What a weary thing it is to be ill, especially for a long time.
You are tired of advice, tired of trying this, that, and the other, tired of fancying your are trifle better, tired of taking precautions against. gettin worse. You are tired of pain, and half believe the sooner you are under the ground the better for you, and the more agreeable to your friends.
Here's a little story. A woman told it lately. She says:
"I, Mary Jones, of 3, Howard Street, Liverpool, declare as follows "*T have suffered all my life from weakness of the stomach and sluggish liver. I was always tired and languid, and often troubled with billions headache. My appetite was PPGia eat. did not digest. properly. Thad Inever had desire for food, and what
always a bad taste in my mouth, und a slimy scum would cover my mouth and teeth, and so bad was this that I was obliged to rinse it away before eating: When I was in my teens I was very weakly and would faint after sitting down to my meals, I had trembling at the heart, with a heavy weight at the chest, pain at my side, and a strange giddy feeling would come over me, When out walking in the street I-used to have to stand and rest for fear of falling, I was also so weak that when going about my work I often had to sit down and rest, Attimes I had a bad cough and pain in my Im T saw doctor after doctor, and was under medical treatment for more than twelve years. One doctor said I was suffering from an enlargement of the liver, another said I had heart disease, a third said may lungs were congested and that could not recover. Thinking I was now in a consumption, I went to a cousumptive hospital and was under treatment there for some time. The doctors, after sounding my chest, told me I was in a decline, and that my left lung was congested. 'They' gave me cod-liver oil and other medicines, but I got on better.
"In July, 1890, after a bad fainting I became s0 bad I had to take to my bed, and was attended by three doctors for a mouth. The first doctor who saw id T cond not recover. I had intense pains in my stomach, and could get nothing to pass my bowels, Various means were tried and found useless, could take liquid food only and was fast sinking, my case being considered hopeless by both the physican and the nurse. At this time it was that my husband heard through Mr, Parry, the chemist in Great' Howard Street, of medicine called Mother Seigel's Carative Syrup, atid we were presented with 4 book which described a case just like mine having been cured by it. My husband procured a bottle of this medicine and I began taking it. After a few doses I passed a ion as black as coal und experienced great f and shortly after felt as if I wanted something to eat. When the doctor called the next day he could see a marked change in me and suid, 'Mrs. Jones, we have given you the right medicine at lust.' He thought it was his last bottle that had worked the change, whereas the nurse had put.the medicine in the cupboard untouched. I went on with
my husband, father, and nurse never looked Mother Seigel's Syrup, and to the delight of behind me.' All the pain at the heart and chest gradually left me, and in a fortnight I was strong enough tobe removed to the seaside, and have ever since been in good health.
""T never felt so well in my life as I do now. All my friends consider the cure as a mira: culeus one, and T wish others to know by what means my life was saved, Tam willing that Messrs. A. J. White, Limited, shal Matement, and T hereby authorise them to make whatever nse they may think fit of this

"Dated this 3rd April, 1801 (Signed) Mrs. Jones."
There was nothing "miraculous" about this lucly's recovery, although it may have been, atid indeed it was remarkable. But it ras all along the straight lines of nature. 'She had suffered all her life from indigestion and dyspepsia, and her other ailments arose from that, and that alone. She could not digest her' food, and the whole perishing from' the poison in. and from lack of nutrition. Mother Siegel's. Syrup did its own work, it cleansed away the corrupted matter and set the digestive organs (the liver, stomach, and bowels) in natural operation, and immediate improvement and final recovery followed as necessary con-iting **Eepeciaily should the reader notice the close resemblance between the symptoms of dyspepsia and those of consumption, through which most unhappy mistakes are constantly made, Never conclude you: have cor tion until you are sure it isn't dyspepsia. The chances are that the result will be the same as in Mrs, Jones' case.
