YOU AND YOURSELF.

When you are 111, do you know what makes you 111 ?

"Know thyself,” is a useful proverb. But how many, people do kuow themselves ? Do you ?

When you are ill, do you know what is making you ill P Could you give a reason ? Could you guess the cause ? If you have an abscess, there is no doubt about your cond tion. There is the sore place to be 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 lives. They may be constantly ill, in vague, uneasy ways. Beyond realising one o two vague causes of distress, apparently of little moment, they seem well and feel they ought to be well. - Only—they never are well. One gets up in the morning tired. Another feels dull and heavy. Another flushes in the face and has palpitation on mounting the sta'rs. Still another feels depressed at the end of the day and cannot sleep at night, though tired out.

Or, the tongue is coaled. Food does 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 used, most delicate, most important organ of the body. It is worked harder than any other. It literally keeps the body alive in the same way ihat the fire makes steam for the engine. Put it ever so slightly out of order and there is trouble. A distressing symptom is set up. Discomfort follows. A feeling of actual illness sets in. Next time you feel that way don’t worry and suffer. Do to your Chemist. Ask for a medicine he knows—a medicine millions know—Mother Scigcl’s Syrup. Take a dose as directed, day by day, faithfully. You will find the system toned up. The little disquieting worries disappear one by one. Again, why p Mother Seigel’s Syrup deals with the stomach and makes it do its ow n work in the proper w r ay. Indigestion, the root cause of ninetenths of human suffering, once corrected, you get well. Your other troubles arising from indigestion disappear—they cannot exist with a digestioiv set right by Mother Seigel’s Syrup. Mrs M. Majoram, 51, Barwon Park Hoad, St. Peter’s, N.S.W., writing on June 23rd, 1908, says : “I used to suffer terribly from indigestion, and existence w r as a burden to me. Various 'medicines which I tried afforded only temporary relief, and 1 despaired of finding a cure, when a lady friend urged me to try Mother Seigel’s Syrup After using two bottles of the Syrup, the worst symptoms of my complaint w ere much reduced, and by the time I had taken nine bottles my recovery was complete.”
