COMFORT FOR THE OLD FOLKS

suppose tne wheels OF time cOuIn
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 10
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 1900. 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
most uncomfortable feeling in the
stomach. My mouth tasted badly, and
| spat up sour, sickening fluid.
was much troubled with wind, belchine
could do to get around here and there
in the house.
"A woman that l knew told me OF
medicine that she said had done hel
great deal OF good; she called II
Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. She
said it would no doubt do as much
for me. On hearing this sent and got
bottle from Mr.. +. Daniell's, grocer
and draper, In Linton, and began to
take 1t. ! am glad to say that In a
very short time l felt much better
The bad symptoms ! have spoken of
went away, and soon | was as strong
and hearty as ! had been before the
trouble came on me.
Il 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 | feel ailing il has
kept me IN good hcdlH for ten ycdrs
| recommend the Syrup to all my
friends, and If by printing my letter
in the papers you think other persons
especially those who are advanced In
| life-may come to hear of the Syrup
and use it, shall be very pleased tc
have you do so. (Signed) Mrs. Ann
Woollett, Wheeler's Lane, Linton, neal
Maidstone, Jan. 16, 1894"
We do think Mrs. Woolletts letter
will do good and so you find it printed
here. Now, there are great many
| old people in this country, some OF
them perhaps even older than she
And they need gentle and good medl.
| cine like Mother Seigel's Syrup. Old
age is a time when life is apt to seem
heavy thing to bear, particularly II
there is more or less pain and illness
And this is sure to be the case. The
stomach gives out. Old people cam
digest as they once did. Their foot
4 sours and ferments in the stomach
and makes all those bad feelings tha
Mrs. Woollett herself had. And wher
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 e
about for necessary exercise. Thel
they get to thinking they are in tn,
way, and grow downhearted and low
spirited. Besides, they are likely to l.,
troubled with rheumatism. which is {
complaint peculiarly common to ole
people, and comes from a bad diges
tion.
Now, for curing and mitigating tn,
ailments Of old people. there is nothin,
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 it makes them better
For indigestion, dyspepsia, rheuma
tism, and all other aches, pains, an,
discomforts Of age, 1t is Just right.
Mother Seigel, who discovered 1,
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
growlers 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. II Is one OF the great an
good things OF this end OF the cen
tury.
