COMFORT FOR THE OLD FOLKS

| 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 1900. Yes; and greater.
Yet lady who was born in. 1914
writes us the following letter. She
says: ''In the early part of 1884
commenced to feel weak and ailing.
My appetite was bad, and after meals
l had an aching pain in the chest and
a most uncomfortable feeling in the
stomach. My mouth tasted badly, and
l spat up a sour. sickening fluid.

1t up frequently. II 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
a great deal of good; she called It
Mother Seigels Curative Syrup. She
said 1t would no doubt do as much
for me. On hearing this sent and got
| l,xt la na oil n,
and draper, in Linton. and began to
take 1t. I am glad to say that In a
very short time felt much better.
The bad symptoms ] have spoken OF
went away. and soon I was as strong
and hearty as I had been before the
trouble came on me.
II am so years OF age. and can do
almost any kind of work easily and

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 of the Syrup
and use 1t, shall be very pleased to
have you do so. (Signed) Mrs. Ann
Woollett, Wheeler's Lane, Linton, near
Maidstone, Jan. 16, 1894"
We do think Mrs. Woollett's letter
will do good and so you find 1t 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 medi-
cine like Mother Seigel's Syrup. Old
age is a time when life is apt to seem
| a 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 can't
digest as they once did. Their food
sours and ferments in the stomach,
and makes all those bad feelings that
| Mrs. Woollett herself had. And when
they cannot eat and digest their food,
of course they get weak and feeble,
and have to lie in bed or sit in the
corner, unable to take the air and go
about for necessary exercise. Then
they get to thinking they are in the
way, and grow downhearted and low

troubled with rheumatism, which Is n
complaint peculiarly common to old
people, and comes from bad diges-
tion.
Now, for curing and mitigating the
ailments of old people, there Is nothing
in the world so good as Mother Seigel's
Syrup. 1t doesn't sicken them and tear
them all to pieces rs some harsh medi-
cines do. 1t operates gently and
thoroughly; 1t doesn't make them
worse before 1t makes them better.
For indigestion. dyspepsia, rheuma-
tism, and all other aches. pains. and
discomforts Of age, 1t is Just right.
Mother Seigel who discovered II,
knew what her elderly friends need
ed-nobody better.
Well, We can't go back to 1914. and
we don't want to. In spite OF all the
growlers and grumblers. we are better
of where We are. In 1914 Mother Sell
gels Syrup was never heard Of: II
didn't exist. But everybody knows II
in 1894. It Is one OF the great and
good things OF this end OF the cen
tury.
