THREE FORTUNATE WOMEN.
We will introduco you to tho oldest one first. Her name ia Mrs Jessie Ku?selt, and she lires neir the city of New York, iv America She was born in London in 1787, and is therefore 105 years old. She remembers many incidents of h9r childhood, and still has traces of former beauty. Her
eyes are bright, and become animated when she talks. She retains her rnnntal faculties completely. She descends two flights of stairs to every meal, and returns without assistance. Op to three years ago she was a regular attendant at the Greenwood Baptist Church. Her sight is excellent, and she reads the newc papers every day and takes great interest in tbe news from England. Bhe has never had any severe illness
in her life, and her appetite and digestion are. almost as good as they were fifty years ago. -
The second woman says: "Ever since I was a child I have suffered from illneps. Thirteen years ago a tired, languid, and heavy feeling came over me 'Ihe whites of my eyes became tinged with yellow, my skin was sallow, and my handa and feet were cold and clammy. My mouth tasted badly, especially in ihe morning, and I was often eick, vomiting a sour, frothy fluid. I had a pain in tho chest and sides, heartburn, and flatulency. For four years I Buffered like this, and I .-hall bo glad to recommend the medicine that finally cured me." (Signed) (Mrs) Fsancis haiiLV Sjirrn, 49a, Woodhouse Btreet, Leeds, January 25th, 1892.
The third woman says: "1 have been delicate all my life. For the past six years I have always felt tired, languid, and weak. X _ad a poor appetite, a bad ta&te in the mouth, and pain after every morsel late. I was dizzy, and often feit as if 1 was going to fall I always felt anrs would retch and strain, but co>. Id bring nothing up. There wis a dull pan at the right side and a dreadful pain betvef-n tbe shoulders. I never know what it vus to by well. After beinrr on my feet .' 5r a tuno my legs would swell very much ?o doctor was ablo to help me, nor any ntdicine ; that, is, up to tha time I took tho •_ ie which gave me my health back 1 net- r felt so well in my life as Ido now " (Signed) (Mrs) Sarah Shaeman, Glinton, net-r Market Deeping, February 19th, 1892. Why do we put these three wocon in a group —the one venerable #oman k Amadou and the two others hero in England ? They are ptrfect strangers to one am ch--r and always will be. Wo do it to nhow bow long Slid happily a woman may live if she only
happens to escape the malady that every where threatens her sex ; and also to shov that those who have been burdened anc Dursed with it may bo cured and once mon taste tbe joys of health, Mrs Smith concludes her letter in theai words:—"After taking three bottles oi Mother Beigel'3 Curative eyrup all pain anc sickness left me, and I knew n'j more of the lilmeut that had troubled me so long, indigestion atid dyspepsia. I know others wbc have been benefited by the Syrup. All sufferers should use it." Mrs Sharman adds that after she had doctored and doctored and taken everything, almost without getting any good from it. fiir Webster, a grocer of Glinton, Baid, "Why don't you use Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup ?" Sho acted on his suggestion, and health wasn't long in coming. " I cannot speak too highly of Seigel's «yrup,_" eho says. We should agree with her in that opinion, for a remedy that will in a few weeks put an e:-d to a case of chronic indigestion and dyspep.-ia is certainly worth fl good word or two Now here you have these three Englishwomen—one so fortunate as to have lived more than c. century without au illness; the others (still -more fortunate) have known the sadness of suffering and tho pleasure of recovery. ...,i Oh, my ! oh, my! how hard it is to tell who is the best orf in this queer world.
