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 ? What is the meaning of these dull, sick headaches ; these violent palpitations of the heart, this feverish restlessness, these night sweats ; this disturbed and dreamy sleep, which brings no refreshing rest, but only moanings and mut terLsjjs, and- tiie h .rrors of the nightmare ? The answer is : These are but tlie 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_ the food into healthy matter for the proper nourishment of ihe 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 induced by mental distress — the shock of some great calamity. It may be, and of'en is, aggravated and intensified, if not originally brought on, by exhaustion from intense mental application, of physical overwork, domes' ic troubles, anxiety m business,

Such - medicine is happily at h_nd. I s ever m the history of medical discoveries, evidenced by a drzen years' thorough test, has there 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 almo_t 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 their wives and daughters, alike confirm Its curative powers.
