WHAT IS THAT ONE THING ?

It seems like an absurdity, yet it is true all the same. I moan that you might have a cellar full of wood and coal and still shiver with cold; and you would if it ■were not for one thing. ” Oh, that is so obvious,” you may say. “It was hardly worth while to hint at it. Anybody can see it with his eyes shut.” All the better for me then j I shan’t have to explain. And by the same sharpness you will bo able to pick out tho important point in two short letters I am about to copy for you. The first runs thus: “In December, 1890, my daughter (Mrs M. J. Muther) got into a low, weak, nervous condition. Do what she would she could not get up her strength. Gradually she wasted away until everyone thought she was in a decline, and had not long to live. In fact, she was so low and dejected she did not care whether she lived or not. She was under a doctor for six months, but his medicines did her no good. My husband then said, ‘My daughter, I will see what Dean do for you.’ What ho meant was that ho would have her take a medicine called ‘ Mother Seigol’s Curative Syrup.’ Ho had used it himself when ho was ill, and thought it might prove as beneficial to her as it had to him. “ Mrs Muther said she was willing to try tho Syrup, although she had little or no faith in its helping one as bad as she was. For if she really had consumption we know there is no cure tor that. My husband, however, got a bottle from Mr Hulme, the chemist, in Rochdale road, and my daughter began taking it. After the first bottle we saw a great improvement. She could eat, and tho food caused her no pain. She continued with this remedy, and gradually gained strength, hut it took some time to bring her round, she was so very low and weak. After a time she was able to get about and never looked behind her. Since then she has been strong and well. We have told many persons how Mother SeigoTs Syrup restored her to sound health, and are willing you should publish this statement of tho fact—(Signed) (Mrs) Margaret Watson, 11, Ruby street. Bury, October Bth, 1895.” " In March, 1893,” says tho second letter, “ I began to fail in health. I could not say exactly what ailed mo. I felt low, weak and tired, and had no strength for anything. My appetite fell away, and what little food I ate gave mo great pain at tho chest and side. My hands and feet were cold, and nearly all the colour left me. I was often in so groat pain I could hardly do any work. I was frequently sick, and could keep no bind of food down. “ I got weaker and weaker, in spite of all that was done, and had to be off my work for 17 weeks. In this way I went on until November of the same year—lß93. Then I happened to road about Mother Soigel’s Syrup and what it had done for others suffering like me. I got a bottle of this medicine from Mr W. Hoywood, grocer, in Oldham road, and after taking only half of it I felt much bettor. I could eat without pain, and was stronger and brighter every way. When I had finished the bottle I was quite cured, and have had no return of tho comjilaint since. I have told many others about what tho Syrup did for me, and out of thankfulness I am willing my letter should bo made public. (Signed) Miss Lydia E. Morton, 1, Greaves street, Middleton Junction, near Manchester, October 10th, 1895." Both these ladies say that they wore very weak, and that their food—of which they could take but little—did them no good. In the midst of plenty they were actually starving. So much wasted was one of them that it was believed she had consumption. Tho event showed that they both suffered from dyspepsia, and nothing else. But that was quite enough; and besides it often runs into consumption and other fatal maladies. By setting the stomach right Mother Seigol’s Syrup fully cured them both. Coals and wood are useless without means to light a fire; and bread and meat are as nothing unless wo can digest them and make them part of our flesh and bone. That is easy to see and important, to remember. And it is its power to help nature work this transformation that makes Mother Seigel’s Syrup so wonderful a remedy.
