ONE WOMAN'S NERVES.
Looking backward to a certain loa«ly and Uiibuppy tiuv-, a lady says : "1 dragged on in tlm miserable conditiou for years, until I got tired of doctoiiag and taking stuff tlwt dil me no good. Oco physician attended me for eighteen months, <uo but little reluf. " 1 slept only in a broljcn fashion, and und croso in th^ n.urnin^ very little the better for huvinjf ,';nno to be-d. There was im'uu H^vbre -pain in my head vnd over my eyes, and an almost constant sense of sietness. "1 he skin gradually got dry and yellow, the regicn of the stomach and bowels ft It cold f.nd dene 1 , and the cp.!nr:>.l eucryy a'nri wnr-.;th appeared lobe tbbine oui of cue likw the water oat of a river at low tide. "In Jnue, 18S9, whilst living a Moredown, Bournemouth. I Had a woree attack iban any I had before. I was taken with a feeing of cramp, as if pins ond needles wero running into me, ai over :ny body. I couli not move, and had to lie helpless iv bed. Tbe doc' or was sent for,* and attended i>e every day, bat did not seem to know what to make of my case. In faci, ho «as puzzled, und finally Baid, *I don't i\asJy know what jour complaint ia.' '"' I ireniblcd r.nd shook ana felt as if I should fi:ll to pieces. I was first hot and then coid, and so riieadfully nervous I could not bear any one in ihe room with me, onfi yit I did not wish them* far away in cute I bhouKJ call out for help. Everj time ont> uf thsso i-pnt=mß came oa 1 said to oiyeelf, ' I cm snrts I shall never got n p again.' '•' I tcok nothing but liquiJ food, and yc-t ecu 'd not r.-tain even that on my etomacl*. By ibid time I was nothing bnt Ekin and hone. My less went clammy, aE if I hud r.o blood left in me. My memory compftttly i ailed. I naver expected t to recover, and that was the opinion of toy friends. After they had called to see me they would £0 away sajing, 'Slid will never pit belter.' My head ached so dreadful^ I thought 1 should lose my sgiises. "I had given up all hope, when one day niy friend Mra West, of Bournemouth, ca'ltd and asked what I was taking. 1 said, ' Ob, I'cd tired of taking things ; it's no use ; 1 shall die. 1 Then she told me fehe wsb once ill much as I wae. and was cured by Mother Sei^el'a Curative Syrop. * l ?Ve!i, ! I s-jjfj, ' I'il try it if jou will eend for it.' Sbo did so, and I B'-tuied to fuel b-tter on taking the first dose, and after three Cats I w«s able to walk across the roruj, and by the end of tho week I went down stairs. Kow I am weli as ever. All iry nervoneneeS has left tnv, and 1 can cut un<i (ii^i-si u»y food without feeling auy dis rets. " I * ai»t to nay finally, that I knew Siother S^i_;ei J 8 Cuiative byrup, and elouid have tried it years before if certain acquaintances hadn't said, 'Ob, don't take it, tor it will do you no good. 1 Tbey said that because it was advertised , not because they knew for themselves. It was bad advice for me, and cost me years oi torfnre. From what I have said — which is but part of my s'ory — the people may infer what 1 think of this remedy. I thank God that 1 did resort to it at last before it was too late." (Signed) Mre. Jine Foster, Darracott Road, Pokesdown, .Bournemouth, Hants. Marcb, 1890. It is only necessary to add that the malady from which Mxv. Foster suffered was indigestion, dyspepsia, and nervoub prostration. Brought on originally by grief aud shock at her husband's sudden and violent death, her system did cot rally until Mother Seigel's Curative Syrnp removed th*> torpor of the digestive organs, and thus enriched tbe blood and led the nerves. It always has this effect in like cases. We can only regret that the iooiishly piocrastinated in the mallei of using it. iler statement of facts may bo relied upon, as the case has been thoroughly aud impartially investigated
