It appears from an article on the Wreck Register for the year ended 30 th June , 1 SS 3 , which appeared in the Lifeboat Journal ot Saturday last , that though the number of shipping casualties ( 3654 ) of all kinds around the British Isles was only six less than in the year 18 S 1-2 , the number of total losses has fallen from 606 to 551 , and the number of wrecks involving loss of life from 235 to 220 , the number
of lives lost being 1020 , or 77 less than the previous year . It will be conceded that these statistics arc encouraging , especially if we bear in mind that during the period in question 677 , 551 vessels , with a tonnage of i 45 , 995 > 58 o and estimated to have had on board some 4 , , 000 people , came and went . The loss of life during the last 30 years amounts to 21 , 651 , but , thanks to the valuable aid rendered by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution ,
21 , 167 lives were saved , so that but for the existence of this noble institution the loss of life from _ shipping casualties would have been about double what it actually was . In the year 1882-3 the rocket apparatus , _ in use by the Board of Trade , was instrumental in saving- 450 lives . It does not need more than these few paniculars to show how necessary it is our lifeboat service should be well supported by thc public .

After first accepting this offer , the committee subsequently declined to allow the pantomime competition to form part of their programme . Mr .

theatrical journal that he was prepared to [ give the £ 25 prize to any pantomime writer sending in his MS . on or before the 6 th ult ., whose production should be considered the best by competent judges . In response to his advertisement Mr . Grannell received no fewer than 20 MSS ., several of which showed considerable ability , more than one being by authors who have already secured the production of works of a similar nature . The subject given
was "The Babes in the Wood , " and the old nursery story was treated in quite a variety of ways by the score of competitors . The adjudicators originally appointed to superintend the Eisteddfod competition met on Saturday week to perform their difficult task , and after much careful study and conscientious consideration of the pile of MSS . submitted for their perusal , they unanimously awarded the prize to Mr . T . Stanley Rogers ( son of Bro . A . B . C . Rogers ,
of Liverpool ) , well known as a promising author , and now a member of the Compton Comedy Company . Mr . E . Tower ' s MS ., which occupied next place , embodied some capital pantomime business , but superior literary merit secured the first place for Mr .

An Alarming Disease Afflicting A Numerous Class.
AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING A NUMEROUS CLASS .
The disease commences with a slight derangement of the stomach , but , if neglected , it in time involves the whole frame , embracing the kidneys , liver , pancreas , and , in fact , the entire glandular system , and the afflicted drags out a miserable existence until death gives relief from suffering . The disease is often mistaken for other complaints ; but if
the reader will ask himself the following questions he will be able to determine whether he himself is one of the afflicted : —Have 1 distress , pain , or difficulty in breathing after eating ? Is there a dull , heavy feeling attended by drowsiness ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge ? Does a thick , sticky , mucus gather about the gums and teeth in the mornings , accompanied by a disagreeable taste ? Is the
tongue coated ? Is there pain in the sides and back ? Is there a fulness about the right side as if the liver were enlarging ? Is there costiveness ? Is there vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from a horizontal position ? Are the secretions from the kidneys scanty and highly coloured , with a deposit after standing ? Does food ferment soon after eating , accompanied by
flatulence or a belching of gas from the stomach ? ls there frequent palpitation of the heart ? These various symptoms may not be present at one time , but they torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses . , If the case be one of long standing there will be a dry , hacking cough , attended after a time by expectoration . In very advanced stages the skin assumes a dirty brownish
appearance , and the hands and feet are covered by a cold , sticky perspiration . As the liver and kidneys become more and more diseased , rheumatic pains appear , and the usual treatment proves entirely unavailing against this latter agonising disorder . The origin of this malady is indigestion or dyspepsia , and a small quantity of the proper medicine will remove the disease if taken in its
incipiency . It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its first stages , when a little medicine will effect a cure , and even when it has obtained a strong hold the correct remed y should be persevered in until every vestige of the disease is eradicated , until the appetite has returned , and the digestive organs restored to a healthy condition . The surest and most effectual
remedy for this distressing complaint is " Seigel ' s Curative Syrup , " a vegetable preparation sold by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors throughout the world , and by the proprietors , A . J . White , Limited , 17 , Farringdon-road , London , E .. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease , and drives it , root and branch , out of the system . Ask your chemist for Seigel's Curative Syrup .
Spanish Town , Jamaica , West Indies , Oct . 24 , 1882 . Dear Sir , —I write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from "Seigel ' s Syrup . " For some years I have suffered from liver complaint , with its many and varied concomitant evils , so that my life was a perpetual misery . Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel ' s Syrup , and although rather sceptical , having tried so many
reputed infallible remedies , I determined to give it at least a fair trial . In two or three days I felt considerably . better , and now at the end of twelve months ( having continued taking it ) I am glad to say that I am a different being altogether . It is said of certain pens that they " come as a boon and a blessing to men , " and 1 have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement . I can
truly say , however , that Seigel ' s Syrup has come as a " boon and a blessing " to me . I have recommended it to several fellow-sufferers from this distressing complaint , and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own . Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from this excellent preparation prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial . I am , dear sir , yours ever gratefully , ( Signed ) CAREY B . BERRY , Baptist Missionary .

An Alarming Disease Afflicting A Numerous Class.
AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING A NUMEROUS CLASS .
The disease commences with a slight derangement of the stomach , but , if neglected , it in time involves the whole frame , embracing the kidneys , liver , pancreas , and , in fact , the entire glandular system , and the afflicted drags out a miserable existence until death gives relief from suffering . The disease is often mistaken for other complaints ; but if
the reader will ask himself the following questions he will be able to determine whether he himself is one of the afflicted : —Have 1 distress , pain , or difficulty in breathing after eating ? Is there a dull , heavy feeling attended by drowsiness ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge ? Does a thick , sticky , mucus gather about the gums and teeth in the mornings , accompanied by a disagreeable taste ? Is the
tongue coated ? Is there pain in the sides and back ? Is there a fulness about the right side as if the liver were enlarging ? Is there costiveness ? Is there vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from a horizontal position ? Are the secretions from the kidneys scanty and highly coloured , with a deposit after standing ? Does food ferment soon after eating , accompanied by
flatulence or a belching of gas from the stomach ? ls there frequent palpitation of the heart ? These various symptoms may not be present at one time , but they torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses . , If the case be one of long standing there will be a dry , hacking cough , attended after a time by expectoration . In very advanced stages the skin assumes a dirty brownish
appearance , and the hands and feet are covered by a cold , sticky perspiration . As the liver and kidneys become more and more diseased , rheumatic pains appear , and the usual treatment proves entirely unavailing against this latter agonising disorder . The origin of this malady is indigestion or dyspepsia , and a small quantity of the proper medicine will remove the disease if taken in its
incipiency . It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its first stages , when a little medicine will effect a cure , and even when it has obtained a strong hold the correct remed y should be persevered in until every vestige of the disease is eradicated , until the appetite has returned , and the digestive organs restored to a healthy condition . The surest and most effectual
remedy for this distressing complaint is " Seigel ' s Curative Syrup , " a vegetable preparation sold by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors throughout the world , and by the proprietors , A . J . White , Limited , 17 , Farringdon-road , London , E .. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease , and drives it , root and branch , out of the system . Ask your chemist for Seigel's Curative Syrup .
Spanish Town , Jamaica , West Indies , Oct . 24 , 1882 . Dear Sir , —I write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from "Seigel ' s Syrup . " For some years I have suffered from liver complaint , with its many and varied concomitant evils , so that my life was a perpetual misery . Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel ' s Syrup , and although rather sceptical , having tried so many
reputed infallible remedies , I determined to give it at least a fair trial . In two or three days I felt considerably . better , and now at the end of twelve months ( having continued taking it ) I am glad to say that I am a different being altogether . It is said of certain pens that they " come as a boon and a blessing to men , " and 1 have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement . I can
truly say , however , that Seigel ' s Syrup has come as a " boon and a blessing " to me . I have recommended it to several fellow-sufferers from this distressing complaint , and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own . Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from this excellent preparation prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial . I am , dear sir , yours ever gratefully , ( Signed ) CAREY B . BERRY , Baptist Missionary .
