became low, weak, and fretful, and complained of pain in the chest after eating. Next her stomach was so irritable that she vomited all the food she took. It was awful to see her heave and strain. For three weeks nothing passed through her stomach except a little soda water and lime water Later on. her fe 't and legs began to swell and puff from dropsy. She was now pale as death and looked as though she had not a drop of blood in her body, and was always cold. Month after month dragged by and she got weaker every day. She could not walk without support, for she bad ;lost the proper use of her legs, and her body swayed from side to side as she moved. “A doctor attended her for twelve months, and finally said it was no use giving her any more medicine as it would he no good. In may, 1891,1 took her to the Dewsbury Infirmary. She got no better there, and I thought I was surely going to lose her. She was then thirteen years of age. “ One day a lady (Mrs Lightoller) called at and seeing how bad my daughe , was, spoke of a medicine called Seigel’s Curative Syrup, and persuaded us to try it. I got a bottle from the Thornhill Lees Co operative Stores, and she began taking it. In two days she found a little relief; and sickness was not so frequent She kept on with the Syrup and steadily improved. Soon she was strong as ever, and has since been in the best of health and can take any kind of food. After she had taken the Syrup only two weeks the neighbours were surprised at her improved appearance and I told them what had brought it about—that Soigel’s Syrup had done what the doctors could not do, it saved her life. Yours truly, (Signed), (Mrs) Sarah Ann Sheard, 19, Brewery Lane, Thornhill, Lees, near Dewsbury, October 11th, 1892.'’ The inciting cause of all this young girl’s pitiful suffeiing was indigestion and dyspepsia, dropsy being one of its most dangerous symptoms It attacks both youth aud age, ics fearful and often fatal results being due to the fact that physicians usually treat the symptoms instead of the disease itself. “ A child’s dreams,” says Dr Richardson, “ are signs of disturbed health, and should be regarded with anxiety.” The same is true of the dreams of older people. They mean poison in the stomach and point to the immediate use of Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup.
