THE BREAD SCARE.

All fortunate Australians who eat home-made bread have reasons for pitying the town dwellers, who purchase and eat white bread! The latest scare that is going round the world is that white bread contains but little nutriment! Those who eat it, the scaremongers saj, are slowly losing their teeth, their stamina and their physique. Whether you agree with this doctrine, or laugh at it, at least you do agree that the first essential of food is that it should nourish you. Food, when it is well digested, makes us strong, vigorous, healthy; but no food, however nutritious, can save us from being weak and ailing if we do not digest it 1 In short, to be well we must have the power to digest food, and that power is just what Mother Seigel’s Syrup gives! The herbal extracts of which the Syrup' is made, tone up and strengthen the stomach and gently stimulate the action of the liver and bowels. That is all; but that is sufficient. Writing on July 25th, 1910, from 26, Quay Street, North Quay, Brisbane, Mrs Frederick said“ For a considerable period I was employed in a factory at the tailoring trade. The strenuous work, close confinement, and lack of fresh air gradually undermined my health, until, about seven years back, I became weak and delicate, always feeling out-of-sorts. I was troubled a lot with bad headaches, and constipation, but by far the worst of all was the indigestion, from which I suffered most severely. This complaint was, I think, brought on by a bad habit I •had contracted of bolting my meals *n a hurry, in order to get back to my work as quickly as possible. I was on piece-work, you see, and every moment counted. “ I had terrible pains K etween the shoulder-blades and in the back, and a dreadful sensation of weight and oppression about the chest, for hours after eating. My appetite deserted me, and 1 was losing weight, strength and energy all the time. At last I felt so ill and weak that I thought it advisable to take steps to remedy my ill state of health, and so I made enquiries for a suitable

medicine. I heard Mother Seigel’s | Syrup spoken of very highly, as a i cure for indigestion, so I determined to try that preparation to begin withit was a wise choice, and suited my case so well that I had no occasion to experiment with any other medicine. After using the Syrup for a short while, I was able to eat well and ] digest my meals without effort or inconvenience. Indeed, in the course of a few weeks I felt like a new woman, and could work twice as well as I did before using Mother Seigel’s Syrup, which entirely cured me.” Just as soon as your powers of digestion fail, you are pretty sure to be visited with the pains of indigestion ! Often the first sign is a furred tongue, a nasty taste in the mouth, or lost appetite! Perhaps you have pains in the chest, or wind and pain in the stomach. Then you may have headaches, bilious attacks, constipation, lack of vigour, sleeplessness, or “nerves.” Day after day you feel “ out- if-sorts,” unfit for your work, and, maybe, you are a “ wee bit ” irritable! All these troubles are sure signs of indigestion ! Your stomach and liver need the aid of Mother Seigel’s Syrup. A short course of this medicine will put your digestive organs in good working order. Then you will be able to digest and gain nourishment from your food; you will be free from the miseries of indigestion, and vou will feel fit and well! Try it.
