ONLY LITTLE AT A TIME.

! There are sound objections to ones
knowing too much of his own body.
l am going to tell you what they are;
/ not to-day, but soon. To make sure OF
them you will have to watch these aru-
cles sharply in the newspapers. Yet
we should know little; and fraction
of that little will serve up now. Please
favour me with your attention.
Right across the middle of the body
is large, thin, fiat muscle, stretched
like a canvas awning-the diaphragm
BY it you are divided into two large
storeys or compartments. The upper
one contains the heart and lungs, the
lower one contains (chiefy) the sto-
mach, the intestines, and the liver The
most painful (internaD 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 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 a human being can fall into
the word hypochOndrid (often abbrevi-
ated to "hypo'D, the word meaning I'M
| der the carriages.
For seven years" writes CORE
spondent, Il suffered from complaint
of the liver l was very bilious, my
skin was sallow and dry, and the whites
l<~f,, 7 ad ma n
weight at my right side, and was con-
stantly depressed and melancholy 1t
seemed TO be out of my power to take
a hopeful or cheerful view of anything.
The effect of this complaint on the mind
was one of the aspects of it hardest to
bear.
Il 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 would be taken sick and throw
up all l had eaten; and after a meal, no
matter how slender and simple, l was
troubled with fullness and pain at the
chest l used many kinds of medicines,
and while some of them may have re-
red any lasting benefit, and was soon
as bad as ever.
In March, 1892, l read in a small
book of what Mother Seigels 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 its
disorders. l got bottle of the Syrup
from Boots Drug Stores, and after TAX
ing it a few days felt quite like new
man. 1t seemed to correct my stomach
and liver and clear my system of all
bile: and it left me in capital health.
Since that time have kept Mother Sci
gels Syrup in the house as family
medicine and have recommended 1t to
all my friends as the best known cure
for ailments like the one from which
suffered so miserably and so long. You
can use this statement as you like

In the spring of 1891 writes an
other. Il found myself in bad health.
1 had no appetite, and the little | did
eat did me no good, gave me no
strength had great pain and weight
at the chest and right side. and my
skin turned saIlow and dry. My kidneys
also acted badly, and from time to time
1 had attacks of gravel, and cold, clam
my, weakening sweats broke out all
over me. Being only seventeen years
old when the trouble began. was
greatly alarmed and anxious. No doc
tor was able to help me, and l con-
tinued thus for over three years. In
June, 1894, / began to use Mother Sci
gels Syrup and soon felt better, lighter
and more cheerful. And by taking it
few weeks longer l recovered my health
and strength. Since then, when / have
any stomach, liver or kidney symptoms
resort to Mother Seigel's Syrup, and
it never fails to set me right. You can

The stomach, the liver and the kid
neys are all connected parts of the food
and digestive system. When disordered
4 usually through torpidity of the stom
ach) they cripple the body and throw
a gloom as of night over the mind.
On the earliest signs of anything wrong
with them use Mother Seigel's Syrup at
once.
