Better to Make a Fight.

- • : <» ~^~ When the.good knight, Don Quixote, hung by ; his wrist from the stable window, he imagined that a tremendous abyss yawned beneath his feet. Presently the thong was cut, -and the . gallant adventurer fell four inches. Many others, before and since his x day, haye had similar experiences. "Black clouds, seemingly full of concealed lightnings and unuttered thunder, haye drifted harmlessly over our heads. Calamities, when ihey really come are often found much ; less dreadful than we feared them to be. May, not this be true also in respect of that inevitable event, death ? After much observation Pliny avowed his opinion that che moment of dissolution was the most exquisite instant of life. It, can at least do no harm to uphold that theory, whether it be true or not. None of us- will be in any greater hurry to leave the world on that accounti; Poor and. mean as our lives may be in the opinion of certain bilious pessimists, the majority find life eminently worth living, and make a gallant fight for it : accordingly. This was what a woman did, whose brief account of her v struggles I 'now submit to you. ' And I am glad to say she came out of it a clear winner. Mrs Rose Lynch, who lives at No. 15, Morion Place, Carlton, Melbourne, is the picture of health to-day. She and her husband formerly kept a dairy farm in Gippsland. In a letter addressed, on January nth, 1904, to the proprietors of Mother Seigel's remedies, she said.: "For a very long period my life wa s ; made ; very wretched by chronic indigestion, My-food seemed to stick half way clown in a hard -lump, O.causing great pain and distress in j the chest. . I could keep nothing in my stomach, and suffered extremely from headaches, giddiness, and general debility. I tried many remedies, but none appeared to suit my case. . As' time went on and my sufferings increased I became low-spirited and despondent. I was •then-living in Gippsland, ancl about four year s and six months back, when visiting my brother-in-law, at Yarragon, in turning over' tlie con- j tents of a chest I came across a half-emptied bottle-.of Mother- Seigel's Syrup. • .'■"■"' At first, on noticing the word ' Syrup ' on the label, I thought it was a child's medicine, ..but, looking closer, I 'saw it was intended ,to cure indigestion.' I had the disease in a very acute Yorm at the time, and. so I thought I would try a' dose of tlie; Syrup. ; The effect was ".magical,; for it gave me immediate; relief.'; I continued to fake" it, gaining in health, strength, and cheerfulness all the while', v uh til the bottle was emptied;, Then I Obtained some more from the store. y ''. ' ' "My improvement was rapid, steady, and permanent./ very soon every symptoni pfindij.gestibn left .me,,- and -niy -health was completely 'restored. Now I can eat well, sleep weil,' and ! work well, and I never know what it-is to feel depressed.,, or in low spirits, and all this improvement, is due. entirely to Mother Seigel's • Syrup. My own experience shows clearly that your wonderful remedy will prove a blessing to ;■' all who suffer fro n indigestion." • i How I should enjoy standing before a great audience, and,: with-. Mrs. Lynch's letter as a text, preaching a lay sermon on the facts mentioned- in it. • But in" the absence of such a ; comment, I urge, yoii to read and- re-read I the •letter ; for here we have a typical instance -of. .what is happening to the people, and . a proof of what can be done to save them. -'We see that a winning battle can be made. for. life, and health in the face of doubt and discouragement, .and J^fter a foilwe pf other treatirieoi:,
