A CURIOUS THEORY About EARTHQUAKES.

“ The cause of earthquakes, is sin ”! This is the way, the great preacher explained these terrifying convulsions of the earth. Just fancy the destruction of Messina and Eeggio as resulting from violation of moral law. Tt is more likely that a good deal of sin results from earthquakes. But Hannah More, the great authoress, came pretty close to the truth when she said “ The cause of a deal of sin, is bile*’! That bit of wisdom and opinion we can understand .easily. Bile poisons the blood—and poisoned, impure blood poisons the brain. The brain is the organ of the mind and senses. - .

All the earthquakes that ever shook this wicked world have not done as much harm to human beings as is done every year by sleepy stomachs and lazy livers. Generals have lost battles, workmen have lost good jobs, husbands and wives have, quarrelled, because of “a touch of liver complaint.” That ugly force called biliousness could “ break up a majority in the House of Commons.”

“From my youth 1 was afflicted with poor health and suffered much from Indigestion, and Asthma. The asthma was particularly bad, in the hot steamy weather that prevails Queensland in the summer rainy season. My breathing was so difficult that I fell like suffocation. I feared going to bed at night and had to sleep propped up by pillows. The Indigestion also caused me a lot of suffering: The little - food. I: was ab le to eat • caused me much pain and . distress. The illness gradually increased on me, I became very weak and emaciated and I was subject to fils of depression and nervousness “I tried a lot of different medicines apd treatments; but 'nothing gave me any real relief until, about two years back; I took “Mother Seigel’s Syrup. I was in a very bad way indeed, at the time, but a few doses eased my chest, and in a few days I began, to breathe freely, and. to. sleep without the usual cho.king sensations, My appetite improved-, all the distress-, ing symptoms of IndigcVthljEtdecreased hud I felt stronger and .bitter In quite a short time I was quite. freed' from my old ailments. I shall always upe ’ Mother Seigel’s Syrup when ! need medicine.” -Extract from letter Of Mr William Law, 408, Ann Street, Brisbane, Q, ' Whatever may be. the natural cause of earthquakes there, .eau be no doubt about the upheaval that Billiousness and Indigestion cftiise m the human system. Nor is there, any “doubt that Mother Seigel's -Syrup’will Cure these disorders and at the. same time rid tho ; sufferer of. constipation, flatulence, dizziness and,,all the,* attendant, miseries, ’ It ’is. a . purely . hethal 1 medicine and toriep up and strengthens all the organs of digestion.- ■■ -
