INFORMATION FOR WORKING WOMEN.

It is a boast often heard that there are a greater variety of occupations open to women nowadays than ever before. Yet the fact is not'without its drawbacks, for women are thus tempted into scores of positions for which they are not fitted. with much consequent misery. Thousands of girls, especially in America, sit all day Summering at typo-writers and telegraph instruments, stand on their feet for v dozen hours at a stretch in shops and stores, and bend over desks at some sort of writing, till their muscles and bead ache together. In both England and Anierio- they labor in faotories long hours over hard and monotonous tas'-s, often in a fearfully bad atmosphere, and for small wages. When thoy break down, the expense of haviug physicians, coupled with other costs of illness, is apt to consume their little savings. Therefore any information which will enable them to lessen such an outgo must be welcomed by the host of working women tin this point a recent letter received by us may throw a ray of light. The writer says : " When a woman has to depend upon her fingers solely for a living it is a terrible thing to fall ill, even though it may bo only for a few days or weeks This was my own situation when I was fir.t taken bad about

ten years ago. It bonau with what I shall have to desoribe as a heavy sinking feoling at the pit of the stomach, and a sensation of giddiness and faintneia whilst at meals. On rising from the table I would often be attacked wi h palpitation of the heart, whioh boat so I didn't know what to do with myself. Some days 1 would not eat a mouthful of solid food, so muoh afraid was I of tho pain it gave me. I have gone without food for three consecutive days and nights, till I thought I must surely Btarve. At the same time the desire to eat was 80 great I could have clutched eagerly »t.t"o hardest piece of stale broad. I got so bad I had to lie in bed for days, and grew bo weak I could sc.rcely raise myself on my elbows. I consulted doctor after doctor; I think I must havo had not less than a dozen altogether. One called my illness by one name, and the others by other names. No two of them agreed as to what it really was that ailed me. None of them did mo any good, though my money went fast enough to pay them, and to buy the medicine they ordered. «' One day I saw in the Christian Age an account of Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup. Yet how could I believo in it ? I had trusted and hoped, and been deceived bo often. Unless—whioh seldom happens— people get the right medicine at first, it is a wonder to me how they ever get it at all. What, made me feel that Mother Seigel 8 remedy might be of some use I don't know ; but j. think it was because it was discovered and made by a good woman who had been cured by it herself. At all events I sent for it and began to take it. Up to the time when I write this letter I have taken it seven weeks, and tho change it has produoed has aßtonished all who know meThe pain about my heart ia entirely gone, and I gain Btreiigtb every day." Note.—Tho writer of the above letter requested that her name should not be published. We feol bound to respect ber wishes, although we have no doubt she will consent to our giving her name and address to any of her own sex who may desire to write to her, either directly or through us. A somewhat similar case is that of Mrs Annie West, of Manor road, Bournemouth, Hints, who writes uudor a late date: " I desire to inform you of my wonderful recovery after taking Mother Seigid'a Curative Syrup. I was so low as to be unable to rise from my bed, and thought I should never staid on my feet again. But by the blessing of God, und the uso of the Syrup, I am so far recovered as to be able to return to my work. lam a poor widow and have to work for my living, and have on ono or two occasions sold some of my things to buy Soigol's Hyrup. For years I could not keep any food down and suffered from terrible headache. Now that lem well once more, I shall soon earn back a hundred tithes over the price of tho good medicine that drove away my complaint."
