AVER THE SUNSHINE OF EX(J ISTENOE HANGS A BLACK CLOUD. With the uncertainty of life is mingled the dark mystery of death! W hile, on the one hand, we catch the welcome sound of a new breath of life that tells of an addition to our species, on the other we shudder as we hear the rushing wings of the Destroying Angel ! The mighty voice of the Great Influence which rules the r T niverse has pronounced our fate ; the dread fiat has gone forth, and every mortal man is doomed to die ! l*nt, though we cannot prevent, can we postpone°cleath ? The question is momentous, even if it concern the prolongation of life but by a single hour, inasmuch as every 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 ? es ; 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 off 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 his first approaches in many forms, but none are more favoured by him than that of a deadly foe now preying upon the very vitals of 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 1 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 mouth 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 won 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. " YoUK PIIEPAKATION IS AX EXCEPTION." "The Pharmacy, Regent lload, " Great Yarmouth, Dec. 28, 1883. "Dear Sir—-Your medicine must be a great success. Y r ou can quite understand that I have not much opinion of what are called quack medicines, which are generally cure-all and worthless, and I should be glad to see them swept out of existence with the 'besom of destruction.' Your preparation, however, is an exception, and is undoubtedly useful. One of my brothers took it with considerable benefit; and, to be candid with you, I only laughed at him, and said ' His faith had healed him.' I was very ill myself this year with Congested Liver, Indigestion, &c, and after much persuasion by my brother, to please him, I consented to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I am bound to say, that in spite of my prejudice and unbelief, it did me more good than anything else. lam better in health now, but not quite well, and never shall be again, as my heart has become weak, although I am considerably under fifty years of age. I mention my ease to you. thinking it might be of interest to you. — I remain, faithfully yours, "W r . Sicepi'aim) Pole (Ph. C.)." I Have Not Heai:i> a Sixou-: Comtj.ajxt. "Baldock, Herts, January 4, ISBM. " Gentlemen, -Perhaps it would be appropriate to statu, that it gives me great pleasure to push and advance the sales of your medicine:--,, on account "f their worth. I 3i;ive not had or a single c-jiuplauit about your medicines since I Lave sold them, 1 >isL, on the other hand, unbounded to.t'tiiue'iiy as to their worth, therefore I can with confidence bring them to the public notice. Daring IXH2 I sold dozens of the Syrup, and 7-| dozen .Pills. — Faithfully ymu-.-;, "11. J. IZZAKO, " I'.iLont Medicine Vendor "'
