INDIGESTION A SOURCE OF HUMAN MISERY.
Fully three-fourths of all the ailments that amict mankind begin in the stomach. Just pin that fact in your mind—and then from time to time, think over your pains and aches as they come upon you, and reason with the facts themselves. Here are the facts. Yon know that you are alive and have power of movement. How long would you live and how much could you move about if you went without food ? Now you are coming to it. The food you eat sustains life —it gives you nourishment—makes blood, muscle, nerve and bone. But what if your stomach does not digest that food properly ? Well, then it will only give you a part of the nourishment you should have. Is that the worst of it ? By no means. Where it does not digest properly it begins to ferment and decay in the heat of your stomach; just as it would if you ground it all up and moistened it and put it where the sun could warm it and start the process of decay. Of course that produces poisonous acids and foul gases, whether in the sunshine or in your stomach. If it is in the tub it doesn’t bother you much ; the poison spreads into the air. But if it is in your stomach. That is a different matter. Then it spreads all through your body; , your blood becomes corrupt, impure, 1 poisoned ; flows into every muscle, tissue, nerve and joint, and lays the seeds of 1 misery there. 1 Now what should you do ?It is simple —if you don’t know it, we will tell you. When you feel headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, bad taste in your mouth, pains or bloating in the stomach after eating ; when you have heartburn, with sour fluid or bilewater in your throat ‘ your eyes yellow, your skin muddy, a dull languid feeling, you don’t sleep well, you are constipated,- have dull aches in the chest, or back or loins, with twinges of rheumatism in your muscles and joints —when you have these, or any of them, your stomach needs help. Don’t let it struggle alone. Take Mother Seigel’s Syrup, a purely herbal remedy, made of the curative extracts of certain roots, barks and leaves, and designed expressly as a tonic corrective and invigorator for the stomach. By curing the Indigestion it relieves you of any or all of the symptoms or ailments we have described. “More than 8 years ago, 1 used Mother Seigel’s Syrup for Indigestion and no medicine could have acted better. After eating there was tightness and distress in the stomach, with pains under my ribs—l often felt seedy, out of sorts, unfit for work. Wiud and flatulence troubled me often, at night, and I bad headache and other disagreeable symptoms. A few bottles of Mother Seigel s Syrup quite cured me, and restored me to sound, vigorous good health.” From letter of Mr Robert Phoup, 182, Roma Street Brisbane, Q.
