Ignorance of the cause and nature of human ailments, and of what best to do when attacked by sickness, is responsible for greater loss of life, and infinitely more prolonged misery, than the most desolate ing war that was ever waged. Wars break out, rage fiercely, subside, and there is peace once more in the land; but every-Where and always there is a proportion of the people who are sick and ailing; who cannot properly sustain their part in the competition of life, and whose time is passed in suffering pain, from which they wereslvo no way of escape except by Tu all ages the wisest and noblest of mankind have exerted their mental power to the utmost to avert, so far as may be, the suffering and wastage of humanity, and they have been rewarded by a large measure of success. The evils we deplore, great as they undoubtedly still are, have Been enormously diminished by their efforts. Many modes of treatment formerly in high depute have been proved by modern science to be positively detrimental to patients, while remedies have been discovered of such wonderful efficacy that the cures they work would have been accounted miracles in a darker and more superstitious age. The foremost place among these dit i life-unal behind me; for I was not in a position to give up my work. A doctor whom I consulted informed me that one of my kidneys had been displaced, and was otherwise injuriously affected.' For three years I suffered in this way, and none of the medicines I tried benefitted mo in the least. But one day a friend gave me a little book to read, and advised me to try the medicine described therein, which proved to be no other than Mother Scigel's Curative Syrup. I followed his advice, and to that fact owe the health I now enjoy. I am confident that T could not have continued much longer to endure the terrible anguish with which 1 was afflicted before resorting to Seige!'
Testimony such as this must convince even the most sceptical; yet let it not be forgotten that Seigel's Syrup is the unrivalled remedy for indigestion and of the numerous complaints which arise from that malady. "As regards my family," writes Mr. ©. F. Morsner, of French Hook, Paarl Division, Cape Colony, 15th June, 1903, "we k Seigel's Syrup as our house doctor. It cured me of liver complaint. I have recommended it to numerous people, and always with satisfactory results."
Humanitarians look forward to a time when suffering shalt be lowest est politicians and. physicians.
