BETTER AND BRIGHTER.

MISS MARGRET RAVEN OF SYDNEY WHITES'A LETTER TELLING HOW JOY OVERCAME HER DESPAIR. “There is no joy like the joy of being again in perfect health after you have been disabled, so to speak, by the pains and after-effects of a long, tedious illness.” That is the spirit of a letter written on December 7th, 1904, by Miss Margret Haven, of 127, Quay Street, Ultimo, Sydney, in which she most graphically describes her pains, and the wearying effects of the disease —indigestion—that tortured her for years. In her letter she says:—“l don’t think anyone in the world has suffered more cruelly from indigestion than, I have. For years it blotted all Happiness out of my life and brought mo almost to the grave. It made me weak, thin, pale, and . nerveless, unable to eat, sleep, work or enjoy any of the pleasures of society. .1 was then residing at Hyde Pv'-, 'delaide, South Australia, oi wnich city I am a native. My case baffled all the skill and knowledge of my doctors. In tbo end I could not retain food on my stomach, and the mere sight of food often made mo retch and vomit till I was exhausted. The straining from this cause frequently brought on a bleeding from the lungs which alarmed me lest it might lie consumption. About two years back, on the faith of advice from a near friend I began to take Mother Seigel’s Syrup. “To my great joy Mother Seigel’s Syrnp'proved to be quite as good as my friend had represented it to be. From tne first it enabled mo to retain my food, and within a couple of weeks I regained my lost appetite. Day by day there was a marked improvement in ray health and appearance.^ “I felt like a better and brighter being. Instead of moping about , the bouse, dejected and listless, I was soon able to take active interest in the affairs of life. After a few months of eesseverancq with the medicine my

heaun was thoroughly re-established, and I still remain quite well and happy.”' Tiio, strongest testimony in ilisn Raven’s case is contained in the seven wox’ds at the close of her letter, “I still remain quite well and happy! 1 *
