THE SURE CURE

FOR PAINS AFTER EATING

CONSTIPATION BILIOUSNESS HEADACHES

The best of food cannot nourish you unless you digest it properly. The relish for food and the power to digest it depend on the healthy action of your stomach, liver and bowels. When these organs are disordered, your food does not properly digest, but ferments and gives off poisuus that enter your blood and bring on pains after eating, Mother Seigel's headaches, biliousness, constipation.

IS THE HERBAL TONIG Syrup is the best remedy for all these troubles, because the herbal extracts of which it is made quickly restore the stomach, liver and bowels to natural working order. Then you can relish and digest your food, your system is freed from the poisonous products of Indigestion, and good health follows naturally, Mr. W. Palmer, 26, Alfred Terrace, Wharf Street, Leicester, says My five years' indigestion was ended by Mother Seigel's Syrup."
