THEY SPORT WITH HUMAN LIFE.

I'll give you the plain facts in the case, and you shall help me to judge whether there was a mistake or not, -

It seems that some; tiin© in r ‘ 1889—-in the winter, no doubt*—Mr Strong, of Leicester, was taken down with influenza, often called the ; grip; and truly a strong grip it has when it once takes a hold. Well, I am glad to say he was able to fight out the battle and get the best of it. But the best wasn't anything to brag of. The influenza hadn't exactly be ten Mr Strong, but it left him in very *ad condition. And here is where" you and I properly pick up the thread of the story. His- meals didn't tempt himj the most savoury of dishes had no charms for our friend. He had lost his appetite, and in tho long run a man had better lose his moneys He forced down something of course, but it gave him such a pain in the chest that he wished he hadn't swallowed a mouthful. Then, naturally, ho so weak and nervous ho couldn't sleep o'nights. This, as everybody knows, is the straight road to the graveyard, through v the madhouse. Lots of people are making that trip all the time. We must eat and we must sleep. If we : don't wo are done for. Neuralgic pains, too, made matters worse for Mi* Strong. He saw a doctor, and what did tho doctor do ? This is what the patient says on that J point; “This doctor gave me all kinds of strengthening "medicines, but none of them did me any good, and I continued to suffer for month after month." ; ; , Just what wo might have expected. Mr ■Strong further says:—“ln October, 1890, my friend, Mr James "Webster, of 28, New Walk, Leicester, advised me to try a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I followed his advice. The first bottle gave mo great relief, and I began to digest my food and to have an appetite; and after X had used three bottles I was quite another man. I was completely cured. All my aches and pains left me, my strength returned, and X have beon all right ever since. What astonished me was that the Syrup cured me so quickly, and I shall never cease thanking Mr Webster for making it known to me. You are at liberty to publish my case for the benefit of others. Yours truly, (Signed) W. Strong, 41, East street, Leicester, December 30th, 1891,” Now, was there a mistake in this matter, and if so, what was it ? Yes, there was a common mistake made. It is an old and seemingly hopeless blunder. - “The doctor,” says Mr Strong, '‘ gave me all kinds of strengthening medicine Open wide your ears and remember what I'm going to tell you now; remember it for the hour of your own helplessness and pain. There is no such thing as .strengthening medicine , neither in the earth nor the waters which are under the earth . This is the truth ; all tho high-class doctors know it. As for the others—well, there ! the less said about them the better. Mr Strong took “strengthening medicines,” and what happened to him ? Why, he “continued to suffer month after month.” Did you ever see a horse made stronger and fatter by spurs and lashwhips, leaving off the oats and hay ? I think you have not. And that is what “ strengthening medicines ” do, and all they do. So-called tonics are making a sick rrmn walk far and fast by kicking him at ©very other step. Nothing under the sun but digested, food imparts strength; no drug eyer does. And herein is the perpetual success and victory of Mother SeigeVs Syrup ; it cleanses the system of disease-poison and leaves Nature sweet and free. The stomach then cries, “Feed me” and so power and health come, hack like the green grass after a shower. Do you see ? Mother Seigel proclaims, “I destroy disease!” Nature respends, “ Only do that, and I can take care: of myself.” . . The disease is indigestion and dyspepsia. Mr Strong had it and was badly treated. Should you have it, try tho Syrup first not last, for I have told you why. Experience. London, March, 1592. :
