THEORY OF THE FLAMING SWORD.

"Ah! talk of blessings! What a. blessing is digestion! To digest. Do you know what |it means? It is to hove the sun alwayß shini ing ami the shade always ready for you. It ! is to be met by smiles and greeted with kisses.. i It is to hear sweet sounds, to sleep with plea- | sant dreams, to be touched ever by gentle, i soft, cool hands. It is to be in Paradise. ! "There came a .great indigestion upon j the earth, and it was called a. deluge. All I the evil - comes . from this. Macbeth could I not sleep ; it was the. supper, not the murder. ! His wife talked arid talked; it was the supper. ! again. Milton had abaci digestion, and Car-. I lyle must have had the worst digestion in the! i world. Ah !to digest is to be happy,!',' ] There!—how- does that' strike you for a ! burst of 'eloquence? I quote from Trollope.. j. If there is anything wrong about the theology | you must hold him responsible. As for its' | physiology and pathology (pardon all these i ''ologies ") I. can answer for:the correctness. iof thesb'two. - And so. can; millions.of people, besides me. They speak of. the curse, of in r .. digestion continually in every language; they groan and writhe under it in"every land and ■| climate. ,''• ' " _ ' j " For may years,"- says one of this innumer- ! able army of martyrs, " I was obliged to bear j as best. I could the, torments of indigestion., !My appetite was practically destroyed. .1. ate,. ! of 'course, because one must.eat or die! but, j after meals I had great pain at the chest arid j around the sides. ■ " Sleep almost forsook ray pillow, and nnturj ally I was tired and exhausted. Sometimes ! better and then worse, but never free from pain and illness, I lived on with little or no hope of getting we 11... It is hardly necessary I to say.thnt I ha-d medical treatment, yet no i real benefit resulted "from it. Happily at this ■ time Mother Seigel's Syrup was brought to j my notice, and so .strongly commended that i I laid aside other medicines, which were do- : ing mo no good, and began using this one ; only. i "In a short tim'is I realised a great improvei ment; food agreed .with me and" I "gained i strength. A little later—continuing to talce i tho Syrup regularly as directed —the pains at .; tho stomach,, sides, and chest wholly ceased, ; and I have not felt them since. My indigos-* i tion was cured at- last, and I enjoyed the \ blessing of health. My son, who suffered. i severely from rheumatism, has been relieved i by Mother-Seigel's Syrup as by nothing else ;ho ever tried. In. gratitude I give you full I'permission- to publish my letter should you i desire. (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Barker, Field i'Lane. Braughing, Ware, Herts. October 7, ! 1898." i It was a fortunate circumstance for Mrs I Sarah Gell, of Melehbourne, Bedfordshire-, j that one day she had a personal talk with Mr | Smith, the butcher at Rushden. He told • tho lady that in his opinion if she went on ! suffering from indigestion and asthma (one ; of its consequences) it would be because she i neglected to use Mother Seigel's Syrup. j "And," said Mr Smith, " I speak from knowj ledge." She had been ill with this abomin-.----j able ailment .for many years, and had spent j time and money in unavailing efforts to obi tain relief. ' I Acting,on Mr Smith's advice, Mrs Gell bej gan using this remedy at once, and tells j the outcome in a letter of which we hava I room for the conclusion only: — j "I was better almost immediately, and was | soon as well and healthy as one could wish jto be. Now I keep ' Mother Seigel' in the I house, and it never fails to help us when j needed for any passirfg complaint. (Signed) j Sarah Gell. October 5, 1898. I Judging from the force of this comment on • the disease, I should say; Mr Trollope knew j something about indigestion from experience. I Most literary people do. To them, and to i all other victims, I confidently commend the i best remedy yet found —Mother Soigel's i Syrup. i _ —Lemon baths, are popular in the West [ indies. Three or four lemons arc cut up I and left to.soak in water half an hour. The I bath is very refreshing: | —The Norwegian army has a highlyj trained corps of skaters armed .with repeat- | ing rifles.
