A Woman From Austria.

Near the village ofZilliugdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, .an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical sufTering and final relief f.s related by herself, is of interest to English women. “I was employed.” he says, in the work of a large farmhouse, Overwork brought on s'ck headache, followed by a d-'-mtbly 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 x limb. Thi3 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, ancl that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Seigd pamphlets. I read it and my clear 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, 1882, and continued till August the 9th, wbeu I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me and I was do more troubled in breathing. Now 1 must tell you that the doctors in our district digtribuetd handbills cairtioning people against the mediciue, and 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 aro borrowed to read, and I nave ent mine for six miles around our district. People have como eighteen miles to get me tQ buy tho medicine for them, knowing that it cured me, and to be sure to get 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 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 A in perfect] health aid 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. Sufferers from gout who we e confined to their bed and could hardly move a finger, have boen cured by it. There is a girl in our district who . caught a cold by going through some . water, and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and hud to have an attendant to watch by her 1 There whs not a doctor in the surroundt ing districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, bat every oue (. crossed themselves ntid said they could i not help her. Whti ever the little bell 1 rang wiiicli is rung in out place when j somebody is dead, we thought surely it 3 was far her, but beigel’a Syrup and Dills t saved her life, and now she is as healthy j. as anybody, goes to chureb, and can 1 work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knnwI ng how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her grati uclo to mine . j for God’s mercies and SeigelTs Syrup. a Maria Haas,
