THEY MUST AGREE.

j_ s to matters that.have no practical oijtcome it is of no consequence whether we agree or not. The earth may ibe. as some say it is, a molten mass .save for a shell a few miles thick on ItJie outside), or it may be solid and cool all the way through from London to Sydney. Ilowever it may be, we do nothing about it. So let the Ecientific chaps go on speculating to their heart's content; the world will __eep revolving as usual, and we shall &aye to continue picking up our living from its surface. Recently in my reading I have, come upon articles in certain medical journals—uncanny, uninteresting publications, that they are, for nonprofessional perusal —going to show that it is not the heart which impels the blood through the body, but the chemical action of oxygen inhaled by the hin^s. A prodigious discovery, if it _ X a discovery a* all. Yet what odds would it make'? Jfone* whatever. Fair women would blush by the help of the capillaries as c f old,' and we should tie rtigs around cut fingers just the same. It follows, j__V brethren, that some things may _e*mysteries to the end of the chapter. and "no harm done, and others inav differ without disturbing the serenity' of our passing days—a. most soothing reflection. But .the advantage or otherwise of a person's food agreeing or disagreeing ■with him is not a mere matter of opinion. There is only one way to look at that. As a whole, food must, agree with us, and we with it. or we are ruined. A lady ot Sheffield, Mrs S. A. Smith, suffered a long, wearisome, and costly illness simply because her food failed to agree with her. For three years she was weak and wretched on account of it- The. light aud pleasure •went, out, of her life. She needed to eat, of course, just'as she needed to breathe; yet, after every meal—commonly'of light things taken in small oiianfi'lies, and slowly—she was imnirdiately seized with pains, in the ptoiritf-h,;"the chest, and the left side. Was not this a hard recompense for doiii-g what nature compelled her to do -to'eat?

Any act which causes pain is performed as seldom as possible, antl as incompletely. For who wauls to suffrr? ■

f.v-iiing so little—not half as much as !'cr body called for—Mrs Smith lost jfli'sli a.nil st length. Necessarily. •Draw more money out of the bank than yon deposit and presently the brink returns your elieqnes marked "\'n fluids." To be sure. Nobody tiir make twice two equal five.

"i got to be so feeble I could scarcely £•: about,." says the lady. "I was Hike this for three, years from the spring of 189.'! —being worse in the spring than at other seasons. What to do more than I had done, I didn't -•know, when one day. my aunt, Mrs William Andrew, of Willoughton, urged nic to fa.ke Mother Seigel's Syrup. After having done, so for a short time, Ihe complaint—indigestion—was hcttei", and soon it wholly disappeared. I-im now en I ircly cured and strong and hearty as I was before my illness came upon nie. You may rest assured that, after sn fortunate an experience tvith Mother Seigel's Syrup, 1 recom mended it to all my friends, and in 6ending yon this short statement it is my wish thht yon should print if, for jjjhe good of others if you so desire."—

After every meal I had oppression at the chest and sides, and n great deal of «jyn.' Whatever food 1 toolc disagreo/rwith me, and T grew weak. I am'a dressmaker, and when at my work I had so great, pain T could jbarrlly bea.r it. T' tried all the usual medicines for indigestion, bnfc got worse and worse. One. day in July, ] read about Mother'Soigel's Syrup, and ■ got a bottle of Mr Hatters-ley, chemist, (West Tndia Dock Road, and in a few days felt .better. After taking a second bottle 1 was cured, and have been well ever since." —(Signed) (Miss) Minnie Wvati,' 46, West India Dock __oad. London, E., October 14, 1898.

Yes, it is true, health and life depond on a perfect agreement between ourselves and our fond. This is not a .natter of opinion, ft. is a vital and living-relationship, and nofhi-Mg doe? so much to promote the agreement, as Die frequent and timely use of .Mother Seigel's Syrup.
