LIVERISHNESS.

THE JOY-KILLER

Did you ever know a cheerful, happy-go-lucky chap, one of the buoyant, successful sort, who was liverish? Just think it over! The man who is periodically troubled with his liver simply can’t be cheerful or happy. He feels too miserable, and often too irritable and out-of-sorts to raise a smile. He does not meet you in a morning with the glad light of welcome in the eye, and the hearty handshake. And why not ? Why, because liverishness is a joy-killer a smile banisher. When a man has a “liver," he feels more like hitting the other fellow in the eye, rather than slapping him on the back and shouting, “How are you, old boy ?” He wants to crouch in a chair, hug his misery, and brood over his present difficulties, and the possible misfortunes looming in the near future. As has been well said, liverishness distils bad temper as surely as the sun dispels the morning mist. It is so! The great men of the world, the great thinkers, the men who have done things, who are lifting Australasia into the front rank of the nations, are not liverish. And if you want to be like them, and to do things, you must get the liver into a sound and healthily active condition, for liverishness is the enemy of achievement.

A few doses of time-proved stomach’ and liver corrective and tonic such as Mother Seigel’s Syrup is generally all that is needed to ensure the regular and even flow of bile so necessary to the perfect digestion of food and the regular daily action of the bowels. It is a simple matter to take thirty drops of Mother Seigel’s Syrup in a little water whenever you feel the tendency to liverishness or have partaken heartily of food that is liable to disagree with you ; yet thousands of people avoid the consequences of biliousness and indigestion in just this simple way. Mr M. Dee, of Makerston Street, Brisbane. Queensland, writing on April sth, 1913, says; “Eight years back I was a victim of chronic biliousness in, I think, its most acute and distressing form. For eight months my sufferings were simply terrible. I could not eat, and indeed loathed the very sight of food, the smell of which made me feel sick and inclined to vomit. Black spots and flashes of light danced before my eyes.

“On the advice of a friend, I commenced to use Mother Seigel’s Syrup. Less than a dozen doses brought me relief, and three bottles of the remedy effected a complete cure, and made me feel a new man. It seemed little short of a miracle to me that such a long-standing illness should be so quickly and effectually cured, but it was a fact.” There is nothing mysterious about the action of Mother Seigel’s Syrup. It is composed of more than ten different extracts of roots, barks and leaves, which in combination have a most beneficial effect on the stomach, liver, and bowels. Thus Mother Seigel’s Syrup restores these organs to working order, clears out of the system the poisonous products of indigestion, and enables you to gain nourishment from food, the only real way in which it can be obtained for the maintenance of health and strength.— A dvt.
