HIS LEGACY.

(Statement oe a British Phvs cianA “ The only thing I inherited from my parants,” said a young fellow to me the other day, “ were poverty and a. weak sttnnach.”

The statement is suggestive. His poverty came with his bad digestion, and remained because of it, for he grew to be a chronic dyspeptic, lacking the ambition so necessary to win a living against the competition of the healthy and strong.”

“ During the whole of my professional career,” says one of the most successful physicians in England, “ I have been telling my patients that, so far as physical weakness and disease is the cause of failures in life, the responsible ailment in nine cases out of ten is digestive weakness.”

* The doctor is right; and fortunately some good work is going on in that dtreclion, as the following case well proves.

When Mrs Fitton’s health failed and she becama.alanningly ill, her medical advisers told her that she was suffering from general debility and indigestion. Tbe information was doubtless correct i but it would, have been better if Mrs h itton’s informants had not put the cart before tbe horse, but said, “indigestion and general debility ’’—for of course, the general debility was only a result of the indigestion.

“ For eighteen months,” says Mrs Filton, “I was under snedical treatment ; but I grew weaker all the time, ami was far worse at the end than at tire beginning of,that period. I could

not digest, and \<’as so weak from want of nourishment and sleep that my housework became a burden too hard for me to bear. Headaches, too, and pains in various parts of my body, troubled me greatly, so that my condition was pitiable. “A friend’s advice that I should try Mother Scigel’s Syrup was not given a moment to soon. After taking that remedy for five days, I was somewhat relieved. The tightness at my chest which had been almost unbearable, eased somewhat, and there was no pain after eating. Each bottle of the Syrup marked a long step forwaid in my march toward complete recoverj’, for which ten bottles , proved sufficient. That was in 1898,’and I have since continued in the enjoyment of per cct health, recommending Mother SeigclV Syrnp to every sufferer from Indigestion who comes in my way.’'—(Signc.l) Lucy Fitton, 4, Ryder Stre et, Surray Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March 10111 1908. The lesson of Mrs Fitton’s experience is this: you must eat to live—you cannot doubt that and jour strength and energy depend upon the way in which your stomach deals with the (ood yon eat.. It must he properly digested, so as (o give yon the nourishment it contains. The moie thoroughly this is done, the belter will bo your health of both mind and body. Never neglect the first signs of indigestion ; if you do. ' a cure will be more difficult. Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the famous herbal remedy for all stomach and liver disorders, is composed ot roots, leaves, 1 and barks, of great .medeinal value, and may be relied upon to cure indigestion, | headache, wind, constipation, and loss of appetite.
