Hard Work and Easy Work

Tbshe was a time very lately when Mr Donato Arnoldi found it hard to keep up with his work. Not that there was more to be done than usua', but he: didn't feel like working at all. Hewaadull. He had no edge. If he could have afforded it he would have knocked off altogether. But , there's where it is. Thqse of us who must work when we are sharp, must keep ( on workingwhen we are dull. Necessity obliges. Expenses keep on, and so we must keep on. ,-,.., Dear, dear, what a thing it would bo if we were always right up to the mark-eat ing, sleeping, and working with a re lsb. W« might not have money to burn even then, but we should have some to Eave. Well let s hear Mr Arnoldi. "At Easter, 1898," he says, " I began to feel as if a olould had come over me. I was weak, low, and tried. My tongue wasthiokly coated, and my mouth k*-pt filling with a thick, tough phlegm. Jcould eat fairly wel 1 . yet my food seemed to do me no good. After eating I had a feeling of heaviness at the chest and pain at the side. ' -„.... •• I lost a deal of sleep, and night after night I lay broad, awake for hours. I kept up with my work, but I was so weak that I was scarcely fit for it. This state of things natu ally worried me and I consulted a doctor. He gave me medicin-rs that relieved me for a time, and then I went bad as ever. ■ ■ ■ " Seeing this, I saw another doctor who said my st >mach, and perhaps other organs, were in a very bad way. I took his medioines, but they did not help me as I ho, ed theywoa!d. On the contrary I gt worse and worse. . •• At this time cold, clammy sweats began to break out over me, and as I walked my footsteps were uncertain. Sometim?s my legs gave way under me, as if they were too weak to bear the weight of my body. "Not to trouble you wi h details, it may be enough to say that I was in this miserable condition month after month. In fact, I came to think I never should be any better. " Then I bethought me of a medicine I had heard highly spoken of— Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I said to mys9lf, I will try it. lam thankful I did. After taking only two bottles all the pain was gone, and shortly I was well and strong as ever Since then I have had good health and worked without trouble. When I feel I need it, I take a dose of the Syrup, and it keeps me right. ' "I am a surgical instrument maker, and think my illness was due to the quicksilver that I worked amongst acting upon me when in a low state of health. At all events, I feel no ill effects now from the mercury I use in my business. (Signed) Donato Arnoldii 39, Spencer Street, Olerkenwell, London, May Ist, 1894. No doubt lead, arsenic, mercury, and other poisons do often produce injurious effects on those who habitually handle them ; but the symptoms in Mr Arnoldi's case go to show that his ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia. This abominable disease generates plenty of poisons of its own, and has no need of help from outside death-dealers, He wasn't able to eat much nor to digest what he did eat, and hi nerves got weak and shaken because they were not fed. That accounts for hia waksfa'nes3 and for his uncertain footsteps. Take the ashes out of your furnace, o ear the draught , and light a fresh fire, and things are buzzing and humming directly. And that's what Mother Seigel's Syrup does for the human body, when it sets the digestive system in proper opera tion.
