A WOMAN’S SUFFERINGS AND GRATITUDE.

AVOIOBJBOM AfrsTBIA. Near the village of Zillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as related by her* self, is of interest to English women. " I was employed,” she says, “ in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headache, followed hy a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain either food or drink. I 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 my every limb. This was followed by a cough and 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 bad nearly come, and that I could not live longer than when tho trees put on their green once more. Then I hap* pened to get one of the Beigel pamphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigsl’l Syrup, which I took exactly according to the directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a great ohangs for the better. My last illness began June 3rd, 1882, and continued to August 9th, when I 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 I am perfectly cured. And oh, how happy lam! I can* not express gratitude enough for Seigel's Syrup. Now I must tell you that the doc* tors in our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine, telling 'them it would do (hem no good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel pamphlets; but now, wherever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around our district. People have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it cured me, and to be sure to get the right kind. I know a woman who was lookio g like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that she had consulted several doo* tors, bnt none could help her. I told her ot Seigel’s Syrup, and wrote the name down for her (hat she might make no mistake. She took my advice and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around •s are amazed, The medicine has made such progress in our neighborhood 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 eold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch her, There was not a doctor in the surrounding district to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they eonld 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 is as healthy as anybody, goes 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 mine for God's mercies and Seigel’l Syrup.” Mabia Haas. The people of England speak confirming the above. APTEB MANY YEABS. “ Whittle-le-Woods, near Ohorley, “ December 26th, 1883. “ Dear Sir,—Mother Seigel’s medicine sells exceeding well with ns, all that try it speak highly in its favor. We had a case of a young lady that had been troubled many years with pains after eating. She tells us that the pains were entirely taken away after a few doses of your medicine.—Tours truly, “ B.
