Needless Alarm.

Need less Alarm.

♦ Whbther the suffering which people undergo from disease is more physical than mental i 3 a point not easy to decide. It depends largely on the nature of the disease, and the make-up of the individual. Experience seem to show, however, thai in one prevailing disease — indigestion 01 dyspepsia, the two kinds of suffering are very evenly divided, and both very great, the mental distress beiDg chiefly due to the illusions and deceptions which attend it. For example, though dyspepsia is solely an affection of the digestive organs it hat power to set up disorders in others which always alarm the sufferer, and often perples his medical advisers. These symptoms 01 sequences may relate to the head, the heart, the sight, the hearing, the lungs, 01 to other organs or functions. Take ar illustration or two. "In the spring of 1891," says Mr Ed ward Tatham, " I fell into a low, weal state of health. I had a foul taste in the mouth, and was constantly spitting up s thick phlegm. My appetite was poor and after eating I had fulness and pain at the chest— the latter seemed to be puffed oi swollen. What made me most anxious was my breathing, which came to be so difficuli and short that at times I could only catch my breath by an effort, i was led to fanov that something must ail my lungs, especially as so great a quantity of mucus gathered in my throat and mouth. It was usually worse at night, and I got very little deep on account of it ; sometimes none at all. In a morning I would be quite wore out. " As time went on I became very weak, and was much put to it to get about. I took all kinds of medicines and got no proper relief from anything. In February, 1893, Mr William Beardsley, grocer, Cot. manhay, told me how he had been cured oi a like trouble by Mother Siegel's Curative Syrup. Acting on his advice I got a bottle of this medicine from Mr Platt's Drug

Stores, Awsworth Boad, and after taking it felt quite another man. My breathing waa easier, and my food agreed with me. I continued using the Syrup, and got stronger and better every day. When I had taken four bottles I was as well as ever, being from all pain or discomfort. My wife, who had suffered for years from liver complaint, has taken the Syrup with the same good results as in my case. You are at liberty to make any use you like of this statement.

My appetite was poor, and after eating I had distresß at the stomach, together with shortness of breath, and a good deal of pain across the chest. Sometimes I would be . taken.with sudden dizziness, as though I must fall to the ground. Cold, clammy sweats used to break ont all over me and I trembled from head to foot. Finally, I got so weak I could scarcely walk to my work. Indeed, I had occasionally to leave my work ; I have been away as long as a month at a time. In this way I suffered for about two years. "In August, 1890, Mr Thompson, the grocer in Church Street, urged me to try Mother Siegel's Syrup. After taking only one bottle I felt better. My food agreed with me and I was stronger. Continuing with this medicine, gradually all pain left me, and I completely recovered my health. Since then I have kept the Syrup in the "house for use in time of need. You are free to publish this statement. (Signed) William Mallender, 71, Robinson's Building's, Newhill, Wath, near Sheffield, Oc- » tober 11th, 1895." I Cases of supposed disease of the heart, of the nervous system, of the kidneys, &c, ' constantly prove to be, not organic affections of those parts at all, but merely local \ or functional disturbances caused. by the ' toxic or poisonous principles thrown into i the blood by the decomposition of fermeni tation of food into the stomach ; otherwise by dyspepsia or indigestion. But uutil they are discovered to be so they are mistakenly • treated; and serious, often fatal, results ' follow. Until pronounced and undeniable symptoms of orgacic misohief show themselves (which is not the case once in a 1 hundred times) yon may take it for granted I that your ailment is some form of dyspepsia, easily curable by Mother Siegel's Syrup, as demonstrated by the two in--1 stances cited above.
