ONLY A LITTLE AT A TIME.

j Thero are sound objections to one's knowing too much about his own body . I am going to tell you what they are ; not to duy f but soon. To make sure of thorn you will have to watch these articles sharply in the newspapers. Yet we should know a little ; and a fraction of that little I will serve up now. Pleaso favour me with your attention. Jiight across the middlo of the body is a thin flat muscle, stretched like a canvas awning—the diaphragm. By it you are divided into two largo storeys or compartments. Tho upper one contains the heart and lungs, tho lower one contains (chielly) the stomach, tho intestines, and the liver. Tho most painful (internal) diseases occur down stairs, tho least painful upstairs. The entire right side of tho lower compartment, from the ton down to tho short ribs, is filled by tho liver which is suspended to a mere point of the diaphragm and shakos about with every movement you make. Now, from tho location of the livor wo have a word used for agos to oxpress ouo of the most unhappy conditions a human being can fall into the word HYPOOHONDRa (often abbreviated to "hypo"), the word meaning UNDER Tire CARTRIDGES. " For seven years," writes a corresprndent, "I suffered from complaint of the livor. 1 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 be out of my power to take a hopeful or cheer, ful view of anything. The effect of this complaint on tho mind was one of the aspects of it hardest to bear. "I had lost my natural appetite, and ate to support life ; but there was no more any genuine relish for food or drink. The bad taste in my mouth made all that I took taste bad. Sometimes I would be taken sick and throw up all I had eaten ; and after a meal, no mattsr how slender and simple. I was troubled with I'ulness and pain at the chest. I used many kinds of medicines and while some of them may have relieved me for the moment, nono conferred any lasting benefit, and I was soon as bad as ever. " In March, 1802, I rend in a small book of what Mother SeigJ's Curative Syrup had doue in cases similar to mine, and was especially interested in the account y;iven in the book of the naturo and duties of the 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 left me in capital HEALTH Since that time I have 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 ailmsnts like the one from which I suffered so miserably and so long. You can use this statement as j'ou like. (Signed) John Gent, 59, Coventry Road, Bulwell, Nottingham, March 21st, 1895." "In tho spring of 1791," writes another, "I found myself in bad health. 1 had no appetite, and the little I did eat did me no good, gave me no strength. I had great pain and weight at the chest and right side, and my skin turned sallow and dry. My kid - neys 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 was grcat.y and ansious. No doctor was able to help me, and I continued thus for over three years. In June, 1894, I began to use Mother Seigel's Syrup and soon felt better, lighter, rnd 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 never fails to set me right. You can publish this letter. (Signed) C. Hanson, C, New Inn Lane. Gloucester, May 81st, 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 siyrns of anything wrong with them use Mother Seigel's S3'rup at onoe.
