I NATURE'S DANGER,SIGNALS. Keep your eyo open fordanger. signals— especially those that threaten your health, if people would only do this, tlio diseases that afflict the world would bo reduced by one-half, ' Illness comes on without giving somo ■warning, You may be struck' down, cut when you think it over, you will generally bo able to remember that you had some signs oi the trouble beforehand, only you " thought nothing

For example, when you lose the sharp appotite' for food; when you feel dull and sluggish; when your ordmury work or duties seem to /require more than ordinary exertion; when you are more tired than usual; when you are constipated, have little dull headaches, and your mouth is scummy "those and other like signs show, unmistakably, that your physical maciiinccy is not in good order. That is the time for doing sometiling to ward 08 an attack of real illness. Your stomach is out of order, and it will be easier to reotify it now than it will bo later on. Your trouble is incipient indigestion, tlie complaint wluen Mother SeigelSs Syrup always checks aud cures, and which it also actually prevents-as thousands of people know from tlioir own cxporiunco, Aud don't forgot that it is easier to conquer indigestion in its earlier stages than whon it has becomo chronic,

Mother Seigol's Syrup so acts upon tho stomach, liver and bowels, that indigestion is impossible. A purely herbal remedy, containing no mineral drugs it purifies the blood, strengthens tho digestive organs and tones up the' system generally, Mr Thomas Butler, 41, Flora street, Erskinevillo, Now South Wales, writes i " I can conscientiously testify to the wonderful efficacy of Mother Seigel's Syrup in tho treatment of severe indigestion and stomach.cramp. For several years I was a victim of thoso terrible complaints, and what I suffered is moro than I can describo. The crump seizures used to causo me frightful agony. While they lasted I was bent almost doublo, and half out of .my mind with pain. I could hardly bring myself to cat at all, aud when 1 did the food only caused suffering and did mo no good, I wasted away to a mero framo of skin and bono, so weak that I could hardly crawl about, I dared not venture out of iloora for fear I should collapse. "All this time I had been taking medicine, endless medieino, but it was to no purpose. I only got worse. But at last a change camo, I chanced to read about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and got some. It relieved mo almost from tho first dose, and by tho timo I had finished two bottles I was free from tho awful stomach cramp. I continued using tho. Syrup/gaining health and strength daily, and tho result was a complete and thorough cure, At the present time—March 9th, 190S—I am in excellent health."

.'here is no form of indigestion or biliousness that will not yield to Mother Seigel'a Syrup.
