A WOMAN FROM AUSTRIA.
Near tho village of Zillingdorf, m Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman, whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as related by herself, is of interest to English women. " 1 wns employed," sho says, "m tho work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headacho, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of tho stomach, until I was unable to retain cither food or drink. I was compelled to tako to my bed for several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do somo work, but wus soon taken with a pain m my side, which m a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed mmy oyery limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until finally I could not eew, ami I took to uiy bed for tho
i second, and, as I thought for the last time. i My friends told mo that my time had nearly come, and that I could not live longer than i when the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought mo a bottle of Seigel's Syrup which I took exactly according to directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a great change for the better. My last illness began June 3rd, 1882, and continued to Aug st 9th, when I began to take tho Syrup. Very soon I could 1 do a little light work. The cough left mo, and I wns no more troublod m breathing. Now I fim perfectly cured. And oh, how happy I am ? I cinnot express gratitude enough for Seigol's Syrup. Now I mußt tell you that tho doctors m our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the , medicine, telling them it would do them no , good, and many were thereby influenced to destroy tho Seigel pamphlets ; but now wherever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. Tho 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 1 for them, knowing that it cured mo, and to bo sure to get the right kind. I know a woman that was looking like death, and wh» told them there was no help for her, that Bhe had consulted several doctors, but none could help her. I told her ot Seigel's Syrup, and wrote tho name down for her that she might make no mistake. She took my advice and tho Syrup, and now she is m perfect health, and the people around us are amazed. Tho medicino has made such progress m our neighbourhood that peoplo say they don't want tho doctor any more, but they take tho 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 m our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was m bed five years with eostiveEeas and rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor m the surrounding districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but every one crossed themselves and said they could not help hor. Whenever tho little bell rang which is rung m our place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, buo Seigel's Syrup and Pills saved her lift and now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even m the fields. Everbody was astonished when they Baw her out, knowing how many years she had been m bed. To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for God's |mercies and Seigel's Syrup." Mama Haas. The people of England speak confirming the above. Aftkb Manx Yeaiis. " Whittle-lo Woods, near Chorley. " December 26th. 1883. "Dear Sir, — Mother Seigel's medicine Bells exceedingly well with us, all that try it Bpeak highly m its favour.
