Often Tired but never Weary.
Let'B discuss the point for two minutes. Here's a man who Bays that at a certain period he began to feci " tired and weary." That's precisely the way he puts it in his letter. Now anybody has a right to feel tired or fatigued (it's the same thing), after labour or much exercise. It's tbe body's fashion of telling you to hold up, to give it a rest. It is a natural and, in health, with supper and sleep just abea**), a pleasant feeling. But weariness I— that's differeut. That comes of monotony, of waiting, of lonelinesß. Weariness is of the mind, not of the body. But it oan arise in the body, all the same. If this bothers you at firßt, don't say, " Stuff 1" "humbug !" but study np on it. A man may be tired and happy, but not weary and happy. For weariness means depressed spirits, and nerves all sagged down in the middle. And when you get both at onoe you will be wise to find out what's gone wrong. It is a short letter, this is, and we can just as well quote the whole of it. The writer says : "It was iv November, 1887, when I began to feel tired and weary. It seemed as if I had no Btrength left in me. Before that I had always been strong and healthy. My appetite was poor, and for days together I could not touch any food that was placed before me. After every meal that I did succeed in forcing down I had suoh dreadful pains in tbe chest and back that I was almost afraid to eat. Then there was a sharp pain around the heart, too, as though I was stabbed with a knife. " I lost a deal of sleep, and for nights together I didn't sleep at all. Then I ' began to lobe flesh rapidly, and was afraid I was going into a consumption. Yet I kept on with my work, however, but it was a nard thing for me, because I was so weak and nervous that I trembled from head to foot. As time went on I gradually got worse and worse, and my eyes were sunken and drawn in. I consulted a doctor in Eenlish Town. He gave me medioine, but it did no good. After all this I got the idea into my head that I •hould not recover. v One day a lady oame into the shop, and noticing the state I was iq, kindly asked how long I had been ill. I told her all about it, and she said, ' You try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup; it has made me well, and I believe it will do you good.' "I sent for a bottle, and after taking only a few doses I felt relieved. Presently my food agreed with me, and I enjoyed my meals. I could sleep better also, and by keeping on taking the Syrup I soon got as strong as I ever was in my life. Since that time (now over four years ago), I have been in the best of health. I consider that in all probability this remedy saved my life; at all events, it restored my health, and life without health don't amount to much. 1 gladly concent to tbe publication of this statement,, and will answer inquiries. Yours truly (Signed), £Mt«i W.i »ntH9l( iQtlli Iff9ti"
