Sleep When Work is Done.
v it* . ; r Dobino the late summer (lS96),2^&ssed ' several weeks in a foreign city nearly 700 ; mileß further south than London. We i 5 had about ten days intense heat and for ; sfx nights, when it was worst, I do not ! think I slept as many honrs together, j I The resultiog nervous collapse was eknp'y ! ; i awfu 1 . My brain reeled, I could neitlaefr > t understand nor do anything rightly. I,i w ilked as the gojsd Book says, " io-a vain < s show." What "a I>les.3ed thing Kjrdleep,, t how destructive, how ki ! ling to loss m. In healthy seep the nervous system ifl inactive — more especially that of the brainr c and spinal cor.l. The body iies quiet, the [ muscles relaxf d, the pu'se slower than when; i 1 we are awake, and the breathing less: j ' frequent but deeper. Then nature — Iwisel ' k^enn 1 of ihe House of Life— proceeded la| t enew the eiergies expended throughj'lhei j 1 day. To miss thi3 rsnawa', even in part,; ;' 2 is to tread the edge of insanity and look j t ioto the rmuth of dea h. : \ y "ilethought I heard a voic3 c*y, ' Sleep : 5 no rr ore ; Macbeth doth, murder sleep ! ' " j So sail Macbeth himself ; but there is a Dower which murders more sleep th*n ever did Duncin's assassin; and to that Mrs | ; r Beattie aUude3 when she say 3of her ; 5 daughter, " Site got no sleep." ' ■ 1 "In May, 1891," writes the lady , w raj \ * daughter Letitia fell into a low, weak eondiuon, and cou'd not get up her strength. , f She had no appetite, and what little food i she took gave her great pain at tha oifaesi I and s"de. She got no sleep at night, fMd :■; s became very nervous and low-spirited. r ] > "As time pass=d by she grew weaker ami • r more feeble, and we thought she would ' ;ever get better. A doctor attended ber f but none of his medicines seemed to ssuit her case, and for two years she continued, ; T to su'Jer. . : #![?,■ t " One day she read in a book aboiJiS ' Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup and what ; it had domf for others. She got a bottle ' from Mr Nicholls, chemis 1 , Donegal Place; » and after taking it began to improve, being able to eat, and her food agreeing with \ her. After having used this medicine a 9hort time she was strong and well as evjit and has since been in good health. 5 long time I myself suffered from weakneasl! ' and indigestion, and seeing what good ' Mother Seigel's Syrup had done, 1 tool: U . and was complete y restored to sound health. You may use this statement a? you like. (Signed) (Mrs) Mary Beattiß, : -23 Trinity Square, Belfast, August Hit, I 1896." ii i "In the early part of 1894," write^f | another, " I began to suffer with indigetl- ! ; tion. I had a poor appetite, and all food , gave me pain ajt my chest and a gnawing !; \ , feeling at the stomach. No matter how \ light the food I took iftsA pain and sick | ! headache. ; j; ' "For over a year I was tormented lib*!!! this, when Mr John Weir, living in tliia !' j place, told me how he had been cured ™>br Mother, Seigel's Syrup, and reoorQraerS||Kl , | me to try it. I did so, and soon all palm j ji: ' 'eft me, and I have since enjoyed good : health. I know many persons residing in I this district who have been benefited b,f f ; taking the same medicine. Often in ray ; shop I hear persona say what it has dotut for them, You are at liberty to pabllsli ? j this let er. (Signed) Alexr. Wilson, i General Mrcbant, Castlewel'an, Newcastle, J Co. Down, Ireland Aug. 15th, 1896." I* 1 Indigestion or dyspepsia destroys tlie4|| power to sleep by starving, and thus , weakening, the nervous system. Indeed ; ; the whole body starves, and is thrown into ' profound disorder. Food may be taken into the stomach, but, a3 people constantly say "It does no good." No ; but in a sense it does harm. Fermented, soured, undigested it develops poisons which act upon the system somewhat as a pestilence ; does upon a community Fleßh is lost, strength gives way to trembling weakness, courage is supplanted by fear, and life is dreary and desolate. That Mother Seigel 'a j Syrup shou'd bo able to cure a disease so common and so terrible is reason for : gratitude to us all.
