HIS LEGACY.

(Statement of a British Physician.)

"The only thing 1 inherited from my parents," said a young fellow to me the other day, •• were poverty and a weak stomach-"

The statement is siig.estive. His poverty came with his had digestion, and remained because of it. for be grew to be a chronic dyspeptic, lacking the ambition and force necessary to win a living against the oorupetilioii of the healthy ami strong. ■• During the whole of my professional career."' says one of the inost successful physicians in Kn^.and,"l have been telling my patients that, so far as physical weak ness and dise.ise is the course of failures in hfe. the res|>oiisibie ailment in nine cases out ol ten is digestive weakness. The doctor is iigt>t; ana fortunately some good work is going on in that direction, as the followiug ca»e well proves. When Mr.s Fttton s health failed and she became alarmingly id, her medical advisers told her she was sulk-ring from general debility and indigestion. The information doubtless correct; bu : . itwuu:d have wen belter if Mrs Fitton's informants had not put the cart before the h'irse, but said'• indigestion and general debility " —for, of course, the general ilebiiity was only a. resuHof the indigestion. "For eighteen mouths,' says Mrs Fitlou, ■* I was under medical treatment; but I •;rew weaker all the time, and was far worse at the end ihan at the beinnnrng of I that period. I could not digest, and was so weak from want of nourishment and sieep ! that my housework became a burden too hard for me to bear. Headaches, too, and pains in various p<irts of my body, troubled me greatly, so that my condition was pitiable. " A friend's advice that I should try Mother Seigel's Syrup was not given a moment too soon. After taking that remedy for five days, I was somewhat relieved. The tightness at my chest which had been almost unbearable, eased somewhat, and there was no pain after eating Every bott'.e of the Syrup marked a long step forward in my march lowaid complete recovery, for which ten bottles proved sufficient. That was in 1898, and i have since continued in the enjoyment of perfect he-tlth, recommending Mother Seigel's I Syrup to every sulforer fcom indigestion who comes in my way."—(Signed) LUCY- | FITToX, 4 Ky Itr Stree*, Surrey Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March 10\h, 190 S. The lesson of .Mrs Fitton's experience is this: You must eat to live—you cannot doubt that—aud your strength and energy depend upon the way in which your stomacu c.'eals with the food jou eat. It must be properly digested, so as to give you the nourishment it contains The more thoroughly this is doce, the better will be your health of both body and mind. Never neglect the fir-it sigus of indigestion ; if you do a cure will be more difficult. Mother Seigel's Syrup, the famous herbal remedy for all stomach and liver disorders, is composed of roots, leaver, and barks, of great medicinal value, aud may be leplied upon to cure indigestion, headache, wind, constipation, and loss of appetite.
