"WHEN HE FEELS OFF COLOUR."
It would, no doubt, have been wise in : Mr D. Lanham to take a complete rest on Sundays, anyway,' bub all tne more so under tho circumstances he mentions. Mr Lanham is a cooper, and for the last twenty-five years has pursued his cal'-ing in Charlotte Street, Brisbane, Queensland.. That he is known to most of the people of the city naturally follows ; for Brisbane has attained its prominence within that period. "Some seven years ago," writes Mr Lan- : ham, under date of Sept. 28, 1899, "I be-; gan for the first time m my life to suffer, trom indigestion. With it were asthmatic symptoms, although I did nob then understand that tho latter complaint is often I caused by the former. I "The combined diseases continued to I plague me for three years, and a miserable stretch of time it was. I was reluctantly obliged to give up some of my engagements, and found that after working six days 1 needed a complete rest on Sundays. "No medicines, or kind of treatment, do- ' ing me any good, I final.y concluded to see what virtue there might be in Mother Sei-. ' gel's Syrup. T had heard of it before, but ' never used it— possibly on ucount of the '■ unreasonable prejudice so widely felt ' against advertised medicines. "However, about four years ago- my attention was strongly called to it by an ac--1 quaintnnce, and I tried it, yet not with any 1 lively hope of its helping me. Neverthe- :. less, I found it extremely beneficial. It; did what no other remedy had done or eveir begun to do ; it set me right. "Nowadays I always keep Mother Seigel's Syrup m the house, and whenever I feel the approach of any of my former symptoms" 1 resort to it ; and ib never fails to give relief. "All my family use it whenever they arc ill or depressed (probably from indigestion). .One of my sons in particular, is enthusiastic in its praises, and says there is nothing like Mother Seigel's Syrup to,set him right again whenever he feels off colour. "I am an old resident of Brisbane, hay- } ing carried on iv cooperage business here for the last twenty-five years. You are at liberty to publish what I have said should you think fit to do so."— D. Lanham. "Probably from indigestion," says Mr Lanham is accounting for the feeling of mental depression. He is whofly, luminously, right. In most instances it does come from indigestion, and so do the great majority of our troubles, of mind or body. And for indigestion, in all its forms and phases, the cure is Mother Seigel's Syrup.
