COMFORT FOR THE OLD FOLKS.

Suppose the wheels of Time could suddenly be reversed, and w.j could, in an instant, go back to the year 1814. Why, man, you wouldn't recocniso England. You woulah't know how to speak, what to do, or iiow to understand the things around you. You would be as completely lost as though you were whisked away and dropped on the planet Jupiter. You would find no railways, no telegraphs, no running water in the City houses, and mighty few of the houses themselves that are now standing. Between 1814 and 1894 the difference is as great as between 1814 and 1600. Yes, and greater. Yet a lady who was born in 1814 writes us the following letter. She says: — "In the early part of 1884 I commenced to feel weak and ailing. My appetite was bad, and after meals I had an aching pain in the chest and a most uncomfortable feeling in the stomach. My mouth tasted hadlc, ;md I spat up a sour sickening lluid. I was much troubled with wind, belching it. up frequently. It was about, a.ll I omild do to get around here and there in the house. li A woman that I knew told me of a n:edic:ne that she said had done her a, great deal of go:)d ; she called it Mother Seigel's Curativo Syrup. She said it would no doubt do as much for me. On hearing this I sent and got a bottle from Mr F. Darnell's, grocer and draper, in Linton, and began to take it. lam glad, to say that in a very short time I felt much better. The bad symptoms I have spoken of went away, and soon I was as strong and hearty as I had been before the trouble came on me. "I am eighty years of age, and enn do almost kind of work easily and with comfort. I owe it to Mother Seigel's Syrup, and by taking an occasional dose when I feel ailing it has kept me in. good health for ten years. I recommend the Syrup to all my friends, and if bv: printing my letter in the papers you think other persons— especially those who are advanced in life— may come to hear of tl:e Syrup and use it, I shall be very pleased to have you do so. (Signed) Mrs Ann Woollett, Wheeler's Lane, Linton, near Maidstone. Jan. 16, 1894." \\e do think Mrs Woollett' s letter will do f 1 00d ' and so you find it printed here. Now, there are a great many old people in this country, some of them perhaps even older than she. And they need a gentle and ffood medicine like Mother Seigel's Syrup, um age is a time when life is apt to seem a heavy thins; to bear, particularly if there lH ffi ° re , or ]«s pain or illness.
