The Wolf and the Balloon.

. — .* ■ "The Bleep of tbe labouring man is Bweet, whether he eat little or much," says . the proverb. It depends upon the condition of his digestion, and the character of hia last meal for the day. Observation phows that certain forms of dyspepiia are even more common among labouring men, meaning those whose work U chiefly of the hanfla and large'y out of doorg, than among the olafißeß who take life more easily. " Whether I ate little or much I folt blown ont iko a baloon, and exoeeding'y uncomfor'able." Bays Mr W. H. Johnson This gentleman ia a stationer, doing businpss at 2525, Aberoombie Street, Bedfern, Sydney. N.B.W. . His ailment was jnat what he callfl it in his statement of Novembej 10th, 1899 — incipient indigestion. And, too. the fad ft worth nothing that he was blown oat with the same sub=tance which swe 1b a balloon— gas ; manufactured by a slightly different process. Taken into the stomach, food must either digest and pass on its way, or ferment, and create gas and other products of decomposition. In the latter c ise whave the condition (often complicated) known as indigestion or dyspepsia. Most our complaints arise from it, or are aggravated by it. It is a Bubtle as a ere- ping «erpent, and pitiless as a hungry wolf. , „ ... In Mr Johnson's caiie, had he not had a business of hi* own, and been, therefore, his own master, he would have been compellf 4 to lie op, and abandon his work. As matter* were, he humoured hirasaif, Jtad lost nothing except hii enjoyment of good health ; which, he admits, was an item to make account of. ■• After enduring this most disagreeable affection for a time," says Mr Johnson, ••a confectioner of Annandale, Mr Cowling recommended Mother Syrup, which relieved me immtd at eiy. I thoroaßhly believe it cored me, and I comWen* it to everyone I know. * I have the least wispjcion that I am threatened with an attack of indigestion. I take a dose, and it never ■ f*i'«to ward it off. I am persuad d that if I had oot used Mother SeigeT* Byrup in the beginning I should by this time have been iufferfcg severely from this preva'ent malady. I trust that the public ;tioa of my experienoe may Itad others afflwted with digestive troubles to use the medicine to which I am indebted for my own speedy -S M Mt'johnson puts the point cU arly and •trongly -—Stop the disease at the very outset ; don't let is assume the chronic from which, involving mor- or lew al the orgaw and funotions of the body, » so hard lo cure. Remember the adage about the ounce of prevention.
