STRONG ENGLISH WORDS.

Whin a person says '■ I suffered exoruciat* ing pain ' he expresses a fact in the etrongrat .. __^. l - -#r„---_f . i-. .h- ■t.-Y' liiaiTrir"rt The word excruciating mdn from crux, a cross,, and signifies an intensity ■of agony comparable only to that uudmed by one who undergoes the barbarous punishment of cruci* fixion. There aro some diseases which/ for a time, cause pain of this acute and formidable nature. To find a relief far it, when possible, is at once the impulse of humanity and the studious desire of science. Two brief examples may indicate what success is attending the effort to both comfort and cure cases oi this kind. Neariy all my life, writes an intelligent woman, * I have borne tbe burden of what appeared to be incurable illness. I always felt heavy, weary and tired. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had a cruel pain at my chest and between tbe shoulders! Frequently the pain was so intense that I was impelled to loose my clothing and walk about the room. My nerves were disordered and impressible, and I was, consequently; easily disquieted and upset. My sleep waa habitually bad, and I seemed none the better for spending a night in bed* Eating bat little my strength waned of necessity; and I came to be very weaki For g long I got about feebly and with difficulty.' In August, 1887, I had an attack of rheumatic gout, which gave me the most harrowing experience of ray life-. The complaint took its usual coarse and refused to yield to the ordinary, treatment. Through the partial failure of the liver and kidneys dropsy set ia and my legs and feet became puffed and swollen- I suffered excruciating pain and was confined te my bed for thirteen weeks* Remedies of every description were tried but to little purpose. My brother, visiting me one day, said, he bad been cured of an attack of dropsy by a medicine called Mother Seigel's Syrnpj I got a bottle fr-m Mr Hewett, the In Seven Sisters' Road, and after taking it felt a trifle easier. I continued taking it aod soon the pain and swelling abated. I could, eat without pain or inconvenience, and by a few weeks further use oi the Syrup I was net only free from any local ailment, but felt better than ever I did io my life before. Since then I have enjoyed continuous health, taking a dose of Mother Seigel's Syrup - occasionally for some transient inoiapositien. You are at liberty to publish my letter.

Subsequently I was very weak, and could get no strength. What little food I forced down (having no appetite) gave me excruciating pain, so that I was afraid to eat. ' I' came tobe exceedingly weak and had frequent attacks of dizziness. I was worn almost to a skeleton and none thought 1 would recover.

*In June 1892, Mr Smith, a friend of cow, recommended me .to try . Mother Seigel's Syrup which I at once procured of Mr George ■•.■ Coombs, theohemist in HueknalL After taking it for only ant week I felt greatly benefited. I eottld eatbetter and food agreed - with roe. Continuing with the Syrup I crew stronger ' and stronger, and soon felt even better than before I was attacked by the inftaenz*. .
