During the last ten months many of
these schoolboys have volunteered for active service and have been drafted into the army, but the work of the Jugend- wchy is being extended and carried on with increasing zeal as the pressing need for endless supplies of soldiers becomes more and more evident: In some cases parents have been reluctant to allow their sons to enter these corps, and various dis- putes have arisen from this cause. When persuasive methods have failed, the local authorities have frequently applied the full weight of official pressure, which is generally irresistible in Germany, so that very many lads of the Jugendwehr are unwilling conscripts.

You see what seemed sheer bad luck was wholly the fault of the gentleman who complained. Can't the same thing be said of many sufferers from Indigestion They persist in neglecting the warnings Nature gives them. By inattention to the most ordinary safeguards, they allow this complaint to get them into its grip. Then they whine about their hard luck.
Of course you can't help but feel sorry for the victims of Indigestion. They rise in the morning tired, and are dull and heavy throughout the day. Their tongues are coated. Food either tempts the appetite, por has relish when it is eaten. Most meals are succeeded by the distress of stomach or bowel pains, Frequently sickness follows. There may be the discomfort of Actulence, acidity, or heartburn,.
Those are a few of the symptoms when stomach, liver and bowels are allowed to get, and continue, out of order. Be sure of this, every day they are neglected only makes the trouble more serious. Why not keep a tight hand on this burglar of your health by taking Mother Seigel's Syrup? Nearly half a century's success has made its merits as a digestive remedy a house- hold word.
It would be interesting to be able to watch the future career of this unhappy apprentice.
