A CLEAN CUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION, BOLDLY EXPRESSED.
It ifl for thig reason thiit an assertion like the following sticks up above the d ad level of our itupid talk, and becomes notice-able ; " When / taw how pale 1 had yrmvu I said to my*elf, it was because something had gone out qf my blood." There! that is a statement with the 1 seeds of an idea in it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the r*st of the letter which contains it. In December, 1890, Bays the writer, " I fell into a poor state of health. I wa» tired, languid, and weary without any apparent cause. My appetite left me, and all food, even the llghtent and simplest kinds, caused me great pain In the chest and stomaoh. When I saw how pale I had grown I said to myself it was because something had gone out of my blood. Then my sleep was broken, and night after night I scarcely olosed my eyes. It wain't long before I became so weak ani demoted that I took no interest in things around me. I was so nervous that common sounds annoyed and worried me ; even the noises made by my own children in their talk and at their play. "There was a disgusting taste in my mouth ; it made me sick, and often gate me a shivering sensation all over. When I saw others eating and enjoying their meals I felt as though it were a strange thing ; in a way I wondered bow they could do it. For myself I could eat hardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it, as one turns from atnells or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone know*, that without Hufficient food the body languishes and weakens. And such was the cugo with me as month after month ... w«a>by. During all this time, so full of pain and discouragement, I was attended by a doctor who did what he could to relieve me, but without success. Ido not say he did not understand my complaint ; for may he not have understood it without having the of curing it ?" The answer to the lady's question is : Yes, easi'y enough. AH intelligent, studious doctors " understand " consumption, oholera, cancer, dec , without (as yet) having the means of curing thnm. There ia usually a wide gap between the discovery of a want and the way to supply it. " I wilt now," continue! the letter, "tell lou how I came to be cured. In April, 891, I read in a small book or pamphlet about Mother Siegel's Syrup. Tho book 9aid the Syrup was a certain remedy for all diseases of toe stomach, Indigestion in every form, and dyspepsia; and it also said that most of the complaints we suffer Jrom are caused by that. On looking over symptoms described in the book, and comparing them with my own, I saw ffeinly that my ailment was dyspepsia. " w» sank immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after taking it a tow days I began to feel better. Id a wry short time, by keeping on with the Syrup according to the directions, I could eat without pain or distress, and digest my I also slept soundly and naturally. oß?\ten my strength cumo b. ok and with it * the colour to my face. Iv short, after n, few weeks une of Mother .' eigel's Syrup, I was hearty and strong as ever. And I should be indeed ungrateful if I were not
willing that others should have the benefit of my experience. You are therefore free to print my letter if you think it will be useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Truran, Marton, Lincoln, Apiil 24, 1595." I simply desire to say to Mrs Truran that her idea about the blood is a perfectly correct one. All our food (the digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and in that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gets thin and poor (lacking in nourishment), we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the came of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or dy»pepsia. How easy this is to understand when once you get hold of the right end of it. Mother Seigel's Sprup has the peculiar power to correct what is wrong about the digestion, and thus enables the digestive machinery to make good rich blood. Which U life and health and beauty.
