It was not the Climate.
•• I have be«n well as to my general health " —bo wrote the late Dr. 0. W. Holmeß a short time before his death— •• but have had a good deal of asthma. The climate ii cold and rough, but I have fonnd much that is delightful about my residence here in Borton (America), Perhaps, after,- all, the fault is not so much in latitude 42 as » __ . go »> That was it. The wise thinker did not deceive himself . He knew that it is the wasting muscles that complain cf the steepness of the hills and the thinning blood that fancies the winters are oolder than they used to be. And it was not because Mrs Amy Harvey had lstointereßt in her domestic affairs that she was led to say everything was a troub'e and a burden. No ; it was because she had lost her strergth. Whether a doty is a burden or not depends on the back which has to oarry it. Ah, dear me, how constantly' experience enforces that leßson upon us. dhen what keen concern we feel inthe apswer to the question : What will strengthen the quivering limba? What will nsioie the- vigour of the mind ? * Al* »ms.<" says Mrs Harvey, " I b*ve suffered off and on from indigestion A nd weakness. I felt low and languid, with a diaagreeab'e sinking sensation after taking my meala. I had no energy ; everything voa» a trouble and a burden. As soon as I had partaken of food, no mater how light I felt a fulness and a gnawing pain r? my chest, as if something were tearing I also suffered muoh from nervous headache and was often dizzy. My breathins was short, and if I exerted myself I wss Quite out of breath. As time went on I got extremely weak and could not attend «' I ,g*w doctor «tter doctor and was to'd bj them that my ailment was owing to my fcfcd not digesting." Whe doctors were right. That was the trouble, and the only one. Yet instead of of teing a comparative trifle, as many aHUow persons say. it is the most serious oFall diseases. Of course some of her food digested more or les* fully ; otherwise she could not have lived a fortnight. But the nourishment was never enough for i hi'Vtnts of the body. Hence the nervons hea&ohes, the asthma, the sinking sensaI ion. the dizziness, the gnawing pain, and the^fiibliog weakness. The body under theseStditions ie like a house abandoned to deeas. All goes to ruck and ruin. » "7%pk the doctorß' medicine," continues «|4t lady's plain account, " but my
; case was an obstinate one, and none of them seemed of any avail. "In May, 1891, a'ne : gbbour to' d me of the benefit she had derived from Mother Seigel'a Syrup. I got a bottle from Messrs W. Fox and Sons, Chemists, Bethnal Green, and when I had taken it two days I felt much relief. I continued taking it, and could eat and enjoy my food without having pain. I now gained strength and felt brighter than I have ever done in my life. '•Since then I have kept we 1, taking a dose or two of Mother Seigel's Syrup when I need it ; and I find it a'way3 puts m« right.

"In Ma:c , 1894," writea another, " I had a sevtre attack r.f influenza which left nie extreme'y weak. I was troubled with indigestion and want of appetite Having read of the " wonderful cures made by Mother Siegel's Syrup I decided to try i. I got a bott e from Mr Wm. Hy. Jones, the chemist iu Calt doniau Road. In two days I felt great ben- fit. I c mid eat, and food agreed with me, causing no pain. In a few days I was complete'y cured and well a-s ever. " Since that time I have k*pt Mother Seigel's Syrnp in the bouse as a family medicine, and it always relieves when any of u< suffer from indigestion, Ac. I have pleasure ia making this statement, and yon can publish it if you wish. (Signed) Geo. H. Barker, 44, Mon'pelier Road, Keutipn Town, London, N.W., June 9th, 189G.
