HIS LEGACY.

(Statkmhnt of a Bun ism Pm vs cian.) “ The only lliiug 1 iiiluui cil from n.y paronts,” said a young fellow to me tile oilier day, “ were j overly and a weak stmuach.” The.statement is s. ggi stive. His poverty came with his had digestion, and remained because of it, f r he grew to he a chronic dyspeptic, lacking the ambition so necessary to win a living against the competition of the healthy and strong.” “ During the whole of my professional career,” says one of the most successful physicians in England, “ I have been telling my patients that, so far as physical weakness and disease is the cause of failures in life, the responsible ailment; in nine cases out of ten is digestive weakness.” The doctor is right; and fortunately some good work is going on in that direction, as the following case well proves. When Mrs Fitton's health failed and she b°came alarmingly ill, her medical adviscis told her that she was suffering from-general debility and indigestion.

The information was doubtless correct , but it would have been better if Mrs Fitton’s informants had net put (he cart bclore the horse, hut said, “ indigestion and general debilily’’—for of course, the general debility was only a result of the indigestion. “For eighteen months,” says Mis Filton, “ I was under medical treatment ; but 1 grew weaker all the time, and was .far wor.-c at the end than at the beginning of that period. I could not digest, and was so weak from want of nourishment and sleep that my housework became a burden 100 hard for me to hear. Headaches, too, and pains in various parts of my body, troubled mo greatly, so that my condition was pitiable. “ A tnend’s advice that I should try Mother Sc gel’s Syrup was not given a moment to soon. After taking that remedy for five days, I was somewhat relieved. The tightness at my chi st which had been almost unbearable, eased somewhat, and there was no pain after eating. Each 1 ottlo of the Syrup maikcd a long step forward in my inarch toward complete recovery, for which fen bottles proved sufficient. That was in .iByB, and I have since contained in flic enjoyment of period health, recommending Mother Seigcl’s Simp to every sufferer from Indigestion who conics in my way.’’—(Signed) Lucy Fitton, 4, Ryder Sin et, Surray Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March 10th, njoS. The lesson of Mrs Fitton’s experience is this; you most eat to live —you cannot doubt that and your strength and energy depend upon the w.iy in which your .stomach deals with the food you cat. It must he properly digested, so as to give you the nourishment it contains. The more thoroughly this is done, the belter will ho your health ot both mind and body. Never neglect the first signs of indigestion ; it you do. a cure will lie more difficult. Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the famous herbal remedy for all stomach and liver disorders, is composed ot roots, leaves, and barks, of great medcinal value, and may be relied upon to cure indigestion, headache, wind, constipation, and loss of appetite. Try it.
