A CURIOUS THEORY ABOUT EARTHQUAKES.

i "The cause of earthquakes, is sin!" This is the way a areat preacher explained these terrifying convulsions _of the earth. Just fancy the destruction of Messina and Iteggio as resulting from violation of moral law. It is more likely that''- a good deal ofV sin results from earthquakes. But Hannah More, the great authoress, came pretty close to the truth when she said, "The cause of a deal of sin, iebile!" That bit of wisdom and opinion ivo can understand easily. , Bile poisons the blood—and poisoned, impure blood poisons l the brain. The brain is the organ of the mind and seuses.

All the earthquakes that ever shook this wicked world have not done ... as much harm to human beings :as, is done every year by sleepy stomachs and lazy livers. Generals have lost battles, workmen have lost good jobs, husbauds and. wives Jave quarrelled- becuse of "a touch_«;£ liver; complaint." That ugly force-called biliousness could "break up a majority in the House of Commons;." .... .; .■■■;■ : ;■

"From my youth I was afflicted with poor health and suffered much from indigestion and Asthma. The asthma was> particularly bad in the hot steamy weather that- prevails in Queensland in the summer rainy, season. My breathing was so difficult that 1 felt like suft'oestion. I feared going to bed: at night, and had to sleep propped up by pillows. ' The Indigestion also caused me a lot ofV suffering. /The little food I was able to eat caused mo much pain and distress.' The illness gradually increased on me. I became very weak and emaciated, and I was subject to fits of depression and nervousness.

"I tried, a lob of: different'--medicines and treatments, but nothing gave me any real relief' until, about two years buck, I took Mother Seigel's Syrup. . I was m a very bad'way indeed at the , time, but a few doses eased my chest,, and in a few days I began to breathe freely and to sleep without the usual choking sensations. My appetite miproved; all the distressing symptoms of Indigestion decreased, and I felt stronger and better. In quite a short time i was quite freed from my nlu ailments. I shall always use Mother Seigel's Syrup when I need medicine. Extract "from letter of Mr William Law, 408, Ann street, Brisbane, Q.. Whatever in-iy bo the natural cause of earthquakes, there can be no doubt about the upheaval that Biliousness tud Indigestion cause in. the human system. Nor is there any doubt that Mother Seigel's Syrup will cure disorders and at the same time rid thj sufferer of constipation, flatulence, dizziness, and all.'.ho attendant miseries. It is a purely herbal medicine, and tones up and strengthens all the organs of digestion.
