LITTLB OF THS GtJSj NOTHING OF TES DOG. When Rip Van Winkle awoke from hiß nap in the Oatskill Mountains in America;, he found himself an old man, His dog was dead, long ago,, and nothing was left of hiß gun bat the look and barrel. And "when he went baok to the village of Falling Water, where he used to live, nobody reoognised him. His wife, believing him dead, bad married the innkeeper. Right enough too, for Rip had lain on tbe mountain-side, sound asleep, for tioenty years. A long snooze ; but it seems to me I'd rather be asleep half my life at a stretch than to stop awake and be miserable. Yet here is a woman who says, ''I oan truthfully say that for eighteen years I was never free from pain for a single day." Meroy ! think of that. What a wretched way to live ! Yet I suppose millions of folk crawl along through the world in that Btyle, Not beoause they want to. Heavens no ! But beoause they can't help it. Thiß was her situation, and an army of other women (.besides crowds of men) oan sympathise with her, She says : ' For over twenty years I was weak and sickly. At first I had a bad taste in the mouth, poor appetite, and an uncomfortable feeling at my ohest and sides, and often tried to obtain ease by holding my sides with my hands. After eating I had great pain it was like a lode on my chest, and I oould not bear it until I vomited all my food up. 1 would be quite faint from the want of food but was afraid to eat. At times I had} bad attacks of spasams whioh nearly doubled me up, and I rambled up and down the houso for hours together, for I could not even lie down. Of course I lost a deal of sleep, and in a morning was so weak and faint I scareely knew how to get out of bed and down Btafrs. For eighteen years I xoas never free from pain for a single day, " I Baw doctor after doctor, and took a great quantity of medicine without finding any real relief. They would not say what was the cause of my ailment. I was fast wasting away, and did not think I oould live much longer, when one day in 1881 my husband heard from Mr Joseph Cooper, of Bourne, of a medicine called Mother fceigel s Ourative Syrup, which he said had oured him, 'If I am spared,' I said to my husband, ' I will try it.' I did so, and before I had taken the first bottle I found relief, and after taking four bottles more I was quite well and strong, "J his is now ten years ago, and I have been in good health ever eince, taking just an occasional dose of the syrup. After my recovery the clergyman said to my husband, * Your missus gets about very different to what abe used to do,' and he told him that Mother Seigel's Syrup had wrought the cure. People tell me I look better than I did twenty yeara ago," and I feel bo strong that I can now dig potatoes and do work with anyone, notwithstanding I am 65 years of age. " My husband suffered tarribly from rheumatism and flux, and has found wonderful benefit ftom the same medioine. He says he would have been in the ohurobyard long ago but for Mother Seigel's Syrup. For myself I oan say it saved my life, and I wish others to know what it has done for me and mine, (Signed). Mi s Esther Asb, wife of William Ayr, of Thurlby, near Bourne, Lincolnshire, ' In this brief and simple way Mrs Ayr tells a story, the full details of whioh would fill a book. What hopes and fears 1 what hours of keen sorrow and deep darkness she must have experienced. Yeß, indeed, None oan even imagine it except those who belong to the great Sisterhood of Suffering. Where she mentions one symptom of her disease she aotually could have named a dozen. For her malady— the fearfully common and fatal one, indigestion and dyspepsia— has as many signs and forms as the mind has fancies, or the heavenß have olouds. From it, as from Bin, eome a thousand pangs and pains to torment and to orush helpless humanity. Seeing what her great discovery has accomplished in this and multitudes of like oases, how good a friend to her kind was Mother Seigel 1 Rip Van Winkle awoke from his nap to find himself old ; Mr Ayr awoke from her long night of illness to find herself young again, Is not the moral plain enough for all the Buffering millions in England 1
