Just fancy the destruction of Messina and Reggio as resulting from violation of moral law. It is more likely that a good deal of sin results from earthquakes.

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 felt 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 able to eat caused me much pain and distress. The illness gradually increased on me, I became very weak and maciated and I was subject to fits of depression and nervousness. “ I tried a lot of different medicines and 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 choking sensations, My appetite improved, all the distressing symptoms of Indigestion decreased and I felt stronger and better In quite a short time I was quite freed from my old ailments. I shall always use Mother Seigel’s Syrup when I need medicine.” Extract from letter of Mr William Law, 408, Ann Street, Brisbane, Q. Whatever may be the natural cause of earthquakes there cau he no doubt about the upheaval that Billiousness and Indigestion cause in the human system. Hof is there any doubt that Mother Beigel’s Syrup will cure these disorders and at ike same time rid the sufferer of • constipation, flatulence, dizziness and all the attendant miseries. It is a purely herbal medicine and tones up and strengthens, all the organs of digestion.
