OFTEN TIRED BUT NEVER WEARY.
Lei's duopss this point for two minuses. Here's a man who says that at a oertain period he began to feel " tired and weary." That's precisely the way he pots it in his letter. Now, anybody has a right to feel tired er fatigued (it's the same thing), after labor or much exercise. It'a the. body's \ fashion of telling yoa to hold up, to give it ft rest. Ii is a natural, and, in health, with supper and sleep jnat ahead, a pleasant feeling. But -weariness I— that's different. That comes of monotony, of wailing, of loneliness. Weariness is of the mind, not of the body. Bat it can arise in the body, all the lame. If this bothers yoa at first, don't say, " StuS 1" " humbug 1" but Btody up on it. A man may ba tired and happy, but not weary and happy. For weariness meanß depressed spirits, end nerves all sagged down in the middle. And when you get both at onoe yoa will be wise to fiad out what's gone wrong. It is a short letter, this is, and wa can just aB well quote the whole of it. The writer says : "It wbb in November, 1887, when I began to feel tired and waary. It seemed as if I had no Btrength left in me. Before that I had always been strong and healthy. My appetite was poor, and for daya together I could not touch any food that was placed before me. After every meal that I did sueoeed in foroing down, 1 had each dreadful pains in tbe chest and back, that 1 wai almoßt afraid to eat. Then there was a sharp pun around the heart, too, as though I was stabbed with a knife. "I lost a deal of sleep, a&d for nigbti together I did'nt sleep at all. Then I began to loose flesh rapidly, ani was afraid I was going into a consumption! Yet I kept on with my work, however, but it was a bard thing for me, because I wai so weak and nervous that I trembled from head to foot As time w;nt on I gradually got worse and worse, my eyes were sunken and drawn in. I consulted a doctor in Kentish Town. He gave me medicine, but it did me no good. After all this I got the idea into my head that X should not re cover. " One day a <&dy esme into the shop, and noticing the state I was in, kindly asked bow long I had been ill. I told her all about it, and she said, 'You try Mother Seigel's Curative S; rap ; it has made me well, and I believe it will do you good. 1 « I sent for a bottle, and after taking only a few doßss I feit relieved. Presently my food agreed with me, and I enjoyed my meal?. I could sleep better alao, and by keeping on taking the Byrup I soen got as strong as I ever was in my life. Since that time (now over four years ago), I have been in the best of health. I consider that in all probability thia remedy saved my life ; at all events, it restored my health, and life without health don't amount to much. I gladly consent to the publication of thia statement, and will answer inquiries. Yours truly (Signed), G. Vikcb, 142, Shepherd's Buah Boad, London, W., November 30th, 1892." Thus Mr Vinoe'a unfortunate experience comes to happy end. As he has to work for a living, like most of qb, he v no doubt often tired, bat never weary any more. And what can poßßibly be more wearisome than longoominutd illness ? With him, as wiih mil* lions, it was the Btomach that was in fault. His food entered tbe stomach and stopped there. Bo he suffered from two bad results ; he received no etrength from it, but he did receive tbe deadly acids and gases which the fermented stuff gave birth to. Indigestion and dyspepsia. The same old story of pain and misery, and, thank meray, the same story of restoration and gratitude after an appeal for help had been made to good old Mother Seigel.
