thoumnds of ory sect, elfic: Pelaps the prophet sutors from indigestion; in which case he would do better to cure' himself, by taking a few doses of Mother Seigel's Syrup, than disseminating his gloomy ideas. "Indigestion not only pre vents food from nourishing us; it converts it into poison which contaminates the whole system, depressing the, mind, constipating bowels, impoverishing the blood, an punishing the unfortunate patient ' with severe pain at the chest after eating, headache, drowsiness, and other symptoms which complete his misery.

Among the many people, who know these facts from experience is Mr. H. Henegan, of Crawford Street, Port Elizabeth, who, in writing to Messrs. A. J. White (Colonial), Ltd., corner of Princes and Diesel Streets: in South Africa of Mother Seigel's Curative Port Elizabeth, Cape Colony pregetetacs Thirst sod Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, syrup), says: 'It' is now two years since and I rejoice to ell you (as I have told my friends ever since) of the good it has done for me. I can never forget the pain and stress I suffered, and my wretched condition when a friend persuaded me to try your Syrup.

ese favourable opinions, based uj Henegan on 8th July, 1903, closely resembles numerous other testimonials, which constantly. reach Messrs. A. J. White from various parts of the country.

Mother Selgel's Syrup is its only euro cure, It is a perfectly natural remedy, made from fruits, roots, and herbs, containing mo noxious drugs whatever. The essential qualities of the plants are extracted by a scientific process known only to the. nroprietors, and the result is specific which for thirty-five years has been acknowledged as an unrivalled remedy for indigestion and all bilious diseases by the people of the sixteen principal countries of the world, Mr. W. Sly, of 12, Darlow Buildings, Parliament Street, Port' Elizabeth, in a letter dated Sth August, 1903, expresses himself terms similar to those of Mr. Hi "T had a severe attack of indigesti staying at Port Said, in Egypt," writes Mr. Sly, "and tried numerous so-called remeilias without deriving the least benefit. from any of them." But when I came to Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup it was different. The very first, dose did me good, and shortly after the indigestion left me."
