IT’S BETTER TO WORK THAN RUST!

Some time ago, a thoughtless young lady made a wager of £3,000 that she would not speak for a whole year. Cynical married men said that a whole hour would be a long time—for some women; but nevertheless, the young woman won the wager. At the year's end, however, the silly woman’s joy at winning so much money was turned to abiding sorrow. She had lost for ever the power of speech. Providence intended that very organ, muscle, nerve, of our bod ies should be used to minister to our comfort and well-being, and if not used, its power is soon lost. For instance, the athletic man who enters upon sedentary occupation ; the active schoolgirl who becomes a sempstress; the pensioner who lays aside his work to seek , his well-earned rest, and thousands of other people, come suddenly face to face with the dangers of an inactive life. The digestive organs then get no natural stimulation. As a result, the liver grows lazy, the bowels become costive, the stomach shirks its duty., aud soon these organs lose their power to work. Indigestion, biliousness, constipation and other troubles follow, unless the digestive system is quickly toned, strengthened, and stimulated to healthy, normal activity—restored to perfect working order. Mother Seigel’s Syrup —the purely vegetable, digestive tonic —• braces up the digestive system, enables it to do its work, makes food nourish you and thus restores health. Here is a proof of what we say iu the words of Mr Fred W. Lowndes, of 164, Roma Street, Brisbane, Queensland, a well-known figure in amateur athletic circles. Mr Lowndes has, as the saying goes, won enough medals and trophies “ to stock a shop.’’ On August 6th, 1909, Mr Lowndes wrote saying : •• I used to be as hard as nails, strong as a lion ; in fact, as physically perfect as a man could be. Then, over seven years back, I began busi-. ness as a hairdresser and tobacconist and had to give up athletic pursuits. The sedentary nature of my new occupation had a disastrous effect upon my health. I began to suffer cruelly from indigestion. I had always a feeling of oppression and discomfort after eating, with sharp, stabbing pains between the shoulders, and frequent attacks of giddiness and flatulence. I grew worse until, four years ago, I was so weak, run down and ill that only by great effort was I able to keep -on my feet. I lost interest in everything and became cross and irritable. I had medical advice aud treatment, but nothing did me good. Then a customer told me of Mother Soigcl’s Syrup aud I got a bottle. In a week I was feeling stronger, brighter and more cheerful than I bad been for months, aud after the third bottle I was ' completely cured. I have remained in the best of health right down to the present moment.” Mother Seigel’s Syrup stimulated Mr Lowndes’ digestive system. Thus it cured him of digestive troubles once for all. If you suffer as he did, it will cure you too, quickly and permanently. Mother Seigel’s Syrup has cured so many people of stomach and liver disorders that you may be quite sure it will not fail you. Put it to the proof.
