POISON IN THE ASHES
MANY people believe that Nafure has somewhere a remedy for every disease So many and so terrible are the ills of life, and so slight the pleasure we get as time flies past, that such a belief is the least we cai show m a gncious and all-wise Providence. A few remedies —but, alas, how few! — have been found. Others, so far, lie hidden from human inquiry. Occasionally death follows quickly on the heels of the cvil — an illustration of the dangerous character of the ailment to be relieved.
For example, Nervous Dyspepsia is a comparatively neiv disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organs and cf the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as separate ailments, acd it was left for the clearsighted thinkers to prove that the b->sis of this tenible and often fatal complication lies chiefly m the disordered and depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thus : " If we can induce the sronvch to do its work, and stimulate the excretive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste mattei. which rema'.ns after the life-giving elements of the food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dyspepsia and Nervous Exhaustion." And they were right. Knowing the infallible powei" cf Seigel's Syrup m less complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully, m this. To leave no ground for doubt, they prescribed the remedy m hundieds of cases which had been pronounced incurable — with perfect success m every instance where their directions as to Jiving and diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Exhaustion may almost be called a peculiarly English disea c. To a greater or Jess extent half the people of this country suffer from it — both sexes and all ages. In no country m the world are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, all resulting from this alarming disease. Its leading symptoms are these ; frequent or continual headache ; a dull pain at the base of the brain ; b?d breath ; nauseous eructations ; the rising of sour and pungent fluids to the throat ; a sense of opp'ession and faintness at the pit of the stomach, flatulence; wakefulness and loss of seep ; disgust with foo J even when weak from the need of it ; sticky and slimy matter on the teeth or m the mouth, especially on rising m the morning ; furred and coated tongue ; dull eyes ; cold hands and feet ; constipation ; dry or rough skin ; inability to fix the mind on any labor or calling continuous attention ; and oppressive and sad forebodings and fear.
All this terrible group Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup removes by its positive, powerful, direct, yet painless and gentle action upon the functions of digestion and assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system are sent upon iheir mission, while all waste matters (the ashes of life's fire) which, unremoved, poison and kill, are expelled from the body through the bowels, kidneys, and skin. The weak and prostrated nerves are quieted, toned, and fed by the purified blood. As the result, health, with its enjoyments, blessings, and power, retu-ns to the sufferer, who had perhaps abandoned all hope of ever seeing another well day.
Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup is for Pale by all chemists and m:dicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J. White, Limited, 35, Farringdon Road, London.
