Theory of the Flaming Sword.

" Ah, ta'k of blessings ! What a b'esaing is digf stion ! To digest. Do you know what it means ? It is to have th& sun always shining and the shade a'ways ready for you. It is to be met by smiles and greeted with k : s3es. It is to hear Bweet sounds, to sleep with p'easaut dreams to be touched- ever by gentle, soft, cool hands- It is ta be in Paradise. "There came a great indigestion upon the earth aß«Lit was called a de'ugp. A 1 the evil comes from this. Macbeth cou d not 3leep; it was the supper, not tha murder. His wife talked and talked; it was the sapper again. Milton had a bad digestion, and Oarlyle must have had the worst digestion in the world. Ah Ito digest is to be happy !" There !— how does that strike you for a burst of eloquence ? I quote from Trollope. If there is anything wrong about the thelogy you must hold him reaponsib'e. As for its physiology and pathology (pardon nil thes3 " 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 eveiy 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 ob'iged to b ar as best I cou'd the torments of indigestion. My appetita was practically destroyed. I ate, of course, because one must eat or die ! but after mea's I had great pain at the chest and around the Bides. Sleep almost forsook my pillow, and naturally I was tired and exhausted. Some times better and then worse, but neva* free from pain and illness, I lived oa with lit !e or no hope of getting well. It is hard y necessary to say that I had m dioal treatment, yet no real benefit routed fiom it. Happily at this time Mother Seigel's Syrup Was brought to my notice, and so strongly commended that I laid aside other medicines, which were doing ma no, good, and began using this one only. "In » short time I realised a great improvement ; food agrer-d with me and I gained strength. A little later— continuing to take the Syrup regularly as directed — the pains at the stomach, sides and chest who ly ceased, and- 1 have not felt them sfaeftT My indigestion was cured at la^t. and I enjoyed the blessing of health, My son, who suffered severely from rheumatism hAs been relieved by Mother Seigel's Syrup a* by nothing else he ever tried. In grati tadc I give you full pc mission to publish my letter phould yon desire." (Signed) ( Jfw) Ana Barker, Sfrtil lone, Braughing, Wore, Herts. Oct. 7th 1808. It was a fortunate circumstance for Mrs. Sarah Gell, of Melchbourne, Bedfordshire, . that on* day she had a personal talk with Mr Smith, the butcher a*. Bushden. He tod the lady that in his opinion if she went on suffering from indigestion and asthma (one of its consequences) it won'd be becauso she neglected to use Mother Seige 's Syrup. " And," said Mr Smith, " I speak from knowledge." She had been ill with this abominable ai'ment for many years, and had spent time and money in unavailing efforts t > obtain r lief. Acting on Mr Smith's advice, Mrs. Gell ! began a ing this remedy at one 1 , and tells the outcome in a letter of which we have room for the conclusion on'y : — " I was better almost immediately, and was soon as we'l and healthy as ona could wish to be. Now I keep ' Mother Seigpl ' in the house and it never fars to help u=» when needed for any passing comp aict." (Signed) Sarah Gell, Oct. sth, sth, 1898. Judging from the force of his comment on the disease, I shou'd say Mr Trollope knew something about indigestion from * experience. Most literary people do. To them, and to all other victims, 1 confidently commend the best remedy yet found — Mother Seigel's Syrup.
