The Glory of Man.

The crown and glory of manhood is strength— power. All human oonquests have been won by it ; individual and collective. The earliest sign of decay in man is not usually pain, but weakness »f some kind— of mind or body, or both. This may be inevitable sequence of advanced years, or it may. as we all know, show itself at any period of life. Bat it always means that the sources of strength are failing, as the lessening of the water in | a river means a drying up of the springs and streams which feed it. I said " sources " of strength, using the plural Word. I should have said " source " of strength, for in human beings there ia but one. What is it ? Perhaps the experience of Mr David Jones will help us to an answer. " In the summer of 1831," he says, '* I began to feel ill and out of sorts. I wasuik weak and tired, and quite worn out witfr^ little exertion. I had a poor appetite, ana 1 after eating had pain and weight at the chest. My secretions were scanty and thick. My back felt s'iff, and gave me much pain as I moved about. For three M years I suffered like this, being at times - : i better and worse. I consulted a •doctor, who gave me medicines and recommended Turkish baths ; but I got no better for any kind of treatment. " My brother. then told me about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, but I had no faith in advertised medicines. He.however, urged me to take it, and after taking a few doses I experienced so much relief that I continued with it, and was soon strong and well as ever. Since that time I take a dose of this remedy when I feel at all ailing, and it Bets me right. I have praised Mother Seigel's Syrup to all my friends, many of whom have tried it and been benefited by it. Your can publish this statement as you like.

It is exact'y in the Bame line, and ought to make the results of oar inquiry all the more clear and plain. "In the spring of 1886," proceeds the writer, "my health began to fail me. 1 felt languid and heavy, as if something had come over me. I had a bad taste ia the mouth, my appetite was poor, and the little food I took gave me pain across the chest and between the shoulders. My food lay like lead on my stomach. I was constantly spitting up thick phlegm, and wh n in bed heavy sweats came ever me. I got weaker and weaker, and from time to time was confined to bed. Often I was so bad I could not dre3B or undress myself. " Now better now worse, but never well I suffered for over five ytars. I took different kinds of medicines, and had a doctor, bat got no real benefit from thing"ln July, 1893, a book was left at my house in which I read of cases like mine having been cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I got a bottle from the Inter* national Tea Company, Yeovil. and began taking it. In a short time I felt benefit, and, by continuing with with it gained strength. I could eat be'ter, food agreed with me, and by-and-by I was strong and well. But for Mother Seigel's Syrup I believe I should not now be alive. You are at liberty to publish this statement.

All strength, of body or of mind, comes from tha\ a r d that only. What, then, is the great enemy of strength, the fountain of weakness ? Indigestion— dyspepsia. Tou see why And how, A child cou'd not miss the argument. What, then, restores 3trengih ? Mother Siegel's Syrup. Ia what way ? By setting the digestive machinery in healthy operation. That ia what it did for our correspondents and does daily for multitudes. Use i l if you nor d it, and pas 3 the news to other weak ones. .. '
