Your horse is woak and weary with a long day's journey. You have ridden him since early morning. Impatient to reach a shelter for the night, you drive the spur into his panting sides.' He leaps forward, and for a time trots onward rapidly. Ilat did the spur do for him? Did it give him strength 80, why feed him? If not, what made him go faster? Here is a short personal statement which a man makes. Try if you can tee any likeness between the two cases. always a strong, healthy man." At that time He tays: "Up to August, 1885, T was T began to feel tired, dull, and heavy, with a faint, dizzy sensation as if I should tumble down any minute. "T cout not imagine what was coming over me, There was a bad taste in my mouth, my breath ws bed, and my mouth would often fill with an offensive slimy inter." My appetite was poor, and after cating T suffered great pain, and wind would rol) all over me. I had much pain at the stomach, and was sick every morning, and threw up a great deal of phlegm. I had a pain like the thrust of a knife cutting between the shoulders and low down in the hack at the kidneys, When at work I got tired in five minutes, and had to stand and rest.
kept on with my work, however, for ome time as best I could, for T had a'wife ud family depending upon me, But it was a hard and tedious task, as even stooping made me cry out with pain, After a while grew oe weak I could searcely crawl about, and was com to give up my employ ment.
Wher't ventured out of doors T fle so dizzy that I had frequently. to stop and rest for fear of falling, and was 20 bad that people would think I'was in drink, and I had often to call at a chemist's and get a draught medicines, and was attended by a doctor, to help me home. I tried herbs and other
but I got no better. In this dead-and-alive wife got an almanac from" the druggist, and way I lingered on until April, 1890, when my read of a case of a railway guard at Manchester, who had been cured by a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup after the doctors had given him up. So I wrote to him, and he replied that it had cured him and would do me good. Upon this I got bottle, and after a few doses I felt. better, and by keeping on using it I was soon all. right and back at my work, and have beam, well ever since. When I feel any signs: of stomach disorder a few doses aot me right directly, I feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received, and wish others who, may be ill to know of ib as, if I had known of "Mother 'Seigel's Syrup at the ouluet.

Now, where is the likeness between Mr. Sperrin's experience and our illustration about the horse? It is this: The horse gains no new strength from the application of the spar. Of course we all see that he cannot, jut the pain arouses him and makes a draft on his reserved nervous power—with a corresponding degree of exhaustion to follow. This is always Nature's way. She gives nothing for nothing. All must be paid for, Look back at Mr. Sperrin's statement where he says; 'I hept on at my work, for I had and family depending on me." That was his spit. Tt was work or worse with him, a8 it is with most of us, But he had to pay, for, labouring when he was unable, by having to give up work altogether, and what the end would have been had not. Seigel's Syrup come to the rescue nobody can say. Possibly the saddest thing we can think of, Any way this triumphant medicine saved him, and he can work now without a spur.
If the reader also has indigestion and dyspepsia, with its painful and alarming consequences and symptoms, or knows of another who has, he will be able to treat himself or advise his friend.
