MINED!
_!6w familiar has the term " mined " feecomo to us since the days of the War. Previously we only thought of it as applied to industry in the Diamond, Gold or Coal Fields. " Mined," however, has now a new significance since Frightfulness was let loose on the broad waters. It conjures up new mental pictures and ugly ones too. "Similarly, one often hears that > people fail to regard a lapse from normal health as serious until their constitution has been undermined. The pity of it that it should be so. It is far wiser and safer to commence remedying ills in their early stages, even though they be the common everyday ones, than to ignore or think lightly of them until they begin to undermine your vitality and physical well being. This truth is amply illustrated in the following letter: — X For a period of several years I was subject to indigestion, bilious attacks and splitting headaches. My tongue was heavily coa„d, there was a nauseous taste in the mouth, disagreeable eructations, and the very smell of food would turn my stomach and make mc retch and vomit. When bilious I felt helpless and good for nothing for hours. Scarcely a week elapsed without seeing mc down to a more or less severe attack. I felt that my system was being undermined and enfeebled by them. There was no improvement nntjl I commenced to use Mother SeigeVs Syrup, about eighteen months ago. The relief I gained from the first I doses convinced mc of its merits as a medicine, and as I continued to use it my good opinion of, and faith in it, increased, as my health rapidly improved i under the treatment. I never looked | back, but felt better and waxed stronger day by day until I was cured of all the old complaints and thoroughly set up in' health again. Fonr large bottles of Mother SeigeVs Syrup sufficed to bring about this happy change in my condition. I am still well and can enjoy my meals as well as the next one.
