THREE PHASES OF LIFE.

At birth we respire, at twenty- five •■pin, at eighty expire. This ia the beginning, the sum, and tbe end of us, ac cording to the phUoaophic mind of Hngo. H« atata* fh« phenomena of life tersely, and with th« touch and meaning of a master. That ia all right for those who - an 4a a frame of mind to philosophise. ? The -panorama of life is one thing ; its detail and analyaia quite another. The greater queation ia : How are you . living t How am I existing ? That con- '■ oarna va more. There is a vaat difference between living and existing. It ia the difference between health, strength, happiness, aspiration and power in whatever bumble sphere we work, and the endurance, the anguish, the pain and misery of bodily anVotton. Nature fashioned ua all (o be healthy. She did more; »he secieted roots and herbs in her fielda and forests to assist some of ua to maintain thiß health, or regain it when loat. There ia a gentleman living at 373, Bourke Street, Sydney, whose interesting atory illustrates this in a practical, com- , monaenae way. 'Six years ago,' he writes, 'my health broke down badly. My appetite -got to be fickle and uucertain ; then- Jailed entirely. What 1 forced myaelf to a wallow did me but small good/ In faot it often gave me auoh discomfort and distress that I actually dreaded to ait down t« table. ' After a while my stomach and other digestive organs became so upset and disordered that I was practically forced to live— or rather exist— on a diet of slops, gruel, weak broths, etc., and even these things^ occasioned me considerable pain and inconvenience. Medical treatment 'did me no good whatever. ♦ From time to time I tried all sorts of medicines that were recommended to me, or that I saw advertised, but with no better results. I became so debilitated that my relatives thought I was going into a decline. In truth E was fearfully thin and wasted. At this stage of my trouble a friend said I ought to try Seigel's Syrup. He made the strongest kind of a point of it, and' pressed the idea upon me. I yielded, and it was the best investment I ever made. ' I began taking the medicine without faith, as I was sceptical as to the virtues of drugs and physics in general, but before I had taken half-a-dczm doses I found I was on the right track at last. 4 In short, I persevered with the Syrup, taking it strictly according to the directions, and it speedily alleviated and ultimately cured my complaint. I used in all four bottles, and while still on the fourth I felt myself a new man. I could eat well, sleep well, and work well ; and once more laugh and enjoy myself to the full. More than this what does any man want?— what more can the world give him!

'As to the thoroughness and permanence of the care there can be no doubt, us what I have related took place over five yean ago, and since then I have remained in good health with the exception of trifling ailments unworthy of mention. ' Other members of our family — notably my sister Emma Lillian, who lias sent you her own account of her case — have derived signal benefit from the use of the Syrup, and can tell their stories fot them■elves. We always keep a bottle in the hoase, and whenever any of us feel out of sorts, hipped, or seedy, wa take a dose or two and it never fails to give the needed relief. ' In concuslon, I can honestly and conscientiously recommedn Seigel's Syrup to any persons who may be suffering from a weak stomach, impaired digestion, chronic dyspepsia or kindred complaints as a ' remedy -that will really accomplish all that ia claimed for it.' — (Signed) William James Edward Fisher, 373, Bourke St., DarlinghurV, Sydney, June 26 : b, 1901. Seigel's Syrup is made i>f eighteen natural ingredients, each of which is a product of the soil. Its curative properties are derived from roots and herbs in scientific combination, and its healiny action has been acknowledged in all civilised parts of the world during tbe past 33 years. Kept handy for occasional use, it keeps the body strong and the functions active. This is the w£y to resist diseases, to avoid the daily miseries which take the snap and go out of life. There ia a- difference between living and existing — as Mr Fisher relates.
