THE MAN WHO KNOWS THE ROAD.
ITfi drives directly home. even in dark nights, does tlie mnn who knows tlie road. The over-banging gloom, Ilie deceptivo shadows, the uncertain sounds, don't bothrr liim. He can feel •" the ground under his waggon wheels, and the " lay of the land " is open to him as at clear noontide. It is the stranger in Miokp parts who is confused and befuddled, «ho knock* people up to ask questions, who finally lodges in the dirch. "Where to go, ;ind how to get there; [what to do. and how to do it—why, the man who known " that " comes jto the front everywhere and always. But the opposite—t.lie waste of time irioney. power, lion Ith &c M in blind pxncrimcnts, how disheartening and
disastrous it is! Take an illustration of this sort, and you will seo how it tits in a'minute.
" In spring of 1892," says a lady who lis-es down near the east *3oast, "I began to feel ill. I had a poor appetite, and alter every thing I ate, no matter how simple it was, I was seized with a gre it pain across the chest and round the sides. I was frequently sick, vomiting a sour, hitter fluid. I was almost afraid to eat and my food gave me no strength. In thu state I continued, now a bit better, and then worse till December, 189:5, when I became ill. I got so weak I could hardly bear the weight of my body on my feet. '.' I tried this and 1 trjed that—all kinds of medicines I heard of, hut none of tnem gave me any relief." " In January, 1894, I read a little book about the cures done by Mother SeigeL's Syrup. The book contained letters from all people who had been cured, some of whom had suffered like mo. I got a bottle from Miss Caroline Foster, gr.ocei and draper High Street, in this place. After taking it I was much better. I bad a new relish for food, nnd no distres* after eating. I continued takin"Mother SeigeL's Syrup and wr< soon free from all pain and sickness and fast gaining strength. Since then I have been ju the best of health, and needed no medicine. (Signed) Mrs Eleanor Clay, Messsingham. Brigg. Lines, April 30th, 18.95.'-' " In the early part of 1875,'' writes another, "my health began to fail me. I felt low and weak, and lost all power and disposition to exert m'vself. After every meal I had pain in the chest and all over me. I felt so tight around the wnist that if. seemed as though something was holding me. I was much troubled with a n"ckening wind coming up from my »tomneh ; nnd now and then I belched un a sour fluid that bit my throat nnd half choked me. Then, too, I had attacks ef spasms, which gave mo intense pain. I got about my work slowly and in much distress, and grew Gradually weaker and more despondent in mind. " I tried all the various medicines I could hear of that might possibly be good for me, hut none of them were of any avail.'-' " After five tedious year?, of suffering, my daughter, who is in service in London, wrote me of the benefit her mistress had derived from the use of Mother Seigel's Gnrntive Syrup when troubled much as I was. I replied, and my daughter sent me two bottles of the Syrup, and after taking it, I felt like a new woman. I had no rinin after eating, and was in natter health than I had been in since I was taken ill. From that time onwards my health ws good and if T ail anything temporarily, n« the best of us will, a few doses of Mother Seigel's Syrup put me right. I have told many persons of what this now celebrated remedy did for me, nnd am willing you should publish mv statement if you desire to do so. figned) (Mrs) Ann Knight, near the Church Fennv Compton, Leamington, September 27th, 1895."
By looking hack to the quoted words in these letters the reader will catch my point on the in°tant. Both these Indies, not knowing the true remedy for disenso (indigestion and dyspepsia"), hlindly experimented with anything the}' could get hold of. Under like circumstances w n nil do the spnie. When one doesn't know the road ho is almost certain to hluncUr and shjmhle; and he can't know until he learn? Now. in nil
ailments of the digestion, with the local symptoms which proceed from it, Mother Pyrup is, so to put it, the " right r ad." Follow it faithfully and you are fairly sure to bring up in the pleasant shelter of good health. Knowing this, direct your neighbours.
