PEOPLE BOUND TO THE STAKE.
The great majority ;of people have to work for a Jiving with hands or head, or. both, Very well. To make oar living .we muet be able to labour so many hoar a day, days in a week, weeks in a year. Tery good again. Bat suppose we each bad an enemy who possessed the power to tie us a rope when he pleased. To-day ho ties only the left arm, and to morrow the right, the next day-a leg, and'so on. Once in a While he ties us to our beds and keeps as there a weak. How muoh would hi cost us in bard
oath in a year f and,bow much would it be
worth to ua if we could chain him to a rock or with his own rope P Let at h’ave a rough illnitralion or two. f ;
A man wat working on the Midland Railway at a aignnlman. : We all know what the position is, and have tome idea of the labour and;responsibility. ' Well, h 6; 'k'dpti'at' it foi several years, never mitsing a day. He knew hit business, nobody better, and nothing wAt wrong oh hit [ section of the line;’but by-and-by hit enemy began to tio him up. Somehow he couldn't eat with a relith any more ; wßsfe he tried he was taken with tucF a'diitresiA’tf' t66k ; 'all * 'thi f life ’ oiit of him. Then ho would* hßvß' times when he wat so giddy that everything went round and round like a whirgigig. If tbit* had happened when' ha had' 6 signal “to set, a collision might-have come of it ( happily it did not. Other ropet were tied round him, > he had pains in hit chest and aide*, hit bowels became costive, tongue ’ coated, bad taste in the mouth, heartburn, weakness, Ac. The dootots said he would - have *to give up his situation but he couldn’t. There were ’"the wife and' children, to look ’ out for and only bit earnings td do it with. But finally he broke down altogether,' and' wat laid up fort (feels, unconscious part of the time.,. Then, we may i say, ho, was, tied hand and foot. His enemy had him fast, and he came nigh killing him. ’ One day, after the doctors had given him up, hitinind was clear, and he remembered a medicine—half the bottle full—be bad hidden away in a looker in a signal box and forgotten all about it. ,'He tentTfor it and took a dose. Inlets thah a month he was a well man ; the ropes were all out aw«y, If you-writd r: to : him (Andrew Agge, Oulgaith.Oamberland) he will tell you tbis medicine was Mother Seigel’s Curative , Syrup, and bit ailment was in* digestion and dyspepsia, But whilst he' was ill with it, he might as well-yes, better—have been tied to a stake. There are lots of oases of this sort all ever England—all over the world. A few of them we hear of ; millions of them we never hear ! of. Sometimes it is heart disease ; sometimes rheumatism ; tometimes consumption j sometimes general debility; | * sometimes kidney and bladder oompl jint j . sometimes * nervous prostration j sometioaes liver disorder. That is, the ■ doctors call it .by these hard names, but at the bottom it is indigestion and dyspepsia, and all - these: other ' so-called diseases are';just tokens, and symptoms of ' more nor less; : If a man never had any trouble with bis, stomachy he might live for ever, for aught we can tell. Yet how, in Mercy’s name, can a man or woman , work with death and corruption inisde of. the ; body—with vthe stomach full of decaying food, sending poisipn through the blood to . every joint, muscle, and nerve f This is, what dyipepiia does. Indigestion is a slow, but sure poison, just as taking so many grains ! of arsenic every day would be.
Here is another oaie, that of,s rail way fireman who write* from Hnrlford. He says, “I have been a sufferer from indigestion and dyspepsia lor three ...years; I tried several doctors, but got Worse all the time. At last I went to a chemist, and he promised to cure me in a week or two. He sold me three very expensive bottles of medicine, and all the effect I felt from it was the loss of my money.’ Then I got hold of a bottle of Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and was b.ettv almost at once. How sorry J aim I didn’t mo It • ago ! ” Wo afro this manW - ' years S 3 ?? idld "'V ..dot pm 7 .™ while g°°d as tied up for a long * xiiness is a strong rope.
Here is one more.illustration. Mr B. B. Hopton, of Long Weston, 867*; —" I am sixty-eight years old., has not , quite made me a young man again, but it has cured me of asthma, nervous pros* t rat ion, and a throat ailment arising from impure blood. I was too iir for labor, yet oan now do my work, thanks to that great remedy. Sou may publish the fact. The whole oomplioation came first from indigestion."
And this is the way people are bound until Mother Sergei's Curative Syrup seta them free.
