EXPLAINED IN FIVE MINUTES.

You have heard it said that the boy is father to the man. Yes. Very good. Now see what a prodigious deal may be tied up in that idea. • ■■ Youth is the sowing time of life and maturity the reaping time. You agree to that. Very srood — again. In-youth nature puts forth every effort to bnild up your body. She absorbs everything she can lay hands on for thit purpose The whole body throbs with life a« at no other time. Nature scrapes together buildiasr material (I mean food) rom every direction. You -know what aters healthy children are. Nature is lot thinking of tha future. She i* bioking only of now—SOW. She is greedy to make you a man, and perfect-, y careless of what becomes of you after hat. Your appetite i? gauged by the needs 1 growth -not by your ability '6 [igeat. So it comes to pass thit, in no nd of cases, youDg people eat too much, [Tiey eat wrong things, <h">y eat with •ut any thonght of regularity. Hence Dsufficient gastric juice (digesting nice), stomaoh distension, and feraentation. Bits (*mall bits, of course) if undigested food get into the circulaion, and through the right side of the teart into the lung*, where they obtruct the minute blood vessels at the op of the luncs What then? Why. they finally beome organised into tubercle or changed nto the chalky or cheesy deposits so if ten found there. The end, sooner or ater, is consumption. Over feeding, rregular feeding, or under feedinsr, all five rise to indigestion ; and indigestion s, more than anything e'se, he cau*e if consumption, and of a lot of ailments vhich we suffer f<-om besides. For example, a woman sayp : "In he spring of 1891 I bevan to puffer rom weakness. I bad a bad tapte in ih.9 mouth, and n > desire for food Ifter eating I had ptin at the chest md irides Nothing would stay on mv itomach. and for many woeks I never waited solid -fooV I had a bad pa : n a ihe back of my h ad ; mv sisrht was Km. and specks floated before my eyes [ got very nervnu* and lost a deal ol deep, fofline no better for eoing to bed. Sradnallv I got weaker and weaker md so thin I waa nnthinsr bu»- skin and bone. I trot so weak I had to be lifted From the bed to a chair by the fire; »nd when I felt stronger I went aboui by the aid of a stick. " I saw doctor after doctor and got medicine from the dispensary, but nothing helped me. After two years' suffering a I*^7 who came to se* me said she had been h*nefited by Mother Seicr«l'B Svrnp. and gWe me a bottle After taHna- it a week I fonnd myself improving; my appetite being better, and food agreeing with me. I had less Bi A knew, and felt better altogether. Continciog with <hi« meaicine the pain and nervous feeling soon left me. Since then I have kept in good health. taking a dose or two when needed, I have told many persons of wh«t Mother SeifrePs Syrup did for me, and you can pnbKch this statement «s you wish. (Signed) (Mrs.) Hannah Douglas, M«in Street, Portarliosrton, Que=n*B Co., Ireland, August 20th. 1896." Now, this woman did not hnve consumption of the lungs as commonly understood; she had somefhiner qnite a* b*d — consumption of the whole body with attendant prostation of the nervous system. Distinct Inner disease might or might not have followed * little later The point is this, and I want you not to miss it. Consumption arises from th» introdoolion of foreism bodies into the lunjrs, which coma oftener from the stomach than anywhere elae, in the w*y I have deecribed.
