The Bottom Principle.

The Bottom Principle.

Nothing "merly happens so." Always keep that fact where you can gee it: Whatsoever comes to pass has an adequate cause right behind it. I don't say this as though it were a new discovery. Not a bit. It is the bottom principle of all knowledge. But we are apt to forget it — that's the point ; we forget it, and so have a lot of trouble there's no need to have.

Here is Miss Esther May, whom we are glad to hear from, and to know. In the matters set forth in her short letter she speaks, not for herself only, but for twothirds of the women in England.

"In July, 1890," she says, "I had an attack of Influenza, which left me in a weak, exhausted condition. I felt languid and tired. Everything was a trouble to me. The good appetite that is natural to me was gone ; and when I did take a little food it gave me a dreadful pain in the chest. There was also a strange sensation in my stomach. I felt as if I had eaten too much when perhaps I had scarcely eaten anything " Then, after a time, I began to have a dry, backing cough, and to break out in ooid, clammy sweats. Not very long afterwards my ankles began to puff up and swell, so that when I stood on my feet it was very painful. " I gradually got worse, and worse. The medicines given me by the doctors seemed to have no effect. I lost flesh, like one in consumption, and I feared I should never be any better.

"In March, 1893, a gentleman told me about Mother Seigel s Curative Syrup and said he believed it would help me. Although I had no faith in it I sent for the Syrup, and began taking it. One bottle relieved me and gave me some appetite. I ate and enjoyed my food as I had not done for years. I gained strength every day. " I am now as healthy and hearty as I ever was in my life, and I owe it to Mother Seigei's Syrup. (Signed) Esther May, Buckingham Boad, North-fleet, Kent, September Bth, 1893."

"In the Spring of 1887," writes another correspondent, "my wife got into a low state of healt.li. She complained at first of feeling tired and weary, and cou'd not do her work as usual. Her mouth tasted badly ; she couldn't eat and she had a deal of pain in her chest and back.

" Later on her legs began to swell, and soon the swelling extende 1 to her body. With all this her strength failed more and more, until she cou'd just go about the house in a feeble fashion, and that was all. No m dical treatment did more than to relieve her, as you may ray, for the moment.

" This was her condition wh n Mother Seigel'a Syrup first came under our notice. We read of it in a book that, was left at our house. After she had taken the Syrup only a few days she wa* dpcidedly better. And, to conclude, by a faithful use of the medicine the Fw.j'ling went down, her appetite came bpck, a -id she was soon as well and strong as ever. Seeing what the Syrup had done for my wife, I began to take it for 'ndigestion and dyspepsia, which had troubled me for ye i-r ; and it completley cured me. (Signed) J. Heath, Orotava House, Alpha Road, Cambridge, June 15th, 1:93."

We were speaking of nothing happening withou' a cause. The cause of all the sufferirg of these two women was one and the same — indigestion and dyspepsia. Men have it often enough, but this disease is especially the bane of women— with chronic constipation as one of its worst features. It is the cauße of nearly all the ills and ailments they puffer from. Let every women get the book which Mr Hea'h speaks of and learn all about it. They can thus find out what the first symptoms are, and take Mother Seigei's Syrup the very day they appear.
