SIZE AND STRENGTH NO DEFENCE.

JlVre's a {joint fot you to think o»vr: Siet and devtlo2immt have, nothing to do with health. A mtvn may stand 6fb 2iu in his stack ings and have the muscles of a prizefighter, aad yeb be an essentially unhealthy man. His frail-look-ing wife may be really the better of the couple ; ehe may easily do more work, endure more exposure, bsar mote grieS and worry, and outlive her big hmbaad. There is a mystery in th's that Lob Ay can tne into. It is a mat'ec of vitality and orgasiifaliou — not of d'ni'iiisioua. Tn.ke, for cxMnple, the case of Mr T. B. Btnpl<3, of Oakwood, Onb. Ho w a blacksmith ; and I well remember how, when a boy, I u»ed to regard a blavlMnorh with awe and woi. dec on aceounb of h<'« efrangib. Ifc was fd r- mi to hco him BN»ig tho^'fl mighty ii a uinui's and T'^'k up a hoxvy cart wheel M though it were a child's hoop. Yet I aaw only in part end understood in part. "Some 12 years ago," writes Mr StaplflO, " I brcaißO aware that the dreadf.d diueaoe dyspepsia had chosen me for one of it» many victims. It is hardly neceseary for rue to try to describe all tbe different feeliugs that came over mo. I have talked with many people suffering with dyspepsia, and they have ail had about tho same experience. AmoDg the symptoms on which we agreed aru the following : Bad taste in thercnuth ; fulncis aud dead* ness iv the stomach after eating; getting ao tiooA from one's food ; headacha aad palpitation of the heart ; gM and sour fluids from the atortiiU'h ; dizziness, especially when ona rises up suddenly, or bei.da over his wo«lt; loss of appetite ; naiaa in the chest aud b*.ck, and tho weakness that come 3 from nob citing and digesting enough food to keep tho body going. All these things I hud ; *i>d you cau imagine how bad thoy are for any ona ; particularly for a man who haa got to e«n bis living by daily hard work, a1?a 1 ? in my cas'i. "Affcor I found oufc whifc wa» iky matter with me I consulted a doctor «fconcc, ami began to tnke tho medicine he gave me. Itm norry to cay it did ma lib*le or no good. Although there is a common opinion that stomach ttoubles are not vecy serious, and novar dangefoue, I must say that is not my opinion. No rrnn who fuffers from dyspepsia a* long at I did (ttb ub cix yars) will ever talk foolishly of lightly nhout it. Even tha doctors admit ifi ia tho hardoflh of rII dwa«ea to k-;ep tr*ck of and to cure. If it doc* not kill a man right out of hand, it spreads the shadow of death over him all the time Ac has it, and takea all the laughter out; of his dajs. "Well, after the doctor's medicine failed, I kept on tilling anything and everything that was recommended to me in hopes of relief. Yet none of them went to the root of the trouble. Sometimes I would feel a little better and sometimes worse, aud that's the way things went on with me year after year, a dreary and miserable time. Tli-re'a no money could hire me to live it over again. " I wag frtill in this condition when a friend whom I lutd b'f-n tiikii'g to about mysuif adviied me to try Mot tier S<-ig» I's Curative Syrup. I di'hi't know tbe vafsd*s of the Syrup then, bat being anxious fco try anything that might help me, I bought a bottle from Mesarn Hogg Btouhers, and commenced t»king 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 myaelf completely rid of the dyspepaia. Since then I have never had a touch o p the oM complaint. If there is any other medicine in the world tn»A is able to cure indigestion and dyspepaia »s Mother Seigd's Syrup docs it, why I have never heard of ifc. I have recommended tho Syrup to other sufferers, and they have been more than pleased with ib ; and I write these hasty lines in hope the publ'cation of them may come in the nick of time t j be useful to othera »till -Yours very truly (Hgn«>rt), Tiros. B. Staples, Oakwood, Ontario, February 25, 1895." We need add but few words to Mr Stapleu's intelligent and manly letter. The disease which afflicted him attacks both sexes, 'all ag'S, aud all clafses and conditions of humanity. Neither youth nor strength is proof against ifc. 16 imitates other complaints, tnd so leads to fatal mistakes in treatment. If you are wise you will acquaint your*<lf with its character, as doscribed in Mother Seigel's almanac, aad taww oh&t to do in tfano t& need.
