VITELIIIS LOST HIS APPST/TB.  .....Vitelius," says the historian, "lost his appetite." And small blame to him. Any man might well have done the same under the circumstances. For Vitatins was a politician depending for both his prosperity and his life upon the favour of Nero. And the favour of that eminent statesman was ever an uncertain quality. He was a "boss" —as the Americana put it—of a most despotio and overbearing character. What he would do was hard to divine; yet that he would do something mean and wicked was fairly sure. To oppose him was a bid for immediate destruction; to serve him was only a trifle safer. This fact, as may be Imagined, made an official career under Nero a very ticklish and worrying business. Within a few days previous to the date to which the historian refers several courtiers had received intimation from the Emperor that he would there. after try to ran the Government without their help; and also that it might save them farther trouble if they should at once "open their veins"; in other words, kill themselves. The effect of this hint upon the different persons concerned is described; "and, as for Vitelins," it its deliciously suggested, "he lost his appetite." We can easily believe it, especially when we remember that, tinder the Camara, orders of that sort always went for their face value. If the man couldn't run away—which was difficult—he had to commit suicide. '  Ah ! dear me. If nothing less than an incident each as happened to this Roman patrician could spoil one's appetite what lucky dogs we should be! Bat almost any mental shock or disturbance will upset the appetite; and then we shouldn't try to eat. Long continued, an impaired appetite will produce indigestion, just as indigestion when it occurs first, will ruin the appetite. The two play into each other's hands. But, bear in mind, when the appetite I. below par it is worse than use. less trying to force matters. I read a pamphlet the other day (a kind of advertising pamphlet I think it was) in which the writer said we should not tolerate any disposition on the part of the stomach to shirk its duty; if it doesn't call for food we ought to 1111 it full anyway, leo., do. This is a mistake. On his own theory that man should try to cure • sprained ankle by dancing a hornpipe on it, or an inflamed eye by compelling it to read a thousand pages of fine print. Rah! the idea is erroneous, and will not bear the light of day. When Mr. George Newman lost his appetite he.didn't stuff himself with food to spite his stomach. lie knew better. Ile looked around for a medicine to cure the disease that caused it, and (eventually) he found one. "For many years," he says, "I suffered from bronchitis, I was so low and weak it was hard for me to get about. My appetite was bad, and even the little I eat gave me pain at the cheat and stomach. I was terribly troubled with phlegm, and eontinually straining to bring it up. My breathing was labourwd, and often I could scarcely get my breath. During the summer I got on fairly well, but every winter I had very bad attacks, and was confined to the house for weeks. I was unable to follow any regular employment, and at the best could only work a little at • time on my allotment. "Year after year I suffered ; sometimes No badly I thought my time had come. In January of this year (1897), Mr. Simpson, of this parish, told me of the good Mother Seigel's Syrup had done him and persuaded me to try it. Be gave me a bottle, and after I had taken it I felt myself another man. I could eat and enjoy my meals, and was in every way easier and better. I got a further supply from Mr. Goody, Chemist, and continued taking it. Soon my breathing was quite easy and natural; the pains left me and I grew stronger. By taking a little now and then I keep In good health. You may publish this statement as you like."—(Signed) George Newman, Bel. champ St. Paul, Clare, Suffolk, November 12, 1897. . . . . . . .  Appetite is Nature's way of letting you know that she needs food and can digest a reasonable amount of it. When there is no appetite (or hunger) either the body has food enough for the present or the digestive organs are diseased and can dispose of little or none even if received. The latter was Mr. Newman condition. He had dyspepsia; his stomach could not handle food properly, and Nature notified him of it by spoiling his appetite and by punishing him with pain for every mouthful he swallowed. Yet to live, he was obliged to eat! A miserable and a dangerous state of things. Happily Mother Seigel'. Syrup solved the contradictory problem by oaring his "ZetPelrea, as we have learned, lost his appetite through fright and fear. No medicine could help him. Hie only remedy was to get out of Nero's clutches. When appetite ceases from mental reasons, shake them off as soon as you can. But when the cause is indigestion or dyspepsia—the common cause--the cure is at your Saga's guide— Take Mother Seigel's Syrup.
