Why am I so Miserable ?

So' weak and languid? Why such heartburns and pains in the stomach, s>ucn acidity, and aucii an unpleasant taste m themouth ? Why at timea such a gnawing appetite, and then again such disrelish for food?" Why is the mind so frequently irritable, desponding, melancholy, and dejected? Why does one often feel under the apprehension of some imaginary danger, and start at any unexpected noise, becoming agitated as 1 though some great' calamity was impending ? What is the meaning ot these dull, sick headaches;'these violent palpitations of the heart, this feverish restlessness, these night sweats.this disturbed and dreamy sleep, which brings no refreshing rest, but only moaning!? and mutterings, and the horrors of the nightmare? The answer is : These are but the symptoms of Indigestion or Dyspepsia—the beginning and the forerunner of almost every other human disease. Indigestion is a weakness or want of power of the digestive fluids of the stomach to convert th« food into healthy matter for the proper nourishment of the body. It is caused most frequently! by the l irregularity of diet, or improper food, want of healthy exercise and pure outdoor air It may be induced by mental distress — the shock of some great calamity. It may be, and often is, aggravated and intensified, if not orgin&lly brought on, by exhaustion from intense mental application, of physical overwork, domestic troubles, anxiety in business, or financial embarrassments. If the stomach could always be. kept iv order death would no longer be a sub. ject'of fearful anxiety to the young and middleaged, but what would be contemplated by all as the visit of an expected friend at- the close of a 1 peaceful and happy old age. However, the first hostile invader upon the domain of health, and! Happiness is Indigestion.

Is there any relief, any remedy, any cure ? That is the question of the suffering »nd unhappy dyspeptic. What is wanted in a medicine that will thoroughly renovate the stomach, bowels, liver, and kidneys, and afford speedy and effectual assistance to the digestive organs, and restore to the nervous and muscular systems their original energy. Such a medicine is happily at hand. Never in the history of medical discoveries, evidenced by a doien years' thorough test, has there been tound a remedy for Indigestion so speedy, a© sure, and so surprising in its results a» Seigel's Curative Syrup, but to-day it is a standard remedy for that almost universal affliction in every civilised country in Europe, Asia, Africa, and America. Public testimonials aud private letters from military officers, bankers, merchants, 'ship captains, mechanics, farmers, {and their wives aud daughters, alike confirm its curative powers.
