"WHEN HE FEELS OFF COLOUR."

It would, no doubt, have been wise in Mr D. Lanham to take a complete rest on Sundays, auyway, but all the more so under the circumstances he mentions. Sir Lanham is a cooper, and for the last twenty-five years has pursued his calling in Charlotte-street, Brisbane, Queensland. Tbat he is known to most people of the city naturally follows; for Brisbane has attained its prominence within that period. "Some seven years ago," writes Mr Lanham, under date of September 2S, 1899, "I began for the first time in my life to suffer from indigestion. With it were asthmatic symptoms, although 1 did not then understand that the latter complaint is often caused by the former.

"The combined diseases continued to plague me for three years, and a miserable stretch of time it was. I was reluctantly obliged to give tip some of my engagements, and found that after working six days I needed a complete rest on Sundays.

"No medicines, or kind of treatment, doing me any good, I finally concluded to see what virtue there might be in Mother Seigel's Syrup. I had heard of-it before, but never used it—possibly on account of the unreasonable, prejudice so widely felt against advertised medicines. "However, about four years ago, my attention was strongly called to it by an acquaintance, and 1 tried it, yet not with any lively hope of its helping me. Nevertheless, I found it extremely beneficial. It did what no other remedy had done or even begun to do; it set me right. "Nowadays I always keep Mother Seigel's Syrup in the house, and whenever I feel the approach of any of my former symptoms I resort to it; and it never fails to give relief. "Ali.my family, use it whenever they are ill or depressed (probably from indigestion). One of my sons in particular, is enthusiastic in its praises, and says there is nothing like Mother Seigel's Syrup to set him right again whenever he feels off colour.

"I am an old resident of Brisbane, having carried on a cooperage business here for the last twenty-five years. You are at liberty to publish what I have said should you think fit to do so." —D. Lanham.

"Probably from indigestion," says Mr Lanham, in accounting for the feeling of mental depression. He is wholly, luminously, right. In most instances it doVs come from indigestion, and so do the great majority of our troubles,- of mind or body. And for indigestion, in all its forms and phases, the cure is Mother Seigel's Syrup*
