It Was Not the Climate.

| " I have been well as to my general haalth"—so wrote tbe late Dr O W I Holmes a short time before his death— I "but have had a good deal of asthma. ' The climate is cold and rough, bub I have | found much that is delightful about my ! residence here in Boston (America). ! Perhaps, after all. the fault ls not to much in latitude 42 «s in age 82." j That was it. The wise thinker did nob , deceive himself He knaw that it is the wasting muscles that oomplain of the steepness ot the hills and the thinning blood that lancies the winters are colder than they used to be. And it was not because Mrs Amy Harvey bad lost incermt In her domestic affairs that she was led to say everything was a trouble and a burden. No ;it was because she had lost her strength. Whether a duty is a burden or not de pends on the back* which has to carry lb. Ah, dear me, how constantly experience enforces that lesson upon us. Then what keen concern we feel in th« answer to the question: What will strengthen the quivering limbs ? What will restore the vigor of the mind 1 11 All my life," says Mrs Harvey, "I have suffered off and on from indigestion and weakness. I felt low and languid, with a disagreeable sinking sensation after taking ray meals. I had no energy j everything was a trouble and a burden. As soon as I had partaken of food, no matter how light, I felt a fulness and a gnawing pain at my chest, as if something were tearing it. " I also suffered much from nervous headache and was often dizzy. My breathing was short, and if I exerted myself I was qnlte out of breath. As time went on I got extremely weak and could not attend to my work! "I saw doctor after doctor and was told by them that my ailment was owing to my food not digesting." The doctors were right That was the trouble, and the only one. Yet Instead of being a comparative trifls ss many, shallow persons say, it is the roost serious of all diseases. Of course some of her food digested more or less fully ; other wise she could not have lived a fortnight. But the nourishment was never enough for the wants of the body. Hence the nervous headaches, the asthma, the sinking sensation, the dissztnese, the gnawing pain, and the disabling weak ness. The body under these conditions ls like a house abandoned to decay. All g >es to rack and ruin. " I took the doctors' medicines," con tinues this lady's plain account, " but my case was an obstinate one, and none of them seemed of any avail.

" In May, 1891, a neighbour told me of the benefit she had derive!from Mother Seigel's Syrup. I got a bottle from Messrs W Fox and Sons, Chemists, Bethnal Green, and when I had taken it two days I felt much relief. I continued taking it, and could eat and enjoy my food without having pain. I now gained strength and felt brighter.than I had ever done in my life.

" Since then I have kept well, taking a dose or two of Mother Seigel's Syrup when I need it; and I find i*- always puts me right. You can publish this statement if you think fit. (Signed) (Mrs) Amy Harvey, 19, * J ' Block. Dufferin Street, Bunhill Row, London, Jane 26th, 1896."

•« In March, 1894," writes another, ' I had a severe attack of lnfluema which left me extremely weak. I was troubled with indigestion and want of appetite. Having read of the wonderful cures made by Mother Seigel's Syrup, I decided to try it. I got a bottle from Mr Wm. Hy. Jones, the chemist in Caledonian Road. In two days I felt great benefit. I could eat, and food agreed with me, causing no pain; In a few days I was completely cured and as well as ever.

" Since that time I have kept Mother Seigel's Syrup in the house as a family medicine, and it always relieves when any of us suffer from Indigestion, etc. I have pleasure in making this statement, and you can publish it if you wish. (Signed) George H Barker, 44, Montpeller Road, Kentish Town, London, N.W, June 9, 1896.*

These excellent letters call for no ex planation. Their sincerity and truth is plain on the surface. And when we re member that what the writers affirm of Mother Selgel's Syrup Is also declared by thousands of others, the value of this remedy is established beyond question.
