▲ NEW, WAR MINISTER.

In August last General of Cavalry von Einem was remored from the Ministry of War and appointed to the command of the 7th Army Carpe in pinos of General von Bernhardi. General of Infantry von Hesringen succeeded to the vacant Ministry General von Finem had been in office for six years and had proved him self to be a capable and energetic War Minister, It is difficult to say whether bis removal from the Ministry or that of Bernhardi from sn sotive command has caused most perturbation. The Imperial system appears to consert but poorly the retention in office of men of independence and originality.

MOTHER

SEIGEL'S SYRUP

If your stomach is out of order you cannot digest food, and when food remains undigested in your stomach it cannot give you proper nourishment. Undigested food creates poisonous acts which taint your blood, and cause constipation, biliousness, headaches, sleep fessness, pains in the stomach, cheat, back; dizziness, langues, low spirits. Mother Seigel's Syrup tones and strengthens the stomach so that it CAN thoroughly digest food, and thus it makes food nourish you.

THE HERBAL REMEDY FOR STOMACH AND LIVER DISORDERS.

The Syrup also gently stimulates the liver and bowels to healthful, nor mal activity; keeps your blood pure, your system free from the decayedTM products of Indigestion. If you have stomach or liver trouble. Mother Seigel's Syrup will care you. Mr. H.
