Peckham Rye, A Good Appetite; Enjoyment in Eating. What is Appetite ? Really a sensation of hunger caused by a craving of the Digestive Organs for work to do. Nature provides this desire for Food so that the body shall be well nourished. Hence it follows that a keen Appe- tite is a good and natural experience. No one need be ashamed of it. And what is enjoy- ment of Food—the so-called indulgence in the pleasures of the table—but proper and efficient digestion of food ?—in moderation, of course. If you do not digest what you eat you certainly do not enjoy it. Quite otherwise ; you are sub- ject to pains, aches, stuffiness, Nerve Depres- sion, and a host of minor ailments, which quite destroy enjoyment. You may even fear and loathe Food, and dread having to eat at all. But what can you do ? You must eat, for you can- not let yourself starve. Approach the subject from another point of view. Consider how food is digested, how it is absorbed, how it enriches the Blood, and how finally it is transformed into Vitality, Vigour, Health, and Strength, to replace the waste of hourly decay. Realise at once that you can facilitate, promote, and make easy all these processes, and that you can do it simply, cheaply, and efficiently by the use of Guy's Tonic. Do not allow a possible prejudice against proprietary medicines to sway your judgment. Because some are bad or indifferent, do not condemn Guy's Tonic. Judge it fairly on its merits. Examine its claims to your support and consideration. Realise by enquiry what

How house carriage free.\" \"The individual who has the honour of present- ing himself before you at this juncture is a man who—a man—in short, a man who has long waited for something to turn up. Crushed to the ground by the rapacity of my creditors, and bereft of home and cherished belongings by the same insatiable individuals, 1 felt it would be a work of supererogation to preserve alive the last flickering rays of hope. But something has turned up— something has at last risen upon the horizon of my blighted and wretched life—in short, I have just been on a visit to Catesbys. Under the impression that in your peregrinations you may never have been to Tottenham Court Road, I will instal you in the knowledge of the fact that Catesbys are the makers of the celebrated Cork Lino which bears their name. And, thanks to the generosity of the Easy Terms of payment offered by that estimable firm, I am once more a creature of Hope, in possession of a comfort- able home with Catesbys' Cork Lino upon every floor. \" Now, as a man of some experience in life and, and—of some experience, in short, in difficulties— generally speaking, I may offer those whose annual incomes are but modest a—a little advice. My first piece of advice is : Annual Income, twenty pounds; Expenditure, twenty-ought-six — result, Misery. The blossom is blighted, and you are for ever floored. As I was. But with Catesbys' generous terms no individual need fear this overstepping of the sterling mark. Catesbys stands for Economy, Comfort, and—in short, Home. \"My second piece of advice is, Never do to- morrow what you can do to-day. Procrastination is the thief of time. Collar him. In other words, write to-day to Catesbys for a sample of their Cork Lino.

AD VERTISEMENTS. xxi ABSOLUTE PROOF Restoration of Nerve Strength and Muscular Power gained by wearing the Richardson Perfected Electro - Galvanic Belt. Every Weak, Nervous, and Enfeebled Man and Woman should test it for themselves—free of charge. Thousands of people are daily struggling with some form of disease that undermines their strength and powers. To all such, New Life and Vigour are magic words that will not pass unheeded when brought home to these hosts of sufferers. We especially appeal to the vast and increasing Army whose ranks comprise the Weak, the Nervous and the Enfeebled, and everyone languishing for those greatest of all blessings—Relief from Pain, Restored Vital- ity, and Robust Health. To all sufferers from Exhaustion of Nerve Force, Indigestion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Sleeplessness, Gout, Rheumatism, and Kindred Ailments ; Anaemia, or Poorness of Blood, and Irregular Circulation, Varicocele, Constipation, or from any form of Impaired Vitality, arising from overstrain, we can offer special help. The Richardson Electro-Galvanic Battery Belt, in its fabric and elements, is a unique com- bination unequalled for comfort and efficiency. It is the acme of perfection of what a curative electrical appliance should be. There is no metallic contact with the skin, and therefore no irritation. It is speedily efficacious in its action, and an agreeable support. It is, in fact, the outcome of many years' profound study and experiment as to the most perfect means ever yet devised of applying Nature's own remedy— Electricity—for the cure of disease. Electro-Galvanism, as we skilfully employ it, makes the weak strong and the strong stronger. It restores shattered nervous systems and re- lieves racking, wearying pain. It enriches the blood and quickens its circula- tion. Its unseen current creates new life, and renews within those natural forces the loss of which are the first symptoms of decay. As a nervine tonic and invigorating agent it has no equal in the whole field of therapeutics, and may be relied upon to restore weakened constitutions to pristine strength and energy. Free Test Before Payment. We want every sufferer to thoroughly examine this marvellous Belt and test its healing virtues before sending any money whatever. When you have seen the belt and proved for yourself that it is the greatest triumph of electrical skill applied to the science of healing, we will abide by your verdict. We ask the readers of this Magazine to remember that this offer is made by a firm with nineteen years' reputation in the City of London. Do not fail to write at once, with particulars of your case, and remember that, after giving the Belt a trial, if you are not perfectly satisfied, return it to us ; it costs you nothing to try It. A.

If you are tired of life, and wish yourself dead, it is because your nerves have become poisoned and require Phosferine to cleanse them.

XXX11 AD VERTISEMENTS. DEAF PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOISES IN THE HEAD. IT is calculated that out of a hundred deaf people, sixty among them have noises in the ear. This symptom is felt in different ways, some experiencing it in the ear itself, others at the back or side of the head, others all over the head. The description of these noises is also very varied. They are compared to buzzings, whistlings, to the sound of bells, cracklings, the boiling of water, the song of birds, 4c, 4c. Different sounds may be heard at the same time, sometimes very painful, and it is not in- frequent for the patient to ask to be freed first of all from these noises, to which they attach much more im- portance than to the deafness itself. Others are con- vinced that their deafness is solely due to these noises, and that if they could get rid of them they would recover their hearing at the same time. Persons attacked by intense and constant buzzings, and, above all, those subject to giddiness, are generally under the influence of very great intellectual and moral depression. They are unable to do any brain-work, their intelligence remains clouded, their temper becomes soured, they grow sad and melancholy. In certain cases the noises become so acute that unhappy people have been known to seek BY SUICIDE to put an end to their intolerable suffering. If you ask an aurist the cause of these noises in the ear, lie will tell you that they are produced by an irrita- tion of the auditory nerve, and that this irritation may be produced by many different causes. If we consider that all affections of the middle anil external ear tend to the compression and excitement of the auditory nerves, the almost universal presence of these noises in the head of deaf people is at once explained. For a long time a remedy for these serious affections of the hearing has been sought, but it is only quite re- cently that a French aurist. Dr. Drouet, of the Paris Faculty of Medicine, has discovered a curative treatment. Let us briefly explain of what the Drouet treatment consists. If the anatomy of the organ of hearing is studied, wc may notice that all its delicate parts, the labyrinth or inner ear, and the tym]>anic cavity, are carefully sheltered inside the skull and absolutely out of reach from the outside, and as these essential parts ore pre- cisely the seat of the chronic affections of which deaf- ness is the consequence, you will at once understand the difficulty the aurist has in fighting against them. Still, in our days, quite a series of very ingenious processes are employed. Catheterism, or inflation of the middle ear, application of liquids or vapours through the nose, syringing, blistering, 4c. The effects of electricity have, of course, been tried, and general treatment is also assiduously resorted to. But it must be owned that no lasting results aie obtained by these means. Drouet hit one day on the idea of utilising the well- known ABSORBENT PROPERTIES OF THE SKIN and tissues. He reflected that this was, in fact, the way always employed to treat an internal disorder locally, and, setting out from this principle, he drew up the formula of a preparation in the form of a crescent- shaped plaster, which is applied to the mastoid process, the raised part of the skull behind the ear, exactly underneath which are situated these internal parts of the auditory organ of which we have just been speaking.

Anyone can now cure themselves at home without pain, danger, operation, or an hour's loss of Time from Work. At the earnest request of British patrons Dr. Rice has opened branch offices at (Dept. i) 8—9, Stonecutter Street, London, E.C., and to the thousands upon thousands of ruptured people who are tor- turing themselves with bad trusses, and are in momentary danger of death from strangulation, will send free to all a trial of his famous method that has saved so many lives and made so many men, women, and children well and strong, and permanently cured of bad ruptures. Do not be backward about writing for the Free Trial. It will cost you nothing, and will enable you to see how easily you can cure yourself in a short time without losing an hour from work. Dr. Rice is determined that every suffering man or woman shall know the wonderful truth that rupture can be cured, and he there- fore generously sends, prepaid by post, his method absolutely free, and you can make a trial of it. Remember that it is the same method that Mr. Thomas Blay (whose picture is given here) used ; and who can deny the truth when it is put before them in so clear a light? It must, indeed, be welcome words to the afflicted. Ha WORDS OF PRAISE FROM MR. BLAY. \" W S Rice \"No. 5, Ripley Terrace, Luddenden Foot, April 6th, 1901. \" Dear Sir,—After using your treatment for three months I find myself cured of my rupture at the age of 55. I had been ruptured for ten years. \" I shall advise all people afflicted with this complaint to use your treatment, as I know from experience that it will cure permanently. You must have a wonderful knowledge of rupture to fit one so perfectly without seeing the rupture. \" I am in good health now, something I have not enjoyed for ten years before. You can use this letter in any way you choose, and I hope it will guide others to a perfect cure.—Yours truly, \"T. BLAY.\" There is absolutely no question about the curative ability of this combined and perfected method. It has stood the test of time ; it has been through the fire of critical cases ; it has come out victorious in every curable instance. It has saved the child to a life of independence ; it has given the youth his natural endowment of health and strength to fight the battle of life successfully ; it has conquered the blight upon old age and turned years of suffering into ending days of joy and gladness. Whoever is ruptured, or knows a person suffering with rupture, should keep in mind the fact that in eighty per cent, of all cases there is a daily liability that before night they may say good-bye to earthly things. Does not this fact influence one to pause and consider whether they are using their best efforts in the way a wise Creator intended they should ? And if the forethought, the research, and the painstaking effort of one who invents and studies for the relief of others is placed in our hands, is it not our duty to read and listen patiently that we may take advantage of that which contributes to our earthly benefit?

AD VERTISEMENTS. xli HOW TO OBTAIN A SLENDER WAIST. If some good fairy godmother could tell the women of to-day that they might each choose one constituent of beauty in addition to what they already possess, I believe a large majority would ask for the gift of a good figure with a slender waist. But, alas and alack ! there are no fairies to be heard, save those of science, and they tell us that the corsets with which we have been wont to try to keep our figures trim are injurious to health, and that if we would be really beautiful in the matter of figure we must actually get rid of all super- fluous fat, and not try to squeeze it out of sight. How is it to be done? The clear answer is to be found in a little book written by Mr. F. Cecil Russell, of Woburn House, Store Street, Bedford Square, London, who has been scientifically studying the question for many years, making many experiments, and who can now show a record of thousands of cures that he has effected by his wonderful treatment of obesity. Let me advise all who desire to get and to retain a graceful figure to send the above author two penny stamps to cover the postage of his book, \" Corpulency and the Cure,\" which he will then give to anyone who asks for it. A VAILABLE FOR TWENTY-ONE DAYS ONLY. SPECIAL OFFER FOR A LIMITED PERIOD. To Stout Persons who have not tried the RUSSELL TREATMENT. In order that corpulent readers of \"The Strand Magazine\" may have an opportunity of testing the marvellous efficacy of the compound which forms the basis of the \"Russell\" treatment, it has been decided to set apart a certain number of specially prepared 6s. cases to be distributed for the NOMINAL SUM OF 2 6 amongst the earliest applicants sending to the address below Postal Orders for 2/6, together with the Coupon here rivets. Full directions for following the treat- ment will accompany each test case, also F. C. Russell's well-known book, \"Corpulency and the Cure,\" 256 pages. The whole will be forwarded, carriage paid, to the applicants in the British Isles. This exceptional oiler remains open tor twenty-one days from the date printed on the Coupon. rases set aside for this purpose being insufficient to >upply all demands, unsuccessful applicants will have their remittances returned immediately. If, on the other hand, any reserve cases remain after the expiry of the twenty-one days, Coupon shall be valid until such time as the number is exhausted. Send Coupon and remittance, under envelope marked \"Reserve,\" to F. C. Russell. Woburn House, Store Street, Bedford Square, London, W.C. (The packing Is devoid of any marks denoting contents.) Readers who are fortunate enough not to require the treatment would oblige by handing this announcement and Coupon to some stout friend to whom the special offer Coupon to be cut out and enctoeed vitK remittance. In the event of the number nf AVAILABLE FOR TWENTY-ONE DAYS ONLY. A MINT. Ladies are constantly complaining that they cannot retain their youthfulness of figure without either taking rigorous exercise in the gymnasium, wearing strongly boned and tightly-laced corsets, or going in for a course of semi-starvation, to all of which they feel there are the strongest objections. And it is well that these objections are heeded. A simple, healthful method of reducing a too rotund figure to beautiful proportions, and then of keeping it trim, is laid down by the now eminent Mr. F. C. Russell, of Woburn House, Store Street, London, W.C, in his book, \"Corpulency and the Cure,\" which he will be pleased to give to any applicant who sends him her address and the cost of the postage of the book, two penny stamps. Mr. RUSSELL will be pleased to give to all readers of The Strand Magazine suffering from Obesity a copy of his book, '' Corpulency and the Cure,\" 236 pages. When writing for the book, enclose two penny stamps to cover its postage. The book will be forwarded in a sealed plain envelope. Address: WOBURN HOUSE, 27, STORE ST., BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON, W.O.
