0 YEE THE SUNSHINE OF EX- ' ISTENCE HANGS A ELAOK ni.OTTD.
With the uncertainty of life is mingled the dark mystery of death ! While, on the one hand, we catch the welcome sound of a new breath of life that tells of an addition to onr species, on the other we shudder as we hear the rushing wings o the Destroying Angel ! The mighty voice of the Great Influence which rules the Universe has pronounced onr fate ; the dread fiat has gone forth, and every mortal man is doomed to cue . Dut, though we cannot prevent, can we postpone death ? The question is momentous, oven if it concern the prolongation of life but by a single hour, inasmuch as eveiy instinct prompts us to fight the boldest battle we can for this glorious boon of existence. The promptings of instinct are but the spontaneous voices of nature, and it is our duty to obey. But there still remains a question, Can death be postponed by a single hour'? Yes ; for the world works in obedience to certain laws; and a study of these proves that those who have the judgment and the will to buckle on the shield, which nature places ready to their grasp, may ward on the insiduous attacks of the implacable enemy of life, until, in a ripe old age, the vital faculties gradually decay, and the Angel of Peace glides softly into our presence, leading us, as it were, in a gentle slumber to the regions beyond the shadow of the tomb. The Fell Destroyer makes Ins first approaches in many forms, but none are more favoured by him than that of a deadly foe now preying upon the very vitals or Modern Society. What is this foe . There are few among us who have not been or are now to some extent its victims. Would the reader know if he, too, is under the ban of this frightful scourge . Let him ask himself whether he experiences any of the following symptoms . There are pains about the chest and sides, and sometimes in the back. The mo uth has a bad taste, especially in the morning ; and there are feelings of dulness and drowsiness. The appetite is poor, a sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth, there is a feeling as of a heavy load on the stomach, and sometimes of a faint, all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach, which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at first dry, but attended in the course of a few months with expectoration of a greenish colour. The sufferer feels constantly tired, and sleep seems to afford him no rest. Nervousness, irritability, and evil forebodings follow. When rising suddenly, there is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head. The bowels become costive ; the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites of the eyes are tinged with yellow ; the urine is scanty and high coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food —at times with a sour taste and at others with a sweetish taste. This is often attended with palpitation of the heart or impaired vision, with spots before the eyes, accompanied by great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. Medical men have mistaken the nature of the malady. Its true name is Dyspepsia or Indigestion ; for which a certain remedy is to be found in Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup—a medicine which has Avon in both hemispheres a confidence founded only on its great virtues. The Syrup can be obtained from any chemist or medicine vendor, or from the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farringdon Road, London, E. C. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY. ‘‘ Y ouii. Preparation is an Exception."’ £ ‘ The Pharmacy, Regent Road, “ Great Yarmouth, Dec. 28, 1883. “Dear Sir—Your medicine must be a great success. You can quite understand that I have not much opinion of ivliat are called quack medicines, which are generally cure-all and Avorthlcss, and I should be glad to see thorn swept out of existence with the ‘besom of destruction.’ our preparation, however, is an cxcepon, and is undoubtedly useful. One of y brothers took it ivith considerable jnefit; and, to be candid with you, I ily laughed at him, and said ‘ His faith xd healed him.’ I was very ill myself us year with Congested Inver, Indigeson, &c., and after much persuasion by ty brother, to please him, I consented to ■y Mother Soigel’s Syrup, and I am mind to say, that in spite of my prejudice id unbelief,it did me more good than nything else. lam better in health now, ut not quite Avell, and never shall be as my heart has become weak, [though I am considerably under fifty ears of age. 1 mention my case to you, linking it might bo of interest to you.— remain, faithfully yours, “ W.
