A Woman From Austria.
Near the village of Zilliugdorf, in Lowe r Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story ot physical suffering and fiual 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 ou 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 1 sought to do some work, but was soon taken 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 a cough and shortness of breath, until finally I 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 Soigel pamphlets. I read it and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel’s Syrup, which I took exactly according to directions, and I had no taken the whole of it before I felt a great change for the better. My last illness began June the 3rd, 1832, 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 1 must tell you that the doctors in our district distribuetd handb’lls cautioning people against the medicir e, and telling them it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel’s paphlets ; but row wr.eiever one is to be found it is kekt as a relie. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have eob mine for six miles around our district. People neve cotro e'gliteen miles to get me to buy tbe medicine for them, knowing that it cared me, and to be sure to get the right kind, I know a woman who wa3 leokiog iike death, and who told then there was | no help fo.'her, thst she had consulted several doctors, but none could help her. I told be: o. Seigel’s Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that ste might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Syrup, and now she is iD health and tbe people around us are amazed. The medielre has made such progress in our neißhbouruood that people say they done want the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who we e confined to their bed and could hardly move a fioger, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through eome water, and wes 'n bed five years with costivencss and rt eumatic pains, and had to have an attendant o watch 'ey her There was rot a doctor in .ho surrounding district's .o whom her mother bad no*, applied !o relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could not help he.. Wherever the little bell rang wnich is rung in our o-ace when somebody is dead we thought surely it was for er, but hejgel’s Syrup and L’ills saved ter life, and now she is as healthy as anyoody, goes to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished whoa they saw her out, knowng how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for God’s mercies and Seigell's Sy• up. Maria Haas,
