HOW A LOT OF MONEY LEAKS OUT.

What <W s :i man do when he finds a hole in he pocket where he curries lm money? Anyholy cm answer thsii. question. Fie has itsewed up, of course, siml g>»> I nnd strong, too. I suppose ifc is with you ju.st as it is with me. When I spend money, even foolishly, I can tell where it went, and may be I've had some sort of pleasure out of it. Buh Ido mortally hate to 10.-v iiion- -y ; out siiid out, you know, and have no satisfaction from ifc, or know how or when it left my possession. Well, now, let let me show yon the worst and biggest hole any man ever lud in his pocket; a hole that lets the cash leak away like water through a sieve, a hole that is the hardest in the world to sew up. A short story will show ib best : — " Druvnmore South Cottage, "Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, "September 16th, 1891. " Gentlemen, -Up to 1885 I was always strong and healthy. About this timo I began to feel bad. I was tired, languid, dull, and listless and everything was a burden to inc. I had no desiro for company, and what had come over mo I could not make out. My tongue and mouth were dry, and I had a deal of phlegm on my stomach. The whites of my eyes next became discoloured and my skin was yellow. 1 had no appetite, and after eating I had groat pain at my chest and sides, also across my stomach. After a time the pain settled in my left side, and my heart would beat and jump in a manner that alarmed me. By and by I got so weak that 1 was not able to go about the house, and I felt that I ought to be in bed. The pains at my side and stomach became so bad that I had to remove my clothing (everything .seemed so tight), and I used to press my stomach and hold my sides to try to ease the pain. Getting worse 1 saw a doctor at Musselburgh and was under him for three months, but his medicine did me no good. After this I went to a clever doctor at Preston Pans who said I was suffering from indigestion and dyspepsia. He sen* to London for some celebrated medicine which was packed in small pials. This medicine seemed to dissolve my food and I felt easier for a time but I gained no I strength or real benefit, and after persevering with his treatment for six months I gave ifc u|> and fell into my old state. I next went to a doctor at Mussolburgh, but all his medicines did me no good. After this I saw another doctor (that is a fourth doctor) but with the same result; none of them gave me anything that reached my complaint. I now lost all faith in physic, for I had speni a deal of money and taken so much ttediciue th.it I ' lost all my teeth through it ' and was no better of it. In groat misery I lingered on month after month, always ailing, when in August last year— lß90 — my husband wiled at Mr Jack's Drug Stores. High Street, JFi.sherrow, and told him what my condition was. Mr Jack gave him an account of the wonderful cures he h*ard of from many of his customers that had taken a' certain medicine celled Seigel's Syrup, and strongly recommended him to bring me a bottle. Re did so and I commenced taking the Syrup, aud 1 found some- relief from the first bottle, and by the time I had taken four bottles, I was as well and strong aa ever I was in my life, and have since kept in good health. I tell every one what Seigel's Syrup has done for me. ' I never thought to get better again,' and I consider it has saved my life. I wish others to know this, and if by publishing this statement it will be the means of helping others as it helped me you oan use this letter aa you like. Yours truly, Q (signed) Jemima Watson." Look back to about the middle of 'the above letter and again read what the writer says :— " I had spent a deal of money for medicine." Yes, and money she could poorly afford to spare. Illn9ss and the expense of illness is the greab hole in the pocket that I alluded to. Ifc costs so much, and what does it give us in return? Pain, weariness, and misery. There is another consideration besides. When we are ill we not only have ,to bear the increased outgo, but; manage to meet larger demands out of a decreased income. Our candle is burning at both enris, " Yes," you say, " but how' can we keep from {Vtlling ill ?'' You cannot always, but in view of the fact that most illnesses arise from indigestion and dyspepsia, a timely use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup will prevent it. A few shillings thus invested will save pounds in money and perhaps months of wretchedness. Think over the striking points in Mrs Watson's excellent letter and you will think the same.
