PARMER OAK AND THE STORM. When farmer Oak, on his way towards his humble cottage one night, struck his foot against a big toad, he knew there was trouble in the wind. When, on striking a light indoors, he observed a thin glistening streak across his table, which terminated uTa large brown garden slug, he knew again the Great Mother was warning him. And when, last of all, two black spiders dropped from the thatched roof of his cettage to find a safer home on the floor, he sat down and meditated how the coming great thunderstorm would affect the wheat-ricks and barley stacks, and what might be aaved. There are signs which are as unmistakeable in their significance as the turned thumbs of the Romans in the days of the amphitheatre. In the case, of Mrs Green, where first one symptom disappeared, after a dose or_two of Seigel's Syrup, and then another, this lady knew that the Syrup was on the way to cure her as surely as she lived. " As I suffered for about three years from most acute indigestion," she writes, "it gives me great pleasure to testify to the complete cure wnich a small quantity of Seigel's Syrup effected in my case, after several medical 'men had prescribed for

" From 1897 until two months ago (the date of Mrs Green's letter is December 3rd, 1900), I endured a continual agony of sleepless nights, racking headaches, tired and languid feelings and nasty choking sensations in the throat. A great deal of my time 1 was spent in bed, as I was quite unable to get about." Cynical men and women sometimes propound the query, Is life worth living? The fact is, many-people don't know how to live. They exist merely. Like prisoners confined in a dungeon or who are given liberty conditionally upon tneir dragging a weight about. Perfect health is the first necessity of a happy life. Torpid livers, constipated 'motions, anaemic disorders, skin affections and uric acid troubles render life unbearable. The victim, whefher he be farmer or prime minister, will eventually have to take to bed" as did Mrs Green in this instance. "I had been in bed four weeks," she continues, "when a friend who is a firm believer in Seigel's Curative Syrup for all forms of dyspeptic troubles, called upon me, and strongly urged me to try this remedy. " I confess I was sceptical, but my friend insisted, and gave me a bottle to commence with. I got immediate relief from this, and before the bottle was empty the distressing symptoms had nearly every one disappeared. "I purchased another bottle myself and that completed the cure. lam now in perfect health. Naturally, I consider the effect of Seigel]s Syrup in my case marvellous. It changed me from an invalid and dyspeptic of three years' standing into a healthy woman. "P am a native of Auckland, and wellcnown here, where I have been in busiless jor nine years." (Mrs) Annie Green, St. George's Hall Buildings, Great North Road, Auckland, N.Z. Farmer Oak could foretell a thunderstorm from signs that he had been taught to read by long experience, and years of study enable me to set down here signs of a condition wh'cb if not cured, will bring about a collapse of your system. If any of the _ following symptoms are troubling you. secure a. bottle of Seigel's Syrup at once, and follow the directions for taking it. Lack of appetite, heirt palpitation, pains in the chest, back, head, and sides, flatulency, low and depressed spirits, nerve and neuralgic pains, anaemia, pains in the kidneys, rheumatism, gout and sciatica, gravel or stone, a cutting pain between the shoulders, weak eyesight, constipation and headaches.- so-called "decline," counterfeit heart disease,' great mental distress. These disorders are .l;ke so nmny branches of a genealogical tree, and spring from the one great evil, Indigestion.
