HIS LEGACY.

(Statemunt of a Hitman Physician.) “ The only lliiin; I inherited from my parents,” said a young follow to me the other day', “ were poverty and a weak stomach,” > 1

The statement is suggestive. His poverty ca;nc with his bad digestion, andremained because of it, for Tie grew to be 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 prolessional career,” says one of (ho most successful physicians in England, “ I have boon telling my patients that, so far as physical weakness and disease is the cause of failures in life, I lie 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 Fillon’s health failed and she became alarmingly ill, her medical advisors (old her that she was suffering from general debility and indigestion.

The information was oonbtlcss correct ; but it would have been bettor if Mrs Eittou’s informal' • bod not put the cart bet'ire the horse, but said. “ indigestion and general debility”—for of course, the gcncro 1 debili.y was only a result of the indigestion.

“For eighteen months,” says Mrs Eitton, “ I was under medical treatment ; but I grew weaker all the.time, and was far worse at the end than at the beginning ofthai 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 triend's advice that I should try Mother Seigcl’s Syrup was not given a moment to soon. Af.er taking that remedy for five days, 1 was somewhat relieved. Tiie tightness at my chest wh'ch had been almost unbearable, eased somewhat, and there was no pain after eating. Each bottle of the Syrup mai ked a long step forward in my march toward complete recovery, for which ten bottles proved sufficient. That was in iß<jß, and I have since continued in the enjoyment of _ per'cet health, recommending Mother.Seigcl’s Svrup to every sufferer from Indigestion who comes in my way.”—(Signed) Lvov Eitton, 4, Ryder Street, Surray Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March loth, 1908. The lessonof Mrs Fitton’s experience is this : yoli must e; t to live —you cannot doubt (hat 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 be your health of Ijo:h mind and body. Never neglect the first signs of indigestion ; if you do. a cure will be more difficult. Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the famous herbal remedy for all stomach and liver disoulers, is composed ot roots, leaves, and barks, of great incdcinal value, and may be rt hed upon to cure indigestion, headache, wind, constipation, and loss of appetite.
