THE BOTTOM PRINCIPLE.

Nothing1 'merely happens so.' Always keep that fact where you can see it. Whatsoever comes to^pass lias o n adequate cause right -Behind it. I don't say this as though it were a pew discovery. Not a bit. It is the bottom principle of all knowledge, jut we are apt to forget it—that's the point; we forget it, and so have a Jot of trouble there's no need to have. Here is Miss Esther May, whom we are glad to hear from, and to know. In the matters set forth in her short letter she speaks, not^for herself only, but for two-thirds of the women in England. 'In July, 1590,' she says, 'I had an attack of influenza, which left me in a weak, exhausted condition. I felt languid and tired. Everything was a trouble to me. The good appetite that is natural to me was gone; and when I did take a little food it gave me a dreadful pain in the chest. There was also a strange sensation in jay stomach. I felt as if I had eaten too much when perhaps I had scarcely eaten anything. * 'Then, after a time, I began to have a dry, hacking cough, aud to break out in cold, clammy sweats. JTot very long- afterwards my ankles began to puff up and swell, so that when I stood or. my feet it was very painful. 'I gradually got worse, and worse. The medicines given me by the doctors seemed to have no effect. I lost flesh, like one in consumption, and I feared I should never be any better.

'In March, ISO 3, a g-entleman told me about Mother Seigel's Curative Sjrrup, and said he believed it would help me. Although I had no faith in it I sent for the Syrup and began taking it. One bottle relieved me and gave me some appetite. I ate and enjoyed my food as I had not done for years. I gained strength every day.

'I am now as healthy and hearty as I ever was in my life, and I owe it to Mother Seigel's Syrup.— (Signed) Esther May, Buckingham lioacl, Korthfleet. Kent, September Bth, 1593.' 'In the spring of 1857,' writes another correspondent, 'my wife got into a low state of health. She complained at first of feeling tired and weary, and could not do her work as nsuai. Her mouth tasted badly; she couldn't eat; and she had a deal of pain in her chest and back. 'Later on her ]egs began to swell, and soon the swelling' extended to her body. With all this her strength failed more and more, until sl:e could just go about the house in a feeble fashion, and that was all. No medical treatment did more than to relieve her, as 3-ou may say, for the moment.

'This was her condition when Mother Seigel's Syrup first came Tinder our notice. We read of it in a book that was left at our house. After she. had taken the Syrup only a few days she was decidedly -better. And, to conclude, by a faithful use of the medicine the swelling- went down, her appetite came back, and she was soon as well and strong- as ever. Seemg1 what the Syrup had done for my wife, I began to, take it for indigestion and dyspepsia, which had troubled me-for years; and it completely ci?red me.— (Signed) J. Heath, Orotava House, Alpha Road, Cambridge, June 15th, 1893.'

We were spealpng of nothing happening without a cause. The cause of all the suffering of these two women was one and the same —indigestion and dyspepsia; Men have it often enough, but this) disease is especially the bane of women — with. chronic constipation as one of its' worst features. It ire the cause of nearly all the ills and ailments they suffer from. Let every woman get the book which Mr Heath speaks of and learn all about it. They can thus find out what the "first symptoms are, and take Mother Seigel's SjTup the very day they appear.
