A CLEAN CUT INDIVIDUAL OPINION BOLDLY EXPRESSED.
It is for this reason that an assertion like the following sticks up above the dead levtl of our stupid talk, and becomes noticeable; " When I saw how pale I had grown I said to myself, it was because something had gone ont of my blood." " There 1 mat is a statement with the seeds of an idea in it. Supposd we follow it up by quoting the rest of the letter which contains it. in December, 1890, 8>»yB the wrier. " I fell into a poor state of health. I was tired, lau^uid, and weary wuhjut any apparent cause. My appetite left me, and ail food, even the lightest and simplest kind \, gave me great pain in the chest and stomach. When 1 saw how pale I bad grown 1 said to myselt it was because something had gone out of my blood. Tulu my sleep was broken, night af er night I scarcely closed my e}es. It wasn't long before I became so we-»k and dejected that I took no interest in things around me. 1 was so nervous that common sounds annoyed and worried me ; even the noises made by my own children in their talk and at play. There was a disgusting taste in my mouth ; ir mad<i me sick, and often gave me a shivering sensation all over. When I saw others eating and enjoying their meals I felt as though it were a strange thing ; in a way I wondered how they could do it. For myself I could tat hardly anything. Food wnnt went again mo, and I turned away irom it, as one turns from Bmel s or sights that are offensive. And yet I knew, what everyone knows, that without sufficient food the body languisues and weakens. And such waß tho cate with me as month after month went by. During all this t me, so full of pain and diecouragement, I was attended by a doctor who did wtiat he could to relieve me, but witbout success. Ido not say he did nut understand my complaint ; for may he not have understood it without having tbe means of caring it ?" Tha answer to the laayV question is : Yes, easily enough. All intelligent, studious doctors '"understand" consumption, oboler*, cancer, &c, without (as yet) having the means of curing them. There is usually a wide gap between the discovery of a want and the way to supply it " it will now," continues the letter, ''tell you bow I came to bs cured, la April, 1891, I read in a small book or pamphlet about Mother Seigel's Syrup. The book said the Byiup was a certain remedy for all disease of the etom>ch, indigestion in every form, and dyspepsia ; and it also said that most of the complaints we suffer from are caused by that. Oj looking over tha symptoms described in the book, and comparing them with my own, I saw plainly that my ailment was dyspepsia. " We scut immediately for a bottle of this medicine, and after taking it a few days I begau to feel bevter. la a very short time, by keeping on with ihe Syrup according to the directions, I could eat without pain or distress, and digest my food. I also slept soundly and naturally. Then my strength came back and with it the colour io;my face. In bhort, after a few weeks' uee of Mo her Seigel'a Syrup, I was hearty aud strong as ever. And I should be indeed ungrateful it I were not willmg that others should have the benefit of my experience. You are th«rtfoie free to print my letter if you think it will be useful. — (Signtd) (Mrs) M. Truran, Martoo, Lincoln, April 24, 1895." I simply desire to Bay to Mrs Truran that her idea about the bluod is a perfectly comet one. All our tood (tbe digestible part of it) is turned into blood, and in that shape it feeds the entire body. When the blood gtts thin and poor (lacking nourishment), we lose fieeh and grow fieble and pale. And the cause of the blood getting thin and poor is indigestion, or dyspepsia. How easy this is to understand when ones >ou get hold of the right cud of it. Mother Beigtl's Syrup his the peculiar power to correct what is wrong about the dit;eßiioD, and thus enables the digestive machinery tj make good rich bloo-, wiiich iB life and health and beauty.
