A CLEAN-CUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION, BOLDLY EXPRESSED.

It is for this reason that an assertion like lite following sticks np above the dead level of our stupid talk, and becomes noticeable i •• When I saw koto pale I hmd grown I said to myself it was because something had gone out of my blood." There ! that is a statement with the seeds of an idea in it. Suppose we follow it up by quoting the rest of the letter which contains it. "In December 1890," says the writer, " I fell into a poor state of health. I was tired, languid, ' and weary without any apparent cause. ■ My appetite left me, and all food, even the lightest aud Bimplest kind*, caused me great pain in the chest and , stomach. . When I saw how pale I h&d jgrown I eaid to myself it was because something h&d gone out of my blood. ■ *' Then my sleep was broken, and night after night I soarccly closed my eyes. It wasn't l«ng before I became so weak and dejected thai I took no interest in things around me. I was no uerrous that common sounds annoyed and worried me ; even the noises made by, my own children in their talk and at their play. " There was a disgusting tatte in my mouth ; It made me sick, and- often gave me a shivering sensation all over. When I saw others eating and enjoying their meals I ftlt as though it were a strange thing ; in a way t wondered how they could do it. For myself I could eat hardly anything. Food went against me, and I turned away from it as one turns from smells or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone knows, that without sufficient food the body languishes and weakens. And suoh was the case with me as month after month went by. " During all this time/ so full of pain and discouragement, I was attended by a doctor, who did what he could to relieve me, but without success. I do not say he did not understand my complaint ; for may ha not have understood it without having the means of curing it F " The answer to the' lady's question js : Yes, easily enough. All intelligent, studious .doctors " understand " consumption, cholera, osneer, &0., without (as yet) having the means of curing them. . There is usually a wide gap between the discovery of .ft want and the way to supply it. ■ . ' " I will sow," continues the letter, " tell you how 1 came to be cured. la April 1891 1 read in a small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrup.* The book said the Syrup was a certain remedy for all diseases of the stomaob, indigestion in every form, and dyspepsias and it also said that most of the complaints we suffer from are caused by that. On looking over the symptoms described in the boob, and comparing them with my own, J saw. plainly that my ailment was dyspepsia. - : "We sent immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after taking it a few days X began to feel better. In a very short 1 " time, 1 by keeping on with the Syrup according to the direotioas, I could eat without pain or distress, and digest my food. I also slept soundly and naturally. Then my strength came baok, and with i^the colour to my face. In short, after A few weeks' use of Mother Seigel's Syrup I was hearty and strong as ever. . And I should be indeed ungrateful if I were not willing that others should have the benefit of my experience. You are therefore free to print my letter if you think it will be useful. (Signed) (Mrs) M. Truran, Marton, Lincoln, April 24, 1895," . I simply desire to say to Mrs Trnran that her idea about the blood is a perfectly oorreot one. All our food (the digestible part of ib) is turned into blood, and in that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gets thin and poor (laoking in nourishment), we lose flesh and grow feeble and pale. And the cause of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or, dyspepsia. How easy this is to understand when once you get hold of the right end of it Mother Seigel's Syrup has the peculiar power to comofc what is wrong about the digestion, aod thus enables the digestive machinery to mak«'gooo% rich blood— which is life and "health And beauty.
