Agony After Eating.

HOW A SYDNEY MAN’S SUFFERINGS FROM INDIGESTION WERE CURED BY MOTHER SEIGEL’S SYRUP.

For many years it was thought that indigestion—most common of diseases and parent of scores of other ailments—was due to sedentery habits; in other words, that it was caused by want of exercise. It is now known that while close confinement is only one of many contributory causes, it plays an important part in setting up that almost universal complaint which only Mother Seigel’s Syrup can throw down. Belgian doctors have found cases of indigestion among the savage tribes of the Congo Free State, while it has been scientifically proved that horses, cattle and dogs are also subject to it; so we must not regard Mr J. Robins’ business alone as the cause of the complaint from which he suffered. Mr J. Robins is a tailor, and carries on his business in 105, Abercrombie Street, Blackfriars Estate, Sydney, N.S.W. On May Ist, 1905, Mr Robins sent a letter to the proprietors of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, relating some details of an illness from which that world-renowned medicine has rescued him. Mr Robins says: “ After the great good it has done me, I cannot speak too strongly in favour of Seigel’s Syrup. From 1889 to 1904 I suffered chronically from severe indigestion, which made life a burden to me. Often the agony'that I endured after eating was so acute that I looked forward to meal times with dread. I was. extremely caroiul in the matter of diet; but even so, the simplest and plainest articles of food would seldom agree with me, and upset my stomach completely. “ My whole constitution, periodically affected by the strain upon it, was weakened. I could not assimilate sufficient nourishment to maintain my normal strength, and so always felt ‘ out-of-sorts ’ and ‘ run down.’

“ But the sympton that alarmed me most was a severe pain which sometimes caught me in the region of the heart. I had no doubt but that organ was seriously affected, and feared death from heart failure. That dread caused me to lie awake many a night. “ At different periods of my illness I consulted no fewer than four doctors. They all failed not only to cure me but cvo’i to confer any temporary relief. 'Hie numerous med : cines recommended to me by friends were no more helpful, and I derived no benefit from anything until 1 made a trial of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. After I had taken the Syrup for a little while, my health gradually improved in every respect. Later, my appetite revived, and I could eat without pain or inconvenience of

any kind, coni' l sleep well, and felt Wonderfully strengthened generally. My cure was complete.”
