THEY MUSI AGREE.
. As to matters that have no practical outcome it is of no consequence whether we agree or not. The earth may be, as some say it is, a moiten mass (save for a shell a few miles thick on the outside), or it may be solid..and .cool all, the way ihrough from London to Sydney. However ii may be we can do nothing about it. So let the scieniifio chaps go , on, speculating to their heart's content; the world will kreep revolving as ! usual, and jro-fIM have' to .-'continue picking up our living from its surface. ' Recently ill: my reading I have, come upon articles in- certain medical; journal B—uncanny, uninteresting' pub-' lications, that they are, for non-profes-_ sional perusal—going to show that it is not-tho heart which .impels, the blood through the body,' 'but the chemical action of oxygen inhaled by the lungs. > ■ ; ■•: :
Yet what odds would it make? None whatever. Fair women would blush" by the help of the capillaries as of old, and we should tie rags around cut fingers just the same.- It follows,, my brethren, that some things may be mysteries to the end of the chapter, and no harm done, and others may differ without disturbing the serenity of our passing days—a most soothing reflection.
But the advantage or otherwise ;of a person's food agreeing or disagreeing with him is not a mere matter of opinion. There is only one way to look at that. As a whole food musf agree with us, and we with it, or we are ruined. A lady of Sheffield, Mrs. S. A. Smith, suffered a long, wearisome and costly illness, simply because her food failed to agree with her. For three years she was weak and wretched on account of itrThe light arid pleasure went'out of her, life. She needed to eat, of course, just as she needed to-breathej yet, after every meal—commonly of light things taken in small quantities, and slowly—she was immediately seized with pains in the stomach, the chest and the left side. Was not this a hard recompense for doing what nature compelled her to do—to eat?
Any act which causes pain is performed as seldom as possible, and as Incompletely. For who wants to suffer?
Eating so little—nou naif as much as her body called for—Mrs. Smith lost flesh and strength. Necessarily. Draw more money out of the bank than you deposit and presently the bank returns' your cheques marked "no funds." To be sure. Nobody can make twice two equal five,
"I got to be so feeble I could scarcely get about,' says, the lady. "I was like this for three years from the spring of 1893—being worse in the spring than at other seasons, What to do more than I had done I didn't know, when one day my aunt, Mrs. William Andrew, of Willoughton, urged me to take Mother? Seigel's iSyrup.» After having done so for a short time the complaint—indigestionwas better, and soon it wholly disappeared. I am now entirely cured and strong and hearty as I was before my illness came upon me. You may rest assured that, 1 after so fortunate an experience with Mother Seigel's Syrup, I recommended it to all my friends, and in sending you this short statement it is my wish that you should print it for the good of others if you so desire."—(Signed) S. Ai Smith, .44 Ditchingham road, Sheffield, June 3, 1898. "In April of this year (1898)," says another, "my health began to fail. • I felt drowsy-and tiredwith the least exertion. After every, meal I had oppression at the ohest and sides, and a great deal of pain; Whatever food I took disagreed with me, and I- grew weak. I am a dressmaker, and when at my work I had so great pain 1 cjould hardly bear it. I tried all the usual medicines for indigestion, but got worse and worse.- One day in July I read about Mother Seigel's Syrup, and got a bottle of Mr. Hattersley, chemist, West India Dock raid, and in a few days felt better. After taking a second bottle I was cured, and have been well ever since."—(Signed) Miss Minnie Wyatt, 46 West India Dock road, London, E./October, 14, 1898.' " . Tes, it iB true, health, and life depend on a perfect agreement between ourselves and our food; 1 This is not a matter of opinion. It is a vital and living relationship, and nothing does so much to promote the agreement as the frequent and timely use of Mother Seigel's Syrup,
