The Glory Of Man

The crown and glory of manhood Is strength—powor. All human conqiosto have been win by it; individual ana col- Ito'ive. The earliest sign of decay m man is not usually pain, but weakness of some kind-of miiici or body, or both. Thin may bo the inevitable sequence of i>d vauoed years, or it may, as we all know, show itself at any psriod of lifo. But it always means that, ibe sourcvs of string h are tailing, &s ihe lessening of the wttttr in a river means a drying op of the springs and streams which feed it. \ I said " sources 'of strength, using the i plural word. 1 ahouldhave said " source (f strength, tor in human beings tiieie la bat oue, What in v ? l Jeiba^s ih« ex perience <»f Air. David Jonia will htlp uts to an answer. ** Jn the summer of 1881," ie cays, ' 1 began to feel ill >>nd cut. of sorts I was weak and tirtd, and q i to worn cut with littie exertiup, I had a pour app^ike, and after tating had pain &ncl wm fc ht at the chest. My tjecctui-jus were scanty and thick. My back felt st,ff, and gave rue much pain as I moved abou'. For three yeas 1 buffered like this, bung at times batter and then worse. 1 consulted a doctor, who gave mo mcd cines ajd rtcjm mended Turkish.bat Is j but I got no better for any kind of treatment. " My brother then told me about Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup, but I had no faith in advertised intd'.c.n*-. Hu, however, urged aie to take it, and after takir g a few doata I experienced so much relict that I continued with it, and was soon strong and well as ever, since thabtima 1 take a dose of this letnedy when I feel at ail ailing, and it se sme i'iglit. I have praised* Mother Seigel's Syrup to all my friends, many of whom have tried it aiid been benefited by It. You can publish this statement) as you like. (Signed) David Jones, 1, Dunluce Sreef, Walton, Liverpool, July 31st, 1896." We have ioom Lot one more short letter before we try to come at the answer to the question with which we set out. It is ex actly in the same tine, ani ought to make the results of our inquiry all the more dear and plain, " In the spring of 1888," proceeds the writer, "my health btg-m to fail me. I felt languid and heavy, as if something had come over me. J had a bad taste in the mouth, nay appetite was poor, and ■ the little fo"d I took gave me pain across ■ the chest and between the Bhouidnra. My . food lay like lead on my stomach. I was constantly spitting up a thick phlegm, and when in bed heavy sweats came over me. I £;ob weaker and weaker, and from timj to time wae cjEfined to bed. Often I was so bad I could nut areas or undresa myself. "How better, now worse, but neyer well, 1 suffered for over five yesird. I tjok different; kinds of medicines, and had & doctor, but gas no real benefit from anything. *• In July, 1893, a book was lofb at my house in which I read of cases like mine ' having b^en cared by Mother Seigdl's Syrup. I got a bottle from the Inter national Tea Company, Yeovil, aad began taking it. In a short time I felt much benefit, ,and, by continuing with it, gained strength, I could eat better, food agreed wuh me, and by-and-by I was strong and well. But for Mother Seigei's byrup 1 believe I should not now be alive. You are at liberty to publish this state ment. (.Signed) (Mrs.) Jane Crouch, 82, Huish, Yeovil, November 29;h, 1895," What, then, do these cases show to be ( 6he source of strength ? The answer is, Digested Food. That and nothing else. All strength, of body or of mind, comes from that, and that only. What, then, in the great enemy of strength, the fountain of weaknesu 1 Indigestion — dyspepsia. You ace why and how. A child could not mtaa the argument. What, then, restores strength ? Mother Seigel's Syrup. In what way 1 By setting the digestive machinery in healthy operation. Ihat is what it did for our correspondents and . does daily for multitudes. Use it if you need It, and pass the news to other weak ones.

Sir,—As I consider Webbers' Great Herbal Remedy, "Vitadatio," has been the told menns of saving my life I think the least I can do is to hand yon this testimonial, co that others sintering the same a 8 myself may knew that there ia a certain reliable cure for them in " Webber's Vitadatio," if it ia only given a fair trial. The simple facts of mv; case are as follows:—ITor the past 10 years I have teen under thetreatmentof doctors in Fitirov and B. Kilda, as well as some of the belt in (Mlins street/ Some were of opinion that I was suffering from consumption, wllilsb others stated it was pleurisy. At any rate they could give me no relief, let afnrie cure me. You can easily imagine that I had little hope of ever being cured. Bus one day I noticed an advertised cure by ♦'Webber's Vitadatio," and the symptoms of th<> patient being somewhat similar to my own, I thought I wouldgive it a trial, with the result 'that much taking only two large bottles, I felt after better, and continued the modicine, Ky the time I had taken eight bottles I was wonderfully recovered, but one day took very ill, and vcmited up a lot o| slimy milter, which was afterwards f-xsmined by the doctor, and pronounced toboHydttids. I continued to vomit these " ETydalids," for some time, bub atlastitdied away This naturally left me weak, but I continued with tho (1 Vitadatic," and gradually my strength returned, until today 1 can honestly ato to I have neverjfelt better in the who'e of my life. I consider " Webber'* Vitadatio" a mirae'e worker. 1 am well -known in.JFi'iroy, and ther^ are may others jest as tnuca astonished at my cure hb I am.

From Sylvan Falky Newt, Brevard. N.O. It may be a question whether the editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly reommend any of the various proprietary medicines whsoh flood the market, yet at a preventive of suffering we feel it a duty to say a good word for Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera eni Diarrroei Remedy. We'have known and used this medicine in our family for twenty years and have always found it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicitly on any medicine for a cure, but we do believe thab if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhea* Remedy were kept on hand and administered at the' inception cf an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases thei presenoe of a physician would not be required. At least this has been our experience daring the past twenty years. For sale by A»h> barton Prog Co. Frtw* 3s, wad U fei,
