THEORY OF THE FLAMING SWORD.

“Ah, talk of blessings! What a blessing is digestion! To digest. Do you know what it means? It is to have the son always shining and the shade always ready for you. It is to be met by smiles and greeted with kisses. It is to hear sweet sounds, to sleep with pleasant dreams, to be touched ever by gentle, soft, cool hands. It is to bo in Paradise.

“There came a great indigestion upon the earth and it was called a deluge. All the evil comes from this. Macbeth coull not sleep; it was the slipper, not the murder. His wife talked and talked; it was the supper again. Milton had a bad digestion, and Carlyle must have had vhe worst digestion in the world. Ah! to digest is to be happy!” There! How does that strike you for burst of eloquence? I quote from Trollope. If there is anything wrong abort the theology you must hold him respoi sible. As for its physiology and pathology, (pardon all these “ologies”) I can answ-jr for the correctness of these two. And so can millions of people besides me. Thiy speak of the curse of indigestion continually in every language; they grown and writhe under it in every land and climate.

“For many years,” says one of ihis innumerable army of martyrs, “ I was obliged to bear as best I could the torments of indigestion. My appetite was practically destroyed. I ate, of course, because one must eat' or die! but after meals I had great pain at the chest and around the sides. Sleep almost forsook my pillow, and naturally I was tired and exhausted.. Sometimes better and then worse, but never free from pain and ilness, I L'vel on with little or no hope of getting well It is hardly necessary to say that I had medical treatment, yet no real benefit resulted from it. Happily at this tins Mother Seigel’s syrup was brought to my notice, and so strongly commended that I laid aside other medicines, which were doing me no good, and began using this one only. “In a short time I realised a great improvement ; food agreed with me and gained strength. A little later—continuing to take the Syrup regularly as directed —the pains at the stomach, sides ant chest wholly ceased, and I have not IcW them since. My indigestion was cured «t last, and I enjoyed the blessing of health.. Mv son, who suffered severely from rheu matism, has been relieved by Motinr Seigel’s Syrup as by nothing else he ever tried In gratitude I give you full permission to publish my letter should yoa desire.” (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Barker Field Lane, Branghing, Ware, Herts, Oct. 7th.1898. It was a fortunate circumstance for Mrs Sarah Cell, of Melchbourne, Bedfordshire, that one day she had a personal talk with Mr Smith, the butcher at Eushden. Ho told the lady that in his opinion if she went on suffering from indigestion and asthma (one of its consequences) world because she neglected to use Mother Seigel’s Syrup. “ And,” s»d Mr Snutn, “ I speak from knowledge. She had been ill with this abominable ailment for many years, and had spent time and money unavailing efforts to obtain relief. Acting on Mr Smith s advice, Mrs Gell be (ran using this remedy at once, and tei.s the outcome in a letter of which we have room for the conclusion only: “I was better almost immediately, and was soon as . well and healthy as on c OU I<J wish to me. Now I keep Mother Seize! ’ in the house, and it never fails in heln us when needed for any passm complaint. (Signed) Sarah Gell, Oct. sth, ■ 1898. Judging from the force of his comment on the disease, I should say Mr Trollope knew something about indigestion experience. Most literary people do. I’o them, and to all other victims, 1 cou3dently commend the best remedy yet found—Mother Seigel s S 3 nip.
