Two Sorts of Fatigue.

* ■ To be tired is nothing. The bodily powers are more or less exhausted for the time being. No harm is done. The sources of strength are not impaired. Food and rest will set tl.inga to rights. We sha 1 sleep all the bitter for having come home under the soothing mflunce of fatigue. It is nature's narcotic, leaving no headaches or bewildered brains b2liind 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 misled one of :ife'B luxuries. But the thing this woman ta ks of is very different. Rest does not relieve i ; the cheerfullnesa and refreshment of the evening meal cannot be used as an on idote to it; it is a eoit of weakness which neith r welcomes the darkness nor has bopa 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 appeiile, at; d the litth food I took gave me great pain at the chest and through to my back. " My skin was ye 1 low, and I had a constant pan at my right fide. From time to time I was taken with spasms, and for I ours was racked with pain. I lost much sleep, and had often to sit up in b?d. I had a gnawing pain and a sinkiug in the s.oir.ach wh eh made me feel as if I had no strength left "In this low state I continued for years being sometimes better and again worse, but never free from pain. I got so extreme y weak that 1 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 bottle from Mr F. Hudson, chemist, Eccleshal', and when I had taken it a short time I found great benefit My food agreed with me and I felt stronger. I kept on taking it, and soon was better ihan I had been for yeas. "Since ll'cn Iha?ekept the medicine in the house, and whenevfr I feel anything ot my old complaint it never fails to ease.

Ist, 1895." , Mr Frank T. Hudson, the chemist whom Mrs Palm nomes, informs us that lie has known her for some years, and vouches for the accuracy of hr statement. In the absence of definite information w-fl can do no more than eppcu'ato as to the original causa of this lady having beome, at so early an age, a victim of indigestion. The unhappy fact ., however, is, that there are mulsitud s of children, usua ly girls, who sufii-r in the same way. They are anaemic, pa'e, weak, low-spirited, short of breath, and generally incapable. I very doctor comes across them in his practice, and plntyof troub'e and worry he has in trying— c mmon'y with poor success — to cure iheni. The fundamental de r ect with these yon.ng people is a conp^ "My bad digestion. The s'.omacii i k, ":ld and torpid; henc ... • „ i,o nourl-h. and al tinsymptoms and lvsu'.ts of non-nutrition i fo low, as described by Mrs Palm. The pitient may die-he'pliss to re3ist— o. some acute disease like pneumonia or quick consumption, or linger a'ong 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 S^rup has made a rfcord of cures, even in atlvnnced life, which stamp as it a genuine remedy. It goes to the root of thrtroub'e, the incompetent stomach and liv r, stimulates them to norma! action, acd thus ensures a radical recovery. Despite their dismal past many a woman j having u*ed .he Syrup, says with Mrs. Pa in, " I am now in good lr al:h." hi ■ — — i— ■— *^^; j
