Letter Writing. It is sometimes lamented that letter writing is a lost art. In these days, when one may send four ounces of wrtitten matter to any part of the country for a penny, letters are briefer, hut infinitely more numerous, than when eightpenee was charged to convey a single sheet of paper from Norfolk to Lon- don—the cost of postage marked upon letters written by the poet Cowper. Cowper died in 1800. the eve of a century prolific in changes In the days of dear postage, when travelling was also dear and deadly slow, middle-class people were content to com- municate with their distant friends three or four times a year. Huge bundles of their letters still exist, and very quaint reading they are. Generally they consist of minutely details of trivial circumstances to which no-j body in the rush and scramble of modern life would give a moment's attention. Baby has got another tooth. Mary thinks of trim- ming her next new bonnet with cherry- coloured ribbons. They do say as how beef is like to rise the coming winter. Smith's grey mare has turned lame." This is a genuine extract from a letter written near L, Frome in 1784. Nowadays people hav'e'nt time to write unless there is something of importance to communicate as in the follow- ing letter from Mrs Sarah Ann Richards, of Brynhaf Villa, Mountain Ash, Glam., dated September gth, 1902 I f el that I must express my gratitude for the great benefit I have received from Mother Seigel's Cur- ative Syrup. About three years ago I began to suffer from fits of depression and sick head- aches. I lost my appetite completely was frequently attacked by gildiness, followed by vomiting could get no sleep, and became too weak to walk. My stomach was unable to retain nourishment. I consulted one doctor after another, but they all failed in their treatment of me, and I sank further and further into a state of helplessness. But about eighteen months ago, as I was expect- ing and wishing for death to put an end to my wretched existence, a friend advised me to give Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup a trial. I felt that this was like clutching at a straw to save one's self from drowning but to my intense surprise and joy that medicine acted on my system like a charm from the very first dose, and before I had finished the second bottle my recovery was complete. I now always keep a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup by me, and whenever I feel low a dose or two suffices to restore me. I recommend the medicine whenever I have an opportunity to do so."
