His Legacy.

Statement of a British Physician. "The only thing I inherited from my parents," said a young fellow to 1210 the other day, "were poverty and a weak stomach." The statement is suggestive. His poverty came with his bad digestion, and remained because of it, for he grow to be a chronic dyspeptic, lacking the ambition and-force necessary to win a living against the competition of the healthy and strong. "During the whole of my professional career," says one of the most successful physicians in England, "1 have been telling my patients that, so far as physical weakness and disease is the cause of failures in life, the responsible ailment in nine cases out of ten is digestive weakness." The doctor is right ; and fortunately some good work is goin on in that direction, as the following case well proves. When Mrs Fitton's health failed, and she ebcamo alarmingly ill, her medical advisers told her that she was suffering from general debility and indigestion. Ihe information was doubtless correct ; but it would have been better if Mrs Fitton's informants had not put the cart before the liorse, but said, "indigestion and general debility," — for, of course, the general de- : bility was only a result of the indiges- ! tion. ! "For eighteen months," says Mrs i Fitton, "1 was under medical treatment; but I grow weaker all the time, and was far worse at the end than at the beginning of that period. I could not digest, and was so weak from want of nourishment and sleep i that my housework became a burden too hard for me to bear. Headaches, too, and pains in various parts of my body, troubled me greatly, so that my condition was pitiable. "A friend's advice that I should try Mother Seiyol's Syrup was not given a moment too soon. After taking that remedy for five days, I was somewhat relieved. The tightness at my chest which had been almost unbearable, ceased somewhat, and there was no pain after eating. Each bottle of the Syrup marked a long step forward in my march toward complete recovery, for which ten bottles proved sufficient. That was in 1898, and I have since continued in the emjoy'iient of perfect health, recommending Mother Seigel's Syrup to every sufferer from indigestion who comes in my way." — (Signed) Lucy Fitton, 4, Ilyder Street, Surrey Hills, Sydney, N.S.W., March 10th, 1908. The lesson of Mrs Fitton's experience is this : You must eat to live — you cannot doubt that — and your strength and energy depend upon the way in which your stomach deals with the food you eat. It must be properly digested, so as to give you the nourishment it contains. The more , thoroughly this is done, the better ' will be your health of both mind and body. Never neglect the first signs of indigestion ; if you do, a cure will be more difficult. Mother Seigel's Syrup, the famous herbal remedy for all stomach and liver disorders, is composed of roots, leaves, and barks, of great medicinal value, and may berelied upon to cure indigestion, headache, wind, constipation, and loss of appetite. Try it.
