They Must Agree.

As to matteis that have no practical outcome it is of no consequence whether we agree or not. The earth may be, as some Bay it is, a molten mass (save for a shell a few mileß thick on the out side), or it may be solid and cool all the way from London to Sydney. However it may be, we can do nothing about it. So et the scientific chaps go on speculating to their hi art's content ; the world will keep revolving as usual, and we shall have to continue picking up our living from its surface. Becently in my reading I have come upon artio es in certain medical journals— • uncanny, uninteresting publications, that they are, for nonprofessional perusal — going to show that it is not the heart which impels the blood through the body, but the chemical action of oxygen inhaled by the lungs. A prodigious discovery, if it is a discovery at all. Yet what odds would it make ? None whatever. Fair women would blush by the help of the capillaries as of old, and we should tie rags around cut fingers just the same. It follows, my brethren, that some things may be mysteries to the end of the chapter, and no harm done, and others may differ without disturbing the serenity of our passing days — a most soothing reflec'iorf. But the advantage or otherwise of a person's food agreeing or disagreeing with him is not a mere matter of opinion. There is only one way to look at that. As as whole, food must agre« with us, and we with ir, or we arft ruined. A lady of Sheffie d, Mrs S. A. Smith, suffered a long wearisome and cost'y illness, simply because her food failed to agree with her. For three y^ars sh<> was weak and wretched on account of it. The light and p'easure went out of her life. She not d?d to eat of course, just as Bhe needed 'o breathe ; yet after every meal —commonly of light things taken in small quantities, and slowly : — she was immed'.nte'y sizd with pains | in the stomach, the chest, and the left j side. Was not this a hard recoaipen«e for doing what nature compel ed her to do . —to fat? Any act which causes pain is performed as seldom as possible, and as mc mp!ete!y. For who wants to suffer ? j Eating so little — not half as much as her body callfd for — Mrs Smith lost flesh and strength. Necessari'y. Draw more money out of the than your deposit and present'? the bank returns your cheques marked "No funds," To be sure. Nqbody can make twice two equal five. 11 1 got to be so feeble I could scaroa'y get about," soys the lady. " I was like this for three years from the spring o f 1893- -being worse in the spring than at other seasons. What to do more than I bad done, I didn't know, when one day, my aunt Mrs Wil'iam Andrew, of WiMongh'on, urged me to take Mother Seigel's Syrup. After having done so for a short time, the complaint— indigestion— was beMer, and soon it wholly disappeared. I am now entirely cured and strong and hearty as I wa* before my illnes* came upon me. V v may rest assured that, after so fortunate an experience wi h Mother SeigeJ's Syrup, I reonmmend it to all my friends, and in sending you this short sta'ement it is my with that you should print it for thp good of others if you so desire."— (Sionfd) S. A. Smith, 44, Ditchingham Road, Sheffield, June 3, 1898. "In April of this year (1898)," says another, "my health began to fail. I felt drowsy, and tir*d with th" lenst exertion. After every meal I had oppression at the chrst and Fides, and a great da of pain. Whatever food I took disagreed with me, and I grew weak. lam a dressmaker, and when at my work I had so great pain I could hardly bear i f . I tried all the usual medicines for indigestion, but got worse and worse. One day in Ju!y I read about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and got a bottle of Mr Ha'ters'ey chemist, West India Dock Eo d. and in a few day* felt better. After taking a s cond bott c I was cured, and have been well over since." — (Signed) (Miss) Minnie Wyatt, 46, West India Dock Road, London, F... October 14, 1898. Yea. it is tru\ health and life depend on | a perfect agreement between ourselves and i our food. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a vital and living re'ationslrip, and | nothing does st much to promote thß agreement as the frequent and titne'y use of Mother Seigel's Syrup.
