Why Am I So Miserable,

WHY AM I SO MISERABLE ,

bo weak and languid : Why such heartburns and pains in the stomach , such acidity , and such an unpleasant taste in the mouth ? Why at times such a gnawing appetite , and then again such disrelish for food ? Why is the mind so frequently irritable , desponding , melancholy , and dejected ? Why does one often feel under the apprehension of some

imaginary danger , and start at any unexpected noise , becoming agitated as though some great calamity was impending ? What is the meaning of these dull , sick headaches ; these violent palpitations of the heart , this feverish restlessness , these night sxveats ; this disturbed and dreamy sleep , xvhich brings no refreshing rest , but only moamngs and mutterings , and the horrors of the nightmare ?

The answer is : These are but the symptoms oi Indigestion or Dyspepsia—the beginning and thc forerunner of almost every other human disease . Indigestion is a xveakness or want of power of the digestive fluids of the stomach to convert the food into healthy matter for the proper nourishment of the body . It is caused most frequently by the irregularity of diet , or improper food , xvant of healthy

exercise and pure outdoor air . It may be induced by mental distress—the shock of some great calamity . It may be , and often is , aggravated and intensified , if not originally brought on , by exhaustion from intense mental application or physical overwork , domestic troubles , anxiety in business , or financial embarrassments . If the

stomach could always be kept in order , death xvould no longer be a subject of fearful anxiety to the young and middle-aged , but would be contemplated by all as the visit of an expected friend at the close of a peaceful and happy old age . However , the first hostile invader upon the domain of health and happiness is Indigestion .

Is there any relief , any remedy , any cure . ' lhat is the question of the suffering and unhappy dyspeptic . What is wanted is a medicine that will thoroughly renovate the stomach , bowels , liver , and kidneys , and afford speedy and effectual assistance to the digestive organs , and restore to the nervous and muscular systems their original energy . Such a medicine is happily at hand . Never in the history of medical discoveries , evidenced by a dozen years '

thorough test , has there been found a remedy for I ndigestion so speedy , so sure , and so surprising in its results as Seigel ' s Curative Syrup ; but to-day it is a standard remedy for that almost universal affliction in every civilised country in Europe , Asia , Africa , and America . Public testimonials and private letters from military officers , bankers , merchants , ship captains , mechanics , farmers , and their wives and daughters , alike confirm its curative

poxvers . " Newton Heath Supply Stores , " 574 , Oldham-road , "December 21 , 1 SS 3 , " GENTLEMEN , —It is astonishing what a sale I have for your'Seigel ' sSyrup . ' Itkcepsincreasing . Ithasworked wonders in this neighbourhood ; there is scarcely a day but

some one is praising it . Several of my customers say had it not been for Seigel ' s Syrup they xvould have been in their graves . In fact , I have a case in my own family ; my xvife had suffered for years with dyspepsia , and tried a good many remedies without effect ; but after taking two bottles of Curative Syrup she was completely cured . —Yours respectfully , "J AMES A . HALL , "
