pood Food — Good DigestionGood Cheer.

" Moral character is located in the Btomrch," b<*t3 a recent wrier. He is wrong; but there is a shade of truth in the Willing to trust others to look after the i Arms tad ammunition of his annie?, but i me comou^ary department he looked ' liter himself The bravest men won't fight unless they are fed, he said. Nor $11 they. 'That's why We -are not surprised to find Mr William Jones saying that at a certain ttsa he was in a low and desponding state $ mind. He gives the reason himself in frhree words. "I was weak." And why Was he weak ? He explained that, too. **t was always Ftrong and healthy." he says, "up to January, 1892. Then I had a severe attack of influenza, followed by congestion of the lungs. After this I never gpt op my Strength, and I wa* low, weak, ifmd desponding. I had a bad taste in the mouth, my appetite was poor, and every morsel of food \ took gave intense pain at pjy ohest. After every meal I was sick ygmiting a green filthy fluid, which was laixed with blood. 'We shall have no trouble to understand this tipeciat phase of Mr Jones, illness. 3*he creert, fi'-thy fluid wan mucus mingled ffith bile, and the blood came from the small blood-vessels, which were ruptured jln ret ohing and straining. The bile was Out of its place ; that's why nature tried to get rid of it. But low did it get out of its place ? Wait a bit . we'll come to that presently. " I had," continues our fiend, " dreadful attacks of cramp in the s'omach, and the gnawing pain was well nigh unbearable. At night I got but little rest ; Sometimes none at all — oo'd, clammy swrats breaking o it all over me, and in the morning I had barely the strength to raise myself. When I weut'out of doors my breathing waa so bed I had to stop and re^t every few yards. [ The cramp wbb caused by the gas arising from the ferment d food, and the short breathing by a partial paralysis of the nerves, created by the poisonous acids which had entered the blood from the B'omach. The nerves wore also enfeebled by the enforced starvation — like all the rest of bis body.] "As month > fter month went by." says Mr Jones, " my relativ <g and fri nde could see me wai4ing away and apparently sinking into the grave. I bee me as thin 08 a lath, and yon could s»e through my bands. My legs and face wre attenuated to the same extent, and as for my rouse es they seemed >o be all complete y gone"

[Now, inasmuch as when people waste away the fat goes first, and the muscles and other tissues last, you can perceive how far advanced in a decline our good friend really^ftß.] " Yet I continued in this condition," he says, " altogether for over seventeen months. I was attended, off and on, by four doctors but their medicines had no good effect on me. I atao used lnng tonics «nd cod-liver oil, bat to no purpose. •• In June of this year (1893) I first read of Mother Seigel's Sjrnp, and my wife got me a bottle, from Mr Cole, the Grooer, at arn«fWMii< Af Mr tttia* II » few <U?i X f «tt

relieved, my appetite improved, and the sickness (the nausea) left me. Keeping Ori with the Syrup I gained strength every day and in a month I could wa k and ride, and was goon as well and strong as ever. Your remedy saved my life, and I wish others to know it. You can refer enquirers to me. (Signed) William Jones, Bridge Inn, Kentchurch, PontrilaSj Herefordshire, October 31st, 1893."

The case of Mr Jones and his recovery as s*t forth by him are well known in his neighbourhood. His wife says that one of the doctors o'd^her that all hope was gone. But happiiy the doctor was mistaken, as the wisest of us sometimes are. His disease was chronic inflammatory dyspepsia and that only. But that was enough, mercy kndws, and a fatal end to it was not far off when Mother Seigil's Curative Syrup had a chance to do its healing work. Our friend is cheerful now b- cause he is strong; and he is strong because this remedy set his digestion to rights.
