she WILL NEVER TELL TAE
SECRET.

Here is a piece of glass; it Is cut
into facets; it is pure white glass it
is fit to he one of the pendants hang
ing from a chandelier in million
aires drawing room it is about as big
as ha2clnut. How it sparklcs as |
hold it between my thumb and finger.
Yet it is merely glass and scarcely
worth a shilling, oh if | only knew
how to turn it into a diamond
blue or rose diamond Why there
are thousands who would give all
their health, and then mortgage their
souls, to buy it of me. Then good
bye to work and care, for | should
be rich beyond the dreams of avarice.
Who will show me the process? Alas ,
nobody. Who will tell me how to
transmute Tin or copper into shining
gold Alas nobody. A bit of coal
is carbon. A diamond is also car
bon. Where is the link between
them! We yearn to know. Thous-
ands of men have burned out life's
candle in the effort to ascertain.
How vainly! In the bosom of her
hills Nature hides that secret, as she
hides the secret of mans destiny
under the mountains of ashes and
crumbling bones. On our Bonded
Knees we beg her to break one I'M
broken seal, to speak one unspoken
word. She only regards us with
contemptuous pity and remains for
ever dumb.
Yet, is there no other mystery,
just as deep, that comes home to
your thoughts in way to brighten
you! Think a minute, man. What
builds aud repairs the house you live
in, that is, your body? What changes
Il loaf of bread into nerves, flesh, skin
and muscle?
What does lhi, mean? as when Il
lady says of her daughter, "She
took food but got no strength from
it" 1t means that in her case the
base products of the ground were
not turned into the diamond called
the human body What does that
mean in familiar EnglishE Simply
that the process Of digestion is inter-
rupted, a process stranger than the
transmutalion of copper into gold
would be.
The lady proceeds to say that her
daughter was seventeen years of age
when she was taken i'll. This is the
age of hope, brightness, vigor, and
enjoyment, and, by rights, illness
ought to be unknown to it. Still,
she lost her strength and languished
as though stricken by time. She
grew tired and weak, and could keep
nothing on her stomach. She would,
so her mother says, often throw up a
quantity of green fluid as bitter as
gall. This was bile, the fluid which
in health nature takes from the blood
and sends to the bowels to aid diges-
ton there. The liver failing TO do
this work, the bile remains in the
blood, and is returned to the stomach,
which rejects it rs a poison. That is
a part of it. The rest saturates the
body, producing headache, nervous
depression and debility, bad dreams,
cold hands and feet, furred tongue,
yellow eyes and skin, dizziness, bad
taste in the mouth, and the gulping
up of nauseating gas and slime,
with loss of appetite and ambition
for labor or pleasure. This state OF
things is often called a bilious attack,
and is part of the results and symp,
toms of Indigestion and dyspepsia.
This affected life, to young or old, is
one constant misery. 1t is the cop.
per, the glass; not the gold or the
diamond.
"Ihis was my daughters condi.
tion," adds her mother, "for nearly
two years. She took various medi
cines, and was treated by physi
clan, bat without benefit. She grew
daily weaker, and with her decline
our anxiety increased. We knew moi
what to do, nor where to look fol
help.
1T was at this worrying time thai
we first heard of the preparation
called Mother Seigel's Syrup, and
read the statements of different per.
sons who said they had derived great
good from it. Thinking, or rather
hoping, that it might avail something
in my daughters case, ] procured {
bottle from Mr.. Rogers Drug Stores
Mullingar. TO our great Joy sh,
found relief after taking the first bot,
tie, and before she had finished TIL,
third one she was completely cureC
and has had no return of the com
plant. | have since recommended
Seigels Syrup to many friends anC
ncighbors. The facts in my daugh
ter's case are well known to Mr.
Rogers and to others in the vicinity
| append my initials and address. II
j. NJ, Slanemore, near Mullingar
Ireland"
Mr. Rogers certifies as follows:-
81 remember the lady above
named informing me Of the-cure o
her daughter by taking Seigel's Syr
up, and can vouch for the accurac,
Of the statement.
