Sewer Gas In The System.

SEWER GAS IN THE SYSTEM .

For several years the public press has been filled with articles relative to the deleterious effects of sewer gas . Sanitary engineers have racked their brains to devise means for preventing its entry into our houses , so as to avoid the many fatal diseases which are traced directly to its poisonous influences upon the human system . While we have been

diligent and watchful in preventing sewer gas from entering our houses , we have been neglectful and allowed its formation within our own bodies . Sewer gas is as fatal in its effects upon the system whether formed inside our bodies or without . The food taken into the stomach , if not properly digested , ferments , decays , and becomes putrid . The effect of this putrefaction is the production of a gas

precisely like sewer gas , and just as poisonous . This poisonous substance enters the circulation , and pervades the whole system , and then people wonder they feel tired and languid , with a swimming , dizzy head—wonder why the appetite has failed , and that they feel weak and feeblethey wonder why the breath has become offensive , and that they have pain and distress . But when this matter is fully

understood there is no cause to wonder , for this foul gas has poisoned the whole system . The food we eat should be digested , or it does us injury . The familiar saying that "it is not what we eat that makes us strong , but what we digest , " isa truthful saying , and we cannot be too particular about the digestion of our lood . More than nine-tenths of all our diseases arise from imperfect digestion . When we know that imperfect digestion is followed by the

production of this foul gas within the body , and that it is absorbed into the system as fast it is formed , is it a wonder that we are ill ? The -wonder is that -we are alive . How important it is , then , that the digestive organs should be made to perform their functions by the timely use of Seigel ' s Curative Syrup , which has proved an unfailing remedy in such cases . Its reputation is based upon a trial that has extended over a period of many years . It seldom fails .

A RICH BANKER IN THE CITY Said to us a few days ago , ' * Do you know , I always keep Seigel ' s in my house ; it prevents those awful sick turns of headache I used to have . " VVe remarked , "We knew that the Syrup possessed wonderful curative properties , but we did not know that the keeping it in the house would prevent disease . " " I don't mean that , " said he . "Two

years ago I had dreadful attacks of headache every week . The veins of my head became swollen , and my eyes bloodshot . I was obliged to go home and go to bed . Well , Seigel ' s Syrup cured me . Now , when I have eaten a little too much I take a small dose of the Syrup , and it prevents headache . I have not had an attack for two years . One of our clerks was afflicted in the same way , and it has cured him also . "

I HAVE NOT HEARD A SINGLE COMPLAINT . " Baldock , Herts , January 4 th , 1 S 83 . " Gentlemen , —Perhaps it would be appropriate to state that it gives me great pleasure to push and advance the sales of vour medicines , on account of their worth . I have

not had or heard a single complaint about your medicines since I sold them ; but , on the other hand , unbounded testimony as to their worth ; therefore , I can with confidence bring them to the public notice . —Faithfully yours , " H . J . IZZARD , Pat . Med . Vendor
