PUBUO NOTICES. IT IS EASY TO ASK QUESTIONS. * CHILD ?an ask questions that a wise some question* that the ablest doctors don't like to have petipV. ask them. Say a question of this sort whii:* we are about it, however, we might as welHeK the story straight away and have done with it. Mrs Sarah ;'*■ very ill with influenza. That was in . , -.r v. 1892, the time of the epidemic. The was severe, She was suddenly seized with a violent pain in the head, both front and temples. She had pain in all her joir'7 too, and was hot and feverish. She went to bed and sent for the doctor. He came, examined her, took her temperature—over 100deg~and said very little like a wise man. The lady could not turn herself in bed. She lived on Bops, such as milk and broth; she could not swallow a morsel ot solid food. Her husband pressed her to take strong food, saying : "If you don't eat ycu will starve." Eight enough; but he forgot that when one can't eat he can't eat, and there's an end. "Well she got weaker and weaker, and fell away until there wasn't much left of her but skin and bone. Then, in her anxiety, she put her question: "Doctor, do you think I shall get well?" The doctor's answer was true and honest; we like and respect him for it. He said: "Mrs Maoo, I do .mot know." He couldn't tell. Neither other doctor; no, not even if he had a strirg of titles to his name as long as a kite's tail. But did she get well 1 Wait a bit. We must hark back a minute now. Along about the 10th of March, 1880, Mrs Mace began to feel tired, languid, and weary, as if her work were too much for her, she said. She had bad taste in the mouth, poor appetite, and whatever she ate gave her pain at the chest and heart. "I had, she continues, "a dull, heavy pain at the right side, and between the shoulders, and a sinking feeling at the pit of the stomach, and a rising of foul gas in my throat. Later on I had rheumatic pains in my heart, chest, and back. I sent for a doctor, who attended me for six weeks, but I got worse. One day the cook said : ' Why don't you try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup ?'—this being a medicine my mistress (I was living with a lady in Camden Town) kept in the house for family use. I did so, and was soon as strong as over." • Years fled away, and in 1891 she had the first attack of influenza, and in 1892 the second, already described in part. We now complete the account of the 1892 attack. Mrs Mace says: "The doctor continued to attend mo for five weeks, and I took his medicines for that time, but gained no ttrength. After having suffered for seven weeks I said to my husband: 'I will now see what Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup will do for me. Perhaps it may cure influenza as well as other ailments.' I carried out this resolution, began taking the Syrup, and was soon on my feet again, and have since kept in excellent health, taking an occasional dose when needed. (Signed) Sakah Mack, Monk's Farm, Great Warlcy, Brentwood, Essex. August 27th, 1892." Now we have never advertised Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup as a remedy for influenza. Yet the facts stated by Mrs Mace cannot bo disputed. What is the conclusion? A very simple one indeed. • She did not have intlnonza until hlr system had been debilitated by indigestion and dyspepsia. It is such people generally (almost wholly) that all epidemic diseases attack. The dreaded cholera scarcely ever touches anybody except a dyspepticcholera is a-jnialady of the bowels only. The more we hear of disease the more the proof piles up, showing that persons with a sound digestion are safe against dying of anything except violence or o d age. The Syrup cured Mrs Mace's influenza by taking awav the ground it stood on —the torpidity of her digestion. She once asked: " Doctor, do you think I shall get well ?" Time and Mother Seigel have said "Yes." (No License), PRINCES AND JETTY STREETS. WEDNESDAY, From 12 till 2, DINNER OF THREE COURSES, Including— ROAST LAMB AND NEW POTATOES.
