THE PRINCE OF WALES SPEAKS ON HEALTH.

I>- his able and timely remarks at the open, ing of the International Congress oE Hygiene, at St. James's Hall, London, August 10th, 1891, the President, the Prince of Wale?, said :—" The highest possible prosperity is when rich and 'poor alike can do such useful work as they arc fit/or, 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 best 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

[COPY.] I, Margaret Morlaud, of Throstle Nest Farm, Haya Park, near Knaresboro', Yorkshire, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows :—

I have suffered all ray from a weak stomach, indigestion and liver complaint. I was never properly well, hut always ailing and never seemed to gain strength. I had a bad taste in the mouth and a strange sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach. I had always pain after eatiner, 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 wa3 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 me. 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. As years went on I became a bad colour, my skin and particularly the whites of my eyes were tinged of ayellowish 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 ga3. 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 the medicine he gave mo did no good. Tho 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 lo3t all faith in physic and gave 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 the water lodged co 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 my condition would be critical, for the pain was more than I could bear. I could not even bide to lie in bed, and had to get out of bed and walk about the room. I took all kinds of medicines, but nothing gave me more than temporary relief, and I dragged on in this miserable state until December, 1888, when Mr Day, the chemist, at Knaresboro', sent me a book tolling of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I read of a case similar to mine having been cured by this medicine. I determined to try it, and sent to Mr Day and procured a large bottle of the Syrup, and commenced taking it. I soon began to find relief, my food digested better and gave me strength, all pains in my back and sides left me. I could now sleep better and gradually gained strength every day, and by the time I had taken a 4s 6d bottle I was better than ever I was in my life, and by taking an occasional dose I have since kept in good health. 1 may mention that I paid over six pounds to one doctor and did not receive any benefit whatever. I feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received from Seigel's Syrup, and I wish others to know of it. I have recommended the medicine to many people in this district with great benefit. My daughter, Mrs Ware, living at York, was cured of severe dyspepsia after every other means had failed. If by publishing this statement others may be benefited 1 shall be very glad, and I hereby give permission to the proprietors 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 tho Statutory Declaration Act, 1835. (William IV. c. 62.)

Declared before mo at I Leeds, in the County! of York, by the said J Margaret Morland, on I (Signed) Monday, the 10th of [Margaret Morland August. 1891. I {hd.) Alf. Cooke, f Mayor of Leeds. I

Mr William Morland, the husband of this lady, is a farmer, well known and highly respected. He has lived on his present farm at Throstle Nest, Hay a Park, seventeen years, and in bhe district all his life. He present at-Leeds when the foregoing declaration by his wife was read, and vouched for its accuracy and truth. Mrs Morland's malady, indigestion and dyspepsia, is sufficiently common and fatal to make it a duty to give tho widest publicity to any remedy that will cure it. Hence our mention of the above case in connection with tho work of the society of which His Highness is President.
