YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD STOVE.

You can't hive a fire without burning some kind of fuel. You agree to this ? Why, of course. Well, now, suppose you had bought a stove in which no fuel whatever would burn, what would you do ? Throw it back on the dealer's hands and get another ? To be sure. Now, fancy you had But let us have the story first, and draw the conclusion afterwards. ' A woman tells this bit of experience ; — "It was in 1882," she says, •• when I began to feeljll and out of sorts. I did not know what was the matter with me. In the morning I was tired and languid, and was constantly spitting and belohing up a clear fluid like water. My appetite gradually left me, and I had great pain after every morsel I ate. I had great pain at the chest, which .at times seemed to strike through to the back and shoulders. I lost a good deal of sleep at night, owing to spasms and to wind that appeared to gather in my sides. No food, however simple, agreed with me. For three years I suffered like this, and could take no solid food, such as a meat dinner.

"Now, as I had always been of an active disposition, I strove hard to do my work and attend to my shop, but in April 1885 I got so bad that I sent for my daughter, who was living at Priest Hutton, near Carnforth, and she returned home. Whilst away she had been under a dootor for weakness and neuralgia, but getting no better she had been recommended to take a medicine called Mother SiegeFs Curative Syrup, and this cared her, so she insisted upon my taking the same medicine. I got a bottle from Messrs Needham Bros., chemists, Brighouse, and began to take it. In a day or two I found relief. Soon all my pains left me, and X gradually gained strength. I oould eat my food, and after having used two bottles I found myself completely cured.

"I have recommended this medicine to many of my friends and customers who come to my shop, and it has done them good ; so I thiuk it right that its virtues should be made as widely known as possible." (Signed) Mrs CoHing©, grocer, Rastrick, Brighouse, near Halifax

Another woman gays :—: —

In December 1885, after my confinement, I began to have a poor appetite and much pain and sickness after eating. My food seemed to turn to wind, and I suffered from fulness in the chest and pain in the stomach. I gradually lost my strength and fell into a low desponding state of mind.

However light food I took I had pain, so that / became afraid to eat. I lost a deal of sleep, and got so weak I was frequently obliged to lio down on the couch and rest. At times the pain was almost more than I could bear, and 1 had to go to bed and have hot salt applied to my chest and stomach, for when these attacks came on / felt as if I was dying. The doctor who attended me said \ was suffering fromChronic Indigestion and that something was wrong with, Uw "tipper stomach." What a strange statement for a doctor to make I Ha did all ho could to relieve me, but without success, aud I lingered on in this way for 12 months. About this time Mr Connor, stevedore, living at Dennison. street, told my father of the great benefit he aad derived from taking Mother Siegel'a Syrup, and I sent at once: and got a bottlo, and after taking three bottles all pain left me. I got strong and eonld eat; anything, and from that time to this I have never, been ill. I keep tbe medicine in the house, and if any one b? the family ail anything: a dose or two of Mother Seigei's Syirup seta them right.

We said you cannot have a firo without burning some kind of fuel. The human stomach is a stove, and, food, is the fuel we put into it. If the food is consumed or digested, the body i& nourished and bvulfc up, and we enjoy healtl* and strength; but if otherwise wo quickly waste away and perish. Now, when th& stomach refuses to digest, burn, or consumefood, we have what is called indigestion. and> dyspepsia, the most common a»d dangerous o£ all diseases This is what, died these two. women, and what aila Bullions more in thiscountry. The conclusion is plain enoughThe remedy which cured them will cure others. Then (the flre burning well) we »hall hay* heat, which » life and power.
