HIS LEGACY.

(Statement or a British Physician.) “ The only tiling I inherited from my parents,” said a, young fellow to me the other day, “ were poverty and a weak stomach.” The statement is suggestive. His poverty came with his had digestion, and remained because of it, for ho grew to he a chronic dyspeptic, lacking the ambition so necessary to win a living against the competition of the healthy and strong.” “ During tho 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 became alarmingly ill, her medical adviacis 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 not put the cart before the horse, but said, “indigestion and general debility ” —for of course, the general debility was only a result of the indigestion. “ For eighteen months,” says Mrs Fitton, “ I was under medical treat- ‘ ment ; 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 hotly, 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 toon. APer 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 pam after eating. Each bottle of the Syrup marked a long step foiwaid in my march toward complete recovery, for which ten bottles proved sufficient. 1 hat was in 1898, and I have since continued in the enjoyment of perlecl health, recommending Mother Scigcl’s S\ nip to every sufferer from Indigestion who conics in my way.”—(Signed) Lucy Fitton, 4, Ryder Street, Snrray Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March 10111, 1908. The lesion of Mrs FiLon’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 you the nourishment it contains, The more thoroughly this is done, the better will he your health ot both mind and body. Never neglect the first signs of indigestion ; if yon do. a cure will be 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, coiu-tipation, and loss of appetite. Try it.
