The War of Wars.

This twentieth century must grow somewhat tilde* before it is possible to appreciate in their true proportion the ewnts of the nineteenth century. Kevcrtlnle ;s, one fact at least is now ahundant'y c ear—that the Franco Prussiaci War of 1870 7J was by far the fflost terrific conflict ct that peiiod. It did not engage so many men as the American Civil War nor last so long as either that struggle or the recent Boer War (prolonged into the pre enfc century); but as an exhibition of fan'tless military geuius on the on hand, and reckless in Competence leading to national collapse on the OtheiS i's like is not to be found in the history of the world. The French, in every respect unready for war, attacked the Prussians, who were perfectly prepared for it. On being to d that the .french had dec'ared war, the Prussian, Field Marshal, v on Mplikei juaid lo his ftids-ite-varap i dec mil pigeon nole on the right, second tier ahd th re was found the elaborate plan of campaign which overthrew the French Empire; and won for the Prussians the provinces of and liofraihei dnd the greatest War indemnity ever paid. Mr Alphonse Burger, of 67, Riley street, Sydney, N.S.W., is a native of Strasburg, born there two years before it passed from French to Prussian control, fortunately Updble to recall the Uorfors of, that period. Mr Btirgeiii who has travelled much, has not entirely escaped misery—but it has been of the kind that Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup can dispel. " Three years ago," says Mr Burger, “ my health broke down. I had sharp stabbing pains in the lower portion of the back and around the shoulders. My tongue was thickly c ated, and after eating I felt a horrible sense of oppression across the chest and stomach. A.ihough I was often very drowsy all through the day, I could hot sleep well at night. My strength and energy declined, and I became discontented with myse f and my surroundings. A doctor .whom I consul,ed informed me that I was suffering from kidney complaint, a sluggish liver, and indigestion. He appeared to understand my case, but failed to Jo me any good. I was then employed at the "Victoria Coffee Palace, In Pht Street, and the chief cook of that establishment, Mr Simpson, advised me to try Mother Seigol’s Sirup. He said that he had used it for himself and his children in many complaints, and in no case without a satisfactory result. Relying upon this recommendation, 1 bought a bottle of the Syrup, and do not exaggerate when I assert that it benefited mo from the first dose. Though I took no more than six bottles of that remedy, that smojl quantity was sufficient to completely restore me to health; and I remain well and strong to this*day. Of course, I am deeply thankful for this resu't, and would like everybo y who is afflicted as I was to be acquainted with it.” Such is the testimony as to the efficacy of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup given by Mr Alphonse Burger on the 28th Jay, 1903, and his experience is but one of many thousands in the sixteen principal countries of the wor'd. Compounded of fruits, roots, and herbs, Seigel’s Syrup is quite unrivalled as a cure for indigestion, and the numerous other ailments which accompany or arise from that most prevalent and distressing of maladies. When attacked by illness—and move especially illness of the nature of indigestion, of which no one can forsee the consequences—it is well to have apian of campaign laid snugly aside in a second pigeonhole on the right, first tier,” in other words, a bottle of Seigel’s Syrup in the house. If it is wanted, ou will congratulate yourself. If it is not wanted, a'l the world may congratulate you.
