ONLY LITTLE AT a TIME.

There are sound objections TO ones
knowing too much of his own body.
| am going TO tell you what they are;
not to-day, but soon. To make sure of
them you will have to watch these arti-
cles sharply in the newspapers. Yet
we should know little; and a fraction
of that little will serve up now. Please
favour me with your attention.
Right across the middle of the body
is a large, thin, fiat muscle, stretched
like a canvas awning-the diaphragm.
By it you are divided into two large
storey's or compartments. The upper
one contains the heart and lungs, the
lower one contains (chiefly) the sto-
mach. the intestines, and the liver. The
most painful (internal) diseases occur
downstairs. the least painful upstairs
The entire right side of the lower
compartment. from the top down to
the short ribs, is filled by the liver,
which is suspended to a mere point of
the diaphragm and shakes about with
every movement you make.
Now, from the location of the liver
we have word used for ages to ex-
press one of the most unhappy con-
ditions human being can fall into
the word hypOchOndrid (often abbrevi-
ated to ''hypO"), the word meaning I'M
der the cartridges.
For seven years." writes CORE
spondent, Il suffered from complaint
of the liver was very bilious, my
skin was sallow and dry, and the whites
of my eyes yellow. had much pain and
weight at my right side, and was con-
stantIy depressed and melancholy 1t
seemed TO be out of my power to take
hopeful or cheerful view of anything
The effect of this complaint on the mind
was one of the aspects of it hardest to
bear.
4 had lost my natural appetite and
ate TO support life; but there was no
more any genuine relish for food or
drink. The bad taste in my mouth
made all that took taste bad. Some
times l would be taken sick and throw
up all had eaten; and after a meal, no
matter how slender and simple. | was
troubled with fullness and pain at the
chest. | used many kinds OF medicines,
and while some of them may have re-
lieyed me for the moment, none confer
red any lasting benefit, and l was soon
as bad as ever.
In March, 1892, 1 read in a small
book Of what Mother Seigel's Curative
Syrup had done in cases similar to
mine, and was especially interested in
the account given in the book of the
nature and duties of the liver, and it's
disorders. got bottle of the Syrup
from Boots Drug Stores, and after TAX
ing IL few days felt quite like a new
man. IL seemed TO correct my stomach
and liver and clear my system of all
bile; and Il let me Ia capital health.
Since that time have kept Mother Sci
gels Syrup in the house as a family
medicine and have recommended il to
all my friends as the best known cure
for ailments like the one from which
suffered so miseTably and so long. You
can use this statement as you like.
