"THEY DROPPED OFF— POISONED BY MY BLOOD."

There is more or less of an impression upon the rniDda of some people that statements as to the-merits and effects of popular medicines sboul'' be received with a degree of allowance Ihat is to Bjy, peoplfl are apt to think the proprietors of these articles often enlarge upon and exaggerate thn real far-U m order to create a demand for what they hare to sell. Wo urp inclined to believe this is seldom the case, us the intelligent parsons who own these modicinpi are aware that any eort of over-stafo-mint tends to injure their saloa rather than increase thorn. The public are sure to for.n a corrfct judgment;, as to the value of au a'lverti»ed vrlicle,and any false claims for it are j certain to be ree gnised and denounced Honesty i 3 the best policy m this as m all other cases. Therefore tbo reader need not hesitate to accept as true any announcements of which the following is an example. [COPY.] "I, Ihirza Daniels, of Wrafton, nr. Barnstaple, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows :-■• " I was always a strong, healthy woman up to'the early part of 1879, when I began to be troubeld with my liver and stomach. In July of that year I took a chill from nit'ng on wet grass, and thiß'brought on sciatica and rheumatism. I bad dreadful pain m my hips and legs; it was like knives cutting through me. My appetite left me, and what little I did eat gave me great pain m the stomach and cheat. I had a taste m my mouth and pain 3 m tha Bides and between the shoulders. Finally I (jot oo bad I ha<! to bring home my eldest daughter from strvice to look after the house and children. For several months I wont on m this way. At first I doctored myself, rubbing my joints with a rubbing bottle and poulticing. Then I sent for the doctor and he said my blood was poisoned. He blistered me and gave me medicine. I was under his care for five mouth 3, hut I got wo»k»r all the time and went thin bs a skeleton. Tee pain whilst m bed was very severe, I could ncarcely bear it ; and I turned and turned and could not find an easy place. Sometimes I wus lifted to the floor, and lay there to eeo if any easo could bo got. I becamo so bad I aent for a doctor from Braunton, but as I got no better, my husband got a recommendation from tha late Colonel Harding, of (Jpcott, and I attended at the dispensary at Barnstaple four^months, and then went bb an indoor patient m the Barnstaple infirmary, and was treated By tw> dootors. Thej agreed it was blood poisoning and talkod of performing an operation on my thigh, but concluded not to do it, saying I was too weak. Thoy blistered me aj>ain, and no relief from this they applied loeches, but ns.fnst as the lueches wore put on they dropped off, poisoned by my blood I woo io low-spirited m the hospital that T felt if I did not get homo I dhnuld die soon, bo they made arrangements to take me away. When I got m tho open nir my somes left, me, and they thought I wa? dying. After reaching home I was m great BRony, and Bent my huoban'l for our doctor. He said ho would come, but it was of do uso, as he could do no more than he had done. I lay for weeks, and was so bad that when people spoke to me I bad not the strength to reply. At this time my nephew, Robort TJaniola, of Pontypricld, sent us word to try Mother feeigel'a Curative Byrup, as it had worked wonderful cures m the district whore ho lived. So my husband wont to Mr Farley's the grocer, High Btreat, Barnntnplo, and bought a bottle. Bofora I had taken all of the bottle I could eat, and my food Boumed to do mo good. By degrees I j;ot stronger and stronger, and after

taking fourteen bottlo3 I -was Btrong and healthy. My flesh eume on, and all pain left my thigh and legs, and I have never ailed anything to spoak of since. I thank God for making Seigel's Syrup known to me. I owe my Hfo to it, and I wish others to know what I say. I consider it tha Lord's doing, and I will be clad to answer any inquiries.
