THE BOTTOM PRINCIPLE.

Nothing’ ‘merely happens so.' Always keep that faet where you can see it. Whatsoever comes to pass has an adequate cause right behind it. I don’t say this as though it were a new discovery. Not a bit. It is the bottom principle of all knowledge. Hut we are apt to forget it—that’s the point; we forget it, and so have a lot of trouble there’s no need to have. Here is Miss Esther May, whom we are glad to hear from, and to know. In the matters set forth in her short letter she speaks, not for herself only, but for two-thirds of the women in England. ‘ln July, 1890,’ she says. ‘1 had an attack of influenza, which left me in a weak, exhausted condition. I felt languid and tired. Everything was a trouble to me. The good' appetite that is natural to me was gone; and when I did take a little food it gave me a dreadful pain in the ehest. There was also a strange sensation in my stomach. I felt a.s if I had eaten too much when perhaps I had scarcely eaten anything. ‘ 1 hen, after a time, I began to have a dry, hacking cough, and to break out in cold, clammy sweats. Not very long afterwards my ankles began to puff up and swell.’ so that when I stood on my feet it was very painful. ‘1 gradually got worse, and worse. r I he medicines given me by the doetors seemed to have no effect. I lost flesh, like one in consumption, and I feared 1 should never be any better. ‘ln March, 1893, a gentleman told me about Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and said he believed it. would help me. Although I had no faith in it 1 sent for the Syrup and began taking it. One bottle relieved me and gave me some appetite. I ate and enjoyed my food as I had not done for years. I gained strength every day. ‘I am now as healthy and hearty as I ever was in my life, and I owe it to Mother Seigel's Syrup.—(Signed) Esther May, Buckingham Hoad, Nori I.fleet. Kent, September Sth, 1893.’ ‘ln the spring of 1887,’ writes another correspondent, ‘my wife got into a low state of health. She complained at first of feeling tired and weary . and could not do her work as usual. Her month tasted badly; she couldn’t eat; and she had a ileal of pain in her ehest and back. ‘Later on her legs began to swell, and soon the swelling extended to her body. With all this her strength failed more anil more, until she could just go about the house in a feeble fashion, and that was all. No medical treatment did more than to relieve her. as yon may say. for the moment. ’This was her condition when Mother Seigel's Syrup first came under our notice. We read of it in a book that was left at our house. After she had taken the Syrup only a few days she was decidedly better. And, to conclude, by a faithful use of the medicine the swelling went down, her appetite came back, and she was soon as well and strong as ever. Seeing what the Syrup had done for my wife, I began to take it for indigestion and dyspepsia, which had troubled me for years; and it completely cured me. — (Signed) J. Heath, Orotava House, Alpha. Hoad, Cambridge, June 15th, 1893.' We were speaking of nothing happening without a cause. Tin' cause of all the suffering of these two women was one anil the same—indigestion and dys|M-psia. Men have it often enough, but this disease is especially the bane of women —- with chronic constipation as one of its worst features. It is the cause of nearly’ nil the ills and ailments they suffer from. Let every woman get the book which Mr Heath speaks of and learn all about it. They can thus find out what the first symptoms are. and take Mother Seigel’s Syrup the very day they appear.
