NO BUILDING BIG ENOUGH.

Probably the Wo women whose names we are about to mention (by their good will and consent) never saw or even heard of each other. A broad bit of sea-water rolls betweeD the places where they severally live. Still, the world ia getting smaller every day, and it ie quite possible they may meet; if they do, they will have a common subject for a talk. Without waiting for that, however, we will let the reader into the secret (so far as it is a secret) right on the spot

The first lady to be named resides at Bishop's Norton, near Kirton, Lindsey, Lincolnshire, and in a letter dated the 16th if the blustering month of March, 1893, she says, " I TREMBLED FEO3I HEAD TO FOOT." This would scarcely be worth mentioning if it had been simply the result of a frigh f , and therefore bound to pass off in a few minutes. But it lasted for a long time, and did not arise from a fright, or any othei form of excitement. It meant sheer weakness, and a wholesale upsetting of the nerves. "I was constantly sick and dizzy," she says, " and had a dull pain between the shoulder*. I had no appetite, and the effect of what little I did eat was so bad and gave me so much distress that after a time I hardly dared touch any food or drink. During this period, I may just mention that I was terribly constipated, intervals of 10 days sometimes elapsing 'between the actions of the bowels. No laxatives or enemas availed to relieve this condition, and I became more feeble and prostrated clay by clay. My illness bogan in August, 1892, and after four months' suffering I was completely cured in December by youi remedy. Indeed, it was not necessary for me to take quite one bottle. If anyone who reads this littlo ptalement of mine wishes to know more about my case, I will gladly answer inquiries. (Signed) Mrs M. G. Wai sham."

The second lady write? from her home No. 12 Horgan's Buildings, College road, Cork, dating her letter the 27th of the sunny month of June, 1893. She says, "Everything was a trouble and a burden. For nights together I got no sleep. I couldn't bear the noise at the children. I had no desire for company; I wanted to be alone in my misery. I often thought I was going to die. I was in this way for nearly 12 months." Now this was bad ; very, very bad. When a woman cannot bear the noise of her own children — which of all noises is least observed by a mother's ear — why, her nerves are, as wo might say, all gone to pieces. And inasmuch as the nerves are only a part of the body, it follows that the whole system is badly out of_ order. And so it was. " The complaint," she says, "came on in October, 1890. " It wan marked by failure of the appetite, pain and weight in tho chest after eating, a sinking feeling at tho pit of the stomach, hiliouanoßH, flatuloitoy, and other signs with which tho readers of these articles aro s<> s-adly familiar.

Of tho proßrcsd '>f tho malady and how low it reduced hor «''o has already Hpnkoii. The end of it all — a happy end, thanlc Morcy — was like this: ''In September, 1891," sho adds, "my husband xiersuaded mo to try a medicine he had heard and read so much about. I did so, and soon found rolief — a relief that none of the other medicines I had used were able to give me. My lost appetite came back, and my food digested easily and strengthened me. You hardly need -be told that I continued taking the medicine, and Boon I was well as ever I woe in my life and

have ailed nothing since. Yours truly (Signed) Mrd Lucy Carroll." Women, like men, never agree \ipon all the topics which come up in conversation. It would be a dull world if they did. But these two will agree that they were afflicted with the same complaint — indigestion and dyspepsia; and that Mother Seigel's Curative tiyrup, which restored them both to health, is one of the very best friends in time of trouble that their sex ever had.

And what is more, if all the women in this kingdom who think the same were collected in one meeting, no building could be found big enough to accommodate them.
