PLUMP AGAINST A BIG FACT.

1t is not properly all J. part of my
business to enforce lessons in ethics;
therefore, | commonly leave that re-
sponsible task to those whose yoca-
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 he
good enough to read the following short
letters 1 will then try to show why
was moved to speak as l have spoken.
MY daughter Annie Jane" writes
that young girls mother, now years
of age, was 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 a half-conscious condition,
scarcely moving hand or foot, and 20
all appearance lifeless. l had 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 l, and all that saw the poor baby,
thought she was slowly dying, and We
we're 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, lady called, and after see
ing Annie Jane, advised US to use
Mother SeigeTs Syrup. She said she
had known the lives of many children
saved by this medicine who were down
with the same complaint. 1 hurried
to get a 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
SeigePs 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 Salter's Green, Mayfield, Sus-
sex, was never strong. ne 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
again. Nothing gave him strength.
In February, 1894, his feet and
ankles began to tester. Next three
assesses formed ON his neck and IN
der the chin, making deep holes. He
was merely skin and bone. The abb
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 SeigePs Syrup To
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 assesses
soon healed, and he is now a fine,
healthy boy, 9 years old, and strong
for the first time since he Wds born.
Publish this letter if you wish and re-
fer inQuirers to me. (Signed) Joseph
Bond, July Goth, 1895"
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? For
whose sake was it? Why do the ma
jority of the human race die in infancy
and childhood? That bundle of laws
and forces called mature" 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
