, January 25th, 1892. The third woman says; "I have been delicate all my life. For the past six years I have always felt tired, languid, and weak. I had a poor appetite, A bad mste in the mouth, and pain after every morsel I ate. I was dizzy, and often felt as if I was going to fall. I always felt sick, and would retch and strain, but could bring nothing up. There was a dull pain at the right side and a dreadful pain between the shoulders. I never knew what it was to be well. After being on my feet for a time my legs would swell very much. No doctor was able to help me, nor any medicine; that is, up to the time I took the one which gave me my health bank. I never felt so well in my life as I do now." (Signed) (Mrs.) SABAH SHARMAN, Glinton, near Market Beeping, February 19th, 1892. Why do we put three women in a group— the one venerable woman in America and the two others here in England? They are perfect strangers to one another and always will be. We do it to show how long and happily a woman may live if she only happens to escape the malady that everywhere threatens her sex; and also to show that those who have been burdened and cursed with it may be cured and once more taste the joys of health. Mrs. Smith concludes her letter in these words:--" After taking three bottles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup all pain and sickness left me, and I knew no more of the ailment that had troubled rim so long, indigestion and dyspepsia. I know others who have benefited by the Syrup. All sufferers should use it." Mrs. Sharman adds that after she had doctored and doctored and taken everything, almost without getting any good from it, Mr. Webster, a grocer of Glinton, said, "Why don't. you use Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup?" She acted on his suggestion, and health weal lung in coming. "1 cannot speak too highly of Seigel's Syrup," she says. We should agree with her in that opinion, for a remedy that will in a few weeks pat an end to a ease of chronic indigestion and dyspepsia is certainly worth a good word or two. Now here you have these three Englishwomen—one so fortunate as to have lived more than a century without an illness; and others (still more fortunate) have known the sadness of suffering and the pleasure of recovery. Oh, my! oh, my! how hard it is to tell who is best off in this queer world.  How that Frame Snits the Picture! Yes, we had le made at Gus. INNDERDINICS Royal Studios. Adelaide-place, Illackpool.

IMPORTANT TO LADll3B.—C4reets have the greatest Influence on health and figure, therefore too much care cannot be spent in their selection or manufacture. S filooun's Corsets are the daintiest of Corsets; the judgment shown in their manufacture and adaptation to the human form rendering them marvels of elegance. They are very pliable and easy to wear, without detracting from any of their beneficial support—Observe the address." Tug Cousin,sutunt" Church-street. Blackpool.
