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 chest 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 lite a heavy load on the stomach ; sometimes a faint allgone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hands and feet become cold and feel clammy. After a while a cough sets in, at* first dry, but after a few months it is attended with a greenishcolored expectoration. The afflicted one feels tired all the while, and sleep does not seem to afford any rest. After a time he becomes nervous, irritable, and gloomy, . and has evil forebodings. There is a giddiness, a sort of whirling sensation in the head when rising up suddenly. The bowels become costive; the skin is dry and tho at times ; the blood becomes thick and stagnant ; the whites of, the eyes . become tinged with yellow ; the urine is scanty and" high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequntly ea spitting up of the food, sometimes with a Bour taste, and sometimes with a sweetish taste ; this is frequently attended with palpitation of the heart ; the vision becomes- impaired with spots before the eyes ; there 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 cemplaint, 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 ! same time. Seigel's Curative Syrup acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost immediate relief. The following letters from chemists of standing in the community where they live show in what estimation the article is held. Wholesale agents, Kempthorne. Prosser, & Co. 's New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Dunedin, Ohristchurch, Wellington, and Auckland. Geo. A. Webb, 141, York-street, Belfast.—l have sold a large quantity, and the parties have testified to its being what you represent it. Thomas Chapman, West Auckland.— l find that the trade steadily increases. I sell more of your medicines than any other kind. Robt. Lame, Melksham. — I can well recommend the Curative Syrup,,from having proved its efficacy for indigestion myself. John Archer, Harthill, 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. The sale is increasing wonderfully. Jos. Balkwill, A.P.S., Kingsbridge.— The public seem to appreciate their value. Robert G. Gould, 27, High-street, Andover. — I have always taken a great interest in your medicines, and I have recommended them, as I have found numerous cases of cure from their use. J. S. Metcalfe, 55, Highgate, Kendal. — I have always great pleasure in recommending the Curative Syrup, for I have never known a case in which it has not relieved or cured, and I have sold many grosses. Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarshire, September 23rd. 1882. Dear Sir,— Last year I sent you a letter recommending Mother Seigel's Syrup. 1 have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony to the very satisfactory results of the famed Syrup and Pills. Most patent medicines die out with me, but Mother Seigel has had a steady sale ever since I commenced, and is still in as great a demand as when I first began to sell the medicine. The cures which have come under my no dee are chiefly those of liver complaint and general debility. A certain minister in my neighborhood 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 length of time. I could mention also a great many other r cases, but space would not allow. A near Ffriend of mine, who is very much addicted i 3 costiveness, or constipation, finds that Mother Seigel's Pills are the only pills which suit his complaint. All other pills cause a reaction which is very annoying. Mother Seigel's Pills do not leave a bad after-effect. I have much pleasure in commending again to suffering humanity Mother Seigel's medicines, which are no sham. If this letter is of any service you can.publish it. — Tours very truly, (Signed) Weqmam S. Glass, A. J, White, Esq. Chemist. 15th August, 1883. Dear Sir, — I write to tell you that Mr Henry flillier, of Yatesbury, Wilts, informs me that he suffered from a severe form of indigestion for upwards of four years,, and took no end of doctor's medicine without the 9#ghtest benefit;, and declares Mother Seigel's Syrup which he got from me has saved his life. — Yours' truly (Signed) N. Webb, __Mr White. Chemist, Calne.
