POISON IN THE ASHES.
Many people believe that Nature has somewhere a remedy for every disease. So many and so terrible are the ills of life, and so slighfc the pleasure we get ;k> lime flies past, that such a belief is the least faith we can show in a gracious and all-wise Providence. A few reine<}i c8 — -but, alas, how few!— have been found. Others, so far, lie hidden from human inquiry. Occasionally death follows quickly on the heels of the evil— an illustration of the dangerous character of the ailment to be relieved.
For example, Nervous Dyspepsia is a comparatively new disease, growing out of the conditions of modern life. It is a joint affection of the digestive organ? and oE the nervous system. These two were formerly treated as separate ailments, and it was left for tho clear-sighted thinkers to prove that; the basis of this tprrible and often fatal complication lies chiefly in the disordered aud depraved functions of digestion and nutrition. They reasoned thua: "If we can induce the stomach to do its work, and stimulate the excretive organs to drive out of the body the poisonous waste, matters which remain alter the life-giving elements of thn food have been absorbed, we shall have conquered Nervous Dyspepsia and Nervous Exhaustion.' And they were right. Knowing the infallible power of SeigePs Syrup in lees complicated though similar diseases, they resolved to test it fully in this. To leave no ground for doubt, they prescribed the remedy in hundreds of cases which had been pronounced incurable — with perfect success in every instance where their directions as to liviDg aud diet were scrupulously followed. Nervous Dyspepsia and Exhaustion may almost be called a peculiarly Bullish disease. To a greater or less extent half the people of this country suffer from it — both sexes and all uges. In no c uintry in the worM are there so many insane asylums filled to overflowing, nil msuiting from thi*» alarming disease. Its leading viinptonn are the^e: Frequent or continual hfadactn', a dull pain at tlißbasnof the brain, bad breath, nauseous eructations, the rifeiog of sour and pungent fluids to tho throat, a sense of oppression ami i'.ur.tnpss at thn pjt or' tho stomach, ilatnleuce, wakefuli;cHS and lo?s of bleep, disgust with food even when wf-ak from the need of ie, sticky and hlimy matter on the teeth or in the mouth (esp?cially on rising in the morning), furred aud c<»'»ted tongue, dull eyes, cold hands and feet, constipation, dry or rough skin, inability to fix the mind on any labour calling for continuous attention, and oppressive and sad forebodings and fear. All this terriole group Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup removes l-y its poMtivc, powerful, direct, yet painless and gentle action upon tbu functions of digestion ami assimilation. Those elements of the food that build up and strengthen the system aro s*mt upon tbur mission, while all waste matters (the ashes nf life's fire), which, unreniovcl, poison and kill, aro expelled from the bocy through the bowels kidneys, and skin. Tli'i wi-A- and prostrated nerves are qui.4^l. foiifil, an-i f»»»l by the purified blood. A-> the result, health, with its eujoymwits, blessings, and power, returns to th^ sufferer, who ha<l pei'h-ip* abandoned all hope of ever seeing another well day. Mother Seigfl's Curative Syrup is for salo by a'l chemists aud nx-iliciiu: vendors, »*n«l by tho proprietors A. J. White, Limited, 35 Firriugdon read, London.
