An alarming disease afflicting A NUMEROUS CLASS. The disease commences with a slight derangement of the stomach, but, if neglected, it in time involves the whole frame, embracing the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and, in fact, the entire glandular system, and the afflicted one drags out a miserable existence until death gives relief from suffering. The disease is often mistaken for other complaints ; but, if the reader will ask himself .the following questions, he wilx be able to determine whether he himself is one of the afflicted : —Have I distress, pain, or a difficulty in breathing after eating ? Is there a dull, heavy feeling, attended by drowsiness ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge ? Does a thick, sticky mucous gather about the gums and teeth in the mornings, accompanied by a disagreeable taste ? Is the tongue coated ? Is there pain in the sides and back ? Is there a fullness about the right side as if the liver were enlarging ? Is there costiveness ? Is there vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from an horizontal position ? Are the secretions from the kidneys scanty and highly colored, with a deposit after standing ? Does food ferment soon after eating, accompanied by flatulence or a belching of gas from the stomach ? Is there frequent palpitation of the heart ? These various symptoms may not be present at one time, but they torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses. If the case be one of long standing, there will be a dry, hacking cough, attended after a time by expectoration. In very advanced stages the skin assumes a dirty brownish appearance, and the hands and feet are covered by a cold, sticky perspiration. As the liver and kidneys become more and more diseased, rheumatic pains appear, and the usual treatment proves entirely unavailing against this latter agonising disorder. The origin of this malady is indigestion or dyspepsia, and a small quantity of the proper medicine will remove the disease if taken in its incipiency. It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly treated in its first stages, when a little medicine will effect a cure, and even when it has obtained a strong hold the correct remedy i-hould be persevered in until every vestige of the disease is eradicated, until the appetite has returned, and the digestive organs are restored to a healthy condition. The surest and most effectual remedy for this most distressing complaint is “ Seigel’s Curative Syrup,” a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White, Limited, 21, Farringdon-road, London, or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser and Co., New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch, and Auckland. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system. Ask your chemist for Seigel’s Curative Syrup. “ Angus-street, Clunes, Australia, “ May 17th, 18S0. “ Dear Sir, —It is with great pleasure that I bear testimony to the value of your excellent medicine. For some time I had suffered with liver complaint and biliousness, afterwards jaundice set in, and I was very ill indeed for over twelve months. During that time I consulted several medical men and took the medicine they prescribed without any benefit, and at last I began to despair of ever getting well again. However, I was induced to try Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and after taking the fifth bottle I began to get better. I continued taking it for some time, and now I feel better than I have done for years. I send you this hoping that it may induce similarly afflicted persons to try your valuable remedy. I shall be glad to answer any questions, either personal or by letter, in reference to the Syrup. “C. Clark.” Seigel’s Operating Pills, unlike many kinds of cathartic medicines, do not make you feel worse before you are better. Their operation is gentle but thorough, and unattended with disagreeable effects, such as nausea, griping pains, &c. “St Mary Street, Peterborough, “Nov. 29, 1881. “ Sir, —It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Seigel’s Syrup. I have been troubled for some years with' dyspepsia, but after a few doses of the Syrup I found relief, and after taking two bottles of it I feel quite cured. “ I am, Sir, yours truly, “ Wm. Brent. [A DVT. “Mr A. J. White.”
