A Woman From Austria.

Near the villaue of Z.lliugdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical Buffering and final relief as related by herself, is of ii terest to English women. “I was employed,” ho says, in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on siot 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. Gotting 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 Saiga! pamphlets. I read it and my dear mother bought ma 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, 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 1 must tell you that the doctors in our district distribuetd handbills cautioning people against the medicine, and telling them it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Stigel’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 our district. People mve como eighteen miles to get me to buv the medicine for them, knowing that it cured me, and to baßure to got the right kind, I know a woman who was leoking like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that she had consulted several doctors, but none could help her. I told her oi 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 is in perfect] health and the people around us are amazed. The medicine has made such progress in our neighbourhood that people say they dont want the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Suffc-rers from gout who we e confined to their bed and eould hardly move a finger, have been cured by it. There i 3 a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five yeai'3 with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her There was not a doctor in the surround' ing districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every oue crossed themselves Burl said they could not help her. Wherever the little bell rung which is rung in our place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, but Seigel’s Syrup and Pills j saved her life, and now she is as healthy 1 as anybody, goes to church, and can i work oven in the fields. Everybody wa3 1 astonished when they saw her out, know- I ng how many years she had been in bc-d. 1 To-day she adds her gratitude to mine ( for God’s mercies and Seigeil’s Syrup. t Maria Haas, *
