ORDERS AND ARROWS.

When the captain of ship orders some
hands aloft to furl the main royal the mer
jump to obey as a matter of course. A
sailor can climb up on yard without hav-
ing a shilling ashore or a penny in his
pocket. In fact, Jack seldom signs artic es
until he has used up both cash and credit.
Bnt when a doctor-xho is a sort of a
captain when one is laid up in the dry dock
of illness-orders patient to go abroaG for
the benefit of his health, it is quite another
thing A trip and sojourn away from home
is an expensive prescription, and most of
us can't affort it, If the doctor says it is a
choice between that and the graveyard we
shall have to settle on the graveyard; it
is handy by and easy t. get to. But are
we really so hard pushed2 That ls, as often
as the doctors say we are? Let's turn the
matter over in our minds for minute.
Here is a case that is pat to the purpose
1t concerns Mr.. Arthur Whiddon Melhuish
of 3, Regents Terrace, Polsloe Road,
Exeter; and for the details we are indebted
to letter written by him, dated March
7th. 1888. lie mentions that, in obedience
TO the orders of his doctors, he went to
Cannes. in the South of France, in Novem-
ber, 1890, and spent the winter there. He
also spent the following winter at the same
place. h e fell the for the change; we
will tell you why presently. But he obtained
no radical benefit, which also we will ex-
plain later on.
1t appears that this gentleman has been
weak end ailing nearly all his life; not
exactly i'll, not wholly well-a condition
that ca j. for constant caution In Earch,
1-9o he had severe attack OF inf1amma-
ton Of the lungs.
Vow want The reader to honor me with
his best attention. as | must say in a few
words what ought properly t. take many.
Shoot an a.Iow mt the a'r-os straight up
as you can. You can't tell where it will
fall. 1t may fall OF neighbor's head, on
your own, or on a chiid's, or on the pave
mem. Everybody's blood contains more
or less poisonous elements. These are ar
rows, but uniise your wooden arrow they
always strike on the weakest spot, or spots,
in the body. If they hit the muscles and
Joints we call it rheumatism and gout; if
they hit the liver we call it liver complaint
or biliousness; if they hit the kidneys we
cal it hearts disease; if they his the nerves
we call it nervous prosIration, epilepsy, or
any of fiftv other names; if they hit the
bronchial tubes we call it bronchitis, etc.;
if they hit the ar cells zoe call il Inflammation
of the langs, or Dy-and-by consumption.
And inasmuch as these poisoned arrows
pass through the delicate meshes of the
lungs thousand times every day it would
be odd if they didn't hit them-wouldn TIT Z?
Now, wait a bit; it follows that all the
various so-called diseases above named are
not disease at all IN and of themselves, but
merely symptoms of one only disease
namely that disease ciich produces the poison!
Good We will get on to the end of
the story.
After the attack of lung Inflammation
Mr.. Melluish suffered from loss OF appetite,
pain in the chest, sides, and stomach and
dangerous constipation. He could eat only
LIQUID food and had to take to his bed For
weeks he was so feeble tnat he could not
rise in bed. He consulted one physician |
after another, obtaining no more than tenn
porary relief from medicine Then he was |
ordered abroad as we have related.
His letter concludes in these words: |
= Whilst at Cannes | con uited doctor |
who said my ailment was weak digestion |
and need not trouble about my lungs. But |
never gained any real ground until |
November, 1891, when | began TO take
Mother Siegel's Curative Syrup. This
helped me in one weeK, and by continuing
With it, got stronger and stronger, and
im now in fair good health. This, after
ny relatives thought should never r, cover.
oigned) Arthur Whiddon Melluish."
To sum up this gentlemen's real ailment
vas indigest on and dyspepsia, from ichich
he blood poison comes that causes nearly all
and pains. The air of Southern
france helped him temporarily, because It
s milder than ours; it did not remove the
POISON. By care and the use of Mother
'iegels Curative Syrup, he would have
lone better at home, as the result shows.
So We see that it isn't the climate THAI
ills or saves; it is the condition of the di
eston. If therefore your doctor orders /
ou abroad Tor your health, tell him YOU |
'ill first try Mother Siegel's Curative
'yrup.
