A Woman's Sufferings and Gratitude

A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA. Near the village of Zillingdorf , ' in Lowei Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent a*ul industrious woman, whose story of physical sitfferiug and final relief, as related by herself, is ol interest to English women. " I was employed," she says, "in the work of a large farmhouse, Overwork brought on sick headache, followed bj a 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 my side, which in a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in every limb. This was followed by a cough aud 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 wheu the trees put on their green' once more. Theu 1 happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlots. 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 wholeof it before I felt agreatchange for the better. My last illness began June 3 1882, and continued to August 9, when 'l 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 distrfc uted handbills cautioning people against ths medicine, telling them it would do them no good, and many were thereby influenced to, destroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, whenever oneii to be found it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for sii miles around our district. Peoplt have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine fer them, knowing that it cured me, and to be sure to' get the right kind. I know % woman who was looking like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that Bhe had consulted several doctors, but none could help 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 mealscine has made such progress in our neighbourhood, that people say they don't want the doctor any, 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, and was in bed the years with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the 1 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 i 6 as healthyas anybody, goeb 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 minsfot God's mercies and Seigel's Syrup." , TS.AB.Jii HiAS. > The people of England speak conSimiSg^J above, JEFTER HLA2TY YEARS. • " Whittle-le-Woods, near Chorley, " December 26, 1883.
