SHE PUT IT IN THE CUPBOARD.

What a weary thing it ii to be ill, eipociftlly for a long time. Yon are tired of advice, tired of trying this, that, and the othor, tired of fanoymg you aro a trifle better, tired of taking precautions against gottlng worse. You are tired of pain, and half bo ieve the sooner you are under the ground the better for you, and the more agreeable to your friends. Here's a little story. A woman told it lately, Sho says : [COI'Y.] "I, Mary Jones, of 3, Galton street, Great Howard street, Liverpool, deolaro as follows : 11 1 have Buffered all my life from woaknepft of the atomaoh and sluggish liver. I wa« Always tired and languid, and often troubled with billious headaohe u y appetito was poor. 1 uover had desire for food, and what I did eat did uot digest pioperly. I had always a bad taite in my mouth, and a slimy uoum would cover my mouth and toeth, and so bad was this that I was obliged to rinso it away before eating. When I wai In my teens X was very weakly 1 and would faint after sitting down to my meals. 1 had trembling at the heart, with a hoavy weight at the chest, pain at my side, and a strange giddy feeling would oome ovor mo. When out walking in the street I used to have to stand and rest for fear of Jailing. I was also »o weak that when going about my work I had often to sit down and rest. At times I had a bad oough and pain in my lungs. I saw dootor after doctor, and was under medioal treatment for more than 12 years. One dootor said I wa« suffering from an enlargement of the liver, another said I had heart disoaso, a third Eaid my lungs were congested and that I oould not reoover. Thinking 1 was now in a consumption, I went to a consumptive hospital and was under treatment there for some time. The doctors, alter sounding my chest, told me I was in a dooline, and that my left lung was oongested. Thoy gave me cod-liver oil and other medicines, but I got no hotter. " In July, 189D, after a bad fainting I became so bad I had to take to my bed, and was attended by three doctors for a month. The first doctor who saw me said I oould not recover. I had intense pains in my stomaoh, and could got nothing to pass my bowete. Various means wero tried and found usoless. I oould tako liquid food only and waa fast sinking, my caeo being considered hopeless by both the physicians ami the nurie, At this time it was that my huaband heard through Mr Parry, the chemist in Great Howard streot, of a modiolne called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, »nd wo were presentod with a book which described a cane just like- mine having been cured by it. Aly husband procured a bottle of this medioine and I began taking it. After a few doses I ptssed a motion as blaok as coal and experienced groat relief, and shortly after felt as I wanted something to eat. When the dootor called next day he oould see u marked ohango in mo, and said, ' Mrs Jones, we havo givon you the right medioino at last. He thought it wan his last bottle that bad worked the ohaugo, whereas tho nurse had put tho modioine in tho cupboard untouched. 1 went on with Mother Stigol's Syrup, and to tho delight of my huiband, father und nurso I nover looked behind me. All the pain at tho heart and chest gradually left me, and iu a fortnight I was strong onovtgh to bo removed to the scanido, and havo ever uinoe been in good health 11 1 never felt so well in my Hfo as I do now. All my friends oonsidor the euro a* a .niraculouB one, and I wish othorn to know by what means my life was saved, I am williug that Messrs A. J. White, Limited, shall make whatever uuo thoy may think lit of this statement, and I hen by authorise them to do so, 1 Dated this 3rd April, 1891. "(Signed) Mrs Mary Jones." There wns nothing "injraculoui" about thiB lady's recovery, although it may havo been, and indeed it was, remarkable, liul it was nil along tho straight linos of naVuio. She had suffered all her Jifo from indigestion and dyopepsia* and her other ailments aroso from that, and that alono. Shu could not digest hor food, aud tho whole system was porishing from tho poison in tho stomaoh and from lack of nutrition, Mother Seigel's Syrup did its one work, it oleausod away tho corrupted matter and net the digestive* orgaus (tho liver, stomaoh, and bowels) in natural operavion, and immediate improvement and final recovery followed as neooisary consequences. Eapooially should tho reader notice tho olose resemblance between tho symptoms of dyspepsia and those of consumption, through which most unhappy mistakes aro constantly niftdo. Never oonoludo you havo consumption until you are snr« ifc isn't d>socpsia, The ohanoes are that tho results will be the same as la Mrs Jones' case.
