LOST STRENGTH.

WHAT AN ATHLETE SUFFERED PBOM AVWVVI INDIGESTION. MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP CUBED HIM, "I had led an active outdoor life up to the tirr.e 1 received a clerical appointment in the Government service." says Mr John Kelly, in a letter to the proprietors of Mother Seigel s Syrup, dated September 20tb, 1905. "I had some reputation as an amateur athlete, and my health had always been good, "continues Mr Kelly-; "but when I had spent two years in the General Post Office, 1 began to suffer from indigestion. "Rightly or wrongly, 1 believe my illness was due to confinement indoors. My weight declined to 9at 4lbs — a great falling off. My friends thought 1 was going into consumption, and I feared that they were right. Everything I eat, no matter what tbe nature of the food, was soon followed by terrible pains at my cheat;. There was frequent pain, too, at my back, between the shoulder blades, with bead ache, sioknesa and a general feeling of unfitness. 1 4 SEARCH OF A REMEDY. "I took professional advice and faithfully followed it; but wifcn no good result. Then I engnged in all kinds of physical exercise ; but 1 soon found tbat my lost health was not to be regained that way. Next 1 tried various advertised medicines— but aIJ, alike, failed to relieve me of tue pains of indigestion. "In proof that a :san may sometimes be doing good work when he thinks he is idling, one day 1 was thoughtlessly turning ovbi the leaves of a booklet contain-ing accounts of cures effected by Mother Seigel 's Syrup. I became in ceres feed, and was at last so much impressed that. I bought a bottle of tbat medicine. "The effect of Mother Seigel's Syrup upon me was better than I had dared to hope for. When I had finished the seeondjbottle, my appetite had returned. Continuing its use, the painful symptoms of my complaint gradually abated, and my weight increased daily. By the time I had used eight bottles I weighed 14sfe 61hs, and my health was perfect. . • : - "1 have no need for medicine tiqvn, but I keep a bottle of Mother Seigel's Syrup in tbe bouse in case I should again have any symptom of indigestion. "—John Kelly, 37, Church Street, Hawthorn Victoria. On the 18tb November, 1907, Mr Kelly repoted to us that his health continued entirely satisfactory. If you suffer from Indigestion, as did Mr B>liy. take Mother Seigel's Syrup, and take it sow. Take it regularly r Take it as conscientiously as you would take medicine specia y prescribed for you by some celebra ed physician - and it will cure you?
