Probation Here Below.

Mrs Annie Green, of Auckland, is a sensible and charming woman, who, like many another, once harboured a little scepticism about the “things people most talk about.” I like a woman with an opinion and the decision to stick to it—for a while. "As for me, I didn’t believe in it a bit,” she said; “but my friend had faith, and perhaps I caught it from her. She gave me a bottle of Seigel’s Syrup and I commenced.”

That commencement, like the college season’s close when the brain has won a goal for the man who wears it under his hat, will always be a memorable time in this lady’s life. She had been in bed four weeks and found it tedious and trying. Who wouldn’t find it so? Afterwe once get on our legs at fifteen months of age our natural posture is upright two hours to one out of the twenty-four. “I had Buffered for about three years with acute indigestion, and,” says this lady, “I travelled the road familiar to so many, and found it just as full of thorns and brambles. Broken sleep, frequent and racking headaches, a tired, languid feeling a nasty and choking sensation in the throat, and the rest of the list.” Mrs Green’s last remark is expressive. “The rest of the list” embraces more misery, more pain and wretchedness than anything in the calendar of affliction. Acute indigestion amounts to an internal rebellion of nearly all functions, and its symptoms are legion. These are “the rest of the list,” and vary in different individuals. “As most of my time was spent in

bed you can imagine how much plea** ure I waa getting out of my probation here below. “Well, I was in bed on the Ist of October, 1900, with no chance of anything better to come so far as I could see. Then the helpful person turned up in the shape of an acquaintance who had faith that Seigel’s Syrup would cure me.

“As for me. I didn't believe in it a bit, or in any other of the thing* that people talk about. “But my friend had faith, and perhaps I caught it from her. She gave me a bottle of Seigel’s Syrup to commence on, and I commenced accordingly.

“The relief was immediate. To say that I was astonished and pleased would be putting the truth with moderation. I went on with the medicine, of course, and before that bottle was finished the worst of my symptoms had almost disappeared. Ono bottle more did the work, and I am now as well as I was before I was attacked.

“This result was a marvel, and I am grateful to those who made the remedy, and to the friend who introduced it to me, and fairly urged me into making use of it. You have my free consent to publishing my statement. I am a native of Auckland, and am well known in this neighbour-; hood, where I have been in business for nine years at the subjoined address. Mrs Annie Green, St. George’a Hall Buildings, Great North Road, Auckland, N.Z.” Acute indigestion, or, as some call it, gastritis, can be cured with Seigel’s Syrup and a little common sense and care. Made of the curative juice of roots, herbs and barks highly concentrated, this medicine has proved an unfailing tonic and corrective In all diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys. Keep these organs healthy by habitual use of Seigel’s Syrup and the pleasures of your table will be a revelation; your bed will be a comfort of sound and restful sleep, and life will be cleared of thorns and brambles.
