A SHORT TALK ON BEING TIRED

Are you a working man or a working |
woman? | don't mean one who is so
by classification, or by having been |
born on the sinister side of certain |
lines of social cleavage, but solely be

honest, and useful work? Yes? I
shake your hand l hope you manage
to live by it without OVERRIDING. and

YOU sometimes find yourself tired. dog

plenty of good feed for supper. Then
hey, for bed and q genuine sleep Of
eight hours; to jump from bed in the
morning. both feet on the floor at once.
That's the right kind of tired" and the
heayen-descended brand OF rest. Il is

in its train.
But the variety OF fatigue so many
people are all the time writing us about
is different Listen TO this one, for in

l was easily tired and comparatively
slight efforts served to exhaust me
completely. Indeed, I never seemed
rested at all, and was as tired in the
morning as when l went TO bed. Both
muscles and mind were inert and re-

seemed 10 be tired, too. l had no rel

easiness and distress in the stomach
and pain at the chest Ny skin was
sallow also. and there was dull acl-
ing at my right side in the region of
the liver
I was constantly bleching up a sour
fluid. and my food would sometimes
repeat or rise into MY mouth. All

stronger hold upon me.
-On account of my inability TO eat
and digest food my flesh fell of until

And I was so weak l could scarcely get

month after month, unfit. of course,
for work and virtually man out or the
worlds fight
The doctor who prescribed for me
probably understood my case, but he
was not able, apparently, TO cure me.
And l notice it is in illness as it is
in business; unless one holds his own
he is bound TO be falling behind, which
made me anxious 10 obtain relief soon.

it. And in answer to the hope finally
came the help l needed
In July of last year $3.50 l read
about Mother Seigel's Syrup in a small
pamphlet which was left at our house

Mr.. HardakeF is agent for the Pearl
Assurance Society, and is well and
widely known. His own intelligent
comments On his complaint renders
any words Of ours quite needless. n
private conversation he said he looked
upon that unnatural tired" feeling as
a warning that none should neglect. Il
means, not the effect Of work, but OF
exhaustion through that subtle disease
indigestion. Mother SeigeIs Syrup
should be taken then, as he would have
taken il then had ne heard Of it. We
hope 5Ir Hardaker's timely words,
based as they are on an instructive
experience will be needed by all to
whom they apply.
