PLUMP AGAINST A BIG FACT.

PLUMP AGAINST A BIG FACT.
1t is not properly any part of my
business to enforce lessons in ethics;
therefore, l commonly leave that re-
sponsible task TO those whose voca-
| ton it is. But no man can continually
write on the subject which constitutes
| the burden of these essays without now
and then running plump against a
mighty fact in morals. If you will be
! good enough to read the following short
| letters l will then try to show why L
/ was moved to speak as l have spoken
My daughter Annie Jane" writes
| that young girls mother, now years
! of age, was a fine, healthy child up TO
March, 1891, when she began to sicken
and fall away. She had no appetite
and every particle of food she took
came up. She lost strength rapidly,
and within a fortnight she was thin
as rake, being not much else than
SKIN and bone. For days and days
she laid in half-conscious condition,
scarcely moving hand or foot, and 20
| all appearance lifeless. 1 had a doctor
| attending her for four weeks, and he
said the child was suffering from indl-
gestion, yet, so far as we could see, his
treatment had no effect. My husband
and 1, and all that saw the poor baby,
thought she was slowly dying, and we
were almost heart-broken at the
thought of losing her.
Nothing that we gave her did the
slightest good, and the child was fading
away, when one day, towards the end
of April, a lady called, and after see
ing Annie Jane, advised us to use
Mother Seigels Syrup. She said she
had known the lives of many children
saved by this medicine who were down
with the same complaint. / hurried
to get bottle from Mr.. Routly, the
chemist, in Susan's Road, and began
giving it in small doses. In less than
"A hours the child began to eat, the
sickness stopped, and we could see a
change for the better. We kept on
giving the Syrup, and in two weeks
Annie was well as ever, and fast get
ting back her flesh. Since that time
now four years ago-she has never
been i'll. We consider that Mother
Seigeis Syrup saved her life. You can
publish this statement and refer any
one to me. (Signed) Mrs. Annie Alex

my son Joseph" writes Mr.. Joseph
Bond of Salters Green, Mayfield, Sus-
sex, was never strong. lie did not
come on like other children. He was
weakly, sickly and puny He ate
but little, and was usually in pain
until he vomited most of it up
In February, 1894, his feet and
!, assesses formed on his neck and III
der the chin, making deep holes. He
was merely skin and bone. The alb
scesses seemed to be exhausting his
; life's blood. He was in doctors care
five months, but got no better. From
July, 1894, he had four months treat
ment at the Tunbridge Wells Hospital
without benefit. The doctors gave him
medicines and cod-liVer OIL but moth
ing Strengthened him.
''In December, 1894, l concluded to
take the case into my own hands, and
gave him medicine that had cured
my wife-Mother Seigefs Syrup. Tc
, our establishment and delight he be-
gan to improve in few days. He
could eat, and was stronger for it. We
kept giving him the Syrup, and he
grew better every day. The abscesse;
soon healed, and he is now a fine
healthy boy, years old, and strong
r for the first time since he iCas born
r Publish this letter if you wish and re,
fer inquirers to me. (SigneD Joseph
Bond, July Goth, 1895"
Z What, now, is that mighty fact in
( morals? Ask yourself the question
: What justice was there in the suffer
ing of these two little children? Fol
whose sake was it? Why do the ma
jcrity of the human race die in infancy
and childhood? That bundle of laws
and forces called nature" has not pity
: nor mercy. Obey and live; disobey and
perish, that's the whole story.
Then how does Mother Seigel's Sy-
rup cure? 1t cures by bringing the
diseased and suffering body back where
natures hand can reach it. 1t puts III
deTdiled coach back on the metals, il
re-ldnches the stranded ship. The radi-
cal trouble of both Annie Alex
ander and Joseph Bond was of the
digestion, the first Ia mere baby then,
. having been seized with acute indiges-
) ton, and the boy having, as his faith
er tells us, been born with a feeble
! stomach. Hence, in his case the bad
; blood and the assesses by which
nature sought to remove it. Will pa
: rents take warning from these in
stances? l hope so. Watch the little
ones and use Mother Seigel's Syrup
whenever you see them inclined tc
: droop or languish.
