“THEY DROPPED OFF, POISONED BY MY BLOOD.” THEBE ia more or leas of an Impression upon the minds of some people that statements as to the merits and effects of popular medicines should ba received with a degree of allowance. That is to say, people are apt to think the proprietors of thise articles often enlarge upon and exaggerate the real facts in order to create a demand for what they have to sell. We are inclined to believe this is seldom the case, as the intelligent persons who own these medicines are aware that any sort of overstatement tends to injure their sales rather than to increase them. The public are sure to form a correct judgment as to the value of an advertised article, and any false claims for it are certain to be recognised and denounced. Honesty is the best policy in this as in all other cases. Therefore the reader need not hesitate to accept as true any announcements of which the following is an example: [copy.] “I, Thirzi Daniels, of Wrafton, near Barnstaple, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows '* I was always a strong, healthy woman up to the early part of 1879, when I began to be troubled with my liver and stomach. In July of that year I took a chili from sitting on some wet grass, and this brought on sciatica and rheumatism. I had dreadful pain In my hips and legs. It was like knives cutting through me. My appetite left me, and what little I did eat gave me great pain in the stomach and chest. I had a bad taste in the month and pains in the rides and between the shoulders. Finally I got so weak I had to bring home my eldest daughter from service to look after the house and my four children. For several months I went on in this way. At first I doctored myself, rubbing my joints with a rubbing bottle and poulticing. Then I sent for the doctor, and he said my blood was poisoned. He blistered me and gave me medicine. I was under hia care for five months, but I got weaker all the time, and went thin as a skeleton. The pain whilst in bed was very severe, I could scarcely bear it; and I turned and turned, hut could not find an easy place. Sometimes I was lifted to the floor, and lay there to see if any ease could be got. I became so bad I sent for a doctor from Brauntou, but, as I got no better, my husband got a recommendation from the late Colonel Harding, of Upcott, and I attended at the dispensary at Barnstaple four months, and then went as an indoor patient in the Barnstaple infirmary, and was treated by two doctors. They agreed it was blood poisoning, and talked of performing an operation on my thigh, but concluded not to do it, saying I was too weak. They blistered me again, and no relief from this, they applied leeches, but as fast as the leeches were put on they dropped off, poisoned by my blood. I was so low-spirited in the hospital that 1 felt if I did not get home I should die soon, so they made arrangements to take me away. When I got in the open air my senses left me, and they thought I was dying. After reaching home I was in great agony, and sent my husband for our doctor. He said he would come, but it was of uo use, as he could do no more than he had done. I lay for weeks, and was so bad that when people spoke to me I had not the strength to reply. At this time my nephew, Robert Daniels, of Pontypridd, sent us word to try Mother Selgel’s Curative Syrup, as it had worked wonderful cures in the district where he lived. So my husband went to Mr Farley’s, the grocer, High street, Bare staple, and bought a bottle. Before I bad taken all of that bottle I could eat, and my food seemed to do me good. By degrees I got stronger and stronger, and after taking fourteen bottles I was strong and healthy. My flesh came on, and all pain left my thigh and legs, and I have never ailed anything to speak of since. I thank God for makingSeigel’s Syrup known to me. I owe my life to it, and I wish others to know what I say, I consider it the Lord’s doing, and I will be glad to answer any inquiries. “ And I make this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to bo true, by virtue of provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1835 (5 and 6 William IY., c. 62). “(Signed) Thibza Daniils.
