The Man who knows the Road.
♦ — . He drives directly home, even in dark .sights, does the man who knows the road. The over-hanging gloom, the deceptive shadows, the uncertain sounds, don't bother him. He can feel the ground under ' bis waggon wheels, and the "lay of the land" ia open to him as at olear noontide. It ia the stranger in those parts who is confused and befuddled, who knooks people op to ask questions, who finally lodges in the ditoh. Where to go, and bow to get there; what to do, and bow to do it— why, the man who knows that oomes to the front everywhere and always. Bat the opposite —the waste of time, money, power, health, Ac, in blind experiments, how disheartening and ditastroos it is I Take an illustration of this sort, and you will see how it fit* in a minute. "In the spring of 1892," says a lady who lives down near the east coast, <' I began to feel ill. I had a poor appetite, and after everything I ate, no matter how simple it was, I was seized with great pain across the chest and around the Bides. I was frequently siok, vomiting a sour, bitter fluid. I was almost afraid to eat, and my food gave me ao strength. In this state I continued, now a bit better, and then worse until December, 1893, when I became very ill. I got so weak I could hardly bear the ' weight of my body oh my feet. / tried this and 1 tried that— ail kinds of medicines I heard of, but none of them, gave me any relief: "In January, 1894, I read, in- a little book about the cow» don* by Mother SaigeVs Syrup- Tbe book contained letters tm» people who had been cured, some of wfaov had suffered like me. I got a bottle from Miss Caroline Foster, giocet ao4 diner. High Street, an- this ptac* After taking it iw«*ißßCb. better. I bad a new jdHy*ferf;xtf mnd no mote dittniff liter
eating. I continued taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, and was soon free from all pain and sickness and fast gaining strength. Since then I have been in the best of health, and needed no medicine. (Signed) Mrs Eleaiior Clay, Messiugham, Brigg, Lines, April 30th, 1895." "In the early part of 1875," writes another, 41 my health began to fail me. I felt low and weak, and lost all potfer and disposition to exert myseif. After every meal t had pain in the chest and all over me. I felt so tight around the waist that it seemed as though something was holding me. I was much troubled, with a sickening wind coming up from. my stomach; and now and then 1 belched up a sour fluid that bit my throat and half choked me. j Then, too, I had attacks of spasms, which gave me intense pain. I got about my work slowly and in much distress, and grew gradually weaker and more despondent in mind. / tried all the various medicines I coiild hear of that might possibly be goad for vie, but none of them, xotre of any avail. "After five tedious years of suffering, my daughter, who is in service in London, wrote me of the benefit her mistress had derived frem the use of Mother Seigel'B Curative S/rup when troubled much as. l I was. I replied,: and my daughter sent me two bottles of the Syrup, and after having taken it, I felt quite like a new jvoman. I had no pain after eating, and was in better health than I had been in sinoe I waa first takes, ill. tJ?K>m.<*hat time onwards my health >«w gep4 aj&d if I ail anything temporarily, asltfe best of U3 will, a €«w doses of Mother Seigel's Syrup put me right. ,1 have told many persons of what this now celebrated remedy did for me, and am willing you should publish my statement if you .desit^ to do so. ' (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Knig&t, near the Church, Fenny Compton, Lsamlhgtod, September 27th, 1895." ' ■•• • By looking baofc to the italicised words in these letters the reader will catch my point on the instant., Both these ladies, not knowing the true remedy for their disease (indigestion and dyspepsia), blindly experimented with anything they could get hold of. Under like oircumstancea we all do the same. When one doesn't know the ! road he is almost certain to blunder and stumble ; and he can't know Uutil he , learns Now, in all ailments of the digestion, with the local symptoms whioh pro- ' ceed from it, Mother Seigel's Syrup is, so to put it, the right road. ' Follow jit faithfully* and you are fairly Bare to bring up in the pleasant' shelter of good health. Know-, ing this, direct your neighbours. : .
