YOU AND YOURSELF.
When you are 111, da you know what makes you ill ? < , "Enow thyself,” is a useful proverb. But how many people do know themselves ? Do you ? When you are ill,'do you know what is making you ill P Could .you givenreason ? Could you guess the cair-e ? If you have an abscess, there is no doubt about your cond tion. There is 1 the sore place to ho seen. Similarly, men or women with a cold . on the chest and a severe cough, have , definite symptoms and can describe precisely what is wrong with them, when the doctor calls. But most people are not ill in these plain, obvious, matter-of-fact ways — * many times in their Jives. They may be constantly ill, in vague, uneasy ways. Beyond realising one or two vague causes of distress, appar, nt ly of little moment, they seem well and f. * they ought lobe well. Ouly--they never are well. One gets up in the morning tired. Another feels dull and heavy. Another Hushes in the face and has palpitation on mounting the slars. Still another feels depressed at the end of t lie day and cannot sleep at night, though tired out. ; Or, the tongue is coated. Food docs not tempt and gives no pleasure. Eating is an ordeal and pain follows it — sometimes sickness. Dizziness occurs. Flatulence is common. The system becomes irregular. But they go on suffering. Why ? The stomach is the cause. The stomach is the most use 1. most delicate, most important organ of tbe body. It is worked harder than any other. It literally keeps the body alive in the same way that the lire makes steam "for the engine. Put it ever so slightly out of order and there is trouble. A distressing symptom is set up. Disc mi fort follows. A feeling of actual illness sets in. I Next lime you feel Unit way cion t worry and suiter. Go to your Chemist. Ask for a medicine lie knows — a medicine millions know—Mother Seigel’s (Syrup 'lake a dose as directed, day by day, £*;tblully. Vou -.rill llnd U>e system toned up. The little disquieting worries disappear one by one. Again, why ‘f Mother Seigei’s Syrup deals with the stomach and makes it do its own work in the proper way. Indigestion, the root cause of uinctentlis of human suffering, once corrected, you get well. Four other troubles arising from indigestion disappear—they cannot exist with a digestion set right, by Mother SeigcTs Syrup. Mrs M. Mu joram, 51. Banvon Park iioad, St. Peter’s, JN.S. W., writing on June 23rd, 1!)0S, says .- "1 used to suffer terribly from indigestion, and existence was a burden to me. Various medicines which I tried afforded only temporary relief, and I despaired of finding a cure, when a huly friend urged me to try Mother Seigcl’s Syrup After using two bottles of the Syrup, the worst symptoms of my complaint were much reduced, and by the time I had taken nine bottles my recovery was complete.”
