You Must Have a Good Stove.
You can't have a fire without burning Bocue kind of fuel.' You agree to this P y? hy , of course. L Well, now suppose you had bought a stove in which no fuel whatever would burn, what would you d<s Throw it back on the dealer's hands and get another ; To be sure. Now, fancy you had But let ub have the story first and draw tne conclusion afterwards.
A "oman tolls this bit of experience: — " It was in 1882," she says, "when I beu.m to feel ill and out of sorts. I did nut know what was the matter with me. 11)1 1) tbe morning I was tired and languid, ;md was constantly spitting and belching up »> clear fluid like water. My appetite gradually left me, and I had great pain »t the chest, which at times seemed to Btn ke tbr- ugh to the back and shoulders. I 1 >8t a gieat deal of sleep at night, owiug to spasms and to wind that appeared to gather in my Bideß. No food, however simple, agreed with me. For 1 hree years I suffered like this, and could tako no solid food, tench as a meat dinner.
"Now, as I had always been of an active disposition, I strove hard to do my work and attend to my shop, but in April, 1885, 1 got bo bad that I sent for my daughter, who waa -living at Priest Hutton, near Carnforth, and she returned home. WhiUt away she had been under a doctor for weakness and neuralgia, but getting no better she bad been recommended to take a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and tbis cured her; so she insisted upon my taking the same medicine. I got a b ttle from Messrs. Needbam Bros., chemists, Brighouse, and begas to take i ' In a day or two I found relief. Soon Mil my pains left me, and I gradnallj uuiaed strength. I conld eat my food, h:.'l after having used two bottles I J ,und myself completely enred. '•I have recommended this medicine 1 > many of my friends and customers wlocome to my shop, and it-baedone tin m good: so I think it right that its vntueß should be made as widely known h« oossible."
(Tigned) Mrs. Collinge, grocer, Rastriok, Brighouse, near Halifax. Another woman says : — In December, 1385, after my confinement, .1 began to have a poor appetite and much pain and sickness after eating. My food seemed to turn to wind, and I suffered from fullness in tbe chest and pain 10 the stomach. I gradually lost my strength, and fell into a low, desponding state of mind. However light food I took I bad pain, bo tbat I became afraid to eat. I lost a deal of sleep, and got so weak I was frequently obliged to lie down on the coach and rest. At times the pa ; n was n "iosb more fhan I could bear, and I had t .;o to bed and have hot salt applied to tuy chest and stomach, for when these h fucks came on I felt as if I was dying. T'io doctor who attended me said I was suffering from Ohronio Indigestion, and that something was wrong with the "upper stomach." What a strange statement for a doctor to make ; He did all be could to relieve me, but without success, and I lingered on in this way for twelve months. About this time Mr. Connor, Stevedore, living at Dennison Street, told my father of the great benefit he bad derived from taking Mother Sufi's Syrup, andl sent at once and g. 1 a bottle, and after taking three but ties all pain left me. I got strong and could eat anything, and from tbat time to this I have never been ill. I keep the medicine in. the house, and if any of the family ail anything a dose or two of Mother Seigel's Syrup Bets them right.

We said you cannot Lave a fire without burning some kind of fnel. The human stomach is a stove, and food is the fuel we put into it. If the food is consumed, or digested, the body is nourished and bailfc up, and we enjoy health and strength; but if otherwise we quickly waste away and perish. Now, when the stumach refuses to digest, burn or consame food, we have what is called indigestion and dyspepsia, the most common and dangerous of all diseases. This is what ailed these two women, and what ailft millions more in this country. The 0 inclusion is plain enough .—The remedy which cured them will cure others. Then (then the fire burning well) we shall bavu beat, which is life and power.
