COMFORT FOR THE OLD FOLKS

COMFORT FOR THE OLD FOLKS.
Suppose the wheels of time could
suddenly be reversed, and we could,
In an instant, go back to the year 1914.
Why, man, you wouldn't recognise
England. You wouldn't know how to
speak, what to do, or how to UNDER
stand the things around you. You
would be as completely lost as
though you were whisked away
and dropped on the planet Jupiter.
You would find no railways in Eng
land. no telegraphs, no running water
in the City houses, and mighty few
Of the houses themselves that are
standing now. Between 1914 and 1894
the difference Is as great as between
1914 and 1000. Yes; and greater.
Yet lady who was born in 1914
writes us the following letter. She
says: I'm the early part of 1884 /
commenced to feel weak and ailing.
My appetite was bad. and after meals
had an aching pain in the chest and
a most uncomfortable feeling in the
stomach. My mouth tasted badly, and
/ spat up sour, sickening fluid.
was much troubled with wind. belching
1t up frequently. 1t was about all
could do to get around here and there
in the house.
"A woman that knew told me of
a medicine that she said had done her
great deal of good: she called 1t
Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. She
said 1t would no doubt do as much
for me. On hearing this sent and got
bottle from Mr.. F. Daniell's, grocer
and draper, in Linton, and began to
take 1t. I am glad to say that In a
very short time l felt much better.
The bad symptoms I have spoken Of
went away, and soon was as strong
and hearty as I had been before the
trouble came on me.
81 am so years of age, and can do
almost any kind of work easily and
with comfort. owe it to Mother Sci
gels Syrup, and by taking an occa-
sional dose when l feel ailing IL has
kept me IN good hodlh for ten pears.
I recommend the Syrup to all my
friends, and II by printing my letter
in the papers you think other persons
especially those who are advanced in
life-may come to hear o. the Syrup
and use 1t, shall be very pleased to
have you do SO. (S.gned) Mrs. Ann
Woollett, Wheeler's Lane, Linton, near
Maidstone, Jan. 10, 1894"
We do think Mrs. WOOlletts letter
will do good and SO you find 1t printed
here. Now. there are a great many
old people In this country, some Of
them perhaps even older than she
And they need a gentle and good medi
cine like Mother Seigel's Syrup. Ole
age Is time when life is apt to seen
a heavy thing to bear, particularly 4
there Is more or less pain and illness
And this Is sure to be the case. Thu
stomach gives out. Old people can
digest as they once did. Their foot
sours and ferments in the stomach
and makes all those bad feelings tina
Mrs. Woollett herself had. And whel
they cannot eat and digest their food
of course they get weak and feeble
and have to lie in bed or sit in tn,
corner, unable to take the air and 81
about for necessary exercise. Thei
they get to thinking they are In tn,
way, and grow downhearted and low
spirited. Besides, they are likely to b,
troubled with rheumatism, which Is |
complaint peculiarly common to OLE
people, and comes from a bad diges
ton.
Now, for curing and mitigating tn
ailments of old people. there is nothing
In the world so good as Mother Seigel'
Syrup. 1t doesn't sicken them and tea
them all to pieces as some harsh medi
cines do. 1t operates gently an,
thoroughly; 1t doesn't make then
worse before 1t makes them better
For indigestion. dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, and all other aches, pains, an
discomforts of age, It is Just right.
Mother Seigel, who discovered Il
knew what her elderly friends need
ed-nobody better
Well, we can't go back to 1914, an
we don't want to. In spite OF all tn
GROWERS and grumblers. we are bette
of where we are. In 1914 Mother Sci
gels Syrup was never heard Of;
, didn't exist. But everybody knows
; in 1894. It Is one of the great an
: good things Of this end OF the cen
fury.
