WHAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US?

Like a thief at night it steals in upon us unawares. Many persons have pains about the chcsfc and sides, and sometimes in the back. They feel ■dull and sleepy ; the mouth has a bad taste, ■especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime •collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy load on the stomach; sometimes a faint all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The w-eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold Vand feel clammy. After a -while a cough sets in -■at first dry, but after a few months it is attended -with a greenish, coloured expectoration. The • afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep ■does not seem to afford any rest. After a time •lie becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a «ort of whirling sensation in the head'- when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive ; the skin is dry and hot at times ; the blood becomes thick and stagnant ; the whites of the eyes 'become tinned with yellow, the urine is scanty and high-coloured, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up of the food, sometimes with a sour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste ; this is feequently attended with palpitation of the heart ; the vision becomes impaired with spots before the eyes ; fliers is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought that nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some of its varied forms. It has been found that medical men have mistaken the nature of this disease. Some have treated it for a liver complaint, others for kidney disease, etc., etc., but none of the various kinds -of treatment have been attended with success, because the remedy should be such as ,to act harmoniously upon each one of these ■ organs, and upon the stomach as well ; for in .Dyspepsia (for this is really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and -require a remedy that will act upon all at the ssame time. Seigel's Curative Syrup acts like a vcharni in this class of complaints, giving almost iimmediate relief. The following letters from of standing in the coommunity where 4he live show in. what estimation the article is lield. — Wholesale agents, Kernpthorne, Prosser and Co.'s New Zealand Drug Co., Limited, Dunvedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland. "Robt. G. Grould, 27, High-streefc, Andorer :— 1 Lave always taken a great interest in your medicines, and I have recommended them, as I Lave found numerous cases of cure from their use. Thomas Chapman, West Auckland : — I find ■thab the trade steadily increases. . I sell more •of your medicines than any other kind. N. Darroll, Clun, Salop : — All who buy it are and recommend it. ■* Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S., Kingsbridge :— The seem to appreciate their great value. A. Armstead, Market-street, Dalton-in-Fur-ness-. — It is needless for me to say that your valuable medicines have great sale in this district — greater than any other I know of, giving .great satisfaction. Robt. Lame, Melksham : — I can well recom■mend the Civrative Syrup from having proved its -efficacy for indigestion myself. John Archer, Horthill, near Sheffield : — I can confidently recommend it to all who may be suffering from liver or stomach complaints, having the testimony of my customers, who have •derived great benefit from the Syrup and Pills. "3?he sale is increasing wonderfully. Geo. A. Webb, 141, York-street, Belfast :— I liave sold a large quantity, and .the parties have to its being what you represent it. J. S. Metcalfe, 55, Highgate, Kendal : — I :3iave grest pleasure in recommending the Curative Syrup, for I have never known a ease in •which it has Jnot relieved or cured, and I have -sold many grosses. Frockheim, Arbroath, Forfashire, September 23, 1882. Dear Sir, — Last year I sent you a letter recomamending Mother Seigel's Syrup. I have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony to the very satisfactory results of the famed Syrup and Pills. Most patent i»iedieines die out with me, Q>ub Mother Siegel has had a steady sale ever since I commenced, and is still in as great ■demand as when I first began to sell the medi'Cine. The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver complaint and general debility. A certain minister in my neighbourhood says it is the only thing which has benefited him and restored him to his normal condition of health ••after being unable to preach for a considerable Jength of time. I could mention also a great many other cases, but space would not allow. A near friend of mine, who is very much addicted 'to costiveness, or constipation, finds that Mother Siegel's Pills are the only Pills which suit his •complaint. All other Pills cause a reaction "Tvvhich is very annoying. Mother Siegel's Pills sctanot leave a bad after-effect. I have much pleasure in commending again to suffering humanity Mother Siegel's medicises, which are no sham. If -this letter is of any service you can •publish it. Yours very truly, (Signed) William S. Glass, Chemist. A. J. White, Esq. August 15, 1883. Dear Sir, — I write to tell you that Mr Henry Eillior, of Yuteahury, Hilts, informs me that he suffered Iroin a severe form of indigestion for ot four years, and took no end of medicine without the slightest benefit and declares Mother Siegel's Syrup which he got from mo has saved his life. Yours truly, (Signed) N. Webb, Mr White. „ Chemist, Calne.
