FOOD WASTERS.

It is wrong .to waste good food at any time; but in these days the wasteful use of food is positively criminal. Yet thousands of sufferers from indigestion go on consuming food that does them little, if any, good, simply because they have failed to'realise that "it is not what you eat, but onlv that portion of it which you digest, that nourishes your body and replenishes the daily wear and tear of life. How important it is, then, to maintain the digestive apparatus—the stomach, liver, and bowels—in a thoroughly healthy and active condition. Indigestion means partial starvation ; but it means more than that, for the harmful products of food enter the blood stream and are carried.'to every part of the body, causing all manner of distressing and troublesome ailments. Tens of of former victims of indigestion now enjoy the vigour and buoyant healthfulness that springs from good digestion, simply because they hava availed themselves of the help that liea ready to hand in Mother Scigel's Syrup. This world-famous remedy possesses in & rcmarkablo degree, the "power to tone, strengthen, and regulate the action of stomach, liver, and bowels, and.when these organs are working harmoniously and efficiently indigestion—the great food-waster—-cannot exist. Mrs V. Rowley, 69 Leicester street, Parkside, S.A., writing on' November 21, 1916, says:—"Up to two ; e?iS back I was a great sufferer from indigestion. Almost every meal brought on a severe attack, and I was often in such agony and'distress that I could scarcely breathe or move about; It is very tantalising to feel hungry and be afraid to eat, yet that was frequently my case. I felt like giving up the struggle in-despair; but about this time I read in one of your books of other sufferers who had been cured of indigestion by Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I determined to tost its efficacy on myself. I commenced to use the medicine, and in a, short time I was delighted to find that _ I could safely satisfy the cravings of .appetite without having to undergo any of the old painful after-con-sequences. My strength came back and my health steadily improved, until in_ the end I was as well and hearty as I had ever been in my life."
