THREE FORTUNATE WOMEN.

We will introduce you to the oldest one first. Her name is Mrs .Tespio Russell, and she lives near the city of New York, in America, She was born in London in 1787, and is therefore 105 years old She remembers many incidents of her childhood, and still has traces of former beauty Her eyes are bright, and become animated whet she talks. She retains her mental faculties completely. She descends two flights of stairs to every meal, and retorns with oal assistance. Dp to three years ago she was a rejular attendant at tbe Green wood Baptist Church. Her sight is excellent, and she reads the newspapers every day, and takes great interest in the news from Fngland. She has rever had any severe illness in her life, and her appetite and digestion are almost as good as they were fifty years ago. The second woman gays : " Ever since I was a child I have suffeied from illness Thirteen years ago a tired, languid, and heavy feeling came over me. The whites of my eyes became tinged with yellow, my skin was sallow, and my hands and feet were cold and clammy. My mouth tasted badly, especially in the morning I was often sick, vomiting a sour, frothy fluid. I had a pain in the chest and sides, heartburn, and flatulency. For four years I suffered like this, and I shall bo glad to recommend tho medicine that finally cured mo." (Signed) (Mrs.) Frances Emily Smith, 49a, Woodhouse Street, Leods, January 25th, 1892. Tho third woman nays • "1 buvo beon delicate all my life. For tho past six years I have always felt tired, languid, and weak. 1 had a poor appetite, a baH tasto in the mouth, and a pain after every uior sel 1 ate. I was dizzy, and often felt as if 1 was going to fall I alwa3 - s felt sick, and would retch and strain, but could bring nothing up. There was a dull pain at ihe right pide and a dreadful pain between tho shoulders. I never knew what it was to be well. After being on my feet for a time my legs would swell very much. No doctor was able to help me, nor any medicine ; that is, the time I took the one which gave me my health back. I never felt so well in my life as Ido now." (Signed) (Mrs.) Sauaii Shar.man, Glinton, ne.^r Market Deeping, Foburary 19. h 1802. Why do wo put these three women in a group — the one venerable woman in America and tho two others here in England ? They are perfect strangers to one another and always will be. We do it to Bhow how long and happily a woman may live if she only happens to escape the malady that everywhere threatens her sex ; and also to show that those who have been burdened and cursed with it may be cured and once more tasto the joys of health. Mra. Smith concludes her letter in these words: "After taking three bottles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup all pains and sickness left me, and I knew no more of the ailment that had troubled me so long, indigest on and dyspepsia. I know others who have been benefited by the Syrup All sufferers should use it." Mrs. Shsrnian "»dde that after she bad doctored and doctored and taken everything, almost without getting any good from it. Mr. Webster, a grocer of Glinton, said, "Why don't you uso Mother Eeigel's Curative Syrup ?'' She acted on bis sugi estioD,and health wasn't long in comma. " I cannot apeak too highly of Boigel's Syrup," ahe says. Wo should ugres with her in that opinion, for a remedy that will in a few weeks put an ond to a case of chronic indigestion and dyspepsia is certainly worth a pood word or two. Now hero you hive these three Englibh women — one so fortunate as to have lived more than a century without an illness ; tho others {still more fortunate) havo known the sadness of suffering ami the pleasure of recovery. Oh, my ! oh, my ! how hard it is to toll who jh bent off in this queer world.
