The Glory of Man.

» Ths crown and glory of manhood is strength— power. All human conquests have been won by it ; individual and eollfictive. The earliest sign of decay in man is not usur'iy pain, but weakness ef 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. But ialways 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 Btrength, for in human beings tbtio is but one. What ia it? Perhapß the experience of Mr David Jones will help ns to an answer. "In the summer of 1891," he says, " I began to feel ill and out of sorts. I was weak and tired, and quite worn out with little exertion. I hSd a poor appetite, and after eating had pain and weight at th* ohest. My secretions were scanty ac. thick. My back felt stiff, and gave me much pain as I moved aboui For three years I Buffered like this, being at times better and worse. I consulted a doctor, who gave ma medicines and recommended Turkish baths ; bat I got no better for any. kind of treatment. " My brother then told me about Mother Baigel'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 con tinned with it, and was soon strong and well at ever. Since that time I take a dose of this remedy when I feel at all ailing, and it sets me right. I have praised Mother Beigel'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. (Signed) David Jones, 1, Dunlaee Street, Walton, Liverpool, July 81st. 1896-" , We have room for one more short letter before we try to come at the answer to the question with, which we set out.. It is exactly in the same line, and ought to make the results of our inquiry all the more dear and plain. "In the spring of 1888," proceeds the writer, "my health began to fail me. I felt languid and heavy, as if something had come over me. I had a bad taste in the mouth, my appetite was poor, and the ' little food I topk gave me pain across the ; . chest and between the shoulders. My food lay like lead on my stomach. I was con stantly spitting up thick phlegm, and wh> n in bed heavy sweati came over me. I got weaker and weaker, and from time to lime was confined to bed. Often I was so bad I could not dress or undress myself. •• Now better now worse, but never well I suffered for over five years. I took different kinds of medicines, and had a doctor, but got no real benefit from anything. ••• In July, 1893, a book was left at my house in which I read of cases like mine having been oured by Mother Seigel's Byrup. I got a bottle from the International Tea Company, Yeovil, and began taking it. In a short time I felt benefit, Mid, by continuing with with it gained $trtngth. I could eat belter, food agreed with me, and by-and-by I was strong and toeU. But for Mother Seigel's Syrnp 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 that, and that only. What, then, is the great enemy of strength, the fountain of weakneFS? Indigestion— dyspepsia. You see why and how, A child cou'd not miss the argument. What, then, restores strength? Mother Siegel's Syrup. In what way? By setting the digestive machinery in healthy operation". That is what it did for our correspondents and does daily for multitudes. Use it if you . need it, and pass the news to other weak OBM.
