IN CASE OF FIRE.

Your house takes fire. What burns
first? The lightest and most inflam-
mable stuff, of course,-furnitme
doors, shelves, floors, paneling, and
other woodwork. If it is a stone or
brick house the walls will probably
remain standing melancholy sight
Were not this a principle of univer-
sal application Mr. Weddings would
never have compared himself to a
skeleton, as he does in the letter to
which your attention is now invited.
In the autumn OF 1891 he says, q
fell into low, weak state of health.
My ordinary energy appeared to have
gone out of me. 1 always felt tired and
languid, and couldn't account for it.
Nothing seemed to rest me. l was tired
in the morning as when l went 10 bed
had bad taste IN the mouth, my ap-
petite was poor, and after meals had
a pain at my chest and left side.
Il was in this condition until the
14th of March, 1892, and then | had to
give up work. The reason was, ! was
too weak to work. In fact, l was so
weak that it was about as much as |
could do to walk across the floor. Be
sides this had dry, hacking cough;
and at night sweat so the bedclothes
were wet. Sometimes during the day
cold, clammy sweats would break out
all over me.
Il lost flesh rapidly, until l was like
a skeleton. My muscles seemed TO be
shrunken and withered. There was no
feeling OF warmth in me; it was as
though my blood had gone cool and
thin. l was too feeble and helpless to
wash or dress myself, and people said
I was wasting away, as though they ex-
pected to see the end Of il presently.
Il consulted two doctors and they
gave me medicine, but it did me no
good. One day my aunt, Mrs. Benton,
of Francis Street, Walsall, called, and
in the course of talk she said that the
medicine that did her good when she
was i'll was Mother Seigel's Curative
Syrup. Although it didn't look reason
able to believe that it could cure a
case as bad as mine, nevertheless my
wife got me bottle from Mr.. Grove
the chemist in Park Street, and ! CON-
menced taking it. In a few days
found myself much better; my appe-
tite was better, and l had gained a
little strength.
ITO make the story short, I kept OF
taking the Syrup and continued to gel
better. AS soon as l could digest my
food the night sweats and the cough
abated, and in a few weeks I was able
TO go back 10 my work. That is two
years ago. and since then I have beer
in good health for which I have tc
thank Mother Seigel's Syrup. (Signed)
ARTHUR THOMAS WEDDINGS, 115
Harrington Street, Walsall, March 9th
1894"
In a fire, as we said, It is the light
infammable stuff that burns first
That's why Mr.. Weddings got to be 81
CHASTITY thin. The flesh or fat is the
fuel of the body. In health it keep!
up the warmth and furnishes tht
power. And to keep up the fuel Wa
must eat.
Now, disease is a coniagration; il
tries to burn the house up, and Otter
does it. And 1t always burns the fest
up, more or less of il. The fat goes
first, the muscles, etc, afterwards
That's the way of it. About that time
the tenant nloUeS out.
Our friend was well on towards tina
point. But it wasn't lung disease tina
allied him, albeit he had the cough and
the sweats. They go also with indi
gestion and dyspepsia-his real ant
only malady. He got feeble and thin
because his disease wouldn't allow tn,
stomach to digest food. Hence he con
sumed all the flesh he had stored UP
and then luckily for him) he bega1
to take Mother Seigels Curative Syrup
which set his stomach and liver right
and gave his victuals chance to feet
him.
All the same, it is dangerous to let /;
fire get Roadway. When it is in you
body quench the first spark with Moth
er Seigel's Curative Syrup.
