HAPPIEST OF ALL.

There ii to tims in the 24 hours when one ought to feel so thoroughly satisfied and content; as immediately after a good, beuty meal. And all healthy persons do feel »o. The body's demands have been met;, aad ire are easy and comfortable, aa though wo had' paid off au old*dun and had money left. We are accessible, humane, and good natured. Then, if ever, we will grant a requeat without grumbling. " True beuevohnce^' cays a crusty old friend of mine, (<i s located 'in a caimblo stomach recently filled." Tes, but what of Ihe incapable stcmachs, of which tbere aw' io many— stomachs .that diwippoiat and pUgiio th«ir ownei's till t,^ cob of ffedin'igf, co delightful to others', beaumss an Ret to »7oid the neoe^ity of *hich .they are almost Killing to die P Ah, that is quite another thing. These pcor souk are. thoy who Bay, as Mi«a Wallace s*ys in (.his kttsr of hers, " I was no longer to be counted, among thOBB who have pleasure in e«ttag ; f*r from it.- As for me, I was afraid to eat. ■ I felt the need of food, of course— the weakness and kicking -that accompanied asfltineace— but' whit w*« I . to do ? The moment I ate, my distress and pain commenced. No matter how.J/ght the repait w«b, nor ho »r. careful I w&s noi to hurry in taking it,, the "result was, tbe s&me.i The djstreM and gnawing pawns' followed, wita iv the cheet, abd a dense of choking, as if some bite of food had lodged there and wera irritatißg jine. "So objectionable and repugnant to., me was the act of eating that for days together I didn't! touch a morsel of solid food, subsisting entirely on milk and soda water. Oiciag to this enforced lack of nourishment, I got' extremely weak, and abnut as thin at I could ba. I must; not forgot to say that this happened' to me, oe rather it began to happan, in July 1886, .when I w»s living at Wellington, in Shropshire, Ib came on, as you may jay, gradually, aad not with any suddeu or acute symptoms, I found myself low, languid, aad tfred. Thenjcame the failure ot my appetite and tho other things I have named. x " I took the usual medicines for indigestion, but they had no good effect. After six months' experience of this kind of misery I read, is a book about Mother Seigel's Syrup as * remedy for this disease, and got a bottle from Mr B»tei, the chemist in Wellington. . H*via# used it a few days I Mb great relief, and when I had con« sumed two bottles I was entirely well. Since then I have heartily commended Mother Sejgel's Syrup to many friends* who have invariably keen cured, "as I wai, You have my permission to' piiblish my letter if you desire to-d o so. (Signed) Minnie Wallace, nurse, th« Union .Oldham, February 22, 1895 " It) a communication dated January 8, 1895. Mrs Henrietta M'Callam, of 4-0 DawnsQeld road, Walthamsbow, near London, states that W daughter iWma fell ill in the spring of ■1886 witlrthe same symptoms de»oribed.by Miss Wallace She craved food, yet, ' whea it was placed I. fore her, she turned from il almost with loataing. " As.time went on " (so ruas the mother's letter) " my daughter became so weak she could hardly walk. Neither home medicines' nor those of the doctors did any good. Her Bufferings continued for over eight years. "In June 1894 she began taking Mother Seigel's Syrup, of- wbieh we had jnst read in a little book that was left at the house. In a week she wa« 'better, and in lees thau , two months she was enjoying better health than ever before. She bus since ailed nothing, and can -eat 'any kind of food. (Signed) (Mrs) Henrietta M'Callam." •• Happy," sings Homer, " were they who fell under the high walls of Troy." Happier are they who have never fallen under the ortuhing weight of indigestion or dyspepsia. * Happiest, perhaps, of all are they who W« been lifted op" by Mother Seigel's remedy and placed whe^e once again they can e»t, drink, and be merry. And if all these could be gathered together they <would make ft greater host than the Greek poeb ever dreamed of.'
