A Woman From Austria.
Near the village of Zillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, au intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief as related hy 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 eveiy limb. This was followed by ti cough and shortness of breath, until finally 1 could not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought far the last time. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, iml that I could not live longer than u htn the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Ssigel pamphlets. I read it and my dear mother nought 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 Oth, when I began to take, the Syrup, Very soou I could do a little light work. The cough left me and I was no more troubled iu breathing. Now i must tell you that the doctors in our district distribuetd handbills cautioning p ople 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 he found it is kekt as a relic. The few preserved aro borrowed to read, and I have ent mine for six miles around our district. People nave 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 (.old them there was no help for her, that alio had consulted soverai doctors, hut 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 6he is iu perfect health and the people around us are amazed. The medicine has nude suoh progress iu our neiKhbourhood that people say they dont want the doctor any more, hut they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who we e confined to their bed and eoull 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. ip bed fivo years with costivepeas and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her There was net a doctor iu the surround' ing distriota to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her chi d, but every one crossei themselves and said they could not. elp her. Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in out place when somebody is dead, we Uiought surely it was for her, bpt S'oigel'g Syrup and Pills saved her fife, and uow she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even iu the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knew ng how many years she bad been iu bed. To-day she. adds her gratitude to mine for God’s mercies and ScigeU’s Syrup.
