YOU AND YOURSELF.

WHEN YOU ARE ILL, DO YOU KNOW WHAT MAKES YOU !LL. "Know thyself," is a useful proverb. But how many people do know tHemselves ? I>o you ? Wkou. you aro iR do you Know what is making you ill Could you givo a reason? Could you guess the cause? If you have an abcess there is no doubt about your condition. There is the sore place to be seen. Similarly, "men or women with a cold on the" chest and. a severe cough, have definite symptoms and can describe precisely what is wrong with them, when the doctor calls. But most people are not ill in these plain, obvious, matter-of-fact ways — many times in their lives. # _ They may be constantly ill, in vague uneasy ways. Beyond realising one or .two vague .causes of distress, apparently of little moment, they seem well and feel they ought to be well. Only — they are never well. One gets up in the morning tired. Another fpels dull and heavy. Another flushes in the face and /has palpitation on mounting the stairs. Still another fools depressed at the end of the day and cannot sleep at night, though tired out. _■ Or, the tongue is coated. Food does not tempt and gives no pleasure. Eating is an ordeal and pain follows it — sometimhes sickness. Dizziness occurs. Flatulence is common. The system becomes irregular. But they go on suffering. Why ? The stomach is the cause. The stomach is the most used, most delicate, most important organ of the body. It is worked harder than any other. It literally keeps the body, alive in the same manner that the fire makes steam for the engine. Put it ever so slightly out. of order and there is trouble. A distressing symptom is set up. Discomfort follows. A feeling of actual illness sets (inNext time you feel that, don t worry and suffer. Go to your chemist. Ask for a medicine he knows — a medicine millions know — Mother Seigel'fe Syrup. _ Take a dose as directed, day by day. faithfully. You will find the system ton?d up. The little disquietening worries disappear one by one. Again, why? Mother Seigel s Syrup deals with the stomach and makes it do its own work in the proper way. Indigestion, the root cause of nine tenths of human suffering, once corrected,- yoii get well. Your other troubles arising from indigestion disappear — they cannot exist with a digestion set right by Mother Seigel' r, Syrup. Mrs M. Majoram, 51, Barwon Park Road, St Peter's, N.S.W., writing. on June 23rd, 1908, says: "I used to suffer from indigestion, and existence was a burden to me. Various medicines whicn I tried affarded only temporary relief, and I despaired of finding a cure, when a lady friend urged me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup. After, using two bottles of the-Syrup the worst symptoms of my complaint were much reduced, and by the time I had taken nine bottles my recovery was complete."
