ADVERTISEMENTS. —_———— eee WHAT AMOUNT OF SUFFERING COULD BE. AVOIDED IF WE ONLY KNEW HOW. disease afloat, for there is proof that the extent and strength of such are far less than of yore, because of better sanitary arrangements and: greater attention to cleanliness and other matters. The enormous prevalence cannot be doubted of pains in the back, side, and chest. enervated and languid feelings, with loss of energy; distress and fulness of the stomach, with often a sense of deadly faintness at its: pit which eating does not stay ; sick headache; so-called biliousness = unpleasant breath; a sense of weariness when rising in the morning, with an unpleasant taste in the mouth; and the loss of appetite, or non-enjoyment of food. These are but the mildest effects of ‘‘ feeling unwell,’ and yet how great is the distress and suffering, with hindrance to business and pleasure, they give riseto! The cause is not far to seek; it lies in the stomach and digestive organs, which have become- impaired, to the distress of nearly all the other functions of the body. Assuredly, could the stomach always be kept in well-regulated condition through life, it would tend to far greater longevity than is now the case. ‘The stomach is a wheel within wheels, and just as am erratic tendency on the part of a small but still important wheel of a clock leads to the disarrangement of its whole function as a time- keeper, so does the failure of so important a wheel as the digestive organs in tne mechanism of the human frame throw, by their impaired: vigour or inaction, all the parts depending on them—and they are legion—out of gear. Just as the wheel of the clock will require to be adjusted that accurate time may be kept, so must the impaired organs of the stomach be restored to their original vigour. Digestion must be promoted by increasing the flow and strength of the gastric juice, and this ‘‘Seigel’s Curative Syrup”’ will effectually do. It will impart strength to the stomach, invigorate the liver, and impart tone to the bowels, to the greater enjoy-- ment of life and health of all who use it ; and that it 1s so may be tested by a perusal of the testimonials. in an Almanack, which will be furnished free of charge to any applicant by the proprietors, A. J. White, Limited, 21, Farringdon Road, London, E.C. The Syrup can be obtained from any chemist or medicine: vendor. The genuine Seigel’s Syrup and Pills have the words, ‘‘ A. J. WHItTx, Limited,” engraved in the Goverment Stamp affixed to each bottle and box. The following are extracts from letters received since January Ist, 1882, from well-known chemists im this country, testifying to the merits of our medicines. These gentlemen would not risk their owm reputations by recommending worthless articles, nor would they make these statements unless they had knowledge of the facts. THomas Date, Upperbridge, Holmfirth :—‘‘ Your Curative Syrup seils wonderfully well, and gives: every satisfaction.”’ W. WIik1nson, Rushden, Higham Ferrers :—“‘ I find increased demand for large size, which shows it. finds favour with the people.’’ J. M. CLENNELL, 25, Derby Street, Newcastle :—‘‘I know of instances where it has not merely relieved, but actually cured after using it two or three months; but testimonials are I believe, often. withheld from a false delicacy of allowing the names to be made public.” Tuomas MILLER, Wednesfield ;—‘* Your medicines have given great satisfaction in this district, and many of my customers speak highly of Mother Seigel’s Syrup.”’ Wma. FLoweEr, Beccles :—‘‘ It is not my habit to recommend any patent medicines to my customers in individual cases, but always have a good word to say for Mother Seigel when my opinion is asked.’’ P. S. BALLARD, Wootton Bassett :—‘‘I have met with some really astonishing cures performed by Seigel’s Syrup, and I recommend it to all of my customers.’’ , G. H. Wuirr, 39, Commercial Street, Mountain Ash :—‘‘I can personally testify to the merits of your medicines.”’ | James FisHER Epispury, M.P.S., 3, High Street, Wrexham :—‘‘I have recommended Seigel’s Syrup, as my personal and relative experience of its merits are indisputable.” W.H. Hewitt, West Cowes, I.W.:—‘‘ Your medicines I have a large sale for—a sale which most certainly does not decrease now that the novelty is wearing off, which speaks well for its real merits.” SEIGEL’S OPERATING PILLS move the bowels with more ease than any others. They never gripe, nor cause any pain or distress. They act mildly, but thoroughly. (S©) > a Ir is often remarked how many more people than formerly complain of feeling unwell.
