w HAT IS THIS DISEASE THAT IS COMING UPON US? T {lf> a thief at night it steals in upon us un awares. Many persons have pains about the and sides, and sometimes in the back. . They feel dull and sleepy; the mouth has a ood especially in the morning. A sort of sticky slime collects about the teeth. The appetite is poor. There is a feeling like a heavy ioa-i on the stomach; sometimes a lamt all-gone sensation at the pit of the stomach which food does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the hancs and feet become cold and feel clammy. Alter a while a cough sets in— ar first dry, init. after ft few months is attended with a greenish co ored expeclorat on. The afflicted one feels tired a 1 the while,.and sleep does iiot seem to afford any rest. After a time becomes ner-ous, irritable, and gloomy, and n-s evil foie odi gs. There is a giddines--, a sor of whirling sensation in the head when risitng upsuddenly. The bowe's becon e cos tive; ’the skin is dry and hot at times; the blood becomes thick and stagnant; the whites 'of the eyes become tinged with yellow, the -mane.is scanty and high-colored, depositing a sediment after standing. There is frequently a spitting up. of the lood, sometimes with a gnnr taste* and somctiirfss with, ti sweetish taste; this is f eqmn ly attended with palpita tion of the heart; the vision lecomes impaired with spots before the eyes; there is a feeling of great prostration and weakness. All of these symptoms are in turn present. It is thought hat nearly one-third of our population has this disease in some oi its varied forms. It b?s been found that medical men have mistaken nature of this disease. Some have treated t for, a liver complaint, others fori kidney etc., eta, bu none of the various kinds of treatment have been attended with success, because the rented ■ should be such as to act harmoniously upon each one of these organ?, and upon the stomach as well; for in Dyspcp>ia (for this is really what the disease is) all of these organs partake of this disease and require a remedy that will act upon all at the same time. fceigel’s Curative acts like a charm in this class of complaints, giving almost imm diate relict The following letters Vtm chemists of standing in the community .here they live show in what estimation tlie /tide is held.

Friockheim, Arbroath, Forfarshire, Sept. ‘ Dear Si#,—Last year I sent you a letter re commending Mother Seiji’s Synip. I have very much pleasure in still bearing testimony ro the very satisfactory results of the famed Syrnp and P Us. Most patent medicines die out with me, .but Moher Seigel's has had a steady .sale ever since 1 commenced* and lß stl ** in as great demand ,as when I first began to sell the mwlirine. The cures which have come under my notice are chiefly those of liver com plaint and general debility. A certain minister in my ne'ghborhood sas t is the only thing which has be efited him ind restored him to his normal condition oa health after being unable to pwSll • flK* >;id>rahl# length of time, i coihu mention also a great many other cases, bnt space would not allow. A near friend of mine, who is very



much addicted to. costiveness, or custipation, finds that Mother Seigel’s PUls are the only pills which suit bis complaint. All other pills cause a reaction, which is very annoying. Mother's Seigel’s Pills do notleave a bad alter pfiyrt- I have much pleasure in commending a|«iM to suffering humanity Mother Seigel’s medicines, which are no sham.
