Orders oi»<i Arrows . ■■ ♦ When the oaptain of a ship order* some hands aloffe to furl thn m*in rnya< 4 ho men jimp io obey, as a milter «>l cniiHe. A s*itor c«u c imb up on a yard without: having a a.-hore or a penny m his pock'M. lii face, Jftfk seldom sigim articles until he has used up both uash hnd creriit. Bat whßn a doctor— who ia a sort of captain when one is laW up m the diy dock of illness— orders a patient to go abroad for the benefit of bin health, it ia quite another thing. A trip and fojourn away from home is an expensive preßcription, and most of ua can't afford it. If the dootor sayß it is a choice between that and the graveyard we shall have to settle en the graveyard ; it is handy by, and easy to get, to. But ar« we really so hard pushed 1 That is, as often as the doctors say we are ? : Lst's turn the matter over m onr minds for a minute. Here is a case that, is pat to the purpose. It concerns Mr Arthur Whiddon Melhuish of 3, Regent's Terrace, Po'sloe Road, Exeter; and for the details we are indebted to a letter written by him, dated Maroh 7, 1893. He mentions that, m obedience to the orders of his doctors, he went to Cannes, m the south of France, m November, 1890, and ■pent the winter there. He also spent the following winter at rhe same place. He felt the better for the change j we will tell you why presently. But ho obtained no radical benefit, which also we will explain later on. it appears thah this gentleman had been weak and ailing nearly all his life ; not exactly ill, not wholly well— a condition that calls for constant caution. In March, 1890, he had a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs. Now I want the reader to honor me with his best attention, as I must say m a few words what ought properly to take many. Shoot an arrow into the ayr — an straight up m you can. You can't tell where it will fall. It may fall on a neighbor /a head, on your own, or on a child's, or on the pave- menti Everybody's blood contains more or less poisonous elements. These are arrows, bufc unlike your wooden arrow they always strike on the weakest spot, or spots, m the body. ; If they hit the muscles and joints we call it rheumatism and gout ; if they hit the liver we call i£ liver complaint or billi- ousness ; if they hit the kidneys we call it Bright's disease ; if they hit the nerves we call it nervous prostration, epilepsy, or any of fifty other names; if they hit the bron- chial tubes we call it bronchitis, &c ; if they hit the air cells we call it inflammation of . the lungs, or by-and-bye, consumption. And inasmuch as these poisoned arrows pass through the delicate meshes of the lungs a thousand times every day it would be odd if they didn't hit them— wouldn't it ? Now, wait a bit : It follows that all the various so-called diseases above named are not diseases at all m and of themselves, but merely symptoms of one only disease— namely, that disease which produces the poison ! Good. Oioodr We will get on to the end of the story- . After the attack of lung inflimmation Mr Melluish suffered from loss of appetite, pain m the chest, sides, and stomach, and danger- ous constipation. He could eat only liquid food and had to take his bed. For weeks he was so feeble that he could not rise m bed. He consulted one physician after another, obtaining no more than temporary reliaf from medicine. Then he was ordered abroad as we have related. His letter concludes m these words : 11 Whilst at Cannes I nonsu'ted a doctor, who aaid my ailment wns weak digestion, And that I need not trouble about my lungs. But I never gniued any real ground umil November, IS9I, when I began to inke Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup. This helped me m one week, and by continuing with it I got stronger and stronpsr, »nd am now m fair good health. 1 his, after my rela'ives thought I shou'd never recover. (»igned) Arthur Whiddon Melluish " To sum up : This gentleman's reil ailment was indlgetion and dyspepsia, from which the blood poison comes that causes nearly all disorders and pains. The air of Southern France helped him temporarily, because it is milder than ours ; ifc did noc remove the poison. By care and ihe u c e of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup he would have done better at home as the result nhows. So we see that it is not the climate that kills or savei ; it is the condition of 'he digestion. If therefore your doctor orders you abroad for your health, reil him you will firßt try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup
