Now, where is the likeness between Mr Sperrin's experience and our illustration about the horse 1 It is this: The horse gains no new strength from the application of the spur, Of course we '• all see that he cannot. But the pain arouses him and makes a draf on hia reserved nervous power—with a corresponding degree of exhaustion to follow. This is always Nature's way. She gives nothing for nothing. all must be paid for,. Look back at Mr Sporrin's statement where he says:" I kept on at . mi/ work, for I had « wife and family depending on me." That was his spur, It was work or worse lor him, as it ia with most of us, But ho had to pay for labouring when he was unable, by having to givo up work altogether, and what the end would have been had not Seigel's Syrup come to the rescue, no- ' body can say. Possibly the saddest thing wo can think, of, Any way (his triumphant medicine saved him, and ho oan 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. WHAT PEOPLE SAY, Mrs HI. L Morgan, Olifton, Aratapu, Auckland, H, L, under date 23rd January, 1892, writes:— Dear Sir—Gome two years ago, having previously enjoyed good health,l was seriously taken ill, and found it very difficult to get relief. At first I treated myself thinking that I should soon be well again; but my illness grew upon me and 1 was completely prostrated, and unable to do anything, 1 sought medica advice from cur local doctor, and he prescribed for mo, My ailment was described as black jaundice and gall stones, nnd at limes 1 Buffered much pain. Cur doctor's treatment did not do mo much good, as the attacks were frequent and very severe. Some months passed, and I felt that I was becoming hopelessly ill. My friends were shucked at my sallow and changed appearance, and more than one has told me since that they never expected to see me well again, I went to Auckland for change of air and scene, and to seek further medioal advioo. I got it, and for a time seemed to improvo, the change evidently doing me good; but it was not ionio enough, for after a week or so I was again laid up, All .the medical aid 1 got in Auckland seemed unavailing, and I returned home with very little to hope for, Here I suffered severe attacks, and had to lay up repeatedly. My husband had a very poor opinion of patent medicines, but seeing Olement's Tonic advertised as of such wonderful effect in serious oases, and being quite at a loss to suggest any other untried remedy, he brought home a bottle and we determined to try it. At the same time we resolved to say nothing of the medicine wo were using until fully satisfied of its effects. The first dnßo did me good and 1 improved rapidly. Friends who would not have been surprised to hear of my. death were really astonished at my recovery. I was soon satisfied as to the valuo of Clemints Tonic, and gladly recommended it to others, and so did my husband, -Tho storekeeper Bpoko to him one day and asked him if he had been recommending Clements Tonic, for he had almost sold out, and had only one bottle, left, " Give it to me," said my hnsband, "I wouldn't be without it for anything." By the tuno I had taken one buttle I was able to get about my work again. Friends thought the improvement only tempor • ary, and expected to3ee me prostrated again, but I am thankiul to say thatßueh has not been the case. Every dose did i its' work, and after a fortnight I only took one dose a d<y, in the early morning. 1 havo used only three buttles, and have the fourth in the house. Ido not take it regularly, but fly to it on the least symptom of anything being wrong, and I have many times proved it to be a good preventive of returning sickness, It is now eight or nine months since I recovered, and Olement's Tonic has kept me in good health all through. I oan again get on with my house and dairy work with com« fort and pleasure. I am pleased to be able to recommend Clement's Tonic, for I have found it's true friend, and ain convinced that it will give health to many suffering, if they will only jive It a trial.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully, M L.
