FARMER OAK AND THE STORM.

When farmer Oak, an his way towcrcts his humble cottage one night, struck his foot against a big toad, he knew there was trouble in the wind. When, on ■Hiking a light indoors, he observed a thin glistening atreak across his table, which terniluated in a large brown gar* den slog, he knew again that the Great Mother was warning him. And when, last of all, two black spiders dropped from the thatched roof of bis cottage, to find a safer home on the floor, he sat down and meditated how the coming great thunderstorm would affect the wheat-Hoks and barley stacks, and what might b« saved. There .are signs which are as unmistakable in their significance as the tnrned thumbs of the Romans in the &%y» e>i the amphitheatre. In the case of Mrs Green, where first one symptom disappeared, after a dose or two of Seigel's Syrup, and then another, this lady knew that the Syrup was on the way to cure her as surely as she lived.

'As 1 suffered for about three years from moat acute indigestion,' she writes, ' it gives me great pleasure to testify to tbe complete oure which a small quantity ot Seigftl'aOarative Syrup eff oled in my case, after several medical men had prescribed for me in vain. '

'From 1897 cntil about two monthß ago (the date of Mrs Green's letter is DecembervsSrd, 1900 ) I endured a coctinaal<»gony ot sleepless nights, racking hemdmoherpblred-madrfAaguid feelings and nasty choking aeneattonn in the throat. A great deal of my time was spent in bed, as 1 was quite unable to get about.' Cynic*! .men and women sometim' s propound the query, Is life worth living 1 The fact is, mauy people don't know how to live. They exist merely. Like prisoners confined in a dnngeon or who are given liberty conditionally upon their dragging a weight about. Pei fed health is the first necessity of a happy life. Torpid livers, cousiipated motions, acnmic disorders, skin affections and uric aoid troubles, render life unbearable. The victim, whether he be farmer or prime minister, will eventually have to take to bed as did Mrs Green in this instance.

' I bad been in bed four weeks/ she continues, ' when a friend who is a firm believer in Seigel's Curative Syrup for all forms t>f dyspeptic troubles called upon me, and strongly nrged me to try this remedy. ' I confess 1 was sceptical, bat my friend insisted and gave me a bottle to commence with. I got immediate relief from this, and before the bottle was empty the distressing symptoms^ bad nearly every one. disappeared.

•I purchased another bottle myaelf.and that completed the core. lam now in perfect health. Naturally, I consider the effect of Seigel's Syrup ia my case marvelluoß. It changed me from an iaVali<3 and dyspeptic of three years' standing, into a woman. ' I am a native ef Auckland and well known here, where I have been in business for Dine years.' .(Mrs) Annie Green, St. George's Hall Buildings, Great North Road, Auckland, N Z

Farmer Oak could foretell a thunderstorm from signs that he bad been taught to read by long experience, aud years of study eaable me to set down here signs of a condition, which, if not cured, will bring about a collapse of your system. If any of the following By mp torn a are troubling yon, secure a bottle of Seigel'e Syrtip at onoe, and follow the dirtctions lor taking it.

These disotders are like so many .branches of a genealogcaJ tree, and opting from the one great evil, Indigestion.
