SIZE AND STRENGTH NO DEFENCE.

Here's a point for yon to think over : Sin and development have nothing to do vrith health, A m\n may stand 6ft 2in in his stockings and have tbe muscles of a prizefighter, and yet be an essentially uuhesltby man. His frail-look-ing wife may be really tho better of the couple; she may easily do more work, endure more exposure, bsar mote griel and worry, and outlive h*»r big husband. There is a mystery iv this that iob dy can see into. It is a m&t.'e? of vitality and organisation — not of d-mensions. Tuke, foe coctinpltt, tbe case of Mr T. B. Staples, of Oakwood, Onb. He is a blacksmith ; and I well remember how, when a boy, I u?cd to regard a blacksmith with awe and wobder on account of his strength. It; was fe-ifnomo to see him swing thoie mighty ha-Duiesrs and pick up a heavy cart wheel M though it were a child's hoop. Yet I aaw only in park and understood in part. ! "Some 12 years ago," writes flfr BtaplflSi "I became tiware that the dreaded dieeaK dyspepsia had chosen me for one of ite many victims. It ia hardly necearary for me to try to descrUe all tbe different revling* that cante over me. I have talked with ronny people suffering with dyspepsia, and they have all had about the same experience. Among the-* symptoms on which wo agreed are the followiug : Bad taste iv the mouth ; fulnoea and deadnees in the stcmich after eating ; getting no good from one's food ; headache and palpitation of tbo heait ; g«w wid sour fluids from the stomach ; dizziness, especially when one rises up suddenly, or beuds over his work ; loss ol appetite ; pains iv the cheat and back, and the weak'iFHS that comes from not eating and digesting enough food to keep the body going. AU Ihoie things I had ; »d yon can imagine bow bad they ara for any one ; particularly foi & man who has got to e*rn his liviDg by daily hard work, ai iv my case. "After I found out what waa tho matter with me I consulted a doctor at once, and besan to take the medicine he gave me. lam norry to say it did ma little or no good. Although there is a common opiniou that stomach troubles are not very serious, and never dangeroup, I must say that is not my opinion. No man who suffers from dyspepsia a^ long as I did (ab?ub six years) will ever talk foolishly or lightly about it. Even tho doctors admit it iv the hardest of all disease* to k*.ep track of aod to cure. If it does nob kill a man right out of hand, it spreads the shadow of death over him all the time he lias it, and takes all the laughter oat of hist days. I "Well, after the doctor's roeiioine failed, I kept on taking anything aud everything tha* was recommended to me in hopf s of relief. Yet ! none of them wect to ihff- root of the trouble. Sometimes I would feel a little better and sometimes worse, and that's the way thing* went on with me year after year, a dreary and miserable time. There's no money could hire me to live it over again. " I was still in this condition when a friend whom I had been talking to about mjself advised me to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I didn't know the merits of the Syrup then, but being aDxious to try anj thing that might help me, I bought a bottle from Measu Hogg Brothers, and comnoeuced taking it. All I can gay is that I found relief immediately, and by continuing with it a short time all my bad symptoms abated one by one, and I found mybeif completely rid of the dyspepria, Since then I h»ve nuver had a touch of the old complaint. If there is any other medicine in the world that is ablo to cure indigestion and dyspepsia bb Mother BeigePi Syrup docs it, why I have never heard of it. I have recommended the Syrup to other sufferers, and they have been more than pleased with it ; and I write theee hasty lines in hope the publication of th«m may come in the nick of time to be useful to otherj still —Yours very truly (Signed), Thos. B. Staples, Oakwood, Ontario, February 25, 1895." We need add but few words to Mr Staplea'a intelligent and manly letter. The disease which afflioted him attacks bath sexes, all ages, acd all clatßea and conditions of humanity. Neither youth nor strength is prooj against it. It imit»tos other complaints, ana «o leads to fatal mistakes in treatment. If you are wise yon will acquaint yourself with U( character, as described in Mother Seigerj almanac, and know what to do in time <a need.
