HIS LEGACY.

(Statement or a Bkitisu Physician.V The only thing 1 inheri'cd from my parents," said a young fe’low to me the other day, “ were poverty and a weak stomach.”

The statement is sugg. stive. His poverty came with his bad digedion, and remained because of it, f r he grew to be a chronic dyspeptic, lackinglhe 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 ;hr , so far as physical weakness and disease is the cause of failures in life, iiic responsible ailment in nine cases out of ten is digestive weakness.’’

The doctor is right; and fori unately some good work is go! ig on in that direction, as the following case well proves.

When Mrs Tilton’s health failed and she became alarmingly ill, her medical advisers told her that she was snll'ering from general ddbility and indigestion. The information was doubtless correct i but it would have been better if MrsFitton’s informants had not put the cart before the horse, but said, “ indigestion and general debility ” —for of course, the genera) debility was only a result of the indigestion. “For eighteen months,” says Mis Fitton, “ I was under medical treatment ; but I grew weaker all the time, and was far worse 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 too hard for me to bear. Headaches, too, and pains in various parts of my body, troubled me greatly, so that my condition was pitiable. “ A friend’s advice that I should try Mother Seigel’s Syrup was not given a moment to soon. Afier taking that remedy for five days, I was somewhat relieved. The tightness at my chest which had been almost unbearable, eased somewhat, and there was no pain after eating. Each bottle of the Syrup marked a long step forward in my march toward complete recovery, for which ten bottles proved sufficient. That was in 1898, and I have since continued in the enjoyment of perlecl health, recommending Mother Seigel’s Si nip to every sufferer from Indigestion who comes in my way.’’—(Signed) Lucy -Fitton, 4, Ryder Street, Surray Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March xotfi, 1908.

The lesson of Mrs Fitton’s experience is this: you must eat to live—you cannot doubt that and your strength and energy depend upon the way in which your stomach deals with the food you eat. It must be properly digested, so as to give yon the nourishment it contains. The more thoroughly this is done, the belter will be your health of both mind and body. Never neglect the first signs of indigestion ; if you do. a cure will be more difficuL. Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the famous herbal remedy for all stomach and liver disorders, is composed oi 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.
