PEOPLE BOUND TO THE STAKE

The great majority ,pf people hereto work for a .diving with hand c r or head, or both. Very well. To make our living we must be able so many'boor a day, days in a week/ ! weeks‘in a year. Very good again. But eiippoie we eaoh had an enemy ( ,who possessed the power to tie us ;np with a rope when he pleased., ; To day he ties only the left arm,and to mojrow. T {ho. right, the nex . day a leg, and’ bo on. Once in a while he tieaustd our.bsds and keeps ns there a week. How much, would he cost, us in hard oasb in a yrarp, and bow niaoh would it be worth to us if we oould chain him i to a rook. orJhang him. with his own rape ? Let. us hare a rough illustration or two. A man wai working on the Midland Railway

as a signalman. We all know what the position is, and bate some idea of the labour and responsibility. ""Well, he kept at it foi several years, never missing a day. He knew his business, nobody better, and nothing went wrong on .his section of the line ; but by-and-by his enemy .began to tie him up. -Somehow he couldn’t,eat .with a,■ relish any more ;when : he tried he was, taken with such a distress it, took all the life oat of him. Then he wan'd have times when he was so giddy that everything went round and f round like a wfairgigig. If this had { happsnedd when he had aaignalto set, a collision might have xbame of it: happily it did not. Other ropes were, tied round him: he bad pains in hie chest and sides, his bowels became costive, tongue coated, bad taste in the mouth, heartburn, weakness, tea. The doctors sail ha would.have to give up his situation but he couldn't, ‘ There were the wife and children to look out for and only his earnings to do it with. But finally he broke down altogether, and. was laid up for weeks, unconscious. .part of the time Then, we may sav, he was tied hand and foot. His enemy had him' fait, and he came nigh killing him. One day, efber f the doctors had given him up, his mind was f -clear, and - he .remembered, a medicine-!—half the bottle full—ho had hidden, away in a looker in a signal.box ,andiforgotten all about it. He sent for it and took a dose In less than a month he was a well man ; the ropes were all out away. It you write to him (Andrew 'Aggei Oulgaithi:Cumberland) he will tell you this medicine, was Mother Seigel’s Ourttiyej Syrup, Wand; his ailment was indigestion and dyspepsia, But whilst he was ill with it, he'night- as- well—yes, belter—have been tied to a stake. There. are lots of oases of this-sort all over England—ail over the world. A few of them we hear of; millions of them we never hear of Sometimes it is heart disease ; sometimes rheumatism ; sometimes consumption j fomotimes general debility; sometimes kidney a>-d bladder oompl int; sometimes nervous prostration; sometimes 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 <just tokens,; and symptoms of that—neither.more nor less. If a man never had any trouble with bis stomach, he might live for ever, for aught we oau tell. Yet bow, in Mercy’s name, can a man or woman work with death and corruption inisdo of the body—with the stomach full of decaying food, sending poision through the blood to every joint, muscle, and nerve I* This is what dyipepsia does. Indigestion is a slow, but sure poison, just as taking so many grains of arsenic every day would be. Here is another case, that of a railway fireman who writes from Hurlford. He says, "I have been a sufferer from indigestion and dyspepsia for three years ; I tried several 1 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 ar bottle of Mother Seigel’s Syrup, and was better almost at once. How sorry lam I didn't use it years ago ! We can give this man’s name if you care to have: It. He didn’t want it prin ed. But be was as good as tied up lor a long while. Illness is a strong rope. Here is one more illustration. Mr B. BHopton, of Long Weston, says:—"l am sixty-eight years old. Mother Seigel'e Syrup has not quite made me a young man again, but it has cured; me of asthma, nervous prostration* and a. throat ailment arising from impure blood. I, was too ill for, labor, yet oau now do roy work, thanks to that great i femody. You may publish the f«et, Tiw ' whole complication came first from lion.” '“ lge8 ‘ ay people are bound until Mother ■ Curative Syrup seta them
