Theory of the Flaming Sword.

" Ah, talk of blessings ! What a b'essing is digestion I To digest. Do you ktfow what it means ? It is to bave the sun always shining and the shade a'ways ready for you. lt is to be met by smiles and greeted with k ; s.es. It is to hear <weet ounds, to sleep wiih p easani dreaYns to be touched ever by gentle, soft, cool hands. It htobe in Paradise.

" There came a grea'. indigestion upon the earth aud it was called a deluge. All the evil comes from this. Macbeth cou d not sleep ; it waa the supper, not the murder. His wife talked and talked ; it was the supper again. Milton had a bad digestion, and Cariyle must have had. the worst digestion in the world. Ah ! to digest is to be happy 1" There ! — how does that strike you for a burst of eloquence ? I quote from Trollope. If* there is' anything wrong about the thelogy yon must hold him responsib c. As for its physiology and pathology (pardon all these " ologies ") I can answer for the correctness of these two. And so can millions of people besides me. They speak of the curse of indigestion continually in every language; they groan and writhe under it in every land and climate.

" For many years," says one of this innumerable army of martyrs, " I was obliged to bear as best I cou'.d the torments of indigestion. My appetite was practically destroyed. I ate, of course, because one must eat or die ! but after mea'a I had great pain at the ohest and around the sides.

Sleep almost forsook my pillow, and naturally I was tired and exhausted. Some timet better and then worse; but never free from pain and illness, I lived on with little or no hope of getting well. It is hard y necessary to say that I had medioal treatment, yet no real benefit resulted fiom it. Happily at this time Mother Seigel's Syrup was broug t to my notice, and so strongly commended that I aid aside other medicines, which were doing me no good, and began using tliis one only.

" In a Bhort time I realised a great improvement ; food agreed with me and I gained strength. A ittle later — continuing to take the Syrup regularly as directed — the pains at the stomach, sides and ohest who ly ceased, and I have not felt them since. My indigestion was cared at last, and I enjoyed the blessing of health, My son, who suffered severely from rheumatism has been relieved by Mother Seigel's Syrnp as by nothing else he ever tried. In gratitude I give you full permission to publish my lettor .hould you desire." (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Barker, Field Lane, Braughiog, Ware, Herts, Oct. 7.h 1898.

It was a fortunate circumstance for Mrs. Sarah Gell, of Melchbourne, Bedfordshire, that one day she had a personal talk with Mr Smith, the butcher at Rushden. He to d the lady that in his opinion if she went on suffering from indigestion and asthma (one of ita consequences) it wou'd be because Bhe neglected to use Mother Seige'.s Syrup. "And," said Mr Smith, " I speak from knowledge." She had been ill with this abominable ci meut for many years, and had spent time and money in unavailing efforts t . obtain r lief.

Acting on Mr Smith's advice, Mra. Gell began v ing tbis remedy at once, and tells the outcome in a letter of which we have room for the cone nsi n on y : — "" " I was better almost immediately, and was soon as well and healthy as one oould wish to be. Now I keep ' Mosher Seigel ' n tbe bouse and it never fai is to help us when needed for any ) assing comp aint." (Signed) Saran Gell, Oct. Sth, sth, 1898.

Judging from tbe force of his oomment v>n the disease, I shou d say Mr Trollope j knew something about indigestion from ' experience Most literary people do. To them, and to all other victims, I confidently commend the begt remedy yet found— Mother Seigel's Syrup. I
