A Woman's, S ufferings and Gratitude

A VOICE PROM AUSTRIA;,

jNear the village of Zillingdorf, in Lowei Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as related by herself, is ol interest to English women. ♦* I was employed," s>bie says, "in the work of a large 'farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headache, folio wed' bj ii deathly- fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. 1 was compelled to take 'to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in nay side, which in a little while seemed to spread over my whole body,' and throbbed in every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until 'finally I could not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought, for the last time. My friends told me that my time had 'nearly come, and that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then 1 happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlets. I read it and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel's Syrup, which I took exactly according to directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt agre&tchange for the better. My last illness began June 3 1882, and continued to August 9, when I began to take the Syrup. Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me, and I was no more troubled in breathing, Now lam perfectly cured. And oh, how happy I am ! I cannot express gratitude enough for Seigel's Syrup. Now I must tell you that the doctors in our district distru* uted handbills cautioning people against tht> medicine, telling them it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, whenever oie is to be found it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around our district. People have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them,; knowing that it cured me, and to be sure to get the right kind.* I know a woman who was looking like; death, and who bold them there was no help for her, that sho had consulted several doctors, but none, could belp her. I told her of Seigel's Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my advice ■ and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around us are amazed. , The mesKcme has made such progress in our; neighbourhood that people say they don't want, the doctor anj more, but they take the Syrup. ■ Sufferers from gout who were confined to their, bed and could hardly move a finger, have been- cured by it. There is a girl in our district who ; caught a cold by . going through some water j and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surrounding districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every, one crossed themselves and said they could not.help her.. Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in our place when somebody is dead, we, thought surely it was for her, but Seigel's Syrup and Pills saved her life, and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knowing how many years she had been in bed. To-day she adds her. gratitude to niin foi God's mercies and Seigel's Syrup." ; > Maria H*ju, The people of England speak con&nu Jg :<: < . above. • - "■ AFTER MANY YEARS.
