Don't let the Clock run Down.
» . "Thb ho^an body." says a great physician, " is a seventy-year cock." Yes, and Hke al' other clocks the tim? it will run depend? Jarge'v on how ■it is treated. Tak? the pendulum weight ofthe end of the wire and yonr clock will rattle away at the rate of ha'f a dozen honrs in on°. Neglect it and it will ran irrpguUrly ; now fast, now a'ow. Break the nninspring, or awh°e', and it stops instantly. Take intelligent care of it and a g od dock will serve your grandohildren a 9 fait'-folly as it now server yon. Th»re is an difference, how- A evpr, between "your clock and yonr body. Even after yowr cock is completely run down, and at a Btind*ti!\ yda can wirrf it ap and sot it going ag> in. Not so witb thp body. Once etopp dit goes no more. Wn know the limits of his meaning nerfeo'ly well, yet speakmg iterally, Mr Matthew L. Brown was not " como'etely iun down" at tbe time he refers to. Thankfnl we are, an'l more thankful still he is. for that. Bat h-» was frigb'fully near P. The pen'lu'um bea" ve^v slowly 'tnd weakly, and the hands con d .scarcely be trns ~d to toM the tap tiTte. «' About five years ago,'* writes Mr Brown, •* I was complet^y run down. . I los'. my appetite. I could g«t no'hing to li" on ray stomach. Pom?'in..s I would take dizzy _n<OM and neuriy fall down, and wou'd 86° back dots before my eyes. I keT»- ge'ting wirse ali the time. j " I trt-d diff»r=>nt patent medicines : • i they gave me no re!ie r . I kept getting worse. I tried two of the bert doctor, in
the p'aco ; they did me no good. _ was obl'ged to take to my bed. " I would take fur.it spells arid my heart would beat and flutter, and I would nearly smother for breath. I felt more Jike dying than living." [These fainting or sinking spells of which Mr Bvown speaks are a peculiar feature of the disease he was suffering from. Only modern physicians, and not all cf them, understand their gravity or have them the study they c&il for. No -Vfcensation is more alaming, none more i • cremora'ising to the patient. While- they i last the angle of death seems to have folded his wiDgs over the sufferer's pale and anxious face. The causa is a poison in the blood arising from continued fermentation of food in the stomach. It acts upon the nerves of the brain, lungs, and heart as a hand might impede thp pendulum of a great clock.] "I began to think," adds our correspondent, " that I never nhould get .around again. My wife wanted me to Mother Seigel's Syrup. I 3aid I didn't think it was any use. She went and got a bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and before I had taken it all I w_s able to go to my work. " I have taken several bottles since. I am now able to work as hard as ever. I would advise any one that is suffering as I was to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup; and it will not be in vain Yours truly (Signed) Mathew L. Brown, East Mapleton March 28th, 1895." Oar friend laboured under a profound attack of indigestion or dyspepsia. The symptoms he descried were due to i's effect upon the nervous system, and through that upon o' her organs. It follows tbat the medicine to avail him mast be one baying power to expel existing impurities from the blood, rouse *o. action the stomach and liver, render nutrition possible by means of the restored digestion, and so give new life to the whole . body. This is what Mother Seigel's Syrup' did for our correspondent, and does for all who appeal to it under like circumstance. Jt minds up the clock before the pendulum has ceased to swing. But k°ep an eye to that bodily clock of yours, and don't let it run so far d<> wn ' 1° other' words, the very hour you feel the first sign of illness take a dose of Mother Seigel's Syrup.
