They Sport With Human Life.

Fll give you the plain facta in the case, and you shall help me to judge whether there was a mistake made or not. Ie seems that Borne time in 1889 — in the winter, no doubt — Mr Strong, of Leicester, was t-ken down with influenza, often called the grip; and truly a strong grip it has when it once takes a hold. Well, lam glad to say he waa able to fight out the battle ft: d kg. the best of it. Bu. the best wasn't anything ti brag of. The influenza hadn't exactly beaten Mr Strong, bat it left him in very bad condition. And here is where you and I properly pick up the thread of the story. His meals didn't tempt him; the most savoury of dishes had no charms for our friend. He had lost his appetite, and in the long run a man had better lose h.3 money. He forced down something, of course, but it gave him such a pain in the chest that he wished he hadn't swallowed a mouthful. Then, naturally, he got so weak and nervous he couldn't .sleep 0' nights. This, as everybody knows, is the straight road to the graveyard; through the madhouse. Lots of people are making that trip all the time. We must eat and we must sleep. If we don't we are done for. Neuralgic pains, too, made matters worse for Mr Strong. He saw a dector, and what did the doctor do ? This is what the patient Bay. on that point : " This doctor gave me all hinds of strengthening medicines, but none of them did me any good, and I continued to suffer for month after month.' Ju9t what we might have fxpeefced. Mr Strong further Bajs: "In October, 1890, my friend, Mr James Webster, of 28, New Walk, Leicester, advised me to try a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I followed his advice. The first bottle gave me great relief, and I began to digest my food and to have an appetite , and after I had used three bottles I wa. quite another man. I was completely cured. All my aches and pains lefc me; my strength returned, and I have been all right ever Bince. What astonished me was that the Syrup cured me so quickly, and I Bhall never cease thanking Mr Webster for making it known to me. You are at liberty to publish my case for the benefit of others. Tours truly (Signed), W. Steong, 41, East Street, Leicester, December 30th, 1891." Now, was there a niiat-ke in thia matter, and if so, what was it ? Yes, there was a common mistake made. It is an old and seemingly hopeless blunder. "The doctor," says Mr Strong, "gave me all kinds of strengthening medicines." Open wide your ears and remember what I'm "going to tell you now; remember it for the hour of your own helplessnees and pain : There isno such thing as strengthening medicine, neither in the earth nor in the waters which are under the earth. This is the truth; all the high-class doctors know it. As for the others— well, there ! the less said about them the better. Mr Strong took "strengthening medicines," and what happened to him ? Why, he "continued to suffer month after month." Did you ever see a horse made stronger and fatter by spurs and lashwhips ? leaving off the oats and hay ? I think you have not. And that is what "strengthening medicines" do, and all they do. So-called tonics are like making a eick man walk far and fast by kicking him at every other step. Nothing under the sun but digested food imparts strength; nodru? ever doee. And herein is the perpetual success and victory of Mother Seigel's Syrup ; it cleanses the system of disease-poison and leaves Nature sweet and free. The stomach then cries, " Feed me," and so power and health come back like the green gras3 after a shower. Do you see? Mother Seigel proclaims, "I destroy disease!" Nature responds, " Only do that, and I can take care of myself." The disease is indigestion nnd dyspepsia. Mr Strong bad it and was badly treated. Should you have it, try the Syrup first— not laßt, for I have told you why. Experience. London, Maroh, 1892.
