HOW MUCH DO YOU LIVE?
Bobbie Smith is noted for his funny sayings. When he meets his pal Barker in a morning on his way to business, Bobbie has a smiling way of asking, “Well, Jimmy, how much do you live ?” It is not, "Are you well ?” “Areyou in good form?” or “Feeling fit, old boy?” but just, “How much do you live ?” Jimmy Barker and the other friends of Bobbie, usually laugh about Bobbie’s quaint way of enquiring after their health. It seems to cheer them up. They feel that Bobbie, with his mirthful eyes, and healthy rubicund countenance, radiates health. But that isn’t the real explanation. Bobbie is a healthy, vigorous man, alert and clear-headed, a happy fellow who wants everybody to feel as lit and well as himself.
“Look at me. Barker,” he said one sunny morning. • “Can’t you see that if you are really well, you are sure to be cheerful and happy?” Barker agreed, whereupon Bobbie promptly proved to Barker that any man or woman whose stomach became disordered is made despondent and miserable, almost every day, by such distressing symptoms as pains after eating, headaches, biliousness, sleeplessness, nervousness, anaemia, constipation, furred tongue, loss of appetite or languor. Bobbie, of course, did not forget to tell Barker that very lew victims of indigestion would have all these symptoms at the same time. “Anyhow, Barker,” Bobbie went on, “any one of these symptoms is bad enough, and tends to destroy the feeling of fitness that eveiy healthy man or woman enjoys. ‘ 1 ake a tip from me, old boy. If you want to be well and cheerful you 11 , av °id indigestion by taking Mother Seigel’s Syrup. I’ve proved its worth in my own case, and I know that tor over forty years Mother Seigel’s Syrup has been removing and preventing stomach and liver troubles in all parts ot the world.” Bobbie Smith was right. Tens of thousands of people know
that Mother Seigel’s Syrup gives a sustaining sense of comfort to the whole system, by toning up and strengthening the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels.
Here is a case in which Mother Seigel’s Syrup proved itself to be a sound, reliable remedy Mr E. A. Turnley, writing from Queen’s Hill Store. Sydney Road, Coburg, Victoria, on November sth, 1912, says : “Some time ago I had a bad attack of indigestion. I had sick headaches, nausea, sickness after meals, and frequent attacks of biliousness. I had no desire to eat, felt dizzy, bilious and unable to eat, and racked with pain. I became too weak for work.
“I was nervous, debilitated, and lacking in energy and animation. When on the verge of a complete collapse, my wife’s sister suggested a trial of Mother Seigel's Syrup. I adopted her advice, and after taking a bottle of the Syrup felt strengthened and relieved. Three bottles of Mother Seigel’s Syrup made me feel as well as I had ever done in my life. In my opinion Mother Seigel’s Syrup brought about a wonderful cure in my case.” By restoring you to good health, by removing and preventing the return of stomach and liver troubles, Mother Seigel’s Syrup will make you feel as well and hearty as Bobbie Smith. Then, though you need not ask, “How much do you live ?” you’ll feel like doing it. Try Mother Seigel’s Syrup to-day.—Advl.
