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 knew there was trouble in the v,-ind. When, on striking a light indoor?, he observed a thin, glistening streak across his table, which terminated in a large brown garden slug, he knew again that.the Great Mother was warning him. And when, last of all, two 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 thunder-" storm would affect the wheat ricks and barley 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 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 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 :tc live. They exist merely, like priso lers 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 motions, anaemic disorders, skin affections, and uric acid troubles render life unbearable. The victim, whether ho 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, ' j.ho continue;*, " when a friend who is a firm believer in Seigel's Curative* Syrup for all forms of dyspeptic troubles call upon mc and strongly urged me to try this remedy.

"I confess J was sceptical, but my friend insisted, and gave me 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.

" I am a native of Auckland and well known hero, where I havo been in business for nine years."—(Mrs.) Annie Green, St. George's Hall Buildings, Great North Road, Auckland, N.Z.

Farmer Oak could foretell a thunderstorm from signs that he had been taught to read from long experience, and years of study enable me to sot down. here signs of a condition which, if'not, cured, will bring about a collapse :of your system. If any of tho following symptoms , are troubling you, secure 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 sides, flatulency, low and depressed spirits, nerve and neuralgic pains, anaemia, pains in the kidneys, rheumatism, gout, and sciatica, gravel or stone, a cutting pain between the shoulders, weak eyesight, constipation and headaches, so-called " decline," counterfeit heart disease, great mental distress. These disorders arc lliko so many branches of a genealogical tree, and spring from tho one groat evil, indigestion.
