THE INCREASED COST OF LIVING.

Nearly all over the world people are grumbling about the increased cost of living. In and France, in Australia and South Africa, in the United States and many other places, the ordinary housewife says she is finding it harder and harder, week by week, to make both ends meet.

We fear, alas, that in all too many homes the problem of making ends meet is only answered by some people going without their proper share of food, and everyone knows how dangerous that is. Good food is essential to health and strength, and we can well pity those who have too little food to eat, but should we not also pity those who, having food, cannot eat and digest it ? In either case it means weakness and subsequent illhealth, but with those who cannot digest their food it means present suffering, for they already have that most common and most serious complaint —indigestion. You may have indigestion in different forms, but you cannot mistake the symptoms : a distaste for food, pains after eating, a furred tongue, headaches, bilious attacks, fits of neivous depression, constipation, dizziness, shortness of breath, palpitation, wind, and a “ fagged out ” feeling due to a debilitated system. The cause of these troubles is a disordered state of the stomach, liver and bowels, and the only cure is to restore these organs to healthful working order. This you can do surely and quickly by taking Mother Seigel’s Syrup daily, after meals. The curative herbal extracts of which Mother Seigel’s is made, tone up and strengthen the stomach as nothing else does, and they regulate the action of the liver and bowels gently yet thoroughly. Mrs M. A. Kirk, 139, Rosylyn Street, West Melbourne, writes “ It is eighteen years since I first had occasion to bless Mother Seigel’s Syrup for curing me of a most severe and long-continued attack of indigestion. At first. I had pains in the chest, back and under the shoulders, which gradually became well-nigh unbearable. I also had uncomfortable sensations after my meals. If I ate anything solid it would lie ‘ as heavy as lead ’ on my chest, and cause me intolerable pain and tightness for hours. Often I had to relieve myself by vomiting. The gas and wind from my stomach, too, frequently brought on heart trouble —burning pains, irregular action, palpitations, etc.—and I suffered very much from headaches. I felt tired without doing anything, lost considerably in weight, and became really down-right ill. “ I tried different mixtures, medicines and pills, but the money I spent on them was wasted, as they afforded me absolutely no relief. After some months of suffering, a friend brought a bottle of Mother Seigel’s Syrup for me to try. In a fortnight I was quite free from pain and was feeling like another woman, and by the time I had taken about half a dozen bottles of Mother Seigel’s Syrup my health was completely restored. There has never been any return of my old complaint. Mother Seigel’s Syrup is a real boon in the home,—’’May 3rd, 1910. If you have indigestion or any kindred trouble, Mother Seigel’s Syrup will cure you quickly and permanently, as it cured Mrs Kirk. Put it to the proof—to-day!
