THIS WILL SETTLE THE QUESTION.

■ ■ ■- “ I don’t believe there's a word of (ruth in it.” That’s the way certain foolish people talk when limy hear of anything unusual, or outsidethe limits of their own ■ observation or experience. They are j of the sort who laughed at Stephenson when he introduced the railway and, at ! Mo so when he said we could coimmini- ! cate by means of electricity. Yet they i don’t laugh at those things now. They ] make use of them daily. Some months ago the case of Mrs Maty Cuddy was lirst 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. .Here is her answer ! She repeats what she at first said, and puts a quietus on all who called her words in question. It will be observed that her statement is as plain and solemn as language can make it. [copy.] I, Mary Cuddy, of 28, Catherine Street, Richmond llor.d, Leads, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows ;—• Ever since I was a girl I have suffered fiom illness. 1 always had a pain both before and after eating, and 1 never seemed able to gain and keep my strength, and felt that something was pulling rac down. I had a nasty queerfeeling in my stomach. Sometimes food seemed to ease it and, at other times ic made me feel worse, and often I went without food, for I was afraid to eat. Commonly when food was placed before me 1 could not touch it, ai.d I often fainted at the very sight of it. Atter a while 1 became so weak I could scarcely stand or walk. I thought it was consumption coining on by degrees and I took all sorts of medicines to try and get relief, but it was ef no use, and T got tired of taking physic, for 1 had lost all faith in it My business was so urgent that I was compelled to bo at work, otherwise I would have laid in bed, so weak had 1 become. With, the weakness and lors of appetite there were other feelings and signs that, were bad and alarmed , rne greatly. Among them were these : —A yellowish color of the skin and - eyes, sometimes a cold clammy perspi- ' ration, pains and aches in the sides, the ' chest and back, headache, a kind of wind or gus coming up into wy throat and mouth that was so sour and sickening I could scarcely bear it. Once in a while I would have a strange fluttering and palpitation that made me think my heart must be affected. My heart would thump so that I feared it would \ jump out of its place, and I have had ( to walk about the room for two or 1 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 slept badly at night, and frequently had horrible drean a . mid was so mealancholy and depressed ! lin spirits that I would sit down and 1 cry, for I got no pleasure as time r ! dragged wearily by. I had so lit le j. I energy or strength that it was all I I could do to summon courage for the j i labor upon which the family (at least ,| in part) depended for support. lam | a dressmaker, and it will bo easily I understood how hard my life was, for [ I didn't think it would last much longer. . Not long ago (May, 1887) I made up my mind to t> y a medicine that is ad- ; vertised and known all over the country, i i mean Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, i j I had no faith it it at first, for how I can one believe in what one knows nothing about 1 1 bought and tried Mo*her 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. 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 i my food with a relish and everything | agreed with me.. Now and again when, i through confinement and hard work, I ; feel a touch of my old complaint I take ! a dose or two of Set el’s Syrup and the I trouble goes no further. Since tin ' public itiun of my testimonial many per- ' sons have called at my house and asked me if all that is published about my case is I true, and if the Proprietors of SeigcVs j Syrup had made additions to my statement. I told them all that every word was true and 'nothing had been added by the Proprietors of the medicine, 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 woild. Seigel’s Syrup saved my life, and I desire other sufferers to know of what , did so much for me. I will gladly answer inquiries. And I make this solemn declaration ' conscientiously believing same to bo true by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act (Will. IV, c. 02.) (Signed) *Mauy Cuddy. Declared before me at Leeds,A in the County of York, by | the said Mary Cuddy, on, J Monday, the 10th day of > August, 1891. / | (Signed) Alf. Cooke, S ( Mayor of Leeds. J ■, No* a syllable further is needed except to say (hat her ailment, indigos- • tion 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'no cavilling can J shake, in the remedy which restored to 1 her the health and happiness that Providonce designs for us all -
