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 say it is, a molten mass (save for a shell a few miles thick on the out side), or it may be solid and cool all the way from London 10 Sydney. However it may be, we can do nothing about it. So et the scientific chaps go on speculating to their heart's con:ent; the world will keep revolving as iHual, and we shall have to continue picking up our living from its surface. Becently in my reading I have come upon artic 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, bat the chemical action of oxygen inhaled by the lungs. A prodigious discovery, if it is a di c coverv at all. Yet what odds would it make ? None whatever. Fair women would blush by 1 the help of the capi'laries as of old, and we should tie ra.gs 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 dayB — a most soothing reflec'ion. 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 i , or we ar- ruined. A lady of Sheffie'd, Mrs w . A. Smith, suffered a long wearisome and cost y illness, simply because her food failed to agree with her. For three y ars she was weak and wretched on account of it. The light and p easure went out of her life. She netded to eat of

course, just as she needed (o breathe ; yet after every meal— coumdnly of light things taken in small quantities*, and slowly — she 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 ed her to do r^toeat? Any act which causes pain is performed as seldom as possible, and as incompletely. For who warns to suffer ? Eating so little — not half as much as her body called for — Mrs Smith lost flesh and strength. Necessari y. Draw more money out of the lank than your deposit 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 scarce'y get about," says the lady. " I was like this for three years from the spring of 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 Wi''ough'on, urg-d me to take Mother SeigePs Syrup. After having done so for a short time, the complaint— indigestion — was better, and soon it wholly disappeared. I am now entirely cured and strong and hearty as I was before my illness came upon me. Yon may rest assured that, after so fortunate an experience wi<h Mother Peigel's Syrup, I recommend it to J all my friends, and in sending you this j Bhort statement it is my wi=*h that you shonld print it for th* good of others if you go desire."— (Siened) S. A. Smith, 44, Ditchingham Road, Sheffield, June 3. 1898. "In April of this year (1898)," says another, "my health began to fail. T felt drowsy, and tired wilh the least exertion. After every meal I had oppression at the chest and sides, 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 so great pain I could hardly bear it. I tried all the usual mpdicines for indigestion^- but: got worse and worse. One day in July I read about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and got a bottle of Mr Ha'ters'ey chemist, West India Dock Ro-d, and in a few days felt better. After taking a second bott c I wag cured, and have been well ever since." — (Signed) (Miss) Minnie Wyatt, 4G, West India Dock Road, London, 8., October 14, 1898. Yes, it is true, 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 so much to promote the agreement as the fr quent and time'y use of Mother Seigel's Syrup
