WHAT IS THAT ONE THING?

It seems like an absurdity, yet it is true at the same. I mean that you might have a cellar fall of wood and ooal and still shiver with oold j and you would if it were not for one thing. • Oh, that is so obviouß,' yoa may Bay. 'It was hardly worth while to hint at it. Anyone oin see it with hia eyes shut. All tha better for me then ; I sban'c have to explain. And by the same sharpness you J will be able to piok out the important point m two short letters I am about to copy lor yon. The first runs thus : ' In December, 18Q0, my daughter, (Mrs M. J. Muther) got into a low, weak, nervous condition. Do what she would she could not get up her strength. Gradually she wast3d away no til everyone thought she was m a decline, and had not I long to live. In fact, she was so low and de jected ahe did not oare whether she lived or not. , Sbe was under a doctor for six months, but his medioinea did her no good. My hußband then said, ' My daughter, I will now see what I can do for you.' What he meant was that he would have her take a medicine oalled 1 Mother Seigel'a Garative Syrup.' He hhd used it himself when h* was ill, and thought it might prove as benefioial to her a9it had to him. • Mrs Muther said ehe was willing to try the Syrup, although she bad little or no fai h m its helping one as bad as she wae. For if she really had consumption we know there is no cure for that. My husband, however, got a bottle from Mr Hulme, the ohemißt, m Boohdale Bo id, and my daughter began taking it. After the first bottle we bbw a great improvement. She could eat, and the food gave, her no pain. She continued with this remedy, and gradually gained s-.reng b, but it took some time to bring her round, Bbc waß so very weak. After a 'ime tho was able to get about, and never looked behind her. Sinoe then she has been strong and well. We have told many persons how Mo her Seigel's Syrup restored her to Bound heaW , and are willing you should publish ihis statement of the facts. (Signad) (Mrs) Margaret Wateon, 11, Euby Street, Bury, Oat. Bth, 1895.' ' In March, 1893,' saya the second letter, • I began to fail m health. Iloould not Buy ez aotly what ailed me. I felt low, weak, and tired, andhad no strength for »ny ■ hing. My appetite fell away and what little food I ate gavi? me great pain at the chest and Bide, My hands and feet were oold, and nearly all the colour left me. I was often mso great pain I oould hardy rio any work. I was frequently Bick, and oould keep no kind of food down. , ' I got weaker and weaker, m spite of all that was done, and had to be off my work for seven's? n weeks. In this way I went: on un til Novemher of the came year— lß93, Then I happened to read about Mo her Seigel's Syrup and what it had done for others suffer* ing like me. I got a bottle of this medicine from Mr W. Heywood, grocer, m Odhsm Road, and after taking only the half of it I fuit muoEi better. I oould eat without pain, and wis stronger and brighter every way. When I ho a finished the bottle I was quite | cured, and have had no return of the oom i plaint tinoe. I have told many others about what the Syrup did for me, find out of thankfulness lam willing my letter should be ! made public. (Signed) Miss Lydia B. Morton, 1. Greaves Street, Middleton Junction, near Manchester, October lOch, 1895.'

Both these ladies say that (bey were very weak, and that thfir food — of which they could take but little — did them no good. In the midst of plenty they were actually starv ing. So ration wasted was one of them that; it was believed ebe had consumption. The event showed that they both xuffercd from dyspepsia, end nothing else. But that ft as quite enough ; and besides it often runs into consumption aud other fatal maladies. By settiDg the stbnmoh right Mother Hoigel's Syrup fully cured them both. Coals and wood are useless without means to light a fire ; and broad and meat are *c nothing notes* we enn digest them and rnak9 them part of our flesh and bone. Thai 13 easy to ccc and important to r era ember. And it h its power to heip nature work this transformation that makes Mother Beigel'fi Syrup so wonderful a remedy.
