FARMER OAK AND THE STORM.

When Farmer Oak, on his way towards his humble cottage one night, struck his foot against a big toad ho know there was trouble in the wind. When, on striking a light in- ; doors, he observed a thin, glistening streak across his table, which terminated in a large brown garden slug, ho knew again that tho Groat Mother was warning him. And when, last of all, two black spiders dropped from thc thatched roof of his cottage to find' a ) safer home on the floor he sat down and j meditated how the coming great thunderstorm would affect the wheat ricks and barley stacks, and what might be saved. There aro signs which are as unmistakable in their significance as the turned thumbs of tho Romans in tho days of the amphitheatre. In the case of Mrs. Green, where - first one symptom disappeared after a dose . or two of Seigel's syrup, and then another, [ this lady ' knew that the Syrup was on the way to cure her as surely as she lived. "As I suffered for about three years from 1 most acute indigestion," she writes, "it ' gives me great pleasure to testify to the * complete euro which a small - quantity of ) Seigel's Curative Syrup affected in my case,; 1 after several medical men had prescribed > for 1110 in vain. . , : '' From 1897 until about two months ago > (the date of Mrs. Green's letter is Decern--. l her 3, 1900) I endured a continual agony-of 1 sleepless nights, racking headaches, tired ' and languid feelings, and nasty choking > sensations in the throat. A groat deal of * my timo was spent in be'd, as I was quite unable to get about." ' Cynical men and womjjn sometimes prol pound the query, Is life worth living? The 1 fact, is, many people don't know how to live. . They exist merely, like prisoners 1 confined in a dungeon or who are given ! liberty conditionally. upon their dragging a * weight about. * Perfect health is tho first necessity of ft happy lifo. Torpid livers, constipated mo- > tions, antemic disorders, skin affections, and 1 uric acid troubles render life unbearable. The victim, whether he be farmer or prime ■ minister,; will ; eventually have to take to > bed as did Mrs. Green in this instance^ > " I had been in bed four weeks, ' the 5 continues, " when a friend who is a firm believer in Seigel's Curative" Syrup for all T forms of dyspeptic troubles callfxl upon me r and strongly urged mo to try this remedy. I "I confess I was sceptical, but my friend 1 insisted, and gave mo a bottle to commence * with. I got immediate relief from this, and ' before the bottle was : empty the - distressing ' symptoms had nearly every one disappeared. I "I purchased another bottle myself, and that completed the cure. I am now in per--1 feet health. Naturally, I consider the effect > of Seigel's Syrup in my case marvellous. ' It changed me from an invalid and dys--1 peptic of three years' standing into a healthy woman. v ;. 1 "I am a native of Auckland and weh ' known here, where I have been in business for nine years."—(Mrs.) Annie Green, St. t George's Hall Buildings, Great North Road, 1 Auckland, N.Z. I Farmer Oak could foretell a thunderstorm I from signs' that he had been taught to read 1 from long experience, and years of study ' enable me to set down here signs of a condition which, if not cured, will bring about t a collapse of your system. If any of the following symptoms arc troubling you, ser cure a bottle of Seigel's Syrup at once, and follow the directions for taking it. _ Lack of appetite, heart palpitation, pains ' in the chest, back, head, and sidos, flatulen- > cy, low and depressed spirits, nervo and - neuralgic pains, a uremia, pains in the kid- * neys, rheumatism, gout, and sciatica, gravel I or stone, a cutting pain between . tho shoul- ? ders, weak eyesight, constipation and head- ; ache's, so-called " decline," counterfeit heart > ' disease, great ' mental distress. These dis--1 orders aro like so many brandies of a genea- - logical tree, and spring from the ono groat evil indigestion. F ;. .... ; .- , " • ; n
