THEY SPORT WITH HUMAN LIFE.

I'll give you the plain facts of the case, and you shall help me to judge whether there was a mistake or 'riot. It seems that some time in 1889 — the winter, no doubt— -Mr, Strong of Leicester, was _ taken down with influenza, often called the grip f and truly a strong grip it has when it once takes a held. Well, lam glad to say he was able to fight tfre battle" arid get the best of it. "Bi\t the best was hot anything to brag about. The influenza hadn't exactly beaten Mr Strong, but it had left Him in a very bad condition. And here is where you and I pick up the the thread of the story. His meals did not tempt him, the most savoury dishes had no charm for our friend. He had lost his appetite, and in the long run a man had better lose his money. He forced down something of course, but it gave him such a -pain in the chest that he wished he had not swallowed a mouthful. Then, naturally, he got so weak and nervous he couldn't sleep o' nights. This, as everybody knows is the straight I'oad to the grave, through Lots of people are making this trip all time. We must eat and we must sleep. If we don't we are dsne for. Neuralgic pains, too, made matters worse for Mr Strong. He saw a docter and what did the doctor do ? . This is what the patient says on the point : 'This doctor gave me all kinds of strengthening medicines, but 'none of them did me any good, and I continued to suffer for months.' Just what we might have expected. Mr-Strong further says : 'In October, 1890, my friend, Mr James Webster, of 28, New Walk, Leicester, advised me to try a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I followed his advice. The first bottle gave me relief,' and 1 began to digest my food and to have an appetite ; and after I j had used three bottles I was quite an- ! other man. I was completely cured, All my akes and pains left me, my strength returned and I have been all right ever since. What astonished me ! was that the Syrup cured me so' I quickly, and I shall never cease thankj ing Mr Webster for making it known |to me. You are at liberty to publish jmy case for the benefit of others, I Yours truly, (signed), W. Strong, 41 East Street, Leicester, December 30th 1891.' Now, was there a mistake in this j matter, and, if so, what was it 1 ? Yes, there was a common mistake made. It is ah old and a seemingly hopeless blunder. ' The doctor,' said Mr Strong, ' gave me all kinds of "strengthening medicines." ' j Open wide your ears and remember what I'm now going to tell you ; remember it for the hour of your helplessness and pain. There is no such thing as strengthening medicine, neither in the earth or the waters under the earth. This is the truth ; all the high-class doctors know it. As for the others — ■well, the less said about them the better. Mr Strong took strengthening medicines and what happened to him ? Why he 4< continued to suffer from month to month.' Did you ever see a horse look stronger and fatter by spurs and whip 1 leaving off oats and hay? I think you have not. And that is what strengthening medicines do, and all they do. So-called tonics are like kicking a sick man to make him walk fast.. Nothing under the sun imparts strength but digested food — no drug ever does. And herein is the perpetual success and victory of Mother Seigel's Syrup ; it cleanses the system of disease-poison and leaves nature sweet and free. The stomach then cries ' Feed me,' and so power and. health come back like green grass after a shower. Do you see 1 Mother Seigel proclaims, • I destroy disease !' Nature responds, • Only do that, and I can take care of myself.' The disease is indigestion and dyspepsia. Mr Strong had it and was badly treated. .Should YOU have it try the Syrup first— not last, for I have told you why. Experience. London, March, 1892,
