INFORMATION FOR WORKING

It is » boast often heard that there are a -water variety -of occupation* open to women "^radaya than ever before. Yet the fact i« S; w ithoat its drawbacke, for women are thus tamptil into scores of positions for which S^are not fitted, with much consequent. »ni*ery Thousands of girls, especially in Amenca,'Mtalldayhammenng at type^ writers Si telegraph instruments, stand on their feet tea dozen hours at a stretch in shops :«ad JrLa and bend over desk* at some sort of Sritimr till their muscles and head ache toSier' In both England and America they Ebour in factories long hours ove« hand and «onotonoas tasks, often in a fearf ally bad «itSosphere, aud for small wages. When they wife down, the expen3e of having physicians, «nDled with other costs of illness, is apt to Lajame their little savings. Therefore any Information which will enable them to lessen inch an outgo must be welcomed by the host rf working women. • * On this point a recent letter received by as -sy throw a ray of light. The writer says : <«When a woman has to depend upon her ftnirers solely for a living it is a terrible thing even though it may be only fora few days or weeks. This was my own situ* •tion when I was first taken bad about ten JJJrtago. ItbegJUiwithwhatlsliaU Wye Lde«a-ibe as a heavy, sinking feeling at the ©it of the stomach, and a sensation of gidJim»B and faintnea whilst at menls. On ririog from the table I would often be attacked with palpitation of the heart, which beat so I didn't know what to do with myself. Some gsys I would not eat a mouthful of solid food, K> moch afraid was I of the pain it gave me. I have gone without food for three consecutive foys and nights, till I thought I most rarely itarve. At the same time , the desire to eat vu so great I could have elutohed eagerly at tta hardest piece of stale bread. Igotsolbad I had to lie in bed for d^ «*a ; grew so wea ic I could tcaroely raise myself on my elbows. I conaultecL doctor after doctor; J think I must have had not less than a dozen ultogther. One called tny illneßA%r6ne name, md the others by ol^er namag^.Ko imo ct them agreed as to" what itreally wa% that ailed pxe. None of them did me any gr>od, thoagh my money went faat ; enough to j>ay them, and to buy the' medicine |hey ordered. •• One day I saw in tHe-* r €hris^an Age »* tn account of Mother Ouratiye Syrup. Yet Low could I believe in it f I had trusted and hoped, and been deceived so often. XJn-bi»--wbioh seldom happens—people gel ft* right medicine at first, it is a wonder to me how they ever get it at aIL What made me [eel that Mother SeigePs remedy might be of. tome use I don't know ; but I think ijt was be. caase it was discovered and made by a good woman who had been oured by. it herself. At. all events I sent for it and began to take it. Up to the time when I write this letter Z nave taken it wren weeks, ai*d the change it has produced has astonished all who know me. fee rain about my lieart is entirely gone, Md 1 gain strength erewaay." Note.— The writer of the above letter re* qaested that her name should not be published . We feel bound to lespect her wishes, although >6 have no doubt she will consent to our living her name and address to any of her own sex who may desire- to write to her, iither direotly or through us. A somewhat similiar case is that of Mrs Annie West, of Manor Road, Bournemouth, Hants, win* writes under a later date : "I desire to inform you of niy wonderful recovery after taking Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I was go low as to be unable to riße from my bed, and thought I should never stand on my feet again. But, by the blessing of Gtid, and the use of the Syrup, lam so far recovered as to be able to return to my work. lam a poor widow and have to- work f or jiqr living, tod have on one or two occasions sold, some of s»y own things to biry Seigel'sSyrnp. 'For years I could not keep any food down , .and mfiered from terrible headache. Now that I am well once more, I shall soon earn back a hundred times over the prioe of the good Swdioine ttat drove away my complaint.' 1
