THREE FORTUNATE WOM N.

We will introduce yon to the oldest one first Her name id Mrs Jessie Kusbt-11, and she lives near the city of New York, in Ameiica, !Shc was born in Lo; don in 1787, and iv thorefoie 105 years old She reiuombo'B many incidents of her childhood, and bijll has traces of former beauty {'er ey3BHrt» bright, and lie«.onie animated when she talks, bhe re aios her mental faculties completely, bhe descends two flights of s'airs to every meal, and returns withone assistance. Up to three years ago >he was a regular attendant at the" Greenwood Baptist Church. Her sight is excellent, and »lib na Is the newspapers every day, and lakes great intorett iD tha now from ' ngland. She has cover had any severe lilneuß in her lifo. and hur appetite nnd digestion aie aluioßt us good as they were fifty years :.go. Tl.e secoml woman Fays : " P"ver since I was a ciiild I have suffeied from illness. Pliir eon yeaia ago a tire'l, languid, aud heavy feeling ta'iie over me. The whiteß of niv eyes necamo tinged with yellow, my skin was sallow, and m) hands ai.i teat were cold and ciaiuiuy. My 'jouth fixte'l baily, e>pßcially in the morning, I was often nick, vomiting a sour, frothy ll n id. 1 h.id a pain in the olient and sides, ho rlbtirn. and flatulency. For four years I suffered like this, ami 1 shill be glau to recommend themedioine that fioa.ly cured inn" (Signed' (Mrs.) Frances tMILY Sjijtii 49a, Woodi oute Street, Leede, January 25th, 1892. The third woman says • •' I have been delicate all my life For the past *ix years 1 have always felt tired, languid, and wen^ I had a 1 oor appotite, a bad taste in the month, and a pain after e%'ery tnornel I ate. I was dizzy, and of len felt as if I was going to fall I always felt sick, and would retch and strain, but could bring nothing up. There was a dull inio at the right Mrie und a dieadlul , uin between the shoulders. I nt>ver knew what it was to be well. After being on my feet for a time my legu woull Bwell very much. No doctor was able to help me, nor any inedicine : that is, up to the time I took the one which giivo me my health back. I never felt so well in my life as Ido now." v.Signed) (Mrs.) Sa.ah Sharman, Glinton, near Market Deeping, Feburaiy 19 h, 1892. Why f'o we put these three women in a group -the one venerable wotnan in America and th • two others herein England ? They are pet feet strangers to one a- other and always will be. We do it to bliow how long and happily a woman may ive if she only happens to' escape the inal dy that everywhere threatens her sex; and albO to show that those who have been burdened and curweel with it may be cured, and (.nee more taste the j^ys of healtu. Mrs Smith coi.u'uiles her letter <n these words: "After taking three bottles of Mother Sei^el's Cura.he Syrup alljuDß und sickness left mo, and I knew no more of thu ailment that ha<! troubled n;e so long, indigestion and dyspepsia.

' Mie acted ou liis sugestio , and health wasn t long in coming. a I cannot sotak too highly of Syrup," she saye. We should us?ree with her in tl at opinion, for a remedy that will in a few weeks (. ut an end to a case of chronic indigestion and dyspepsia is certainly woith a t ood word or two. -" Now here you aye theso throe Englishwomen — one so forturate as to have lived more than a century without an illness ; the others (ttill mom fortunul>-) have known the sadness of suffering uad the pleasure of recovory. Oh, m-, ] oh. my ! how hard it is to tell who is best off in this queer worl ..
