Explained in Five Minutes.

You have heard it said that the boy is father tp the man, Tes. Very good. Now see what a prodigious deal may be tied up in that idea. Youth is the sowing time of life and naturity the reaping time. You agree to that. Very good— again. In yonth nature outs forth every effort to build up yonr body. She absorbs everything she can lay hands on for that purpose. The whole body throbs with life as at no other time. Nature scrapes together building material (I mean food) from every direction. You know what eaters healthy children are. Natuer is not thinking of the future. She is thinking only of now— NOW. She is greedy to make you a man, and perfectly , careless oHwhat beoomes Of you ajter tnat. , # Your appetite is gauged by the needs of growth— not by yonr ability to. digest. So it comes to pass that/ in no end of cases, young' people eat too much. They eat ■wrong things, they eat without any thought of regularity. Hence insufficient gastric juice (digesting juice), stomach distension, ! and fermentation. Bits (small bits, of course) of undigested food get into the ! oiroulation, and through the right side of j the heart into the lungs, where they j obstruct the minute blood vesße's at the top of the lung's. j What then ? Why, they finally become ; organis d into tubercle or changed into the | chalky or cheesy deposits so often found ' there. The end, sooner or later, is con- j sumption. Overfeeding, irregular feeding i or onder feeding, all give rise to indigestion j and indigestion is, more than anything , else, the cause of consumption, and of a j lot of ailments which we suffer from besides. ■ For examp'e, a woman says ; "In the spring of 1891- I began to suffer from | weakness. I had a bad pain at the back of . my head ; my sight was dim, and specks J floated before my eyes I got very nervous 1 and loßt a deal of sleep, feeling no better I for going to bed. Gradually I got weaker ! and weaker, atd so thin I was nothing but skin and bone. I got so weak I had to be lifted from the bed to a chair by the fire; and when I felt stronger I went about by tbe aid of a stick. "I -few doctor after doctor and got medicine from ihe dispensary, but nothing helped me. After two years suffering a lady who < ame -io see me said she had . bfen behefited by Mother Seige 's Syrup, and gave me a bettle. After taking it a wdek I found myself improving; my appetite being better, and food agreeing with me. I had less sickness, and fe-t better altogether. Continuing with this ' medicine the pain and nervous feeling j aoon left me. Since then I have kept in good health, taking a do3e or two when ; needed. I have told many persons of what j Mother Seigel's Syrup did for rae, and you <)an - pub ish this statement as you wish. ; (Signed) (Mrs) Hannah Douglas. Main , Street, Portarlingtou, Queen's Co., Ireland, August 20th, 1896-" I Now, this woman did not bave consumption of the lungs as commonly understood ; ■he had something quite as bad— con- : sumption of the whole body with attendant pro -tation of the nervous system. Dis- . tinct lung disease might or mi^ht not have followed a little later. The point is this, and I want you not to miss it. Consumption arises from the introducti* n of foreign bodies into the lu-gs, wbicb com of tener from the stomach tban anywhere else, in tne way 1 have dt scribed. Hence dyspepsia causes it. ' |$ut dyspepsia causes wasting (as in this instance) rheumatism, bronchitis, gout, iippore blood, thin blood, skin eruptions, ' axid a hundred aches and comp'a'nts from top to toe. As I have Baid times beyond counting I say again— life begma^Ufe U nourished, and deaifctbeglnsfnthe stomach. Keep ifc-«ftiW&-a« toi-gas you can with Jfetbtc SelgePa Syrup. That will do for no*.
