THREE FORTUNATE WOMEN.

+ We will introduce yon to the oldest one first. Her name is Mrs Jeeaie Russell, and she lives near the oity of New York, m Amerioa. She was born m London m 1787, and is therefore 105 years old. She remembers many incidents of her ohildhood, and still has traces of former beauty. Her eyes are bright, and become animated when she talks. She retains her mental faculties completely. She detoends two flights of stairs to every meal, and returns without assistance. Up te three years ago she was a regular attendant at the Greenwood Baptist Churoh. Her sight is exoellent, and she reads the nswspapers every day, and takes great interest ia the news from Kngland. She has never had any severe illness m her life, and her appetite and digestion arc almost as good as they were fifty years ago. The second woman sayi : " Ever since I was a child I have Buffered from illness, Thirteen years ago a tired, languid, and heavy feeling came over me. The whites of my eyes became tinged with yellow, my skin was sallow, and my hands and feet were cold and clammy. My mouth tasted badly, especially m the morning, and I was oftsn sick, vomiting a sour, frothy fluid. I had a pain m the chest and sides, heartburn, and flatulenoy. For four years I suffered like tbis, and I shall be glad to recommend the medicine that finally oured me." (Signed) (Mrs) Frances Emily Smith, 49* Woodhouae Street, Leeds, January 25tb, 1802. The third woman says : " I have been delicate all my life. For th 9 past six years I have always felt tired, languid, and weak. I had a poor appetite, a bad taste m the mouth, and pain after every morsel I ate. I was dizzy, and often felt as though I was going to fall. I always felt Eiok, and would retch and strain, but could bring nothing up. There waa a dHll pain at the right side, and ft dreadful pain between the shoulders. I n6v?r knew what it was to be well. After being on nay feet for a tine my feet would swell very muoh. No dootor was able to help me, nor any mediaine ; that iE, up to the time I took the one which gave me my health back. I never felt so well m my life as Ido now." (Signed) (Mrs) Sarah Shaman, Glinton, near Market Deeping, February 10th, 1802. Why do we put these three women m a group— the ona venerable woman m America and the two others here m England? They are perfect strangerß to one another, and always will be. We do it to ihow how long and happily a woman may live if she only happens to esoape the malady that everywhere threatens her sex ; and also to show that those who have been burdened and cursed with it may bs cured, and onoe more taste the joys of health. Mrs Smith concludes her letter m these words : " After taking three bottles cf Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup all pain and siokness left me, and I knew no more of the ailment that had troubled me bo long, indigestion and dyspepsia I know others who have been benefited by the Syrup- All sufferers should use it." Mrs Sbarman adds that after she had doctored and dootored and taken everything, almost without getting any good from it. Mr Webster, a grocer of Glinton, said, •• Why don't you use Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup?" She aoted on his suggestion, and health wasn't long m coming. •• I cannot speak too highly of Seigel'a Syrup," sha says. We should agree with her m that opinion, for p. remedy that will m a few weeks put an end to a case of chronic indigestion and dyspepsia is certainly worth a good werd or two. Now here you have these three English* womsa— oho so fortunate aa to faava lived

more ihan a century without an ilinens ; tho oihois still more jortunate) havo known the sadness of srilering and the pleasure of rtsovery. Ob, my ! oh, my 1 bow haid it ia to tell who ia best of! m this queer world.
