A BEARER OF BURDENS.

RELIEVED BY MOTHER SEIGEI/S SYRUP FROM THE TORTURE OF INDIGESTION AND BACKACHE, IN MELBOURNE.

A man who has been accustomed to hard work and who, when he is well, seems to like it, is Mr Henry W. Rood, a “wharf-lumper” by calling, who lives at 80, Grey street, West Melbourne. He is a big, hearty, burly man and attributes 'his illness to the strain imposed on his back by carrying heavy burdens, such as frozen carcasses of mutton, from the railway trucks to the ships’ slings. Of course his trouble really originated with some defect in his digestion and when that was remedied, as he tells you,, by Mother Seigel’s Syrup, his other troubles disappeared also.

Her© is his letter, dated January 4, 1905:—“Towards the end of 1903 I began to ail and feel generally out of sorts. I was unable to sleep well, lost all my appetite and was never free from severe pains in the small of the back and between the shoulders. I tried many different medicines, but for six months I could find nothing that would do mo any real permanent good. I was always ailing, depressed, and in pain.

“Then a relative who was in Melbourne on a visit from Castlemaine, said he had known of several cases in the country’ much like mine which had been cured by Mother Soigel’s Sj'rup ; so I thought I would try it. 1 improved so much while taking the first hotiie that I kept on with it, and when I had taken four bottles in all, my health was thoroughly ro-establi.died, and I was free from all the pains which I had been subject to for so long a time.

“I oould also eat, sleep and work as well as over I did; perhaps better than at any previous period of my life. When, my friends congratulated me on my recovery and improved appearance, I told them all that the whole of the credit for it was entirely duo to Mother SeigeVs Syrup, and to that alone.”
