FARMER OAK AND THE STORM.

When fanner 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 g!i»tening streak across his table, which terminated in a 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 cottage 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 saved. 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 kr.ew that the Syrnp was on the way to cure her as snrely 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 which a small rjuantity of Seigel's Syrup effected in mr case, afrer several medical men had prescribed for .sue in vain. " From 1897 until two months ago (the •date of Mrs Green's letter is December 3rd. 1900), I endured a continual , s agor.y of sleapless nights, racking headaches,'*tiredsnd languid feelings and nasty choking sensations in the throat. A great deal of Jky time was spent in bed, as I was quite unable to get abppfr."

to live. They exist merely. Like prisoners confined in a dungeon or who are given liberty conditionally upon their 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, whether he be fanner or prime minister, will eventually have to take to bed" as did Mrs Green in this instance. 'T 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 dvspeptic troubles, called upon me, and strongly urged me to try this remedv. " 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. "I am a native of Auckland, and wellcnown here, where I have been in busies jot nine years." (Mrs) Annie Green, dt. 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 which 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. Ijack of appetite, heart 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 .Ijke so jjany branches of a genealogical tree, and spring from the one great evil, Indigestion.
