SIZE AND STRENGTH NO DEFENCE.

(Sere's a point ior you to think over i Size and development have nothing', to do. ibitk health. A mat* may Stand sis , feet, two indhesJn hiß.s,tocfcingß7a«d h^v©. the muscles of a prize fighter, and yet be an essentially unhealthy man. His frail-looking wife may be really the better of the couple; she may easily do move vv oik, endure more exposure, bear more grief. and worry, and outlive her big husband. Thereis a mystery in this that nobody Can see into. It is a matter of vitality and organisation— not of dimensions. Take, for example, the case of Mr T. B. Staples, of Oakwood, Out. , He 29 a black smith ; aad X well remember how, when a boy, I used to regard a blacksmith with awe and wonder on account of hit; strength, tt Was fearsome to see , him swing thos* mighty hammers and pick up a heavy cartwheel as though it were a child's hoop. Yet I saw only in part and understood in part. ■ ; ■- " Some twelve, years ago," writes Mr Staples, " I became aware that the dreaded disease) dyspepsia, had chosen ma for on« of Its tnany victims. It is hardly flefies* sary for me to try to describe i.ll the different feelings that cams over me. I have talked with many people suffering with dyspepsia, and they have all had about the same experience. Among the symptoms on which we agreed are the following: Bad saste in the mouth ; fulness and dead* Uess in the Btomach after eating; getting no good from one's food }. headache and palpitation of the heart; gas and sour fluids from the stomach $ di&gineß?, especially when one rises up suddenly^ or benAs over im work ; loss of appetite j pains in five chest and backhand the weßkness that comes from not eating and digesting en&ugh food 10 keep the body going All these things I had ; and you can imagine how bad they ore' for any one ; particularly for a man who has got to earn big 1 living by daily hard work,, as in my case. '"'After 1 found 'out what was the matter with me I consulted a doctor at once, and began to take the medicine he gave; me. I am sorry to say it did me. little or n.o good. Although there is a common opinion that Btotnaon troubles are not very serious, and never dangerous, I must say that is not my opinion. No man who suffers from dyspepsia as long as I did (about sis years) will ever talk foolishly or lightly about it. Even doctors admit it is the hardest of all diseases to keep track of, and to cure If it does not kill a man right out of hand, it spreads the shadow of death over him all the time he has it, and takes all the laughter out of his' days. . : " Well, after the doctor's medicine failed, I kept on taking anything and everything that was recommended to bj in hopes of relief. Yet none of them went to the root of the trouble. Sometimes I would feel a little better and sometimes worse, and that's the way things went on with me j'ear aftev year, a dreary and miserable time. There's no money could hire me to live it over again. "I was still in this condition when a friend, that I had been talking to about myself, advised me to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I didn't know the merits Of the Syrup then, but being anxious to try anything that might help me, I bought a bottle from Messrb Hog? Brothers, and commenced taking it. All I can say is, thai 1 found relief immediately, and by con> tinumgwiih it a short time, all my bad symptoms abated one by one, and I found myself completely i-id of the dyspepsia. Since then I have never had a touch of the old complaint. If there is any other medicine in the world 1 hat is able to cure indigestion and dyspepsia as Mother Seigel's Syrup does it, why I have never heard of it. I have recommended the Syrup to other sufferers, and they have been more than pleased with it ; and I write these hasty lines in hope the publication of them may come in the nick of time to be useful to others still. Yours very truly (Signed) Thos. 6. Staples, Oakwood, Ontario, February 25th, 1895. We need add but few words to Mr Staples' intelligent and manly letter. The disease which afflicted him attacks both sexes, all agen, and all classes and conditions of humanity. Ne ther youth nor strength is proof against it. It imitates other complaints, and so leads to fatal mistakes in treatment. If you are. wise you will ac- : ■ quaint yourself with its character, as de scribed in Mother Seigel's aUnanaek, and know what to do in time of need.
