AN ALARMING DISEASE AFFLICTING A NUMEROUS CLASS.

The disease commences with a slight derangement of the stomach, but, if neglected, it in time involves the whole frame, embracing the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and, in fact, the entire glandular system, and the afflicted drags out a miserable existence until death gives relief from suffering. The disease is often mistaken for other complaints $ but if the reader will ask himself the following questions, he will be able to determine whether he himself is one of the afflicted : Have I dis^ tress, pain, or difficulty in breathing after eating ? Is there a dull, heavy feeling attended by drowsiness ? Have the eyes a yellow tinge? Does a thick, sticky, mucous gather about the gums and teeth in the mornings, accompanied by a disagreeable taste ? Is the tongue coated ? Is there pain in the sides and back ? Is there a fulnes3 about the right side as if the liver were enlarging ? Is there costiveness ? Is there vertigo or dizziness when rising suddenly from a horizontal po&ition ? Are the tecretions from the kidneys scanty and highly coloured, with a deposit after standing ? Does food ferment soon after eating, accompanied by flatulence or a belching of gas from the stomach ? Is there frequent palpitation of the heart ? Those various symptoms may not be present at one tims but they torment the sufferer in turn as the dreadful disease progresses. If the case be one of long standing, there will be a dry, hacking cough, attended after a time by expectoration. In very advanced stages the skin assumes a dirty brownish appearance, and the hands and feet aro covered by a cold, sticky perspiration. As the liver

' and kidneys become more and more j diseased, rheumatic pains appear, and the j usual treatment proves entirely unavailing j against this latter agonising disorder. The ; origin of this malady is indigestion or dys- , pepsia, and a small quantity of the proper ; medicine will remove the disease if taken in i its incipiency. It is most important that the disease should be promptly and properly (treated in its first stages, when a little j medicine will effect a cure, and even when ; it haß obtained a strong hold the correct i remedy should be persevered in until every i vestige of the disease is eradicated, until ; the appetite has returned, and the diges- . tive organs restored to a health}' condition. i The surest and most effectual remedy for i this distressing complaint is "Seigel's j Curative Syrup," a vegetable preparation | cold by all Chemists and Medicine Vendors . throughout the world, and by the proi prietora, A. J. White, Limited, 17, Farf ringdon Road, London, E.G. This Syrup I strikes at the very foundation of the disease, I and drives it, root and branch, out of the system. Market Place, Pocklington, York, October 2nd, 1882. Sir, — Being a sufferer for years from dyspepsia in all its worst forms, and after j spending pounds in medicines, I was at last persuaded to try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and am thankful to say have derived more benefit from it than any other medicine I ever took, and would advise any one suffering from the same complaint to give it a trial, the results they would soon find out for themselves. If you like to make ustf of this testimonial you are quite at liberty to do so. Yours respactf ully, (Signed) R. Turner. Seigel's Operating Pills are the best family phjsic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. St Mary street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. Sir, — It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Seigel's Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia ; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, and after taking two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly, William Brent. Mr A. T. White. Hensingham, Whitehaven, Oct. 16, 1882. Mr A. J. White.— Dear Sir, I was for some time afflicted with pile 3, and was advised to give Mother Seigel's Syrup a trial, which I did. I am now happy to state that it has restored me to complete health. — I remain, yours respectfully, (Signed) John H. Lightfoot. 15th August, 1883. Dear Sir, — I write to tell you that Mr Henry Hillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts., informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years, and took no 9nd of doctor's medicine without the slightest benefit, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup, which he got from me, has saved his life. Yours truly, (Signed) N. Webb, Chemist, Calne. Mr White. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sir, — I find the sale of Seigel's Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues; one customer describes it as a " Godsend to dyspeptic people." I always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed), Vincent A. Wills, Chemist-dentist. Merthyr-Tydvil. To Mr A. J. White. Preston, September 21st, 1883. My Dear Sir, — Your Syrup and Pills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said "Mother Seigel" had saved the life of his wife, and he added 3 " One of these bottles I am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it." The sale keeps up wonderfully ; in fact, one would fancy almost that the people were beginning to breakfast, dine and sup on Mother Seigel's Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker. To A. J. White, Esq. 6543
