What does a Spur do for a Horse.

Your horse is weak and weary with a long day's journey. You have riddon him since early morning, lmpationt to reach a shelter for the night, you drive the spur into his panting sides. He leaps forward and for a time trots onward rapidly. IHd did the spur do for him ? Did it give him strength ? If so, why feed him? If not, what made him'go faster ? Here is a short personal statement which a man makes. Try if you can see any likeness botwoon the two cases. flesays: "Up to August, 1885, lwas always a Btrong, healthy man, At that time I began to feel tired, dull, and heavy, with a faint, dizzy Bensation as if 1 should tumble down any minute. 1 could not imagine what was coming over mo. There was a badtaßte in my mouth, mybroath was bad, and my mouth would often fill with an offensive slimy matter My appetite was poor, and aft»r eating I buffeted great pain, and wind would roll all over me. I had much pain at the stomach, and was sick every morning, and threw up a great deal of phlegrr. 1 also had a pain like the thrust of a knife cutting me between the shouldors and low down in the back at the kidneys, "When at work, I got tired in fivo minutes, and had to stand and rest. " I kept on with my work, however, for some time as best I could, for 1 had a wife and family depending upon me. But it was a hard and tedious task, as even stooping made me cry out with pain. After a while I prow so weak 1 could scarcely orawi about, and was com* pelted to givo up my employment, When I ventured out of doors I felt so dizzy that I had frequently to stop and rest for fear of falling, and was so .bad that people would think 1 was in drink, and I had often to call at a chemist's and get a draught to help me home.. I tried herbs and other medicines, and,was attended by a doctor, but I got no better. In this dead-and-alive way 1 lingered on until April, 1890, whon my wife got an almanac from the druggist, and I read of a caso of a railway guard at ManChester, who had been cured by a medicine called Mot er Beigel's Curative

Syrup after tho doctors had up.< So '. wrote to him, and he replied that it hai oured him and wonld do me good Upon this 1 got a bottle, and after a fev doses 1 felt bettor, and by keeping oi using it I was soon all right and back a my work, and have been well ever since When I feel any sign of stomach disordo a few doses cure me directly. I feel ven grateful for tho great benefit I havi received, and wish others who may bi ill to know of it; as, if I had known o Mothor Bezel's Syrup at the onset ! would hayo been saved over four yean suffering. [ have lived in Birkd.ih fifteen years, and if any one writes to mi I ahall be glad to reply, (Signed)" Thomas SpEßam, " Kitchen Range Setter, "28, Stamford Road, "Birkdalo.Southport." Now, where is the likeness botweer MrSperrin's oxperionce and our illus> (ration about the horse ? It is this: The horsegainano.new strength from the application of the spur, Of course we nll_ seo that he cannot, But the pain arouses him' and makes a. drafl on his reserved nervous power-with a corresponding degreo of exhaustion to follow. This is always Nature's way. She gives nothing for nothing. aII must bo paid for. Look back at Mr Sporritrt statemcnt.where he says: "Ihpt on ai my work, for I hai a wife and .family (tcjieiidiiisfon)k".That:washia spur, It was work or worso tor him, as it it with moat of us. But he had to pay fo'i labouring whim .he was unable, by having to qivp up work altogether,. and what tho end would have been 'had not Scigel's Syrup come to the rescue, hobody can say, Possibly Hie saddest thing wo can think of. Any way this triumphant medicine saved him, and he can work now without a spur. If the reader also has indigestion and dyspepsia, with its painful and alarming consequences and symptoms, or knows of another who has, he will be able to treat himself or advise his friend.'
