COMFORT FOR THE OLD FOLKS.

Suppose the wheels of time could suddenly be Reversed, and we could, in an instant, go back to the year 1814. Why, man, you w ? u J dnt recognise England. You wouldn't know how to apeak what to do, or how to understand the things around you You would be as completely lost as though you were whisked away and dropped on the planet Jupiter. You would find no railways in England, no telegraphs, no running water in the city houses, and mighty few of the houses themselves that are standing now 7,T™ i 4i 4 and i 894i 894 the diff erence is as great as between 1814 and 1600. Yes ; and greater. 1 « Yet at lady who was born in 18U writes us the following letter. She says :— < In the early part of 1884 I commenced to feel weak and ailing. My appetite was bad, and after meals I had an aching pam in the chest, and a most uncomfortable feeling in the stomach. My mouth tasted badly, and I spat up a sour, sickening fluid. I was much troubled with wind, belching it up frequently. It was about all 'I could do to get around here and there in the nouse. v, a* A woman that * kQ ew told me of a medicine that she said had done her a great deal of good ; she called it Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup She said it would no doubt do as much for me On hearing this I sent and got a bottle from Mr. G. Daniell's erocer and draper, in Linton, and began to take it. I am glad to say that in a very short time I felt much better. The bad symptoms I have spoken of went away, and soon I was as strong and hearty as I had been before the trouble came on me. 'I am eighty years of age, and can do almost any kind of work easily and with comfort. I owe it to Mother Seigel's Syrup, aiid by taking an occasional dose when I feel ailing it has Jtept me in goad health for Un yrars. I recommend the Syrup to all mv triads, ana if by printing my letter in the papers you think other persons— especially those who are advanced in life— may come to hear ot the Syrup and use it, I shall be very pleased to have you do so (Signed) Mrs. Ann Woollett, Wheeler's lane, .Linton, near Maidstone, January 16, 1894.' ' We do think Mrs. Woollett's letter will do good and so you find lt printed here. Now, there are a great many old people in this country, some of them perhaps even older than she And they need a gentle and good medicine like Mother Seigels Syrup Old age is a time when life is apt to seem a heavy thing to bear! particularly if there is more or less pain and illness. And this is sure to be the case. The stomach gives out. Old people can't digest as they once did. Their food sours and ferments in their I stomach, and u,akes all those bad feelings that Mrs. Woollett herself had. And when they cannot eat and digest their food, of course they got weak and feeble, and have to lie in bed or sit in the corner unable to take the air and go about for necessary exercise Then they get to thinking they are in the way, and grow down-hearted and low-spirited. Besides, they are likely to be troubled with rheumatism, which is a complaint peculiarly common to old people, and comes from a bad digestioD. u^yiv, Now, for curing and mitigating the ailments of old people, there is nothing in the world so good as Mother Seigel's Syrup It doesn t sicken them and tear them all to pieces as some harsh medicines do It operates gently and thoroughly ; it doesn't make them worse before it makes them better. For indigestion, dyspepsia, **tt™? ht m> aChe9 ' PaiU9 ' aQd discomforts °* age, it is Mother Seigel, who discovered it, knew what her elderly friends needed — nobody better. Well, we can't go back to 1814. and we don't want to In spite of all the growlers and grumblers, we are better off where we are In 1814 Mother Seigel's Syrup was never heard of; it didn't exist, but everybody knows it in IS»4. It is one of the great and good things ot this end of the century — *
