Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I got a bottle from Mr G.-iT. flaneon, chemist, New B>lingbroke. After taking the Syrup for a week I was much better. I had a good appetite, and what I ate digested and strengthened me ; and by the time I had taken two bottles I was well and strong as ever. You may publish thiß statement if you think proper, (Signed) Richard Leg* gate." So it proved, after all, that Mr Leggate was not suffering ftom old ape (at seventy ? Nonsense !), but from indigestion and dyspepsia. When Mother Seigel's great discovery routed that, he felt "well and strong as ever." Now for the moral : It is not Father Time who mows people down thus early m life ; it is the Demon of Dyspepsia. Keep him away, and— barring accidents — you may live a century.



Why wot Uive a. Century t. *■•,,.,....»,. ■ .I..— ■■■■■■■ t "In the coming time," said a famous English poet, " a man or woi»an eighty _or one hundred y«ars old will be more beautiful thaa the youth or maiden of twenty, as the ripe fruib is more beautiful and fragrant than the green. These ripe men and women will have no wrinkles on the brow, no grey hair, no bent and feeble bodies. On the contrary they will have perfect hearing, clear eyesight;, sound teeth, elastic siep, and mental vigour." . Does this sound absurd and impossible ? Why phouldit? People over one hundred years old are frequently met with m these days, as they have been as far as human records go back. A men is of no real value until he is past fifty and gained control of his" passions and acquired some practical wisdom. After that he ought to have from fifty to seventy-five working years before hi/n. Whoso dies short of one hundred (bar violence) dies of hia own folly or-that of his ancestors. One chief thing, however, we mint learn. What is it? Take an lllus- j txatjon— such as we see multitudes ot on every side. ... Mr Richard Legatte of New Bohngbroke, near Boston, Lincolnshire, is a man now somewhat over seventy. He is a tanner, well known and highly respected m hisdii. triot.- In the spring of 1891 he had an attack of influenza from which be never fu'ly recuperated. The severe symptoms passed away, *»f course, but he remained weak. No doubt food would huve built htm up, provided he could have eaten and digested ib.. Yet here was the trouble, his appetite was poor, and what little he took ai a matter of necessity rathnr than of relish, seemed to act wrong with him. Instead of giving him strength it actually produced pain and dintresij m the sides, chea*, and stomach. Then again — which is a common experi- ence — he would feel a craving for something to eat ; yet on Kitting down to a meal, m the hope to enjoy it, the stomach would, suddenly rebel against the proceeding, &nd he would turn from the table withont having swallowed a mouthful. Nothing could come of his but increasing ., weakness and it wasn't long before it was i nil he cou'd do to summon Mreng'h to walk about. As for working on his farm, that rto bo sure w=»s not to be thought of He , bed a doctor attending him, as we should. j expect. If the services of ft learned medical man pre ever needed they must be m Mich j a case — whon nature ne.ems to be all broken i up, and the machinery runs slow, as our j family clocks do when we have forgotten to ! wind them up at the usual hour. i Well, Mr LeggHte took the prescribed medicine*, but got no better. He asked th« doctor why that was, and he appeared to h* puzzled "for an answer at first. Naturally I enough a doctor doesn't like to admit thats i his medicines are doing no good, because he j expects to be paid for them ; and then there j is his professional pride, besides. However, he finally said, "If mymedi* ones fail to make you better ir ib owinp to your age." That idea was plain as a pike- Maff, and if thepaMent had never got any better afterwards, why who could dispute what the doctor said ! Nobody, of course It would look just as though MrLeggite was really going to pieces from old Bge. But something subsequently happened whioh spoils that eauy theory of the case. What it was he tells us m a letter dated February 3, 1893. " After doctoring several mon»h<» wifhoufc receiving abj tow fit, \ immtoti to try
