AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM A VETERAN.
As this is Jubilee year it tends to make one look back and think of the flight of time, and in this way I am reminded that I am one of the veterans in the sale of your valueable aud successful medicine. I have sold it from the very first, and have seut it into every county in England and many parts of Scotland. Well do I remember the first circular you sent out some nine or ten years ago. You had come to England from America to introduce Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and I was struck by a para, graph in which you used these words : - * Being a stranger in s strange land, I do not wish the people to feel that I want to take the least advantage over them. I feel that I have a remedy that will cure disease, aud I have so much confidence in it that I authorise my agents to refund the money if people should say that they have not benefited by its use.’ 1 felt at once that you would never say that unless the medicine had merit, and I applied for the agency, a step which I now lock back upon with pride and satisfaction. Ever since that time I have found it by far the best remedy for Indigestion and Dyspepsia 1 have met with, and I have sold thousands of bottles. It has never failed in any case where there were any of the following symptoms :—Net vous or sick headache, sourness of the stomach, rising of the food after eating, a sense of fulness and heaviness, dizziness, bad breath, slime and mucus on the gums and teeth, constipation, and yellowness of the eyes and «kin, dull and sleepy sensations, ringing iu the ears, heartburn, loss of appetite, and, in short, wherever there are signs that the system i 3 clogged, and the blood is out of order. Upon repeated inquiries, covering a great variety of ailments, my customers have always answered, ‘I am better,’ or * I am perfectly well.’ What I have seldom or never seen before in the case of any medicine is that people tell each other of its virtues, and those who have been cured say to the suffering : *Go and get Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, it will make you well.’ Out of the hundreds of cures I will name one or two that happen to come into my mind. Two old gentlemen, whose names they would not like mo to give you, had been martyrs to Indigestion and Dyspepsia for many years. They had tried all kinds of medicine without relief. One of them was so bad he could not bear a glass of ale. Both were advised to use the Syrup and both recovered, and were as hale aDd hearty as men in the prime of life. A remarkable case is that of a house painter named Jeffries, who lived at Penhurst, in Kent. His business obliged him to expose himself a great deal to wind and weather, and he was seized with rheumatism, aud his joints soon swelled up with dropsy, and were very stiff and painful. Nothing that the doctors could do seemed to reach the seat of the trouble; It so crippled him, that he could do hardly any work, and for the whole of the winter .of . 1878 and ’79, he had to give up and take to his bed. He bad been afflicted in this sorry way for three years, aud vvsb getting worn oart and discouraged. Besides, he had spent over £l3 for what ho called ‘doctor’s stuff’ without the least benefit. In the'Spring ho beard of what Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup has done for others and bought a2s 6d. bottle of me. In a few days he sent me word he was much better—before he had finished the bottle. He then Bent to me for a 4s 6d bottle, and as I was gsttne: that way I carried it down to him myself. On getting to bis house what was my astonishment and surprise to find him out in the garden weeding an onion bed. I could hardly believe my own eyes, and said : ‘ You ought Dot to be out here, man, it may be the death of you, a 1 ter being laid up all winter with rheumatism and dropsy.’ His reply was : —* There is no danger. The weather is fine, and Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup has done for me in a few days what the doctors could not do in three years. I think I shall get well now.’ He kept on with the Syrup, and in three weeks he was at work again, and has bad no return of the trouble for now nearly ten years. Any medicine that can do this should be known all over the world. Yours faithfully, (Signed) Rupert Graham, Of Graham & Son. Holloway House, Surbury, Middlesex June 25th, 1887. The above wonderful cure of Rheumatism was the result of the remarkable power of Mother Seigol’s Curative Syrup to cleanse the blood of the poisonous humours that arise rom Indigestion and Dyspepsia, Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup is for sale by all chemists and medicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A.
