THE 197 VIGOUR
of HEALTH
The vigour and buoyancy of health can only come through strength derived from food. Unless you thoroughly digest what you eat, and extract the nourishment your food con tains, you cannot secure the blessing of robust health. Good digestion is only pos sible when stomach, fiver 'and bowels perform their lunc tions naturally and efficiently...
Mother Seigel's Syrup tones, strengthens and regulates the action of the stomach, liver and bowels, enabling them to do the work Nature requites of them, etciently, and without strain. This accomplished, eating becomes a pleasure, and your food, being well-digested, will nourish and strengthen your whole being
