FARMER OAK AND THE STORM.

When Farmer Oak, ; on bis,way towards his humble cottage one- night, struck his foot against a big. toad ho knew there was trouble in the wind. When, on striking a light indoors, he observed a tliin, glistening streak across his table, which terminated in a largo brown garden slug, he knew again that the Great Mother was warping him. And when, last of all, two i black* spiders dropped from the thatched roof of his, cottage to find a safer home on the floor.; he; sat down and meditated how the coming great thunderstorm would.-affect the wheat ricks and bar- \ ley stacks, and what : might be saved. . . There are signs which - are as . unmistakable in their significance as the turned thumbs of the Romans •in - the ■ days of the amphitheatre. In the case of Mrs. Green, where first one symptom disappeared after a dose or two of SeigePs: syrup, and then another, this lady knew that the - - Syrup was on the way to euro her as surely as she lived. "As ' I suffered for about three years from most acute indigestion," she writes, "it gives me great; pleasure to-testify.: to : the complete cure which a small quantity :of Seigel's Curative Syrup affected in my case, after ; several: medical men had prescribed , for me in vain. " From 1897 until about two months ago (the date of-Mrs. Green's letter is December 3, 1900) I endured a continual agony of ; sleepless nights, racking : headaches, tired and /languid feelings, and nasty choking sensations in the throat. A great deal of my time was spent in bed, as I was quite unable to get about." Cynical men and women sometimes propound the query, Is life worth living? The fact is, many people don't know how to lire. .They exist merely, like prisoaers confined in a dungeon or who are: given . liberty conditionally upon their dragging a : weight about. > . ■ \ Perfect health : is the first necessity of a happy life. Torpid livers, constipated mo- . tions, anaemic disorders, skin affections, and uric acid _ troubles render life i 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 continues, "when a friend who is 'a. firm be- : liever in Seigel's Curative" Syrup for all forms of dyspeptic troubles called upon mo and strongly urged me to try this : remedy. : ■-■, "I confess I was sceptical, but my friend insisted, and gave-m©: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 purchased ..another bottle' myself, and that completed the cure. ~ I am now in perfect health. : Naturally, I consider the effect of Seigel's Syrup in my case marvellous. It changed me from an invalid and ■> dyspeptic of ; three years' standing into a healthy woman. :'■•."'.. .;■---'' - ".

If_ any of the following'symptoms are troubling you, t secure a bottle .of Seigel's Syrup at once, and follow the directions for taking it.
