The Horror of It.
Vigorous, healthy folks simply cannot imagine what a horror, what a death-in-life Indigestion really is. They speak lightly of it and say, "Poor Mrs So-and-So has some trouble with her stomach." "Soma trouble," forsooth. Of all the ills that afflict humanity none causes more misery, than Indigestion. When digestion fails, life itself ebbs away, just as a steam engine stops when the coal gives out. If you cannot digest your food —as. the furnaoa burns the coal —your heat, power, energy, must run down. Continue this condition and your engines will stop! It is a simple matter to take 30 drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup in a little water whenever you feel the tendency to liverishness or have partaken heartily of food thai is liable to disagree with you; yet thousands of people avoid the consequences ol biliousness and indigestion in just thu simple way. "Over a long period I was. attacked by indigestion, and it would be impossible to exaggerate my misery and suffering. I wai unable to keep any food down, and after eating suffered from terrible pains in tha stomach and- chest, and around the heart. At night I was restless and unable to sleep, and I wasted away until I was simply a mere frame of skin and bone, and so weak that I was afraid to walk out for fear of falling to the; ground through sheer debility. I was very nervous too, had frequent and most painful headaches, and. felt utterly exhausted, and unable to do anything about the home.. In fact, all happiness, energy, and brightness was. quita blotted out of my life for. the time by the cruel ravages of the fell coir plaint. I was induced to try a bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup. Much to my comfort and delight I found, on using it, that it eased my sufferings, and I began to improve and feel better from the first day. I can with truth assert that my health began to steadily mend before the contents of the first bottle had been nearly used up, and the curative process continued without check or interruption, as I used the Syrup, until I was transformed from a weak, ailing invalid into a well and hearty woman, able to eat anything I had a fancy for, abla to go through all the domestio duties of the day without fatigue, and able to enter into all the amenities and pleasures of lifo again with zest and enjoyment."—Mrs Mary Gough, Bont View, 34 Turbot street, Bris-
