THEN DON'T WATCH THE POT.

A watched pot never boils, and a watched clock never goes. Nothing is quick eaough for impatience.' Minutes, "hour*, and daya *re mere words after all. Wa are happy — a day is but an Lour. We are miserable — an' hour is j a day. / From ths. summer of 1890 to the autumn of j 1892 wssa'c long to content e:i and buay people ; but to Mies Aunie Button ife seamed like one" of i those tremendous geologic periods that; the learned men talk about. For ife was measured by weary heart-beats and footsteps taken in p&in. Her trouble began as it begins with an ! uncounted multitude of women — the tired and i languid feeling, the disgust with food, the disi iresa after eating, the coated tongue, the grinding pain at the pit of the stomach, the nausea, and vomiting of acid fluids, &c. — a dreary list. Writing of her experience recently, she says r •' After a time I h*d so much distress that I norer wanted anything to cat ; the very sight of it made me sick. Nighfe after night came, bricging Jileep to others, but: not to me. I was low, naJserjvble, sad worn out aud would sit for, hcura all alone, wishing for no coasp&ny. I And, then, so nervous. Why, the slightest J Boise startled me. i "Two terrible years of this I was dragged I through. In that time I lost fcur stone ia j weight, growing continually weaker. I con1 suited doctor after doctor, bub they were nob ' able to do me any real good. I tried change 1 of air, yet was disappointed in my hope of any • advantage from it. I only lost ground, and ' became more and more feeble. " Then came unexpected help. Id September, 1892, a neighbour of mine told me of the good i Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup had done her, • and urged me to try it. I had heard this medicine well spoken of for years ; still I had no failh tfcat it would. benefit; me iD my condition. However, my husband get mo the Syrup from Derby, and after I had taken ife a few days I felt better. I could eat once more, and my food sgreed with me. After I had used cbree bottles I was a new woman. / was well ; and I have been in good health ever since. Now I recommend the Syrup to all our customers and friends, and so does my husband. — 'Sours truly (Signed) Annie DuUon, Nottiugham road, BQ-rcwa&b, near Derby, Obtobec 6, 1893."" As to tee opening symptoms, the narrative of Mrs Susannah Durose is identical with that of Mrs DuUod, j? o we need cot repeal; them. "In October, 1890," cays Mrs Darose, "I | read about Mother Seigel's Syrup in a little i b~ok. I got » bottle, and after taking ib a short time I was well as ever, although lam 178 years old. My daughter, who suffered from ■weakness and neuralgia, took th« Syrup with great benefit. I know many others who have been cured by it after all other means had failed. — Yours truly, (signed) Susannah Duroee, Hawthorn Cottage, Borrowash, near I Derby, October 6tb, 1£93." ! The latter lady would bo called very old, as ; she is 78 ; and, »s lives average nowadays, she jis old. Few of us, perhaps none, have any hope of living as long as she ha§. Why nob ? •• The days of our years are three score years and ten," says David. But mosb of the race fail to reach 70, while maay exceed ifc. There is bo law, no edict, on the subject. We are each entitled to live as long as we can, and to be as happy as we can ; andbofch depend (accidents excepfced) on health, and health means the continued natural action of the digestive process. And that Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup promotes that a host of ■mtnesises in England alone have testified.
