“ WHY MB NEVER LOOKED BEHIND umr “ After this I never looked behind .me This is a very common, expression. What do people mean by it ? Lot’s 'Wife looked behind her and was changed into a pillar of salt. A locomotive driver • in- -America looked behind him one day last summer and so didn’t, see .an,open drawbridge in front of him. Hence a wreck and great loss of life. A man in. London failed to look behind Him ahd waa fun'down by a hansom. What shall we do as a rule? ■took" behind us or not ? ■" " Weintroducea man who says "he-never looked behind him—after a certain time. How are "we to take Ms meaning f Why, by letting him explain.it.. ..... ; He goes’ oh to say"thatln bneTday in February, 1890, he was suddenly seized with dizziness and pain in his head. Like all healthy people, under similar circum* stances, he didn’t know what to make of it. He says he felt strange and queer, he shivered as though the weather had suddenly turned cold, and then flushed with the heat as though it had turned hot again. What ailed him ? His doctor said ho was .attacked with influenza, and ordered him to .bed. He went to bed. A few days later the fever left him, but the illness did not. It merely assumed another form.' His tongue looked like a piece of brown leather, and hio skin, and the whites of his eyes, became yellow, like old parchment. We must all eat to live, but when this man tried- to eat the food went against him, and after, he had swallowed it by main force it'caused such pain in the chest, Side and stomach that he wished he had let it alone. Then his heart began to palpitate, and he says he felt low, languid and tired. He had what he Calls a sinking feeling at the pit of the stomach and a craving which nothing satisfied. Being unable to take any but liquidfobd he grew so weak that he was barely able to walk. Then his heart troubled him once more, and, to quote his own words, “As I sat in my chair I could hear my heart thumping as if somebody was poundiiig me on the back." This showed that the heart had too much work on hand, and was straggling under it like a horse trying to carry two men. ** I got very little sleep at night,” he says, >r and. would lie . awake for hours tossing about on the bed.” This sort of thing is very wearing, and we are not-sur-prised to learn that he lost flesh until little was left of him but skin and bone. •• My cheeks,” be says, “ sank in until they were almost drawn..together, and people shook their heads, and predicted that my time in this world was nearly up. ' Still I had all confidence in my physician, and kept on taking his medicine. From first to last I took'some forty or fifty bottles of it (of all binds) without benefit. “ Finally one day tbs doctor sounded my lungs and asked me if any of our family j died of consumption. He said that the heart palpitation was caused by dyspepsia. Then he said I had better take further advice; be could do no more for me. This was after nine months of'his treat* meat. 1 gave up all hopes of getting better, and, indeed, no one expected me to. “It was now winter again, December, 1890. One day I found a little book or pamphlet in the house, that I had never seen before. It was about a medicine called Mother Siegel’s Syrup, and described a case like mine having been cured by it. Without going into all my hopes and fears on the point, it is enough to say that I got a bottle from Mr Kirkman, chemist, Ellerby Lsne. 1 took the contents of that bottle and certainly felt a little better. I took a second and began to eat solid food, which agreed with me. “ After this 1 never looked behind' met though my recovery was a work of time, for I was very much reduced. 1 stuck to the medicine, and with good reason, and at last got back to my work, strong land well, and have remained so ever since. When I went back to the works the foreman and others-gathered round, mo and asked what Had wrought the wonderful change. I answered, "Mother Seigel’a Syrup had wrought it.” When I said I wished to start work they-tbld the I- most first bejaxamined by.a doctor*. The dpflfe* said I waa fit for work,and X went-ta.work the next morning.and have sever lost a miante since. ... • ~.v ,*f I wish others Syrup has done for tne, and l give' the pro*' prietora permission to’ publish-, this brief account of my case. lam a -cloth presses by ’ trade, and have worked at Messrs Hepworth and Sons, Olay Pit Lane, for four years.” Harvey Askew, 2, Back limber Place, Ellerby Lane, Leeds.. The doctor was right in sayiag-thnt the apparent heart troublein Mr Askew’s case arose from dyspepsia, for dyspepsia wt* his only ailment. And if he hod used Mother,Seigel’s Syrup in February, 1890, be would have bad no tale to, tell,- for he would have been all right directly. As it is we are glad that after he did try it he had no relapse. He never looked behind him. • SEIGEL’S SYEUP. . SEIGBL’S SYRUP. SEIGEL’S SYEUP. SEIGEL’S STEUP.' * ’ " * ’ V SEIGEL’S SYEUP.
