WHAT AN ATHLETE SUFFERED FROM ACUTE. INDIGESTION. i_ MOTHER SEIGEL'S SYRUP CUREDHIM.

"I had led an active outdoor life up to the time I received a clerical appointment'in the Government service," says Mr John Kelly, in a letter to the proprietors of Mother -Siegel's Syrup, dated Sept-ember 20th, 1905. " I had some; reputation as an amateur athlete, an£ my health had always been good," continues Mr Kelly; "but when-I had spent" two years in the General Post Office>, I began to suffer from indigestion. " Rightly or wrongly, I believe my illness was due to confinement indoors. -.My weight declined to 9 stone 4 pounds—a great- falling off. My friends thought- I was n-oing into consumption, and I feared that they° were, right. Everything I ate, no matter what the nature of the food; was soon followed by terrible pains at my chest. There was frequent pain, too, at my back, between the shoulder blades, with* headache, sickness, and a general feeling of unfitness." IN SEARCH OP A REMEDY.

"I took professional advice and faithhilly followed it; but with no good result- Then I engaged in all kinds of physical exercise-; but I soon found that my last- health was not to be regaihed that way. Next, I tried various medicines—but all, alike, failed to relieve me of the pains of indigestion. "In proof that a man may sometimes be doing good work when he thinks he is idling, one day I was thoughtlessly turning over the leaves of a booklet containing accounts of cures effected by Mother .Seigel's Syrup, I became interested and was at. last so much impressed that 1 bought a bottle of that medicine. " The effect of Mother Seigel's syrup upon me was better than I had dared hope for. When I had finished the second , bottle, my appetite had returned. Continuing its use, the painful symptoms'of my complaint- gradually abated, and my weight increased daily. By the time I had used eight bottles. I weighed 14 stone 6 pounds, and my health was perfect. - " I have no need for medicine now, but I keep a bottle of Mother .Seigel's Syrup in the house in case I should again have onv indigestion." —J-ohn Kelly, 37, Church Street, Hawthorn, Victoria. On the 18th November, 1907, Mr. Kelly reported to us that his health continued entirely satisfactory.

If you suffer from Indigestion, as did Mr Kelly, take Mother .Seig-el's Syrup and take it now ! Take it regularly. Take it as conscientiously as you would take medicine specially prescribed for you by some celebrated physician—and it will cure you.
