Don't let the Clock run Down.

"The hu-nan body," says a gre\t physician, " is a seventy-year c'ock''^ Yes, and like all other clocks the time it •will run depends larg^y on^ how it is treat pd. Tak a the pendulum weight off the end of the wire and your clock wil' ratt'e away at the rate of ha*f a doz«n hours in onp. Npglecfc it and it will run irregularly ; now fasti now a'ow. Break the mainspring, or a wheel, and it stops Instantly. Take intelligent care of it and a g od clock will serve your grandchildren M faithfully as it now serves yon. There is an important difference, however, between your clock and your body Even after your c^ook is completely rn 1 down, and at a standstill, you can wind it np and set it going again. Not so with the body. Once etopp dit goes no more. We know the limits of his moaning perfectly well, yet. speaking 'nerally, Mr Matthew L. Brown was not " completely »ua down" at the time he refers to. Thankful we are, and more thankful sti'l ► he is. for that. Bat he was frightfully fiear it. The pendulum boa* very slowly and weakly, and the hands cou'd scarcely be, irna'ed to tell the trne time. ••About five yeara ago," writes Mr Brown, "I was complete 1 y ran down. I lott my appetite. I could get nothing to II ou my stomach Sometimes I would tfcke dizzy spell b and nearly fall down, and _%p«IA see Mack dots before my eyes. I kept getting worse all the time. hi trifd different patent medicines: tb#j gave me no relie'. I kept getting worse. I tried two of the beet doctor; in the p'aee ; they did me no good. I was pbl'gftd to take to my bed. f ( I woald take faint spells and my heart w.C)nM heat and flutter, and I would nearly for breath. I felt more like dying ■^SbftQ living." : [Thepe fainting or sinking spells of which Mr Brown speaks are a peculiar feature of the disease he was suffering from. Only modern physicians, and not all of them, understand their gravity or have given them the study they c ill for. No gennation is more alaming, none more iemora'ising to the patient. While they last the angle of death seems to have folded his wings over the Fuffercr's pa'e fend anxious face. The came is a poison ta^jn the blood arising from continued fermentation of food in the stomach. It pets upon, the nerves of the brain, lungs, and heart as a hand might impede the pendulum 6) a great clock.] • ''I began' to think," adds our corres- j poncUnt, ** that I never should get ! Around again. My wife wanted me to iry Mother Seigel's Syrup. I said I didn't Ihink it was any use. She went and r -t a bottln of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and before. I I had taken it all I was abe to go to my Krork. • •• 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) llathew L Brown, Bast Ifapleton March 28th, 1895." Our friend laboured under a profound attack of indigestion or dyspepsia. The lycaptoras he described were due to i s effect upon the nervoU3 system, and through that, upon other organs. It follows that the medicine to avail him matt be «ne having power to expel existing iapturiUei from th* blood, route <o

action the stomach and liver, render nutrition pos ib'c by means of the restored digestion, and so give new life to the whole body. This is what Mother Seigel's Syrup did . for cur correspondent, and does for all who .ippcil to it under like circumstance. It vAiuiz up the clock he/ore the pendulum has ceased to swing. But k:ep an eye to that bodi'y clock of yoars, and don't let it ruo s>far down. In other words.Mhe very hour you feel the first sign of i !ne?s take •i do^o of % Moih<-r Seig-l's Syrup.
