Don't let the Clock run Down.
+ .■♦« The human body," says a gmt pKMioian, " is a seventy-year cock." and Uke »U other clocks the fimn it. will ran depends largely on hot? .it. is treated, Tftke the peridhlum weight off tfae end of the wire and your clock wilt rattle away at the rate of half a doz»n UoQrs io one. Neglect it an& it will run imgalarly; toow fast, now sow. Br»»ak. the .mainspring, or a wheel, and it stops Jjwtantly. Take intelligent, care of it and ' ft grod clock will serve your grandohildien M faithfully as it now serves yon. There is an important difference, howler, between your clock and your hody Bvdn after your cock is co-npleMy m. 1 ddwn, and at a stand till, you can wind it up And set it going ag.'iin- Not so with th« body. Ones ojtopp dit goes no more. We know the limits cf his mpaniuj? t^rieotly weM, yt sneatmg • iterally, Mr Matthew L. Brown wps net " Completely »un down " at the time he refers to. Thankful we »re, and more 'hankfnl sti'l "he is. for that. But h» waa fright ful'y oea>r it. The pendu'um bea' very slowly «nd weakly, and the hands cpu d. scarcely t* tms «»d to teTl the tro«- time. •• About five years »go," wntea Mr Brown, "I was complete y run down. I lost my.fcpifettte; < I <sould g*t nothing to li on vgiy stomach . Pome'imes I would take dizzy spells and nearly fall down, and would see black dots before myeyes. I kept getting, worse all th^ time. "I tri d different patent medicines* they gave me no relief. I kept getting worse. I tried two of the be^t doctors in the p ace ; they did me no good. I was obl'ged to tak*> to my bpd. " I would take faint spells and mv heart would beat nnd flutter, and T wou*d nearly •mother for breath. I felt more like dying than living." [There feinting or sinking ppe'ls of which Mr Brown sppafes ar* a peculi r feature of the disease he was suffering from. Only modern physicians, and not all of them, understand tbeir gravity or have given them the study they cII for. No sensation is more a'aming, none more demoraising to 'the patient. While they last the angle of death sepm3 to have folded his wings over the Fufferer's ra'e and anxious face. .The cau«e is a poison in the b'ood ari-ing from cont : nued fermentation of food in th«> stomach. It acts upon the rtrrves of the brain, lungs, and heart as a hand might impede the pendulum of a prr at cock.] ; , "I be? an to think," »dd3 pur correspondent, ' that I never shoa'd g»-t around again. Mv wife wanted ,m«v to try Mother gsiiel's. Syrup. I ?a : d I didn't' think it was any use: She went and g t a bottt* of Bffttwr SrigeVs Syrup, and before I h«d taken it all I w s abe to go to my work. •' I have taken several lnV l es since. 7 am now able to work -as bard an ever. I would advise any onp that is suffering as I was to try Mother Selgel's Curative Syrup, and it wi'l nrtt'b" in vain Tours truly (Signed) Mathew L BroMrn, East Mapleton March 28th. 1895." Our friend labnur^d u-der a profound attack of indigestion or dvsp"psia. J The Bymptoins he described were dv» fo i « «9«ct upon,.. th« nervou-< system, and through that upon oWr organs. It fallows that the medicine to avai him must be one having power to expe' existing impnri'ies from the b'ood, rouse o »ct ; OB the stomach and liver, rend r nutrition possible by means of the restored digestion, md so gi?« new life to the whole bodT. This is what Mother Seipel's Syrup did for our correspondent, and does Jot all who appeal to it under like ciroumstance. It itlnda up the clock before the pendulum has'rented to swing. 'But k'eo an eys to that bodily clook of yours, and don't let it run b*) far down. In o her word's, the very hour you feel the first 6ign of illness take a dose of Mother, Seigcj's Syrup. .. • TO THE DEAF.— A rich lady, enred of her Bcfafwss and Noises in tb n Head by Dr Nicho'aon's Artificial Kar Drums, gave £5,000 to h s In^tiute, so thtit deaf peop'e unable to procure the <>ar Dhira« may have i them fry^.^ Address No. 699, D.
