IT RECALLS THE BLIZZARD.

In March, 1888, the great blizzard in America almost extinguished the city of New York. The like of it was before seen. Ihe snow completely stopped all local traffic. Not a horse or a wheel could move. All the telegraph lines leading into the city were prostrated, and for two or three days the people of Boston and New York communicated with each other by wiy of London by mans of the Atlantic cables. Thus messages intended for persons three hundred miles distant were sent six thousand miles, crossing the ocean twice. An incident which recalls this experience to the writer’s mind happened a short time ago here m England. Suppose we let the gentleman interested 101 l his own story He says:—“l have suffered more or less from indigestion and dyspepsia all my life. I had a bad taste in the mouth, pain after eating, a poor appetite, and sour stomach. My tongue was coated, and my mouth constantly filled with a watery fluid. No matter what I ate, however light, it disagreed with me and|gave me I had fulness of the chest, and pain at my side, with a miserable low, dull feeling. From time to time I consulted a doctor who gave me medicines, but they did very little good. The doctor said that the coating of my stomach was disordered, and the mucous membrane was inflamed. In 1877 I received a {.hampiet from New York telling of a medicine called Mother Seigel’s Curative Syrup, ,and of the extraordinary cures it had effected, so I procured a supply, and after taking the first I felt better, and by the time I had taken four bottles more, I was completaly cured, aud have been in good health, as regards the indigestion, ever since. Having studied the practice of herbs for many years, I was in the habit of treating people for erysipelas and other oomplainu, aud was fre quently consulted by people in the district, so after my remarkable cure I was so impressed with the merits of Seigel’s Syrup, that I procured a large supply of the medicine, and recommended it to all who were suffering, and people came from far and near for it. I may mention that on a Sunday my house was beseiged by miners from Coal Pit Heath and others from a distance. On every hand I heard nothing but the loudest praise and of the cnres it effected, and the fame of this medicine was spread throughout the West of England with no other advertising than one party telling another of the benefit they had derived from this wonderful medicine. I wish everyone to know of this, and it by publishing this statement it will help others who may be suffering as I was, it will afford me pleasure. i he letter from which the foregoing is an extract is signed Moses Godwin, Old So ibury (Sodbury) Qlos, and it is dated April 9th, 1891. He is a farmer, The reader will notice that while the headquarters for the sale of Mother SeigoTs Syrup is universally known to be iu London, by a strange chance Mr Goodwin’s first informa tion concerning it came from America, three thousand miles away, which recalls the incident of the American blizzard above narrated, and also shows that the fame and u-efulness of this medicine extends to nil civilised countries. Mr Benjamin Edgerton, grccer and provision dealer, Plat Lane, Whixall, Whitchurch, Salop, says : “ While iving with Mr Roberts, Fens Wood Farm, I ii st began to feol a dull heavy weight at my side, and noticed a bad taste in the mouth with foul stomach and uncomfortable feeling after eatiug. I had no appetite, and when I eat down to the table I could not touch the food. I had a goaddeal of pain and noise in the head, and could not sleep for it. I was not fit for heavy work, and oould only do light jobs about the farm. After cutting a hedge I would go quite faint, and had to sit down, and felt so much depressed I oould have cried. Having always I been such a strong man I took it badly to be reduced to such a weak state. I took all kinds of physic and saw a doctor, but bis medicine only eased me for a bit, and then I was worse than before. I went on in this way for over a year, when a servant that came to live at Mr Roberts told me of a i medicine called Mother Seigel’s Syrup. She had heard a gentleman talking about it in I the railway carriage, and he praised it so much that I thought I would try it. After I had taken two bottles my food did me y, }od, and I gained strength, and by persevering with the syrup £ soon got as strong as ever, and have never ailed anything since.”
