Comfort for the Old Folks.

Suppose the wheels of time could suddenly be reversed, and we could, l an Instant, go back to the year 1814 Why man, you wouldnt recognise England. Ton wouldn't know how to speak, what to do, or h- tr to understand he things around you. You would be as comp^tely lost as thongh y»u wero whisked away and dropped on ihe planet Jupiter, You would fiud no railways m Ei gland, no fceh graphs, no run ing wate: m the City bouses, and mighty few of tht houses themselveß ihat are standing now. Between 1814 nnl 1894 the oiffurence I* as aa between 1814 and 1603. Yes ; and greater. Yet a lacy who was born m 1814 wr^ as the following letter. She says : 'In he early part of 1884 I commenced to feel weak and ailing. My appetite was | had, and after meals I had an aohing pain m the ohesb and a most uncomfortabk feeling m the stomach. My mouth tasted badly, and I spat up a sour, Biokening fluid. I was much troubled with wind, belching it up frequently. It was about all I could do to get around here and there la the house. * A woman that I knew told me of a medicine that she said had done her a great deal of good ; she called it Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. She said it would no doubt do as much for me. On hearing this I sent and got a bottle from Mr F. i. aniell's, grocer and draper, m Linton, and began to take it. lam glad to cay that m a very short time I felt much better. The bad symptoms I have spoken of went away, and soon I was as strong and hearty as I had been before the trouble came on me.

4 1 am 80 yeara .of age, and can do almost any kind of work easily and with comfort. I owe It to Mother Seigel's Syrop. and by taking an occasional doae when I feel ailing it has kept me m good health for ten years. I recommend the Syrnp to all my friends, and if by printing my letter m the papers you think other persons — especially thoae wha are advanced m life— may come to hear of the Syrap and nse it, 1 shall be very pleased to have yon do so. (Signed) Mr» Ann Woollett, Wheeler's Tiane, Linton, neat Maidatone, Jan. 16, 1894,' We do think Mrs Woollett's letter will do good and so you find it it printed here, Now, there are a great many old people m this country, some of them perhaps even older than Bhe. And they need a gentle and good medicine like Mother tieigel's Syrup. Old age i« a time when life is apt to seem a heavy thing to bear, particularly if there is more or less pain and illness. And this is sure to be the case. The stomach gives out. Old people can't digest as they onoe did. Their food sours and ferments m the stomach, and makes all those bad feelings that Mrs Woollett herself had, And when tbey cannot eat and digest their food, of ooursa they get weak and feeble, and have to lie m bed or Bit m the corner, unable to take the air and go about for necessary exercise, Tiien they get to, thinking they are m the way, and grow downhearted and low-spirited. Besides, they are likely to be troubled with rheu matism, which is a complaint peculiarly common to old people, and comeß from a bad digestion. .Now, for curing and mitigating the ailments of old people, there is nothing m the world so good as Mother Seigel's Syrup. It doesn't sicken them and tear them all_to pl^oaa -aajaiiraaJhAEfihnQedlcines do. It operates gently and tHorouginy^ it doesu'c make them worse before* it makes them better. For indigestion, dyspepsia, rheumatism, and all the aches, pains, and discomforts of age, ID is just right. Mother Seigel, who discovered it, knew what her elderly friends needed — nobody better.

Well, we can t go back to 1814, and we don't want to. In spite of all the growlers and grumblers we are better off where we are. In 1814 Mother Seigel's Syrup was never heard of ; it didn't exist. But everybody knows it m 1894. It is one of of the great and good things of this end of ihe century.
