Tired, marked yon, not the physical and mental tire, the fagged out because of much work, but too little strengths feeling which is born of indigestion. That in the feeling of irritation, of nervous impatience, that makes women, shrews, men angry brutes. Indigestion meine à sort of starvation, and starving people are seldom pleasant company. The pure is fool--not food that lies dead in your stomach, but food that is onton with a relish and digested promptly, perfectly, just as a periect mill grinds grain.

When your stomach is out of order it cannot do perfect work. In such warm, moist curli tians the stagnant food forments and gives off poisons, instead of the rich nourishment that goes to build up and sustain good blood, muscle, nerve and bone. The poison first taints the blood and is thus carried by it all through the body, dalling the brain sud producing bilions- ness, constipation, dizziness, wlad and pains in the stomach; loss of appetite. That was the condition of Mra. Maris Peacock, of Flamstead, near Dunstable, who wrote not long ago, first used Mother Seigel's Syrup.. My complaint saying:-
