A Woman From Austria.
Near the village ofZillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, ;an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief 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 ood or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and sleep I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in my Bide, which in a little while Beemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until finally 1 eould not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought for the last time. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Seigei pamphlets. I read it and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel’e Syrup, which I took exactly according to directions, and I had no taken the whole of it before J felt a great change for the better. My last illness began June the 3rd, 1882, and continued till August the 9th, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me and I was no more troubled in breathing, Now i must tell you that the doctors in our district distribuetd handbills cautioning people against the medicine, aud telling them it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel’s paphlets; but now wherever one is to be found it is kekt as a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have ent mine for six miles around m r district. Ppople have como eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it cured me, aud to be sure to get the right kind, I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them there was no hejp f°r her, that she had consulted several doctors, but none could help her. I told her of Seigel’s Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Syrup, and now she ja ju perfect health aud the people around us are amazed. The meeficine has made such progress in our neighbourhood that people say they dont want the doctor any more, hut they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who we-e confined to their bed aad could hardly move a fioger, have been cured. To-day she adds her gratitude to mine I for God’s mercies and Seigell's Syrup. Mabu Haas,
