THE PRINCE OF WALES SPEAKS ON HEALTH.

In his able and timely remarks at the opening of tho International Congress of Hygiene, at St. James's Hall, London ( August 10th, 1891, tho President, the Prince of Wales, said :—" The. highest possible prosperity is when rich and poor alike can do such useful work as they are fitjor, and to this end it is essential that they should enjoy the best possible health and vigour." Very true, but how can the public health be bes"fe promoted ? Clearly by such preventive measures as the Congress meets to consider, and by reliable remedies so long as certain diseases continue to prevail.

We submit an example of the latter necessity in the form of a statement which cannot fail to convince the minds of all who may read it.

[cory.] I, Margaret Morland, of Throstle Nest Farm, Haya Bark, noar Knarosboro', Yorkshire, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows:—

I have suffered all my life from a weak stomach, indigestion and liver complaint. I was never properly well, but always ailing and never seemed to gain strength. I had a bad taste in the mouth and a strango sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach. I had always pain after eating, no matter how simple the food was. My appetite was poor, and what little I ate did not seem to give me strength. I had great pain at my chest and sides, and felt as if I was held or bound round my waist. I was much troubled with sickness, and very often found no ease until I vomited all the food I had taken. I felt low, weak, and depressed, as if something was hanging over mo. I could not sleep at night, and got so bad that I even dreaded going to bed, for I would lie awake for hours together, and on rising in the morning I felt worse tired than when I went to bed. Atyears went on I became a bad colour, my akin and particularly the whites of my eyeß were tinged of a yellowish colour, and at times I was as yellow as a sovereign. In August, 1880, my stomach became very irritable, and everything that I took turned sour on my stomach and I was constantly vomiting a foul bitter fluid or gas. I took little or no nourishment, and after each morsel of even liquid food I strained and vomited as if my poor inside would come out. The pain at my heart now became so severe that I became alarmed and sent for our doctor, who attended me for ten or twelve weeks, but all tho medicine he gavo mo did no good. The doctor seemed puzzled with my complaint and changed the medicine over and over again, but still I got worse instead of better. At last I lost all faith in physic and cave up taking it. Now better, now worse, I continued until July. ISBB, when my kidneys became affected. I had dreadful pain in my back and could not void my water. My skin was dry and hot, my lips parched and feverish. After a time tho water lodged so bad that I thought I should have died. I grew weaker and weaker every day, and felt .that if a change did not soon take place nay condition would be critical, for the pain Was more than I could bear. I could not evren bide to lie in bed, and had to get out of yjed and walk about the room. I took nil kinds of medicines, but nothing gave mo more than temporary relief, and I dragged on in thi3 miserable state until December, 1888, when Mr Day, the chemfat, at Kmjroaboro', sent mo a book tolling'of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I road of a caße similar to mino .having been cured by this medicine. I determined to try it, and sent to Mr Day and procyred a largo bottle of the Syrup, and comi'nenced tuking it. I soon began to find re'.'iof, my food diposted better ana gave mo strength, all pain 3in my back and sides 'left mo. I could now sleep better ands gradually gained strength every day,' and by the timo I had taken a 4s tad bottle I was better than over I was lin uiy life, and by taking an dose I have since kept in good health. \l may montion that I paid over six to one doctor ond did not receive any benefit whatever. I feel very grateful for trie great benefit I havo received from j Seigel's Syrup, and I wish others to Know of it. I have recommended tho medicine to many people in this district with great benefit. My daughter, Mrs V\Vare, living at York, was cured of severe dyVspepsia after every other means had failed!. If by publishing this statement others may be benefited 1 shall be vory glad, and |l hereby give permission to the ot Seigel's Syrup to { make any use they may think fit of this testimonial, and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true. ' By virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1835. (William IV.i c. 62.) Declared before me 'at | Leeds, in the County I of York, by the said I Margaret Morland, on \ (Signed) Monday, the 10th ojf j Margaret Morland. August. 1891. j (tod.) Alf. Cooke, \ | Mayor of Leeds. \l Mr William Morlandj'. the husband of this lady, is a farmer, weltt knovfrn and highly respected. He has lived on his preset farm at Throstle JNest, Haya Parte, seventeen years, and lin the district all his life. He was present at Leeds when the foregoing declaration by his wife was read, and vouched f for its accuracy and truth. Mrs Morfcand'e malady, indigestion and dyspepsia, is sufficiently common and fatal ( to make it a duty to give thoi widest publicity to any remedy that will cure it. Hence our mention of the above case in connection with the work of the so>ciety of which His Royal Highness is President. j
