A CASE OP NERVOUS PROSTRATION RKSOLTINGPROM INDIGBSTION.

* They say that misery loves oompany, and they have bad lb so oftan it haa passed into a proverb. Yet it isn't an all-round truth. Pome kinds of misery detest company. They want to be left alone. They hate to be elbowed and questional and talked to. A wounded dog will always orawl into some retired place by itself. The instinct of badly injured men, after a battle, ia the same. Ailments that are mostly fancy tend to set tongues wagging. But real, genuine and dangerous diseases don't inolto to speech. Crises whioh are big with fate usually oome and go m quiet. That ia why Mrs Souffham ha \ no desire for the sooiety of even her beat friends at a certain time she ia going to tell us about. "Up to April, 1881." the writea, «• I never knew what it waa to be ill. Aa that time I began to feel thab something waa amiss with me, I had do relish for my meala, and after eating my cheat felt heavy and painful, and my heart wou'd beat and thump aa though It meant to leap out of its plaoe. Presently I became so swollen round the waiat that I was obliged to unloose try olothing. as I oould not bear anything to tonoh that part of my body 4 ' Ev-n the lightest food gave me pain ? a little fish setting my heart to beating at a great rate. My feet wee cold, an-1 oold, olammy sweats would break out all over me, leaving me exhausted and worn out. At night I got no aleep to apeak o*, and m the morning I felt worse tired than when I went to bed. I also suffered a grett deal from my feet being puffed up and sore. I oould Boaroely get aboat the houae. When I went shopping I bad to ride to the town and baok as I could only walk a few yards. " As time went on I lost my flesh and strergth more and more, and gave up hope of ever recovering the precious health I had sadly lost. I took medicines, and consulted a clever doctor at Derby who examined me and said my heart waa weak. He also gave me medioines, tut I gob only temporary ease from them* and m a short time waa aa bad aa before. AH thia time I was so nervous and depressed that I had no desire for oompany. On the contrary, I eeemed bo want to be alone with my misery; Even a knook at the door frightened me, aa though I expeoted bad news, yet I did not really. My nerves and fanoles ran away with my knowledge and judgment. Thousands of women who have suffered m this way will understand what I mean, "Year after year I remained In this oondition, and what I went through I cannot put ia words, nor do I'wiah to try. It will anawer the purpose to Bay th*t I existed thus for eleven "and a half years, as muoh dead aa alive, I spent pounds on prnnds m physio, bnt was not a wbit the better for any of it. "In October, 1892, a book waa left ab our home, and I read m it of oases like mino being on-ed by Mother Seigel'a Syrup. I got a bottle from Mr Bardel, the chemist, m Normanton Street, Derby, and when I had taken th's medicine foi a few dayß, my appetite waa better and I had leas pain. I kept on taking it, and soon my food agreed with me and I gained strength. " After thia I never looked behind me, but steadily got stronger and stronger. When I had taken three Dottlrs I was quite like a new woman. All the nervousnesa had left me, and my heart waa aound aa a bell, Sinoe then I have enjoyed good health, and all who know me say my recovery is remarkable. lam confident thab Mother Seigel'a Syrup was the means, m the hand* of Providence, of aaving my life ; and out of gratitude, and m hope of doing good, I freely oonaent to the publication of this statement. (Slgaed) (Mrs) Ann Souffham, Cooper's Lane, iaoeby, Grimsby, Tttay l»t, 1895." Thia letter is endorsed by Mr William J. Tollerton, of the same town, who vouches for the truth of what Mra Souffbana haa said, aa he personally knew of the o'rcu instances of her Mneae at the time they ocourred. No oomment oan add a jot to tho force of thia open, oandid, and ainoare communication. Whoaoever reads it must needa be moved and convinced by it. The disease whioh fi led thia woman's life with paiu and misery for nearly twelve years was indigestion or dyapepiia, an ailment aa sly and cunning as a snake m ! the grass —and aa danger ma. Send for the book of whioh Mrs Bauffaani spaika, and read the symptoms m order that yoa may know what ib is, and how to deal with it. Too bonk costs yoj nothing, yet it would be worth buying as it every lsaf were hammered m gold.
