HOW A LOT OF MONEY-LEAKS OUT. WHAT does a man do when he finds a hole in the pocket where he carries his money ? anybody can answer that question. Ho has it sewed up, of course, directly, anti good and strong, too. I suppose it is witli you just as it is witli 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. But Ido mortally hate to lose money; lose it out and out, you know, and have no satisfaction from it, or know how or when it left ray possession. Well now, let me show you the worst and biggest hole any man ever had in his pocket; a hole that lets the cash leak away like water through a sieve, a hole that is tho hardest in the world to sew up. A shoi t story will show it best. “Drummore South Cottage, IN THK “Musselburgh, near Edinburgh, ‘' September 16th, 1891.

“ Gentlemen,—lip to 1885 I was always strong and healthy. About thi time I began to feel bad. I was tired, languid, dull, and listless, and everything was a burden to me. I had no desire for company, and what had come over me 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 discolored and my skin was yellow. I had no appetite, and after eating I had great 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-bye I got so weak that I 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 ray stomach and hold my sides to try and ease the pain. Getting worse, I saw a doctor at Musselburgh, and was under him for three months, but his medicine gave me no relief. After this I went to a clever doctor at Preston Pans, who said I was suffering from indigestion and dyspepsia. He sent to London for some celebrated medicine which was packed in small phials. This medicine seemed to dissolve my food, and I felt easier for a time; but I gained no strength or real benefit, and after persevering with nis treatment for six months I gave it up and fell into my old state. I next went to a doctor at Musselbuigh, 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 spent a deal of money and taken so much medicine ‘ that I lost all my teeth through it,’ and was no better for it. In great misery I lingered on month after month, always ailing, when in August of last year (1890) my husband called at Mr Jack’s Drug Stores, High street, Fisherrow, and told him what my condition was. Mr Jack gave him an account of the wonderful cures ho heard of from many of his customers that had taken a medicine called Seigel’s Syrup, and strongly recommended him to bring me a bottle. He did so, and I commenced taking the Syrup, and I found some relief from the first bottle, and by the time I had taken four bottles 1 was as well and strong as ever I was in my life, and have since kept in good health. I tell everyone what Soigel’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 can use this letter as you like. —Yours truly, (Signed) Jemima Watson.” Look back to about the middle of the above letter and again read what the writer savs: “ I had spent a deal of money for medicine.” Yes, and money she could poorly afford to spare. Illness and the expense of illness is the great hole in the pocket that I alluded to. It 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 ends. “ Yes,” you say, “ but how can we keep from falling 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.
