YOU MUST HA VE A GOOD STOVE.

You can't have a fire without burning some kind of fuel. You agree to this ? Why, of course. Well, now suppose you had bought a stove in which no fuel whatever would burn what would you do? Throw it back on th« dealer's hand and get another ? To be sure. Now, fancy you had But let us have the story first and. draw the conclusion afterwards.

A woman tells this bit of experience :— " It was in 1882," she s*ys, " when I began to feel ill and oat of sorts. I did not know what was the matter with me. In the morning I was tired and languid, and was constantly spitting and belching up a clear fluid like water. My appetite gradually left me, and I had great pain after every morsel I ate.. 1 had great pain at the chest, which at times seemed to strike through to the back and shoulders. I lost a good deal of sleep at night, owing to spasms and to wind that appeared to gather in my sides. No food, however simple, agreed with me. For three years I suffered like this, and could take no solid food, such as a meat dinner. " Now, as I had always been of an active disposition, I strove hard to do my work and attend to my shop, but in April, 1885,1 got. so bad that I sent for my daughter, who was living at Priest Hutton, near Carnforth, and she returned home. Whilst away she had been under a doctor for weakness and neuralgia, but getting no better she had been recommended to take a medicine called* Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and this cured her; so she insisted upon my taking the same medicine. I got a bottle from Messrs. Needham Bros., chemists, Brighouse, and began to take it. In a day or two I found relief. Soon all my pains left me, and I gradually gained strength. I could eat my food, and after having used two bottles I found myself completely cured. "I have recommended this , medicine to many of my friends and customers who come to my shop, and it done thorn good ;so I think it right that its virtues should be made as widely known as possible. (Signed)" Mrs. Collinge, grocer, Rastrick, Brighouse, near Halifax." Another woman says :— In December 1885, after my confinement, I began to have a' poor appetite and much pain and sickness after eating. My food seemed to turn to wind, and I suffered from fulness in the chest and pain in the stomach. I gradually lost my strength, and fell into a low, desponding state of mind. " However light, food I took I had pain, so that I became afraid to eat. I lost a deal of sleep, and got so weak I w*s frequently obliged to lie down on the couch and rest. At times the pain was almost more than I could bear, and I had to go to bed ami have hot salt applied to my chest and stomach, for when these attacks came on felt as if I was dying. The doctor who attended me said I was suffering from chronic indigestion, and that something was wrong with the " upper stomach." What a strange statement for a doctor to make ! He did all he could to relieve me, but without success, and I lingered on in this way for twelve months. About this time Mr. Connor, stevedore, living at Denui-son-street, told my father of the great benefit he had derived from taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I sent at once and got a bottle, and after taking three bottles all, pain left me. I got strong and could eat anything, and from that time to this I have never been ill. I keep the medicine in the house, and if any of the family ail anything a dose or two of Mother Seigel's Syrup sets them right.

The human stomach is a stove, and food is the fuel we put into it. If the food is consumed, or digested, the body is nourished and built up, and we enjoy health and strength; but if otherwise we quickly waste away and perish. Now, when the stomach refuses to digest, burn or consame food, we have what is called indigestion and dyspepsia, the most common and dangerous of all diseases. This is what ailed these two women, and what ails millions more in this country. The conclusion is plain enough : —The remedy which cured them will cure others. Then (the fire burning well\ we shall have hear, which is life and power.
