It Recalls the Blizzard.

In March, 1888, the great blizzard in America almost extinguished the city of New York. The like of it was never before seen The suow completely stopped all local traffic. Not a horse or a wheel could move. All the telegraph lines leading into the city were prostrated, aud for two or three days the people of Boston and New York communicated with each other by way of London by means of the Atlantic cables. Thus messages intended for persons three hundred miles distaut w ere sent six thousand miles, crossing the ocean twice. An incident which recalls this experience to the writer's mind happened a short time ago here in England. Suppose we let the gentleman interested tell his own story. He says : " I have suffered mere or less from indigestion and dyspepsia all my life. I had a bad taste in the mouth, pain aft-r easing, a poor appetite, and sour stomach. My tongue was coated, and my mouth constantly with a watery fluid. No matter what I ate, however light, it disagreed with me and gave me pain. I hail fullness of the chest, and pain at my side, with a miserable low, dull feeling. From time to time 1 consulted a doctor who gave me medicines, but they did very little good. The doctor said that the coating of my stomach was disordered, and the mucous membrane was inflimed. In 1877 I received a pamphlet from New York telling of a medicine called Mother SeigtTa Curative Syrup, and ot the extrordinary cures it had effected, so I procured a supply, and after taking the first I felt better, and by the time I had taken four bottles more, I was completely cured, ahd have been in good health as regards the indigestion, ever since. Having studied the practice of herbs for many years, I was in the habit of treating people for erysipelas and other complaints, and was freequently consulted by Feople in the district, after my remarkable cure, was so impressed with the merits of Seigel's Syrup, that I procured a large supply of the medicine, and reccommended it to all who were suffering, and people came from far and near for it. I may mention that on a Sunday my house was besieged by miners from Coal Pit Heath, and others from a distance. On every hand I heard nothing but the loudest praise and of the cures it effected, and the fame of this medicine was rpread throughout the West of England with no other advertising than one party telling another of the benefit they had derived from this wonderful medicine. I wish every one to know of this, and if hy publishing this statement it will help others who may be suffering as I was, it will afford me pleasure." The letter from which the foregoing is an extiact is signed Moses Godwin. Old Sodbury (Sudbury), Glos, and is dated April 9th, 1891. He is a farmer. The reader will notice that while the head-quarters for the sale of Mother Seigel's Syrup is universally known to be in Loudon, by a strange Mr Godwin's first information concerning it came from America, three thousand miles away, which recalls the incident of the American blizzard above narrated, "and also shows that the fame and usefulness of this medicine expends to all civilized countries. Mr Benjamin Edgert«n, grocci and provision dealer, Plat Lane, Whixall, Whitchurch, &ilop, says : While living with Mr Roberts, Fens Wood Farm, I first began to feel a dull heavy weight at my side and noticed a bad taste in the mouth with foul stomach and uncomfortable feeling after eating. I had no appetite,.and when I sat down to the table I could rot touch thefood. I had a good deal of pain and noise'in the head, and could not sleep for it, I hwas not fit for heavy work, and only do light oobs about the farm. After cutting a hedge I would go quite faint, and had to sit down, and felt so much depressed I could have cried. Having been always such a strong man I took it badly to be reduced to such a weak state. I took all kinds of physic and saw a doctor, but his medicine only eased me for a bit, and then I was \voise than before. I went on iu this way for over a year, w hen a servant that came to live at Mr Roberts told me of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Syrup. She had heard a gentleman talking about it in the railwiy carriage, and he praised it so much that I thought I would try it. After I had taken two bottles my food did me good, and I gained strength, and by persevering with the svrup I soon got as strong as ever, ami have never ailed anything since."
