Hammers and Eggs

I have seen hammers, weighing many tons each and operated by steam, that would crack an ey without crushing it, and yet at one blow smash a lump of iron as big as your head as flat and thin as this sheet of paper. There are several such hammers at Essen, in Prussia, where the German Emperor's big guns are made, and at Armstrong's foundry, by the n in England. ied re Tons, Thave looked at these hammers with admiration and awe. They are things to take one's hat off to. Oh, to have the! power of a thunderbolt combined with muscular control that would enable me to take a moth hetieen my thumb and finger without brushing the flour from its wings And health, too, of course, health which! should never, since I begsn 10 breathe, have been modified by an ache, a weakness or any physical suggestion that this condition would ever end, i But there! if wishes were horses beggers might ride.

Whether the Creator so intended it I cannot say, but every human life falls short of the ideal.

Here is an extract from a letter w by Mrs. H.C. Oosthuizen, who lives at Stand 875, Richt Stieet, Burghersdorp, Transvaal, on April 14 of this year, 1904, in which she tells you exactly how she suffered and what the chief symptoms were.°If you are suffering from pains in the stinnach, o kidneys, or from rheumatism, or have any of the symptoms she describes, it would be well for you to act on the recommendation she gives when she tolls you what cured her. She says: '*For neatly fifteen years Tsuffered from kidney complaint. 1 was hardly ever free from rheumatism, pains and backache. I became so ill at last that while in the Women's Camp at Bloemfontein, during the'war I was taken into hospital and there remained for over two nths, The treatment given me by the hospital doctors gave temporary relief and Las discharged from hospital. The rough conditions under which we were living at the time away from all home comforts. did not tend toward building up my already shattered state of health, Having rome friends in the camp who had been cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup, I visited then: and from them heard the wonders of that remedy. I purchased two bottles and began to feel my health improve. I con-tinyed using the Syrup until i was completely cured."

There is no mistaking that story—it isa plain and simple one. But perhaps you would like to know more about the wonderful curative effects of this remarkable medicine in another case—this time the patient being a man. If 0, read the accompanying extract from a letter written on March 27th, this same year, 1904, by Mr.

Norodien. of the Malay Location, Johan. nesbrug. He says: "for nine yea suffered from severe pains in the vicinity of the kidneys, lost my appetite completely, and ould only take milk and beef tea anything more substantial would not remain in the stomach, I became so ill that T was forced ta teke to my bed. A doctor treated me for almost two months, but without success. On arriving at Cape Town ut the outbreak of hostilities, a Malay friend told me of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seiel's Syrup. One bottle relieved me, and now I am never without bottle in my house."

Only one bottle, he says, cured him, but he has such confidence in the remedy that he keeps it always handy, He gan ent and enjoy and digest his food now. Without fire, no heat. Without digested food, no strength. That's Nature's law. Relief and cure for digestive disorders reside in Mother Seigel's Syrup. Cases on which excellent doctors have looked in despair wre daily cured by it, and it is constantly adding ts the working strength and happiness of the world.
