THE GLORY OF MAN.

The crown and glory of manhood is strength—power. All human conquests have been won by it; individual and collective. The earliest sign of decay in man is not usually pain, but weakness of some kind—of mind or body, or both. This may be the inevitable seauence of advanced years, or it may, as we all know, show itself at any. period of life. But it always means that the sources of strength are failing, as the lessening of the water in a river means a drying up of the springs and streams which fed it. I said " sources " of strength, using the plural word. I should have said "source. " of strength, for in human beings there is but one. YY hat is it ? Ptsrhaps tfce experience of Mr David Jones will help us to an answer.

"In the summer of 1881," he says, " I began to feel ill and out of sorts. I was weak aud tired, and quite worn out with little exertion. I had a poer appetite, and after eating had pain and weight at the chest' My secretions were scanty and thick. My back felt stiff, and gave me mush pain as I moved about. For three years I suffered like this, being at times better and then worse. I consulted a doctor, who gave me medicines and recommended Turkish baths ; but I got no better for any kind of treatment.

"My brother then told me about Mother Seigel'B Curative Syrup, but I had no faith in advertised medicines. He, however, urged ine to take it, and after taking a few doses I experienced so much relief that I continued with it, and was soon strony and well as ever. Since that time I take a dose of this remedy when I teel at all ailing, and it sets me right. I have praised Mother Seigel's Syrup to all my triends, many of whom have tried it and been benefited by it. You can publish this statement as you like. (Signed) David Jones, 1, Dunluce Street, YVallon, Liverpool, July 31st 1896."

We have room for one more short letter before we try to come at the answer to the question with which we set out. It is exactly in the same line, and ought to make the results of our inquiry all the more clear and plain. "In the spring of 1888, " proceeds the writer, " my health began to fail me. I felt languid andj heavy, as if something had come over me. I had a bad taste in my mouth, my appetite was poor, and the little food I took gave me pain acrois the chest and between the shoulders. My food lay like lead on my stomach. I was constantly spitting up a thick phlegm, and when in bed heavy sweats came over me. I got weaker aad weaker, and from time to time was confined to the bed. Often I was so bai I could not dress or undress myself. " Now better, now worse, but never well, I suffered for over five years. I took different kinds of medicines, and had a doctor, but got no real beuefit from anything' "In July, 1893, a book was left at my house in which I read of cases like mine having been cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I got a bottle from the International Tea Company, Yeovil, and began taking it. In a shore time I felt much benefit, and, by continuing with it gained strength. I could eat better, food agreed with me and by-and-by I was strong and well. But for Mother Seigel's Syrup 1 believe I should noi now b« alive. You are at liberty to publish this statement. (Signed) (Mrs) Jane Crouch, 82, Huish, Yeovil, November 29th, 1895."

What, then, do the cases show to be this source oj strength ? The answer is Digested Food. That and nothing else. All strenth, of body or of mind, comes from that, and that only. What, then, is the great enemy of strength, the fountain of weakness ? Indigestion—dyspepsia. You see why and how. A child could not miss the argument. What, then, restores strength ? Mother Seigel's Syrup. In what way ? By setting the digestive machinery in healthy operation. That is what it did for our correspondents and does daily for multitudes. Use it if you need it, and pass the news to other weak ones.
