MR DUANE, OF AUCKLAND.
We shall print the whole of Mr Isaac Dnauo’s letter, only regretting that it is not longer. Ho might have mentioned that Juno, the month in which ho wrote, is the coldest month in tho year in his country, and January the hottest. He might also have reminded us that How Zealand is almost as large, as Great Britain, with «- mnch more desirable climate. , Ho might further have said that it is a wholesome place to live in, as it contains few physical sources of disease, and possesses no insect so noxious as the English wasp. Yet on reading his loiter wo shall find that those attractive, islands in the far Southern Sea are uot free from an enemy wo aro called upon to fight here in England, as elsewhere throughout tho world. * ■
“ I havo much pleasure in -writing you/' says Mr Duane, “as to mo it is a privilege as well as a duty to describe an experience in which I am confident you'will be interested. “ Ever since I was a boy I have not duly- 1 suffered from indigestion in its worst form/ .but I-have boon a martyr to it; Such success in life as I have achieved has been in the face of .the constant opposition set up by this miserable complaint. All its symptoms are familiar to me as the smoke of London is to a dweller in that rather grim old city. The bad taste in the mouth, the fitful .appetite, the distress in the stomach after eating, the, pains in the cheat and back, the dull headache, the sense of weariness and fatigue," the depves; sion of spirits, the want of ambition td tako hold of any labour, the weaknesstresulting from lack of sufficient, nourishment, &c.—all these were, part and parcel of my life from my youth toa time lam going to speak of in a moment.' “ I can only account for it by assuming that I must havo inherited a.tendency to this disease. At all events it cast a gloom over my whole history up to the date of my recent happy .deliverance, of the sleepless, wretched nights I passed would make almost a volume by itself. Times beyond counting I have arisen from’ my bed in the morning, glad* the night was gone, and yet in no frame of .mind. to. welcome the day. To the chronic dye-, peptic rest does not bring strength as .it does to others.
“You will hardly need to bo'told that I made every effort to obtain a euro; I tried medicine after medicine—now something I thought of myself and then something advertised in .the newspapers.. And as to doctors (against t whom X desire to say not a word), I tried oho after another, and faithfully used the pioscripHons'they £ave mo ; but nothing: more than temporary relief came of it. ■ >
“ About four years ago a friend spoke to me of the great reputation of Mother Soigel's Syrup in curing all ailments of the digestion, and urged me to make a trial of it. I might* as well say frankly that I had little faith that it would do mo any good ; but I was in such pain that I was in a mood to try anything that offered the' remotest chance of a cure. . So I bought a bottle, and the very first dose made ihe feel better," This was so cheering and hopeful that I continued taking the Syrup, , and to my surprise Igrew better and bettor until I was cured. AU the symptoms which made my life a burden, for so many years are.now gone,, and I am a r different m&u, If'over, from any cause, I have a temporary recurrence of -indigestion, a fow doses of Mother SeigeTs Syrup produces immediate relief; and leave mo in good health,- You have my full consent to publish .this-, letter. I ; am well known in Auckland, and always glad to tell anyone by word of mouth what a wonderful cure your remedy - worked in my case.—(Signed) Isaac Duane, coachbuilder, Karangahapo road, Auckland, Now Zealand, June 25th, 1895/' M ~ Our home readers will perceive that not in England* aloiio, but in far distant quarters of the globe, this celebrated medicine is known;-and iis successful where others do not avail, ■ It.is the. most com-, mon place of truths that its praises are sounded wherever civilisation extends, and almost in every written language the name of Mother Seigel's’ Syrup finds an acknowledged place; - > ' ■' ■
