EXPLAINED IN FIVE MINUTES.

You have heard it said that the boy
IS father to the man. Yes. Very good.
Now see what prodigiOus deal may be
led up in that idea.
Youth is the sowing time of life and
maturity the reaping time. You agree
20 that. Very good-again. In youth
Iature puts forth every effort to build
up your body. She absorbs everything
me can lay hands on for that purpose.
The whole body throbs with life as at
10 other time. Nature scrapes togeth
n building material II mean food)
from every direction. You know what
eaters healthy children are. Nature is
lot thinking of the future. She is
linking on.y Of nOU-NOW. She is
greedy to make you man, and per-
fectly careless of what becomes of you
after that.
Your appetite is gagged by the needs
of growth-not by YOU ability to di-
sest. So it comes to pass that. in no
end of cases, young people eat TOO
much. They eat wrong things, they
eat without any thought of regularity.
Hence insufficient gastric juice digest
ing juice, stomach distension, and
fermentation. Bits (smal bits, of
course) of undigested food get into the
circulation, and through the right side
of the heart into the lungs, where they
obstruct the minute blood vessels at
The top of the lungs.
What then? Why, they finally be-
come organized into tubercle or changed
into the chalky or cheesy deposits so
often found there. The end. sooner or
alter, Is consumption. Over feeding, ir-
regular feeding, or under feeding, all
give rise to Indigestion; and indiges-
lion is, more than anything else, the
cause Of consumption, and of lot of
lilments which we suffer from be-
sides.
For example, woman says: I'm

II saw doctor after doctor and got
medicine from the dispensary, but
nothing helped me. After two years
suffering a lady who came to see me
said she had been benefited by Mother
Seigel's Syrup, and gave me a bottle.
After taking 1t week l found myself
improving; my appetite being better,
and food agreeing with me. ! had less
sickness, and felt better altogether.

and nervous feeling soon left me. Since
