ONLY A LITTLE AT A TIME.

There are sound objections to one's knowing too much about his own body. lam going to tell you what they are ; not to-day, but soon. To make sure of them you will have to watch! these articles sharply in the newspapers. Yet we Bhotild know a little • and a fraction of that little I will serve up now. Please favour me with your attention, "* Right across the middle of the body is a large thin, flat muscle, stietched like a canvas awning —the diaphragm. By it jou are divided into two large storeys or compartments. The upper one contains the heart and lungs, the lower one contains (chiefly) the stomach, the intestines, and the liver. The most painful (internal) diseasea occur downstairs, the least painful upstairs. The entire right side of the lower compart* ment, from the top down to tho short ribs, ia filled by the liver, which is suspended to a mere point of tho diaphragm and shakes about every movement you make. Now, for tho location of tho liver we hare A word used for ages to express one of the most unhappy conditions a human being can fall into —the word hypochondria {often abbreviated to "hopo"), the word meaning ukdkr the OKRTILAGES. "For seven years," writes a correspondent, " I suffered from complaint o f the liver. I was very bilious, my skin was sallow and dry, and tho whites of my eyes yellow. I had much pain and weight at my right side, and was constantly depressed and melancholy. It seemed to bo out of my power to toke a hopeful or cheerful view of anything. The effect of this complaint on the mind was one of the aspects of it hardest to bear, I had lost my natural appetite, aud ate to support life ; but there was no more genuine relish for fcod or drink. The bad taste in my mouth made all that I took taste bad. Smetimes J would be taken sick and throw up all I htd eaten : and after a meal, no matter how slender and simple, 1 was troubled with fulness and pain at the chest. I used many kinds of medicines and while some of them may have relieved me for the moment, none conferred any lasting benefit, and I was soon as bad as ever. " Jn March, 1892, I read a small book of what Mother Seigei'a Curative Syrup had done in. cases similar to mine, and wns especially interested in the account given in the bcok of the nature and duties of tho liver, and its disorders, I got a bottle of the Syrup from Boots' Drug Stores, and after taking it a few days felt quite like a new man. It seemed to correct my stomach and liver and clear my system of all bile ; AND IT I/KFT MB IN CAPITAL HEALTH. Since that time I hnvo kept Mother Seigel's Syrup in the house as a family medicine and have commended it to all my friends as the best known cure for ailments like tho one from, which I suffered so miserably and ao long. You can use this statement as you like. (Signed) John Gent, i>9, Coventry Road, Bulwell, Nottingham March 21 st, 1895," " In the Spring of 1891," writes another, ''I found myself in bad health. I had do appetite, aud the little I did eat did me no good, gave mo no strength, I had great pain and weight at the chest and right side, and my skin turned sallow and dry. My kidneys also acted badly, and from time to time I had attacks of gravel ; and cold, clammy, weakening sweats broke out all over me. Being only seventeen years old when the trouble began I was greatly a 'armed and anxious. No doctor was able to help me, and I coutinued thus for over three years. In June, '894, I began to use Mother Seigel's .Syrup and soon felt batter, lighter, and more cheerful. And by taking it a few weeks longer I recovered my health and strength. Since then, when. I have any stomach, liver, or kidney symptoms* I resort to. Mother Seigel's Syrup and it Kever fails to set me right. You can publish this letter. Signed) 0. Hanson, 6, New Inn Lane, Gloucester, May 31st 1895." The stomach, the liver, and the kidneys are all connected parts of the food and digestive system. When disordered (usually through torpidity of the stomach) they cripple the body and throw a gloom as of night over the mind On the earliest signs of anything wrong with them use Mother Seigel's Syrup at once.
