WHAT is THAT ONE THING?

1t seems like an absurdity, yet it is
true all the same. l mean that you
might have cellar full of wood and
coal and still shiver with cold; and
you could if it were not for one thing.
"Oh, that is so obvious" you may say.
1T was hardly worth while to hint at
it. Anybody can see it with his eyes
shut. All the better for me, then; /
shan't have to explain. And by the
same sharpness you will be able to
pick out the important point in two
short letters / am about to copy for
you.
The first runs thus: "In December,
1890, my daughter Mrs. M. ]. Muther)
got into a low, weak, nervous condi-
ton. Do what she would, she could
not get up her strength. Gradually
she wasted away until everyone
thought she was in a decline, and had
not long to live. In fact, she was so
low and detected she did not care
whether she lived or not. She was un-
der a doctor for six months, but his
medicines did her no good. My hus-
band then said. My daughter, l will
now see what can do for you What
he meant was that he would have her
take medicine called Mother Seigeps
Curative Syrup. He had used it him
self when he was ill, and thought it
might prove as beneficial to her as it
had to him.
Mrs. Muther said she was willing
to try the Syrup, although she had lit
tie or no faith in its helping one as bad
as she was. For if she really had con-
sumption we know there is no cure
for that. My husband, however, got
a bottle from Mr.. Hume, the chemist,
in Rochdale Road, and my daughter be-
gan taking it. After the first bottle
we saw great Improvement She
could eat, and the food caused her no
pain. She continued with this remedy,
and gradually gained strength, but it
took some time to bring her round
she was so very low and weak. After
time she was able TO get about, and
never looked behind her. Since then
she has been strong and WELL We have
told many persons how Mother Seigels
Syrup restored her to sound health,
and are willing you should publish this
Statement of the facts. (Signed) fMrs.)

gave me great pain at the chest and
side. My hands and feet were cold, and
nearly all the color left me. l was Of

any work. l was frequently sick, and
could keep no kind OF food down.
Il got weaker and weaker, in spite
of all that was done, and had to be off
my work for seventeen weeks In this
way went on until November of the
same year-1S93. Then happened to
read about Mother SeigePs Syrup and
what it had done for others suffering
like me. l got bottle of this medi-
cine from Mr.. w. Haywood, grocer, in
Oldham Road, and after taking only
the half of it / felt much better. Il
could eat without pain, and was strong
er and brighter every way. When l
had finished the bottle / was quite
cured, and have had no return of the
complaint since. / have told many
others about what the syrup did for
me, and out of thankfulness am will

Both these ladies say that they were
very weak, and that their food-of
which they could take but little-did
them no good. In the midst of plenty
they were actually starving. So much
wasted was one of them that it was
believed she had consumption. The
event showed that they both suffered
from dyspepsia and nothing else. But
that was quite enough, and besides, |
1t often runs into consumption and
other fatal maladies. BY setting the |
stomach right, Mother SeigePs Syrup
'ully cured them both.
Goals and wood are useless without
means to light fire; and bread and
meat are as nothing unless we can |
1igest them and make them part Of |
our flesh and bone. That is easy toI
zee and important to remember. And
{ is its power to help nature work this
transformation that makes Mother
'eigePs Syrup so wonderful remedy.
