Quite Large Enough.
An undergraduate of Cambridge, England. being examined for bis degree, and failing in every subject upon which he was tried, complained that he had not been questioned upen the things which he knew. The examining master thereupon tore off about an inch of paper, and pushing it towards him, desired him to write Upon that all he knew. This incident is recalled to mind by knowledge of the fact that no greater space would be required whereon to record all the Wires effected by a number of so-called universal remedies. " The medicine prescribed for me by a doctor I could , not retain ; my stomach rejected it almost as soon as it was swallowed,” says Mr Maloney, of Cowpcr Street, Waverly, N.S.W. “ Then I thought j would do my own doctoring, and for a lotig time 1 physicked myself with all kinds of patent medicines. But 1 made no headway agninst my idnees, which took tho form of frequent severe attacks of indigestion and billiousness—in fact, I was a confirmed dyspeptic/ After a sleep'ess night 1 would rise in the morning feeling mere dead than alive, too sick even to look at my breakfast. I stuck to my work as well as I could, but I was often obliged to abandon it for a spell at home, where I spent my time lying helpless upon a couch. I had dull, heavy pains in my limbs, and if I rose up quickly would nearly fall through giddiness. But my most depres iog symptom was a terrible sense of oppression at the chest. At night this was so bad that I used to fear I should suffocate, and so I propped myself up in a sitting attitude with pillows. One day I asked a druggist's assistant, whom I was acquainted with, if he could teT me of any remedy likely to do me good. He said he had often heard customers in the shop where he was employed speak very highly of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup as a sure remedy for idigestion, and he advised me to try it. I obtained a bottle, and immediately experienced relief, so resolved to continue taking it for a time. I can conscientiously assert that, after a little per severance, Mother Seigel’s Syrup eliminat d every trace of disease, from my system, restoring me to sound and perfect health. I am so deeply thankful for this happy result, that I am always pleased to state wh t Mother Seigel’s Syrup accomplished in ray case ; for there must sti'i be many people now uunecessari y suffering misery such as I formerly endured.” Mr Maloney is right, and Mother Seigel’s Syrup is the most popular medicine in the wor d. It has endured the test of public opinion for thirty-five yj ars, and in the sixteen principal countries of the world is recognised as the standard remedy for indigestion and all bilious diseases. Compounded of fruits, roots, and herbs, and with no mineral admixture whatever, it is a powerful, and at the same time perfectly na ural, tonic. It assists food to nourish, and creates fresh, pure blood, as nothing else yet discovered will do. This is the experience of many thousands of people in every part of the world as proved by testimonials voluntari y sent to the proprietors of Mother Seigel’s Syrup by people who owe thi ir present good health to that medicine, whom gratitude alone induces to publicly acknowledge that fact 1 There are a great many people walking about who resi ruble that Cambridge undergraduate in respect all they know might be stated in very few words. Generally, they are happy in the opinion that they know rather more than other folks. It is well that they think so. It does nobody else any harm ; and if it has any mischievous result at all, it is upon themselves that it fal s.
