WHY AM I SO MISERABLE ?

So weak and languid ? Why such heartburns and pains m the stomach, such acidity, and such an unpleasant taste m the mouth ? Why at times such a gnawing appetite, and then again such disrelish for food ? Why is the mind so frequently irritable, desponding, melancholy and dejected ? Why does one often feel under the apprehension of some imaginary danger, and start at any unexpected noise, becoming agitated as though some great calamity was impending? Wh t is the meaning of these dull, sick headaches ; these violent palpitations of the heart, this feverish restlessness, these night sweats ; this diturbed and dreamy sleep, which brings no refreshing rest, but enly moanings and multering<, and tfic horrors of the nightmare? The answer is : These ate but the symptoms of Indigestion or Dyspepsia— the beginning and the lorerunner of almost every other human disease. Indigestion is a weakness or want of power of' the digestive fluids of the stomach to conver. ths food into healthy matter for the proper nourishment of the body. It is caused most frequently by the irregularity of diet, or improper food, want of healthy exercise and pure outdoor air. It may be induce! by mental distress — the sho. kof some great calamity. It may be, and ofren is, aggravated and intensified, if not originally brought on, by exhaustion from intense mental application, of physical overwork, domes' ic troubles, anxiety m business, or financal embarassments. If the stomach could always b : kept m order, death would no longer bo a subject of fearful anxiety to the young and middle-aged, but what would be contemplated by" all as the visit of an expected friend at the close of a peaceful and happy old aye. However, the first hostile invader upon the domain of health and happiness is Indigestion. Is there any relief, any remedy, any cure ? That is the question of the suffering and unhappy dyspeptic. What is wanted is a medicine that will thoroughly renovate the stomach, bowels, liver, and kidneys, and afford speedy and effectual assistance to the digestive organ*, and restore to the nervous and muscular systems their original energy. Such a medicine is happily at hand. Never m the history ..of medical discoveries, evidenced by a- dr zen years' thorough test, has lhcre been found a remedy for Indigestion so speedy, so sure, and so surprising m its results as Seigel's Curative Syrup, but to-day it is a standard remedy fcr that almost universal affliction m every civilised country m Europe, Asia, Africa and, America. Public testimonials and private letters from military officers, bankers, merchants, ship captains, mechanics, farmers, and theit wives and daughters, alike confirm its curative powers.
