Obituary.
of the Rosicrucian Society in England . He was also a supporter of our Institutions , and had taken an active part in their government as well as in the general concerns of the Craft . The details , however , we reserve . The principal features are such as we have delineated , and will suffice to show how distinguished a member has been
thus abruptly snatched from us while yet in the full maturity of his age and intellectual powers . We sympathise deeply with the circle of relatives and friends , by whom his loss will be most severely felt . The interment will take place at YVest Hampstead Cemetery on Saturday the 6 th at 2 p . m .
BRO . JOHN SOUTHWOOD , P . M ., P . Z . The news that Bro . Southwood is no more will doubtless be a surprise to that section of our readers in which he was so conspicuous a figure . Bro . Southwood fell from his horse when out riding on Sunday , and on assistance arriving , it was found that death—no doubt caused by heart disease—had already supervened . The deceased was initiated into Masonry in Hiram Lodge , No . 120 , Dublin .
He joined the John Herv ,: y Lodge , No . 1260 , on nth March , 1 S 74 , and was exalted in the John Hervey Chapter , 10 th March , 1 S 75 . He was a Past Master of the former , and a P . Z . of the latter , and had done good service on behalf of the Charities , having served as Steward at two Festivals of the Girls' School , one of the Boys' School , and two of the Benevolent Institution , and having qualified as Life G overnor of the three .
THE LATE BRO . J . R . GOEPEL . It is our melancholy duty to-day to announce the not entirely unexpected death of Bro . John Robert Goepel , well-known in Liverpool several years ago in connection with his profession as a surgeon-dentist , and still more widely known throughout that city and the Province of YVest Lancashire as a Freemason of much spirit , true
charity , and untiring energy . The circumstances of Bro . Goepel ' s last and long-continued illness have a touch of melancholy about them , which it is hardly necessary now to give in detail . Suddenly stricken down by paralysis of the brain , the deceased was carefully watched and nursed at home ; but after a time it was found necessary and deemed most advisable to remove him to the County Asylum ,
Rainhill , near Liverpool , where , after about two years careful and tender treatment , he expired early on YVednesday morning , the 19 th ult . Thanks to the kindness and consideration of the members of the Everton Lodge , S 23 ( with whom he was most closely identified ) , the closing days of our much-afflicted brother were brightened as far as they could be by the benignant light of unostentatious Masonic
benevolence , and the last tribute of respect which the lodge paid to his memory was as creditable to the brethren concerned as it was well deserved by our deceased brother . For many years Bro . Goepel took an exceedingly active share in local and general Masonic work . He long held the office of Treasurer to the Liverpool Masonic Hall Committee , and he was most indefatigable in the important labours
connected with the erection of the Hall as it now stands in Hope-street . Almost night and day were devoted to this congenial work , and those who best know his anxious thought in connection with the erection of the new building can best estimate his worth and esteem his memory . The deceased was P . P . G . Director of Ceremonies of the Province of YVest Lancashire ; P . M . of the Everton Lodge ,
No . 823 , member of several others ; P . Z . of a local chapter ; P . S . of the first conclave of the Red Cross of Constantine in Liverpool ; a prominent member and P . M . M . of Mark Masons in Lancashire ; and his general generous support of all the Masonic Charities ( local and national ) was for a long period a conspicuous feature of his life . Bro . Goepel leaves work accomplished
which is not likely to be soon forgotten . Most unostentatiously the mortal remains of our deceased brother were interred last Saturday afternoon in the family vault , Smithdown-road Cemetery , in the presence of sorrowing and sympathising private and Masonic friends . Gathered in the chapel and at the graveside were Mr . T . G . Goepel , of Manningham , Bradford ( brother of the deceased );
Messrs . R . Berryman , R . Ball , and H . Blunt ( cousins ); J . Flint , and W . H . Waite . The representatives of local lodges were Bros . Councillor YV . J . Lunt , P . P . G . Treas . ; R . Martin , P . G . Treas . ; Dr . A . Samuels , P . G . J . D . ; J . Jackson , P . P . G . S . of YV . ; T . Clark , P . P . G . S . B . ; Richard Brown , P . P . G . Treas . ; Henry Firth , P . P . G . J . D . ; John Beesley , P . G . S ., P . M . 823 ; 1 . M . King , W . M . 823
J . C . Maguire , P . M . 1547 ; W . Ladyman , P . M . 1547 ; Joseph Wood , 1094 ; J . B . M'Kenzie , P . P . G . S . D . ; John Wright , P . M . 241 ; J . C . Robinson , P . M . 249 ; VV . S . Newman , 241 ; S . Fraser , S . D . 1264 ; F . A . Rainbow , J . D . 1393 ; Henry Ashmore , P . M . 823 ; W . Woods , P . M . 1620 ; J . W . Burgess , P . P . G . P . ; W . T . May ,
P . M . G 73 ; Richard Rankin , 667 ; C . D . Raymond , 823 ; Peter Ball , P . G . Tyler ; and others . The funeral service was of the simplest form , and at the close the brethren placed sprigs of acacia on the coffin of one who , while in life , had done Masonic service which has proved eminently beneficial to the Order .
BROS . BELLERBY , BANSOR , & c . We regret to state that several other brethren have died recently , brief particulars of whose careers we are compelled to omit this week in consequence of the heavy and unexpected demands which have been made upon the limited space at our disposal .
Among those present on . Tuesday last at the marriage in the parish church of Ruabon , North Wales , of the Countess Helen von Bismarck , cousin of the German Imperial Chancellor , Prince von Bismarck , with Mr . VV . J . Cripps , son of the late Mr . W . Cripps , M . P . for Cirencester , were , in addition to Count von Bismarck , Count Frank von JBismarck , and the Countess Marie von Bismarck , respectively father , brother , and sister of the bride , R . W . Bro . Sir YV . W . Wynn , Bart ., M . P ., P . G . M North

P ., and Mrs . and Miss Tyssen-Amherst , Bro . the Rev . J . S . Brownrigg , P . G . Chaplain , cousin of the bride , and Mrs . and Miss Brownrigg , & c The ceremony was performed by Bro . the Rev . J . S . Brownrigg , assisted by the Rev . E . W . Edwards and the Rev . E . S . Cheshire , the wedding breakfast being afterwards given at Wynnstay Hall by Bro . Sir W . W . Wynn .

An Alarming Disease Afflicting A Numerous Class.
AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING A NUMEROUS CLASS .
The disease commences with a sli g ht 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 I 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 ? Is 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 remedy 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 , 1 S 82 . 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 I 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 ) CIVREY B , BERRY , Baptist Missionary .

An Alarming Disease Afflicting A Numerous Class.
AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING A NUMEROUS CLASS .
The disease commences with a sli g ht 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 I 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 ? Is 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 remedy 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 , 1 S 82 . 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 I 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 ) CIVREY B , BERRY , Baptist Missionary .
