THE POWER THAT PULLS DOWN.

I went to present a s'B^'ie idea m the feweSfcanc! clearest words v- mv comna»nd. Here gefs for a try at ir. Prom the time j %ijou are first able t> stand on y<-ur f<tt, up to the time you can stand no long** 1, there is always a power pulling you back ward t*nd downward. You resist, and Ie persists. Ie wins partial victories over yoo every day, and finally it lsye y>u by the heels Now, what is the name nt that power? Don't be too quick wi;h your answer, Ir is the over coi<fi 'ent Cricketer who gets bowled out. Perhaps the reading of these lerteis may help you In the spring of 1891, says a woman, "my health, previously good, began to fall. lam natnr«.lly as energetic as most persons and enj »y being up and doinp, bat now for some reason I felt low. weak, »nd tired I had no relish for food of any kind, and what I ate gave me piin at; the cheat and a feeling of tightness and op presslon around the waist, with bhortneua of breath. After a time the pains went to my shoulders and all over me. The distress after eating was so great that I hesitated before swallowing a rmuthful, well know- Ing what the resnli wouH be. I tonk many m^diciaea, but none f.f timm g»v« we any ease. As time went on I beeam ■ weaker and weaker, often leaving my household work for a bit so as to lie down on the couch and res*. And as this debility increased upon ms rr,y spells of work got shorter, and my sp Hs of rest longer. Sometimes feeling a trifle Vetter and then again woiss, this was pracricilly my c ndltion month after month. I saw a doctor, but hie medicines did me little or no goo 1. He said I was suffai ing from weaknsss. and would have to got my strength bsck gradually The autumn and winter of 1891-2 dnwly paa^e;! and I was about the same, only more thin and feeble J had almost given up hope of getting really well again. Jn April, 1892, I w.win our shop one day and heard a cu-tomir speak about Mother PeigfTr* Curative Syrup, and what remarkable cures of different ailments it had done In tho district. "Ib'may be the right thing for me.' I said' and sent for it that very day .After taking one bottle 1 could eat better, without any distress or p«n to come after tt, With the additional food I gained strength,, and one week after another, while keeping on with Mother Seigel's Syrup, I found myself able to do more work and needing leas rest between times. I took only the * Seigel's :' no other medicine. I c/>uW stmd and walk once more without tbii Ic ing about it, and was soon m as good health and f..pirifn as ever. You are free to print my letter if yoa desire, (Signed) Mrs Knaim CotM'nijham, wife of G, W. Cottingham, Grocer and Ironmonger, Sootter, Lincjln, April 29 h, 1895 " '* F r over four years,' 5 rays another, *' 1 suff :red from constant weakness. My na'ural strength w-as gone, ai.d nothing 1 did or took seemed to bring it back, My food—and I ace but little, having no appft'te —did not go to the fpot, as we cay. I was ncna the bettor or s'rnger for eating it. Indeed I was the worse ; for it caused me great pain and disress :n the stotmch, chesr. sides, and haok. I was working m the mi 1 and never quite gave up my employment : but I did my work In the f»ce of j,ain and .weakne-s. Finally, I wad curci by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I heard of it by means of a liftl>: book. The Syrup stopped the pain :d er eating, and soon I was another and a brighter woman. My strength c^me back, ar.d I can walk, stand, and work with ease. (Signed) Mrs El'zibeth Jackwm, Silk Street, Glossop, Oebobar 10;h, 1895.' Now what was tho power that pulled these women down? " Wehknpes,'' you say, and they say '• weakness " But whaf is weakness ? Is it a dneasp ? N:>, old age always brings It, and it is always one oftheresulss of disease. Slterg'rh, the opp ihite of weakness', is created only by digested food. Nothing else und-.r the san will produce it. Ltose the abilily to digest ynur food, and scon y< ur leg. tremble beneath you. your fingera lose their grip, your head its steadiness, and your mind its clearness and courage. The word "weakness" cornea from a Saxon word meaning to yield, to fail, to give way. By its wondrous virtue m correct ing the rrachinsry of digestion and enabling the system to gatthe good of its daily food—by this, I fay, Mother Seigel's Syrup, used m time, overcomes weakness snd restores strength. But, mark you ! there ig a mystery m thiq simple explanation, so deep w<» must reserve the discussion of it for another coasion.
