PLUMP AGAINST A BIG FACT.

It is not properly any part of my husin*** to enforce lessons in ethics; therefore I coxa* monly leave that responsible task to those whose vocation it is But no man can contuaually write on the subject which constitutes the burien of. these essays without now and then running plump against a mighty fast in morals, If you will he good enough to retd the following short letters I will try. to show . why I was moved to speak as I have spoken. “My daughter Annie Jane," writes that young girls mother" now five years of age wa* a fins healthy child up to March, 1891, when she began to sicken and fall away. She had no appetite and every particle of food, she took came up. She lost strengih rapiolr and within a fo’tnight she was as thin as a rake being not much'else than skin and bone. For days and navs she laid in a half-conscious condition, scarcely moving hand or foot and to all appearance lifeless. I had a doctor attending her for four weeks, and he raid the child waa suffering from indigestion, yet so faras wa could see his treatment had no effect. My husband and i,and all that saw the poor b-by thought she was slowly dying and we were almost heart-broken at the thought of losing her. ' Nothing that we gave her did the slightest good and the child was fading awav when one day towards the end of April, « lady called, an i after seeing Annie Jane, advised us to use Mother Seifie-s Syrup.- She said she had known the lives »f many children saved by this med* cine whe were d wn with the same con plaint I hurried to get a bottle from Mr Knotty, the chemist in Susan’s Road and began giving it in small do-e*. In less than tweiny-four hours .the child begsnto eat. the sickness stopped and we could see a change for the better. We kept on giving the , Syrup, and in two weeks Annie was wall aa ever and fast getting her flesh Smoa that time—now four years ago—she has never been ill. We consider that Mother Geiger* Syrup saved her bfe. You can publish this statement and refer anyone to me. (Signed) Mrs Annie Alexander, 35 Melbourne Road, Eastbourne August Ist;, 1895. “ Mv son Joseph," writes Mr Joseph Bond, of Salter’s Green, Mayfield SusßoX,"waß nsver strong. He didn >t come on like other children. He was weak, sickly, and puny. He ate but little, and was usually in puin until he vomited most of it up again. Nothing gave him sirength. In February, 1894, hie feet and ankles boga,- to fester. Next three abscesses formed on his neojt and under the chin, making deep holes. He was merelv skin and bone. The abscesses seemed to be exhausting hie life’s blood. He was in a doctor’s care five months, but got no better. From July (1894) he had four months’ treatment at the Tunbridge Wells Hospital, without benefit. The doctors gave him medicines and cod-liver* oil, but nothing strengthened him. “In December 1894 I concluded to taka the case into my own hands, and gave him a medicine that had cured my wife—Mother Seigel’e Syrup. To our astonishment and delight he began to improve in a few days. He could eat, and was stronger for it. We kept giving him the Syrup, and ho grow better every day. The abscesses soon healed j and he is now a fine healthy boy, nine years old, and strong for the first time since he was born. Publish this loiter if you wish and refer inquiries to me. (Signed) Joseph Bond, July 26th. 1895.” . What now is that mighty fact in marawr Ask yourself the question. What justice was there in the suffering of those two little children? Foi whose sake was it? Why do the majority of the human race die in infancy and childhood? That bundle of laws and force* called “ nature ’’ has no pity, no mercy. Obey and live ; disobey and perish’ that’* the whole story. 1 hen how does Mother Seigel’s Syrup cure? It cures oy bringing the diseased and suffering body back where nature’s hand - can reach it. Jf puts the derailed coach back on the metals it re-launches the stranded ship. The radical trouble of both Annie Alexander and Joseph Bond was of the digestion the first (a mere babv thoi) having been seized withacule indigestion, sndthe boy having, ns his father tells us. been bom with a weak stomach. Hence in his case the bud blood and the abcesscs by which nfiiture sought (o >emove it. Will

parents lake waning from tnese instance*. I hope so. Watch the Util* ones and Use Mother Weigel’ a whenever you see them inclined todrooporlaneuish.
