NEEDLESS ALARM.

NEEDLESS ALARM.
Whether the suffering which people
undergo from disease is more physical
than mental is point not easy to de-
eide. 1t depends largely on the ma
ture of the disease, and the makeup
of the individual Experience seem to
show, however, that in one prevailing
disease indigestion or dyspepsia, the
two kinds of suffering are very evenly
divided and both very great, the men
tai distress being chiefly due to the illu-
sions and receptions which attend it.
For example, though dyspepsia is sole
| ly an affection of the digestive organs,
it has power to set up disorders in
others which always alarm the suffer-
er, and often perplex his medical adj
visers. These symptoms or sequences
may relate to the head, the heart, the
sight, the hearing the lungs, or to
other organs or functions. Take an
| illustration or two.
'In the spring of 1884," says Mr..
Edward latham, Il fell into a low
weak state of health. l had foul
taste in the mouth, and was constantly
splitting up thick phlegm. My appe-
tite was poor and after eating had
| fulness and pain at the chest-the
latter seemed to be pulled or swollen.
What made me most anxious was my
breathing, which came to be so difficult
and short that at times l could only
catch my breath by an effort. | was
led to fancy that something must all
my lungs, especially as so great a
quantity of mucus gathered in my
throat and mouth. 1t was usually
worse at night, and l got very little
sleep on account of it; sometimes none
at all. In morning would be quite
worn out
las time went on l became very
weak, and was much put to it to get
about. l took all kinds of medicines
and got no proper relief from anything.
In February, 1893, Mr.: William Boards
ley, grocer, Cotmanhay, told me how
he had been cured of like trouble by
Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup Act
ing on his advice I got bottle of this
medicine from Mr.. Platt's Drug Stores,
Awsworth Road, and after taking it
felt quite another man. My breathing
was easier and my food agreed with
me. | continued using the Syrup, and
got stronger and better every day.
When | had taken four bottles l was
as we'll as ever, being free from all pain
or discomfort. My wife, who has
suffered for years from Hrer complaint,
has taken the Syrup with the same
good results as in my own case. You
are at liberty to make any use you
like of this statement (Signed) Ed
ward latham, Tatham's Lane, Cot
manhay Road, Ilkeston, Derbyshire,
March 21st, 1885,"
In October, 1885," writes another,
81 began to feel weak, heavy, and tired.
Ny appetite was poor, and after eating
had distress at the stomach, together
with sh0rtResS Of breath, and good
deal of pain across the chest. Some
times | would be taken with sudden
dizziness, as though l must fall to the
ground. Cold, clammy sweats used to
break out all over me and | trembled
from head to foot Finally, 1 got so
weak | could scarcely walk to my
work. Indeed, l had occasionally to
long as month at a time. In this
way l suffered for about two years.
I'm August, 1890, Mr. Thompson, the
grocer in Church Street, urged me to
try Mother Seigels Syrup. After TAX
ing only one bottle felt better My
food agreed with me and l was strong
eT. Continuing with this medicine,
gradually all pain left me, and l com
pletely recovered my health. Since
then have kept the Syrup in the house
for use in time of need. You are free

field, October 18th, 1885,"
Cases of supposed disease of the
heart, OF the nervous system, of the
kidneys, &C., constantly prove to be,
not organic affections of those parts
at all, but merely local or functional
disturbances caused by the toxic or
poisonous principles thrown into the
blood by the decomposition or fer
mentation of food in the stomach;
otherwise, by dyspepsia or indigestion.
But until they are discovered to be so
they are mistakenly treated; and Sc
rious, often fatal, results, follow. Until
pronounced and undeniable symptoms
of organic mischief show themselves
(which is not the case once in a hun
dred times) you may take it for grant
ed that your ailment is some form of
dyspepsia, easily durable by Mother
Seigel's Syrup, as demonstrated by the
two instances cited above.
