Three Phases of Life.

At birth we r spire, at twenty five aspire, at eighty expire. This is the begin ing, the sum, and the end of us, according to the philosophic mind of Hugo. He states ' the phenomena of life tersely, and with the touch and meaning of a master. That is ad right for those who are in a frame of mind to philosophise. The panorama of life is one thing; its detail and analys a quite another. The greater question is: How are you living 1 How am I txisting 7 That concerns us more. . There Is a vast difference between living and existing. It is ihe difference between health, strength, happiness, aspiration and power in whatever humble sphere we work, and the endurance, the anguish, the pain and misery of bodily afflio; ion. Nature fashioned u< all to bo healthy. She did more ; she secreted roots and herbs in her Balds and forests to assist some of us to maintain this health, or regain it when lost. ‘ ... There is a gentleman living at 37d, Boorka Street, Sydney, whoso interesting itory illustrates this in a practical, common anise way. "Six years ago,” he writes, “my health brok- down badly. My appetite got to be fickle uncertain ; then ffti'ed entirely. What I forced myself to swallow did me but small good. In fact it often gave me such discomfort and distress that I actually dreaded to sit down "After a while my stomach and other diges'ive organs became so upset and disordered that I was practically forced to live—or raiicr (xi*t—oa a diet of slops, gruel, weak broths, &0., and even ti.ese things occasioned me considerable pain and inconvenience. Medical treatment did me no good whatever. , „ -From time to time I tried all sorts of medicines that were recommended to me. or that I pavr advertised, but with do better \ refute- I became s® debilitated that my relatives thought I was going into a de i dine In truth I was fearfully thin and ► wasted. At this stage of my trouble a friend said Long .t to try Seigel’a Syrup. He made the strongest kind ot a point of it. and pressed the id. a upon me. 1 yeld- d, and it was the best inves ment I ever made. ••I be,an taking the medicine without faith, as I was scapt cal as to the virtues of drugs and physics in general, bat before I bad taken ba f a dozen dosea I found I was on ihe right track at last. _ •*la short, with the Sy up,

taking it strictly according to Hie direction)!, and it speedily allt viaied and al imately cured my com plain t. I used in [all four bottles, and while sli.l on the- fourth I felt myself a new man. I could eat well, sleep well, and work wed ; and once more laugh and enjoy nme’f to tho full. Moi> than this what does any man want ?—what more can the word give him ?

As to thoroughness and j erm ukiicc- of the cure there can bo no doubt, as what 1 have related took place over fi-e y'ars ag n and since then I have remained in good health with the exception of trifling r.i ■ menls unworthy of mrnfon. " Other members ot our Hamby -no!a d > my sister Emma Lillian, who has sent you her own account of h r case—have d rived signal benefit from the use ot tho Syrup, and can tell their stoiica for themselves. We a ways keep a bout’ in the house, and whenever any of us feel ait ot sent-, kipped, or seedy, we Jake a dose or two and it never fails to give the needed relief. “ In conclusion, I cun 1 onestly and conscientiously recommend S-'icH's Syrup to any persons whs may be sulLring t.oma, weak stomach, impaired digestion, chrome dyspepsia or kindred complaints as a remedy that will really accomp isi) ait tiiat is claimed for it.”—(Signed) William James Edward Fisher, 373, Bourke Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney, June 2Gth,-130J. Seigel’s Syrup is made of eicbtem natural ingredients, each of which is a product of the soil. Its curative proponies are derived from roots and herbs in scientific combination, and hs hea ing action has been acknowledged in all civilised parts of the world during the past thirty-three years. Kept handy for occasional use, it keeps the body strong and the functions active. This is the way to resist diseases, to avoid the daily miseries which take ihe snap and go out of life. There is a difference between living and txisting—as Mr Fisher ro ates.
