WHO IS MOTHER SEIGEL.
She is a lady who, by the merest accident, ha: made a most valuable discovery, and she is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the country, and everybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTA TION? and she tells them to read the thousands oi letters, something like the following from Mt Perkins : — A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. " Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W. f "January 2,1885. "Your medicine most be the most wonderful discovery, for during my experience of more than 20 years I never knew any proprietary 01 patent medicine in such universal favour and demand. It is simply exttaordinary, and if I were to send yon an account of every statement made to me in its favour you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signed) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people ask— WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO ? GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. " 59 Bloomfield road, Plumstead, "January 7, 1885. M I find the sale of your medicines increases every year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady that attended the Female Hospital in Soho square for some months with pains in back and side, and bilious, and could take no food, but got no benefit from any of the medicines they gave her. Before she had taken all the contents of one bottle of your syrup she fell relief, and is now quite well. (Sgnad) «W. K. Baker." THB EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS. " Medical Hall, Bangor, "January 5, 1885. " I hear people constantly speaking very highk of Seigel's Syrup. There is • case of a ytfunjj married lady in Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asthma for a long period, whohao consulted some of the best physicians of the day, but without deriving any benefit. She was daily getting worse ; but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seigel's Syrup. She procured » bottle, and the effect was marvellous; she rapidly improved, and now she is as strong .and healthy as ever she has been. (Signed) "H. Lloyd-Jones." WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL GOOD FOR? DOES NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES THE LIVING. Mr J. W. Sayill; of Dunmow, Essex, writes, September 1884: — " X introduced your medicines into Dunmow almost as soon as they were brought out in London. I sold in a short time £18 worth. I have known many grand cases of permanent cures; and, as yet, no case of failure. Notwithstanding many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup holds its own ground. I believe it a good medicine — it will not restore the dead to life, but it appears to save the living from dying." < A CASE OF GRAVEL CURED. " Feltham, January 6, 1885. " It has always given me pleasure to recommend your medicines to my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been nios:satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials.' One case just now occurs to my mind. A constable of the police force of Tooting, S.W.,.where I for many years had a shop, wa* a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attach of gravel. He was pursuaded to try ' Mother Seigel's Syrup.' He purchased a bottle at my shop, and by the time he had taken half of it he reported himself to me as quite cured. The effect was simply miraculous. (Signed) " J. D. Florance."
IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE ?
Would respectable chemists write like the following if not?
SURGICAL OPERATION AVERTED.
"Ticehurst, December, 1884.' Mr Edward Cojbkb, Chemist, writes:— "Your medicine maintains a steady sale in this district, and is well established in general favour. 1 Jmow an old man, over seventy, who some three or four years ago was advised to submit to the operation for stone. He certainly was suffering from some distressing symptoms, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about fairly well, and, having taken three or four 2s 6d bottles, he was completely cured. He is still about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptoms of the old trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the Syrup, and all is well again."
WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MOTHER SEIGEL. AN EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS.
11 Cosham, Hants, January 2, 1885,
"My customers, over a wide country district, are not ' very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials to send ; but verbal admiration of your, medicine is in the ascendant, and my experience of forty years assures me that no other preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity, and so firmly maintains its reputation as Mother Seigel's Syrup. 3 (Signed) "Thomas H. Baker."
