YOUTH AND OLD AGE.

A' child rises unharmed from a, tnmblo tbat would break tha bones of a grown person. Why* Because after middle- ago we change fast from indiarubber into baked clay. Wherever tho blood flows It deposits earthy matter, which clogs the heart and arteries and impedes the circulation. Not only this, it interferes ■with the nutrition, or repairing; of the machine. Most people past sixty suffer more or leis from this trouble. *& or, you jaust see, as tho blood is produced by the food we, eat,, the very things which we meant to keep us ( alive ana nourish W, do, under these circumstances, block Up the system and cause the condition lift call old age. Eminent authorities claim that if the nutrition were not interfered with, life might be prolonged indefinitely. That is probably true, and proves of what great consequence it is to do all wo can to .preserve the digestive process in good order. For nearly all the complaints from which we suffer arise from our failure to achieve tbat. Let us consider the case of Mrs. Margaret M'Caltum, of Devon-place, Pickettgtreet, Footscray, Melbourne. Writing on 16th December, 1903, Mrs. M'Oallum gays: — "For many years my life was rendered miserable by chronic indigestion and pervous debility. .1 don't think Ib possible that any ono could have suffered more from those complaints than I did. I dreaded to cat because of the attacks of vomiting it occasioned, and I wan quite worn out for want of sleep Distracting headaches, as wciV as pains In every part of* my body, kept me in almost constant torture. Doctors failed to afford me tho slightest relief, and I tried evory patent medicine I could obtain. But it was all to no purpose. My condition grew worse daily, untjl I feared that I was a confirmed sufferer for the rest of my days. Such was my frame of mind when a friend, after irmch persuation, induced me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup. I agreed to do so unwillingly, having been so often disappointed by other medicines. But I had not taken Mother Seigel's Syrup Jong before my opinion completely changed. I was able jo eat and sleep. The headaches and nervousness disappeared, and my condition improved in evory way. Soon I was completely restored to health; and it is not too much to say that Mother Seigel'a Syrup made a new woman of me," As the water pipes which supply the houses in cities, as well as the drains which carry off the waste stuff, often become cloggea, so dv tht p»as!.ges t,i the human body. Unless sucb obstructions are removed, disease, perhaps death, will follow. Keep the stomach and liver ae<jv{>, and the blood pure, by Mother Beigel's Synip, and tjiero need be no fear vt either calamity.

To Obscnre Windows. — If you want to shut off tbe Tiew from any window yon can do it very cheaply by dissolving in a little hot water as much Epsom •altA ns the water will absorb. Paint over tho window while hot, nnd when dry you will have a very good imitation of ground glass.
