A WOMAN FROM AUSTRIA
Near the village ofZillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story oi physical suffering and final re'ief as related by herself, is of interest to English women. “I was employed ” he says, in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headache, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either oed or drink, I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a iittle better from rest and sleep 1 sought to do some work, but was soon t ken with a pain in my side, which in a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by u cough and shortness of breath, until finally I eould not sew, and I took to rr,y bed for the second, and. as I thought, for the last tune. My friends tel : that my time had nearly come, and iS&t 1 could no live longer than '. h ’i. £.3 trees put on their g: ecu 01-. c more. Ausn I happened to get one of the ffeigd pamphlets. I read it and my de v mother nought ni’ a ’oifie ef t-Vpl's ‘Syrup, which I to k • x,icily according to direct'oas, and I had re t .ken the whole of il L. i r 1 jit a great change for the better. My last illness began Juno the 3rd, 1382, and continued ,il, August tin- 9th, s-lieu I begat. *o l the the Syrup. Very so* n I could do a little light work. The cough left me and J
wub i.o more troubled in breailuug. Mow i must tell you that the docto a in our dim i ict distr.buetd handbill J caul iouiDu people against the im Heine, tilling diem it would do them lugoo I '. .1 many were thereby influenced to dtciioy the Seigel’s paphlets ; but now wherever one is to be found it is kekt as a relic. The few preserved are horrowedto read, and I have i nt mini or c t m. e t . • u district. People u-ve come xi„**.-.i:i miles to get me to buy the medicine for ‘hem. knowing Ihzt i! cur 1 me, a- ’ .to be sure to get the right kind, I know a woman who wis leo lig ik. death, and who to d them the,- was ao help fur her, that ate had co.isu'tud several doctors, but none could help her. I told her of Seigel’s Syrup, and wote 'he name down for her 'hat. she m gut makt no mistake. She took my advice id be Syrup, and now she is id perfect he ’ Ith and the people around us an ainast d. The medicine his made sue i progr-ss in our neie-hbourhood that people say they dont want the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers )rom gout who we e confined to their bed and could hard y move a finger, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by goiug through somr water, and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her There was not a doctor in the sui rounding districts to whom her mother h d no' applied to relieve her child, but eve:y one crossed themselves and said they cuuld not help her. Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in our place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, but Seigel’s Syrup and bills saved her life, and uow she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knowing how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her gratitude to mi e for God’s mercies and Seigel's Syrup,” Makia Haas. The people of England speak Confirming the above. AFTER MANY YEARS. “Whittle-le-Woods, neas Chorley, “ December 20th, 18S3, Tear Sir. —Mother Seigel’s medicine sell? exceeding well with us. AU th-it try it speak highly in iis favour. We bad a case of a young lady that had been troubled many years with pains after eating.
