THE POWER THAT PULLS DOWN.

I want to present a single idea in the fowest and clearest words at my command. Hero goes for a try at it. From the time yon are first able to stand on your feet, up to the time you can stand no longer, there is always a power pulling you backward and downward . a7ou resist and it persi.-ts. It wins partial victories over you every day, and finally it lays you by the heels. JNow, what is the name of that power ? Don't be too quick with your answer. It is the over - confident cricketer who wets bowled out. Perhaps the reading of these letters may help you. "In the spring of 1891," says n woman, "my health, previously good, began to fail. I uui na'uruily as energeticas most persons and enjoy being up and doing, but now for some re son I felt low, weak, and tired. J had no relish for food of any kind, and what I ate gave me pain at the che-t and r feeling of tightness and oppression around the waist, with shortness of breath.

"After a time the pains went to my shoulders and all over me. The distre-s after eating was so gre ic tit il I hesitated before swallowing a mouthful, well knowing what the result would be. I took many medicines, but none of them gave me any ease- As time went on I became weaker and weaker, often leaving my household work for a bit so us to lie down on the couch and rest. And as tliis debility increased upon me my spells of work got shorter, and my spells of rest longer. "Sometimes feeling a trifle better and then again worse, this was practically my condition month after month. I saw a doctor, but his. medicines did me little or no good. He said I was suffering from weakness, and would have to get my strength back gradually. The autumn and winter of 1891-2 slowly pn-sed and 1 was about the same, only more thin and feeble. 1 had almost given up hope of getting really well again. " In April (1892) I was in our shop one day and hoard a customer speak about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and what remarkable cures of different ailments it had done in the district. ' It. may be the right thing for me,' I said, and sent for it that very day. After taking one bottle I could eat better, without any distres.? or pain to come after it. With the ad ditional food I gained strength, and one week after another, while keeping on with Mother Seigel's \vrim, 1 found myself able to do more work and needing less rest between times. I took only the Seigel's;' no other medicine. I could stand and walk ones more without thinking about it and was soon in as geod health and spirits as ever. You are free to print my letter if you desire. (Signed) Mrs EmmaCottingham. wife of G. W. Ooftingham, Grocer and ironmonger. Scotter, Lincoln, April 29th. 1895." "For over four years," says another, '' 1 suffered from const mt weakness. My natural strength was ' gone, and nothing I did or took seemed to bring it back. My food—and I ate but little, having no appetite—did not "O to the riHit as we "snv. T was none the better or stronger for eating if Indeed I was the worse; for it caused me great pain and distress in the stomach, chest, sides, and back. I was working in the mill and never quite gave up my employment ; but I did my work in face of pain and weakness. "Finally I was cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I heard of it by means of a little book. The Syrup stopped the pain after eating, and soon I was another and a brighter woman. My strength came back, and lean walk, stond. and work with ea6e. (Signed) Mrs. Elizabeth, Jacksou, Silk J-tryct, Glosson, October 10th, 189;>." Now what was the power that pulled the-« women down ? " Weakness," you say, avid they say " weakness." But what in weakpess ? It is a disease ?• No, old t.'ge always brings it, and it is always one g! the results ofdisease. - Strength, the opposite of weakness, is created only by digested food. Nothing else under the sun will produce it. Lose the ability to digest your food and soon your legs tremble beneath y. ; u, your Sogers k<se their grip, your head its steadiI '.isiss, 2nd your mini its clearness and I courage. . word ' weakness, "

comes from a Saxon Word meaning to yield, to fail, to give waj". By its wondrous virtue in correcting the machinery of digestion :md enabling the systora to get " the good " of its daily food—by this I say, Mother Seieel's Svrup, used in time, overcomes weakness and reouoreo faliengtn. But, mark you ] there is a mystery in this simple explanation, no deep we must reserve the discussion of it for another occasion.
