Two Buckets and a Pipe.

Take two common water-buckets ; connect them at the bottom with a small pipe. Now undertake to fill one of them with water ; yon perceive at once that the water Unds to fill the other pail also. " What's the use of saying that ?" you ask me. " Every fool knows that water in connected reservoirs will assume the same level." Quite so. Yet the wisest men on earth didn't know it once. If the ancient Bomans had known it they wouldn't have cone to the trouble and expense of building their great acquedncts. Oh. dear! oh, dearl After a thing is pointed out what a lot of people are able to see it. gultoseeitthejJrst time? Ah! that takes eyes. To explain it the first time ? Ah thai takes brains. The blood circulated of jean before anybody even suspected it. Isn't that queer ? Now, there ia a matterBat let's have an example or two first, and the theory afterwards. A father writes thus about his daughter : "During the summer of 1890 my daughter, Bebecca, got into a weak, languid way. Her. appetite was poor, and after eating she had so much pain at the cheit and sides that she didn't know where to put herself. Bhe also complained of pain in the pit of the stomach, in the throat and at the back of the n«ck. Cold, clammy sweats used to break out all over her Her breathing became short and laboured, and at times she could not even lie in bed on account of it. She consulted two physicians, who prescribed for her " This was her general condition until January, 1898. when Bhe began taking Mother SeigeVs Curative Syrap. This preparation certainly had a remarkable effect. One bottle alone greatly relieved her. She relished her food, and got stronger. By

simply continuing to use this medicine in three months she was completely cured. Since then she has been well as ever she was. My married daughter, who has suffered from indigestion for a long time, seeing what this remedy had done for Rebecca, took it also, with the ' same good results. Yours truly, (Signed) Bartholomew Bell, Grocer, &c, Brompton, NorthallertoD, October 25th. 1893." " All my life," writes a women, " I have suffered more or less from siokness and spasms. I always felt weak, tired, and languid, and had no desire for company. [ had a bad taste in the mouth, and frequently felt sick and prostrate. I had no relish for food, and, after eating, had pain at the chest and side. Such waa my manner of life for years. Two years ago my sister told me of Seigel's Syrup ; I tried it, and even a few doses relieved me. I continued taking it, and soon my appetite improved, aad my food digested. Since that time I have felt quite a new .being — so light hearted and strong. What a pity for me that I didn't know of Seigel's Syrup years before. But better late than never. Tours truly, (Signed) Mrs Annie Goodger, 20, Bardolph Street, Leicester, May 10th. 1893." "From childhood," gays another, "I have suffered from indigestion and sick headaches. I never felt as if I wanted food, and -after eating I experienced the usual pains and distresses of the confirmed dyspeptic. The attacks of sickness and headache were often no les3 than dreadful. So-called medicines and remedies were, at the best, only temporarily useful. In January . 1892. a friend, living at Hackney, told me of Seigel's Syrup. I used it, and it cured me / never felt so well in my life as Ido now. (Signed) Miss L. White, 92, Barnsbury Road, Islington, London, April 20th, 1893." Now. see. Evidence like the above (though much more impressive) proves that Mother Seigel's Syrup either cures or relieves almost every known complaint. Yet it never was (nor is it now) recommended for any disease except indigestion and dyspepsia. What is the inference? That nearly every known complaint is caused by indigestion and dyspepsia — is, indeed, a symptom of it. " But everybody believes that nowadays," you say. Not everybody, but very many. The rest will bye-and-bye. Although the fact is as old as Adam, the discovery of it is new. Yet the principle will presently be as obvious to all as it now is to few.
