A Woman From Austria.

Near the village ofZillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whoso 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 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 look 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 happene.. to get one of the Seige: 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 tho 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 Boon I eould 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, and telling then) it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Stigel’s puphlets j 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 nave eomo 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 cousuited 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 iD 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. 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 in the surrounding districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could not help her, Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in our 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 church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, know ng how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for God’s mercies and Seigell's Syrup.
