MINED!

How familiar has the term "mined" b»come to us since the days of the war. Previously wo thought of it 4$ only applied to industry in the Diamond, Gold, or Coal Fields. " Mined," however, has now a new significance since Frightfulness was let loose on the broad waters. It conjures up new mental pictures and ugly ones, too. Similarly, one often hears that people fail to regard a lapse from normal health as serious until their constitution has been undermined. The pity of it that it should bo so. It i 3 far wiser and safer to commence remedying ills in their early stages, even though they be the common, everyday ones, than to ignore or think lightly of them until they begin to undermine your vitality and physical well-being. This truth is amply illustrated in the following letter: — "For a period of several years I was subject to indigestion, bilious attacks, and splitting headaches. My tongue was heavily coated; there was a nauseous taste in the mouth, disagreeable eructations, and the very smell of food would turn my stomach and make me retch and vomit. "When bilious I felt helpless and good for nothing for hoiirs. Scarcely a week elapsed without seeing me down to a more or less severe attack. I felt that my system was being undermined and enfeebled by them. There was no improvement until I commenced to use Mother Seigel's Syrup about 18 months ago. The relief I gained from the first doses convinced me of its merit as a medicine, and as I continued to use it my good opinion of and faith in it increased as my health rapidly improved under the treatment. I never looked back, but felt better and waxed stronger day by day until I was ciircd of all the old complaints and thoroughly sot up in health again. Four large bottles of Mother Sei<rel's Syrup sufficed to bring about this happy chango in my condition. I am still well, and can enjoy my meals as well as the next one."
