People Bound to the

The great majority of people have to we for a living with hands or head, or bot! Very well. To make our living we must he able to labour so many hours ina day, days in a week, weeks in a year. Very good again. But suppose we each had an enemy who pos-teased the power to tie us up with are) when he pleased. To-day he ties only the left arm, to-morrow the right, the next day a og, and'so on. Once in a while he ties us to our beds and keeps us there a week. How much would he cost us in hard cash ina year? and how much would it be worth to usif we could chain him toa rock or hang him with hin own rope? Let us have a rough illustre tion or two, ing on the Midland Rail-po and have some idea of the labour signalman. We all know what the and responsibility. Well he kept at it for several years, never missing a day. He kno' hie business, nobody better, and nothing went wrong on his section of the line; but by-and: cly his enemy began to tie him up. Somehow he couldn't eat with a relish any mor: hen he tried he was taken with such a distress it took all the life out of him, Then he would have ties when he was so giddy that ever thing went round and round like a this had happened when he had a signal to set, @ collision might have come of it: happly He did not. "Other ropes were tied around jim: he had pains in the chest and sides, his bowels became costive, tongue coated, bad taste in the mouth, heartburn, weakness &c, The doctors suid he would have to give up his situation; but he couldn't. There were the wife and children to be looked out for, and only his earnings to do it with. But finally he broke down altogether, and was laid up for weeks, unconscious part of the time. 'Then, we may say, he was tied hand and foot. His enemy had hum fast, and came igh bling him ne day, ateer the doctors had given him up, his mind was cleer, and he remembered a' medicine—half the bottle full—he had hidden away in a locker ina signal box and forgotten all about it. He sent for it and took a dose. In less than a month he was a well man, the ropes were all cut away. If you write to him (Andrew this medicine was Mother Seigel's Curative ge, Culgaith, Cumberland) he will tell you

ays But whilst he was ilwith it, he Syrup, and his ailment was indigestion and might aa well—yes, better—have been tied to There are lots of cases of this sort all over we hear of; millions of them we never h Bugland—all over the world. A few of them of, Somet nes it is heart disease; sometimes Ki rheumatism ritism; sometimes kidney and bladder complaint; sometimes nervous prostration sometimes liver disorder. That is, the doc: tors call it by all these hard names, but at bottom it is indigestion and dyspepsia, and all these other so-called diseases are just tokens and symptoms of that—neither niore nor less. If a man never had any trouble with his stomach, he might live for ever, for aught wean tell: Yet how in mercy's name can & man or a Woman work with death and corruption inside of the body, withthe stomach full of decaying food, sending poison through the blood to every joint, muscle, and nerve This is what dyspepsia does. Indigestion isa slow but sure poison, just as taking so many grains of arsenic every day would be.

Fore is another case, that of a railway fireman, who writes from Hurlford. He says #T have been a sufferer from indigestion and dyspepsia for three years; I tried several doctor, but got worse all the time. At last I went toa chemist and he promised to cure me in a week or two. He sold me three very expensive bottles of medicine, and all the effect I felt from it was the loss of my money. Then I got hold of a bottle of Mother Seige!'s Syrup. and was better almost at once. How sorry Iam I didn't use it years ago!" We can give this man's name if you care to have it He didn't want it printed. he was as good as tied up fora long while, Illness is a strong rope.

Here is one more illustration. Mr. RB, option, of Long Weston, says: "I am sixty: eight years old. Mother Seigel's Syrup has not quite made me a young man again, but it has cured ie of asthma, nervous. prostration, and a throat ailment arising from impure blood. Iwas too ill to labour, yet can now do my work, thanks to that great remedy. You niay publish the fact. The whole com plication cane first from indigestion."

And this is the way people are bound until Slother igel's Curative Syrup sets them ree.
