DON'T LET THE CLOCK RUN
DOWN

THE human body" says great ply
sician lis seVenty-year clock"
Yes, and like all other clocks the time
it will run down depends largely on
how it is treated. Take the pendulum
weight off the end of the wire and your
clock will rattle away at the rate of
half a dozen hours in one. Neglect il
and 1t will run irregularly; now fast,
now slow. Break the handspring, or a
wheel and 1t stops instantly. Take in
telligent care of it and a good cock
will serve your grandchildren as faith
fully as it now serves you.
There is an important difference
however. between your clock and your
body. Even after your clock is com
pletely run down and at a Standstill
you can wind it up and set it going
again. Not so with your body. once
stopped it goes no more.
We know the limits of his meaning
perfectly well, yet, speaking literally,
Mr.. Matthew l.. Brown was not com
pletely run down at the time he re-
fers to. Thankful we are, and more
thankful still he is, for that. But he
was frightfully near it. The pendulum
beat very slowly and weakly, and the
hands could scarcely be trusted to tell
the true time.
About five years ago" writes Mr.,
Brown, Il was completely run down.
| lost my appetite. / could get nothing
to lie on my stomach. Sometimes |
would take dizzy spells and nearly fall
down, and won d see black dots before
my eyes. l kept getting worse all the
time.
II tried different patent medicines;
they gave me no relief. L kept getting
worse. / tried two of the best doctors
in the place: they aid me no good. |
was obliged to take to my bed.
II would take faint spells and my
heart would beat and hutter, and |
would nearly smother for breath. l
felt more like dying than living"
THESE fainting or sinking spells of
which Mr.. Brown speaks are pecu lar
feature of the disease he was suff ering
from. Only modern physicians, and not
all of them, understand their gravity
or have given them the study they call
for. No sensation is more alarming,
none more demoraizing to the patient.
While they last the angel of death
seems to have folded his wings over the
sufferers pale and anxious face. The
cause is a poison in the blood arising
from continued fermentation of food
in the stomach. 1t acts upon the nerves
OF the brain, lungs and heart as hand
might impede the pendulum of great
clock
II began to think" adds our CORE
spondent, that | never should get
around again. My wife wanted me to
try Mother Seigel's Syrup. l said l
didn't think it was any use. She went
and got a bottle of Mother Seigel's
Syrup, and before l had taken 1t all |
was able to go to my work.
II have taken several BOTTLES since.
am now able to work as hard as ever.
L would auvIse any one that is suffering
as | was to try Mother Segels Cura-
tive Syrup, and 1t vii. not be in vain.
Yours truly (SlgnedD Matthew L.,
Brown, cast Mapleton, March 2Sth,
1896"
yur friend labored under a profound
attack OF indigestion or dyspepsia. The
symptoms he described we're due to Its
effects upon the nervous system, and
through that upon other organs. 1t
follows that the me -lcine to avail him
must be one having power to expel ex-
listing impurities from the hood, rouse
to action the stomach and yer, render
nutrition poss.ple by means of the re-
stored digestion, and so give new life
to the whole body
This Is what Mother Seigels Syrup
did for our correspondent, and does for
all who appeal to II under like circum-
stances. 1t WINDS up the clock before
the pendulum has ceased to swing. But
keep an eye to that bodily clock of
yours. and don't let IL run so far down.
In other words. the very hour you feel
the first sign OF lIlness take dose OF
Mother Seigers Syrup,
