A Woman From Austria.
Near the village of Zilliugdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, ,an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and liual relief as related by herself, is of interest to English women. ‘‘l was employed ” he says, in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headache, followed by a deathly faintirig 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.& cough and shortness of breath, until finally I eould not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, ns I thought fjr the last time, My friends told me tnat my time had nearly cGme, 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 Beige- pamphlets. I read it and my dear mother bought in a 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 i must tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine, 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 relie. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have enfc mine for six miles around our district. People have como eighteen miles to get me to buy the 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 is in perfect] health and the people around us are amazed. The medicine has made such progress in our neighbourhood thub 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 been 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 had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor iu the surrounding districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one orosßed themselves and said they could not help her. Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in out place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, but Seigel’s Syrup and Pills saved her life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to oburch, and can work oven in the fields. Everybody was astonished when 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 Syrup. Maria Haas,
