THIS WILL SETTLE THE QUESTION.

“/ demit believe there's a word of truth in it.”

That’s the way certain foolish people talk when they hear of anything unusual, or outside the limits of their own observation or experience. They are of the sort who laughed at Stephenson when he introduced the railway and, at Morso when ho said we could communicate by means of elect ricity. \et they don’t laugh at those- things now. They make use of them daily.

Some months ago the case of Mrs Mary Cuddy was first published. The great public accepted the facts as they had every reason to do. Others, a very few (professional men, perhaps) pretended to doubt and sent emissaries to inquire of the lady herself whether her allegations had not been added to, or altered, for the sake of popular, effect.

Hero is her answer ! She repeats what she at first said, and puts a qT.ictus on all who called tier words in question. It will be observed that her* statement is as plain and folemn as language can make it. [copy.] I, Mary Cuddy, of 28, Catherine Street, Richmond Road, Leeds, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows :

Ever since I was a git I I have suffered from illness. I always had a pain both before and after eating, and never seemed able to gain and keep my strength, and felt that something was

pulling inn down, I hurl a nasty queer feeling in my stoinacli. Sometimes food seemed to ease- it and, at other times ic nnde me feel worse, and often I went without food, for F was afraid to eat. Commonly when food vvas placed before me I could not touch it, and I often fainted at the very sight of it. After a while I became so weak I could scarcely stand or walk. I thought it was consumption coming on by degrees and I took all sorts of medicines to. try and get relief, but it was )ef no use, and I got tired of taking j physic, for 1 had lost all faith in it, j My business was so urgent that I w: s- ; compelled to be at work, otherwise I j would: have laid in bed, so- weak had I ■ become.. With the weakness and loss of appetite there were ‘other feelings ! and signs that were had and alarmed ime greatly. Among them were these : j—A yellowish colbr of the skin and j eyes, sometimes a cold clammy perspiration, pains and aches in the sides, the I chest and back, headache, a kind of i wind or gas. coming up inio ivy throat j 1 and mouth that was so sour and sickcn- , ing I could scare, ly hear it. Once in a while I would have a strange fluttering 1 and palpitation that made me think my heart must be affected.. My heart ] would thump so that I feared it would pump out ol its place, and I have had to walk about the room for two or three hours at a time, for I could not sit or lie. The pain was so severe that I have'asked my husband if he could not hear my heart thumping as I walked about. I always sUpt badly at night, land frequently had: horrible dreams and was so mealanclmly and depressed' in spirits that I would sit down and cry, for I got no pleasure as time dragged wearily by. I had so lit In energy or strength that it was all f could do to summon courage for the labor upon which the family (at least iin part) depended for support. Inm * dressmaker, and it will be easily understood how hard my life was, for I didn’t think it would last much longer. _ Not king ag<D> (May, 1887) I made up my mind to tty a medicine that is advertised and known all over the country, i mean Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup. I had no faith it it at first, for how can one believe in what one knows nothing about 1’ 1 bought and tried Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup only because of its reputation. How could , so many people, I asked myself, praise ' a medicine so much if it had no virtue, j I can only say that I found what they | said to be true. After beginning with the Syrup, relief soon followed. My food digested better and gave, me strength, and by persevering with it all my pains disappeared. I could eat my food with a lelish and everything agreed with me. Now and again when, through confinement and hard work, I feel a touch of my old complaint I take a dose or two of Seigel’s Syrup and the trouble goes no. further. Since the publication of my testimonial many persons have cal'ed at vv. house and ashed me if all that is published' about my case is (T. e, and if the Proprietors of SeiyeVs Syrup had made additions to my statement.

I told them all that every ward was true and nothing had Been added by the Proprietors of the medic in',, but I could add a good deal more, for no words can describe what my sufferings were during all those long years. I never expected being well again in this world. Seigel’s Syrup saved my life, and 1 desire other sufferers to know of what did so much for me. 1 will gladly answer inquiries.. And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing same to be true by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act (Will,. IV, c. S2-> (Signed) Mary Cuddy. Declared before me at Leeds,\ in the County of York, by j the said Mary Cuddy, on, I Monday, the iOth day of V August, 1891. I (Signed) Alf. Cooke, I Mayor of Leeds.}

Not a syllable further is. needed except to say that her ailment, indigestion and dyspepsia, burdens and saddens the lives of many other women (and men also), who will read with new hope the outcome of Mrs Cuddy’s case, and place a confidence which.oo cavilling can shake, in the remedy which restored to her the healthfand happiness that Providence designs for us all
