They Must Agree.

As to matters that have no practical oatcome it is of no consequence whether we agree or not. The earth may he, as pome 9ay it in, a mo'ten mass (save for a shell a few"miles thick on the out side), or U may be solid and cool aM the way from London to Sydney. However it may he, we can do nothing about it. So >et the scientific chaps go on speculating to their heart's consent; the world will keep re volvi-g a? usual, and we shall have to continue picking np our living from its surface. Recently in my reading I have come upon artic es in certain medical journals — uncanny, uninteresting publications, that they are, for nonprofessional pprnsal — going to show that it is not the heart which impels the blood through the body, but the chemioal 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. Pair women would blush by the help of the capillaries as of old, and we should tie rags around oat fiDg^ts just the same. It follows, my brethren, that some things may be mys' erics to the end of the chapter, and nn hirm done, and others may differ without disturbing th • gerenty of our passing day*— a mot soothing reflec ion. Bnt the advantage or otherwise of a prrson's fo d aprre ing or riißgreing with him is not a mere ma'ier of opinion. There is only one way to look at that. As as whole, food must agro» with us. and we with v. or we are ruined. A lady of Sheffi- d, Mrs S. A. Smith, suffered a long wearisome and cost y illness, ?imply because her food failed to agree with her. For three years she was weak and wretched on account of it. Tbe light and pleasure

went out of her lifa. She n^rded to eat of course, just as she needed <o breathe; yet after every meal —commonly of light things taken in small quantities, am 1 slowly —she 1 was immediately seized with pains in the stomach, the chest, and the left side. Was not this a hard recompense for doing what nature compel <.d her to do —to eat? Any act which causes pain is performed aa seldom as possible, and as incompletely; For who warn s to suffer ?

Eating so littl* — not half as much as her body called for-— Mrs Smith lost flesh and strength. KeceSsariiy. Draw^ mo^e money out of the t ank than your deposit j and presently the bank, returns yoar cheques marked "No funds," To be sure. Nobody can make twice two equal five. " I got to be so feeb'e I could scaroVy get about," says the lady. " I was like this for three years from the spring o ( . 1893- -being worse in the spring than at other seasons. What to do more than I had done, I didn't know) when one dajs my aunt Mrs Wll iam Andrew, Of Wi'lough'on, urgfd me to take Mother Seigel's Syrup. After having done so for a short time, the complaint—indigestionwas better, and soon it wholly disappeared. I am now entirely cured and strong and hearty as I was before' my illness came upon me. You may rest assured that, after so fortunate an experience wi'h Mother Peigel's Syrup, I recommend it to all my friends, and in sending you this short sta'ement it is my wish that you shou'd print it for the good of others if you bo desire."— j[Sit<ntd) S. A. Smith, 44, Ditchingham Road, Sheffield, June 3, 1898.

"In April of thig year (1898)," says another, "my health began to fail. I felt drowsy, and lired with tbe least exertion. After every meal I had oppression at the chrst and Fides, and a great deal of pain. Whatever food I took disagreed with me, and I grew weak. lam a dressmaker, and when at my work I had bo great pain I could hardly bear it. I tried all the usual medicines for indiges'ion. but got worse and worse. One day in July I read about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and got a bottle of Mr Haiters'ey chemist, West India Dock Rokl, and in a few days felt better. After taking a second bott c I was curedj and have been well ever since." — (Signed) (Miss) Minnie Wyatt. 46, West India Dock Road, London, E., October 14, 1898.

Yrs, it is tru», health and life depend on a perfect agreement between ourselves and our food. This is not a matter of opinion. It is a vital and living relationship, and nothing does si much to promote the agreement as the frequent and time y use of Mother S'ige''s Syrup
