PLUMP AGAINST A BIG FACT.

It is not properly any part of my business to enforce lessons in ethics ; therefore I commonly leave that responsib'e lush to tbof-e whose voca-< lion it in. Bui no man can continually ■write (.11 the Biilgi ct which constitutes ibe burden Of these essays without now ami then running plump against a mighty fact in moriils. If you will be good enough to read the following short letters 1 will then try to show why I v.as moved tu speak as I have spoken-. •' My daughter Annie Jane," writes thai young girls mother, " now five yei rs of age, wi r a fine healthy child up 1o March, 1891, when she began id sicken and fall away. .She had no appetite and every particle of food (die look came up. She lost strength inpidly and wiihin a fortnight she was thin a-a rake, being not much elsellian (■kin mid bone. For days and days slie laid in a half-conscious condition, scarcely moving hand or foot, and to ill appearance lifeless. I had a doctor attending her for four -weeks, and he said the child was suffering Irom indigestion, yet, so far as we could i-ce, his treatment had no ■ effect. My husband and I, and all

J who saw the poor baby, thought she was slowly dying, and we were almost heart broken at the thought of losiug her. " Nothing that we gave her did her the slightest good, and the child was fading away, when one day towards the end of April, a lady called, and after seeing Annie Jane advised us to use Mother Seigel's Syrup. She said she had known the livos of many children savod by this medicine who were down with the same complaint, 1 hurried to get a bottle from Mr Routly, chemist, in Susan's Road and began it in small doses. In less than twenty-four hours tho child began to eat, the sickness stopped, and we could t-eo a change for the better. We kept on giving the Syrup, aud in two weeks Annie was as well as ever and fast getting back her flesh. Since that time—now four years ago—she has never been ill. We consider that Mother Seigel's Syrup saved her life. You can publish this statement and refer anyone to me. (Signed) Alr.s Annio Alexander, 35, Melbourne Road, Eastbourne, August Ist 189-3." " My son Joseph," writes Mr Josoph Bond, of Salter's Green, Mayfield, Sussex, " was never strong. He did not come on like other children. Ho was weak, s.ckly, aud puny He ato but little, and was usually in pain until he vomited most of it up again. Nothing gave him strength. In February, 1894, his feet and ankles began to fester. Next three abscesses formed on his neck aud tinder tho chin, making deep holes, He was merely skia and bone. The accesses seemed to bo exhausting his life's blood. He was in a doctor's care five months, but got no better. From July (1894) ho had i'our mouths' treatment at the Tuubridge Wells Hospital, without bunt fit. The doctors gave him medicines and codliver oil, but nothing strengthened him.

" lii December (1894) I concluded to take the caso into my own hands, and gave liiui a medicine that had cured my wife —Mother Seigel's -Syrup. To our astonishment and delight he began to improve in a few days, lie could eat, and was stronger for it. We kept giving him the Syrup, and ho grew better every day. The abs« ces es .soon healed, and ho is now a lino healthy boy, nine years old, and strong for the first time ,-iuco ho was born. Publish this letter if you wish and refer inquirers to me. (Signed) Joseph Bond, July 2Gth, 1894."

What, now, is the mighty fact iu morals? Ask yourself the question. What justice ivas there in the suil'ering of these two littio children? For wiioso s;iko was it ? "Why do the majority of the human race die in infancy and childhood ? That bundle of laws and forces called " nature " lias no pity, no mercy. Obey and live ; disobey and perish, that's tho whole story. Then bow does Mother Seigel's .Syrup cure? It cures by bringing the ■diseased and sufforiug body back where nature's hand can reach it. It puts the derailed coach back on the aielals, it re-launches tho stranded ship. The radical trouble of both Annie Alexander and Joseph Bond wps of the digestion, tho first (a meie babythen) having been seized with acute indigestion, and tho boy having, as his father tells us, been born with a feebl- stomach. Hence, in his ca-e, tho bad blood and tho abscesses by which nature sought to remove it. Will parents take warning from these instances? I haps so. Watch tho little ones and use Mother Seigel's Syrup win never you see them inclined to droop or languish.
