Two Sorts of Fatigue.

« To be tired is nothing. The bodily powera are more or less exhausted for the time being. No harm is done. The sources of strength are not ire paired. Food and rest will set things to rights. We sha 1 sleep all the better for haying-come home under the soothing influnce ' of fatigue. It is nature's narcotic, leaving no headaches or bewildered brains behind it. It is the highest licence to knock off work ; it is an order for to-morrow's supply of vigour. The man who was never tired with honest labour has mis. Ed one of life's luxuries. But the thing this woman ta'ks of is very different. Rest does not relieve i ; the cheerfulness and refreshment of the , evening meal cannot be used as an , anidote to it; it is a sort of weakness which neith r welcomes the darkness nor has hope in the dawn. " Ever since I was a girl of twelve years of age." she says, " I have been weak and ai'ing. I had no strength or energy, and was always low and languid. I had .a poor appetite, and the little food I took gave me great pain at the ohest and through to my back. "My skin was yeMow, and I had a con- , Btant pa : n at my right fide. From time to time I was taken with Bpasma, and for < hours was racked with pain. I lost much sleep, and had often to sit up in bed. I had a gnawing pain and a sinking in the stomach wh'ch made me feel as if I had no strength left "In this low state I continued for years > being somesiuies better and again wors?, but never free from pain. I got so extremey weak that I often thought 1 should never live "In March, 1893, my mother-in-law told me about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and how it had done her good. I got a bottU from Mr P. Hudson, chemist, Ecolesball, and when I bad taken it a short time I found great benefit My food agreed with me and I feli stronger. I kept on taking it, and soon was better than I had been for yea<-s. " Since then I have kept the medicine in the house, and whenever I feel anything of my old complaint it never fails to ease me lam now in good heath, for which I thank M ther Seig l's Syrop. You can make what use you like of this statement. (Signed) Mrs Esther L. Palm, Co;es Heath Bank, Standon, near Crewe, Nov. lßt, 1895." Mr Frank T. Hudson, the chemist whom Mrs Palm names, informs us that be has known her for s^me years, and Toaches for the accuracy of her statement. In the absence of definite information we can do no more than sppcu ; ate as to the original cause of this 'ady having bocome, at so early an age, a victim of indigestion. The unhappy fact, however, is, that there are multitudes of children, uaua ly girlß, who suffer in the same way. They are anaemic, pale, weak, low-spirited, short of breath, and generally incapable. Every doctor conies across them in his practice, and pl< nty of trouble and worry he has in trying — c. mmonly with poor success — to cure ihcm. The fundamental defeot with these young people is a congenially bad digestion. The stomach i< dnli, weak, cold and torpid; hence food dons Dot nourish, and a 1 the symptoms and results of non-nutriiion to low, as described by Mrs Palm. The pitient may die-he'pltss to resist— of gome acute disease like pneumonia or quick consumption, or linger along for many years, as she did, bearing a load of illness and pain that is pitiable to .see. I these sad cases Mother Seigel's Si rup has made a record of cures, even in advanced life, whysh stamp as it a genuine remedy. It goes to the root of the trouble, the incompetent stomach and liver, stimulates them to normal action, and thus ensures a radical recovery. Despite their dismal past many a woman iiavJßg used the Syrup, says with Mrs Pa'w7" I am now in good health."
