I was low in eoirits, and my bodily strength seemed to be leaving me. There was a bad and nauseous tiste in my mouth ; my appetite, which had always been good failed until I had no teal -desire for food whatever, and " after eating I had much pain *t the chest and a fullness at the sidee. My stomach always felt burning hot, arid I had a fcnawing pain at tho pit bf it. • I temaineo* in this generalconditionuntil August of the same year when I was taken worse. My legs began to swell - and rheumatism set in all over me , more pari ticularty in the hips and back. No local i treatment had any offect upon it. It grew ; worse and wotse unlif'l was no longer able ;to rise" from my chair without aesistance. In ' ttuth I had no power over myself and i could not move a yard without help* I suffered so with mere pain that I could not lie in bed and" for over twelve montbs I ; never had my clothes offi I Dutjng this time I was attended day arid night being literally unable to do anything of importance for myself. All the sleep I got ! was taken in naps and snatches while I was '"'bolstered up in my usual place in an easy { cbaif - Under the terrible strain of the para ! and loss of proper rest my nerves broke down jso that any uncommon event in the house !or noise was more than I could bear. Mv ! bent was very bad and thuniped until I ! c)ulcl scarcely stay in the cbair'and endure ! it, - . ; j Tho doctor who 'had charge of my case .! said my condition was citical. Se said that j my lungs and liver were effected • and that j°l had Bfigh''s disease of the kidneys. Still ; his' medicines did' me no good and after i attending me ten nlohths ho said he could do ne mote for me. ■ ' ■ I then got a doctor from Bolton to see mo. and he held otit but slender hopes of my ever. get'inE bet'ei-i - I thought the same mi so did all who saw n\e. •Iα - October 1893, .my daughter Mrs Dickinson, of BoUbn, told me how- she h a been benefited by taking Mother SeigePs Cura'ive Syrup and thought it might possibly help me. I had small faith but theie ■could v -b". no harm in trying. So we s?nt a once to Mr Pare, the chemist in Fo'd Road, Bolt n n r for enough to decide -whether it would do me pood or not* After.taking it a . short lime I was better. I could sleep '■.•/belter, and had some tkppetite for food; and what I ate ag- eed with me. This was hopeful and cheeting'indeed. .. . ". t . I kept on with the Symp 'and it acted ' wonderfully with me. The woist symptoms abated, rind I gained strength. " Soon all the wat?r in my legs passed off, and the rbeuma-v t'sm troubled me but little. Still .using-the Syrup, my cinditipn*continued to improve iv every rs e pect, until I once more stood on lriy i feet, and felt like a man of this world. I can now walk for miles and have no pain. lAH my frhnds think as I do—that under the , -circumstances my recovery was nothing short of marvellous.

His ''disease wa? originally at il radically-of the I digestion. The attack.»as sh*rp and pro- « fuun-i, and developed into the resulting - conditions he so well desciibes. •He may not have had Biiglit's diseaeej but that he was . directly progressing towards that fatal malady i there is no doub'. The effect of Mother i Seigel's Syrnp in-his cisc ooly serves to show - , afresh its rare • and remarkable power. : Starcely is so groat a victory to be looked > for torn any-medicine.
