A CURIOUS THEORY About EARTHQUAKES.

“The cause of e arthquakes, is sin This is the way the great preach® explained these terrifying convulsion of the earth. Just fancy the destrue tion of Messina and Keggio as resulting from violation of moral law. It is more likely that a good deal of sin results from earthquakes. But Hannah More, tire 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 ie pone 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 I 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 felt like suffocation. I feared going to bed at night and had to sleep propped up by pillows. The Indigestiou also caused me a Jot of suffering. The little food I was able to eat caused mo 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 un£il, about two years back, I took Mother SeigeTs 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 bettor In quite a short time I .was quite freed from my old ailments, I shall always use Mother Weigel’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 be no doubt about the upheaval that Billipusness and Indigestion cause in the human system. Nor is there any doubt that Mother Seigel’s Syrup will cure these disorders and at the 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.
