DON'T LET THE CLOCK RUN
DOWN

THE human body" says great ply
stefan, lis a seventy-year clock"
Yes, and like all other clocks. the time
1t will run down depends largely on
how it Is treated. rake the pendulu II
weight off the end of the wire and your
clock will rattle away at the rate Of
half a dozen hours in one. Neglect It
and it will run irregulary, now fas,,
now slow. freak the handspring or IA
wheel and it stops christianity. Ia e in
tenngent care of it and a good clock
will serve your grandchildren as faith
fully as 1t now serves you.
There is an important difference
however, between your clock and yoLr
body. Even after your clock is com
pletely run down and at a stands |
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 meant

Mr.. Matthew l.. Brown was not com
pletely run avn" at the time he re-
fers to. Thankful we are, and more
thankful still he is for that. But h
was frightfully near it. The pendulum
beat very slowly and WEAKLY, a. the
hands could scarcely be trusted to tell
the true time.
About five years ago" writes Mr..
Brown, II was completely run down.
1 lost my appetite. l could get nothing
to lie on my stomach. Sometimes ]
would take dizzy spells and nearly fal
down, and would see black dots before
my eyes. / kept getung worse all the
time.
Il tried different patent madicines
they gave me no relief. i kept getting
worse. l tried two of the best doctors
in the place; they did me no good. l
was obliged to take to my bed
II would take faint spells and my
heart would beat and flutter, and l
would nearly smother for breath. felt
more like dying than living"
[These fainting or sinking spells of
which Mr.. Brown speaks are peculiar
feature of the disease he was suffering
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 alarminy :,
none more demoralizing to the patient.
While they last the angel of death
seems to have folded his wings over the

cause is 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

II began to think" adds our CORE

around again. My wife wanted me to

and got a bottle of Mother Seigels
Syrup, and before l had taken it all I

1 would advise any one that is suffering

Our friend labored under a profound
attack OF indigestion or dyspepsia. The
symptoms he described were due to its
effects upon the nervous system. and
through that upon other organs. 1t
follows that the medicine to avail him
must be one having power to expel ex-
listing impurities from the blood. rouse
to action the stomach and liver, render
nutrition possible 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 Toes for
all who appeal to 1t 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 1t run 80 far down.
In other words. the very hour you feel
the first sign OF Illness take dose OF
Mother Seigels Syrup.
