II Madam," said a wise old physician to a woman who had brought a feeble, acaemio, and f otrly developed daughter to him foi fcXimiration. "Madam, the treatment oi this girl should have been begun two hun dred years ago." "t>ir,"ehe exclaimed, "I doa'fc under stand what you mean." " Probably not, madam," replied UiU stu Sent of men and of medicine, " and you wouldn't even should I try to explain it." How do you best see a picture on the wall t Why, by btanding back and looking through your hollowed fiit or through a tube. Well then, let us first read Mrs Coombe's letter, and afterwards get a little of what painter* Call perspective on it and see if we can undei stand the lesson it teaches, '* lv the spring of last year, 1895," she says, "1 had an attack of pleurisy, whiet, loiD me low and weak. bubßequently I could not get up my strength, do what I would. My appetite was poor, and aftes eating I had severe pains about my chest, at my side, and between my shoulders. I had muscular pains in my arms and shoulders— in fact all ovar me. I got little or no Bleep, and felt quite worn out in the morning. "As time went on I got weaker and weaker and was scarcely able to get about I came to be so low that I thought I nevei should be better again. I saw a doctor and book medicines, but nothing did me any good. [ •* In December (1895) my sister, who live* at Oxford, told me of the benefit) she bad derived from Mother Seigel's Syrup. I got a bottle from Mr Cooper, chemist, Oldburj Road, and after taking it found great relief, i could eat well, and food agreed with me. 111 now gained strength, and after taking four botdes was well as ever and free from all pain, muscular or otherwise. X know others who hare been benefited bj bhe same medicine, toucan publish this statement as you like. (Signed) Charlotte Coombes, 177, Oldbury Road, West Smethwick, Bir mingbam, October 8, 1896.'' That is her letter—a plain, truthful, and well-written letter. But what do we see behind the Bimple facts as she sets them down ? Is there anything suggested by that attack of pleurisy she speaks of ? Was that the beginning 1 No. Pleurisy is the name given to an inflammation of the spaces or cavities in which the lungs rest. When the inflammation attacks the lungs themselves we call it pneumonia ; if the bronchial tubes, bronchitis-, and so on. Bub they are the same thiog, from the same cause—namely, impure blood. When the blood it thus poitutea, the smallest provocation—a alight cold—may bo*) up any of the above ailment". Rheumatism' (which Mrs Ojombaa had) belongs to the same group or family of maladies* But how comes that impurity or corrup tion of the blood in which these things arise 1 I'll tell you, ia the hope that you will re in* mber it. Indication, dyspepsia, fermen tation of food in the stomach, torpid liver, which leaves the bile acids in the blood instead of removing them, poisonous dirt and filth from the stomach getting into the circulation—that's where the trouble comes from. So we see that in oases of pleurisy, &o. s there is always what the doctors call a "history" of dyspepsia. Although this lady had keen dyspeptic symptoms after the pleurisy, a previous imperfection of her j digestion—whether she realised it or not laid the foundation for the pleurisy, the rheumatism, and ail that followed* Now ttiat is what we see as we stand back and look. And thia is the practical use you are to make of the knowledge : Take care of the condition of your stomach, and the put day you feel anything wrong with it, resort to Mother Siegel's Syrup without waiting to find out whether you are going to be worse or not. When your house takes fire you don't wait to see how bad it ie likely to be; you stop it immediately. Do ao with indigestion. The old doctor was right in what he said to the woman about h< r daughter. The girl couldn't help the neglect of her ancestors ; but we can do something towards taking care of ourselves.

Amberley, Dec 7,1399 [Copy] Messrs Ceaiohead Akd Bkrryman Ashburton, Dear Sirs,—Could yon make a suifc at once. I am sorry I forgot to order it sooner. The last one is still wearing.
