WEARY INDIGESTION. ■".. - ■!'■,■ ,"*■?*,., A Collingwood Cricketer Disabled by this Disease is Cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. It is told of the great Duke of Wellington that on the rare occasions when he was not in good health he Avoul'd try to conceal the fact, as if to he ill were a. thing one should be ashamed of. But with all his ability h-9 was not successful in this curious endeavour. Being a man of restless activity, never happy" except when fully engaged with his affairs, for the Duke to sit idly, though it were only for a few hours, was a sure intimation to his attendants that all was not well with the great man. Besides, at such times the Duke lost his customary even temper, and became as issitable as a caged lion. Tha experience of most people has taught them what a provoking thing it is to have the will to work, and at the same time be prevented—held back, as it Avere by some bodily ailment that defies all •efforts to shake it off. "I felt languid, dull, and sleepy, unable to take interest in anything.

"As time went on, the disease acquired a firmer hold on my system, until my condition became utterly miserable. I tried many so-called remedies, which, however, in my case proved to be no remedies at all. The mixtures prescribed for me by the various doctors whom I consulted at different stages of my illness were equally useless, and I despaired of ever being myself again. But the turning point in the long lane of illness I had so painfully travelled was reached about ten months ago, when Mr. George Willis, an old friend of mine, led me to being a course of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, by which medicine he had himself been cured of indigestion after years of suffering. The very first dose gave me some relief; and when I had used it for n fortnight, I felt like a new man. I could eat and digest food, my natural energy returned, and work no longer unduly fatigued me. Before the fourth bottle was emptied I had in every respect recovered my health, and since then there has been no sign of a relapse. I
