" THEY DROPPED OFF— POISONED BY MY BLOOD."

There is more or less ot an impression upon the minds •» some people that statements a! to the merit »ad effects of popular medicines ehoulH be received with a degree of allowance That is to say, people are apt to think the proprietors of these articles often enlarge upon and exaggerate tho real facts in order to create a demaß-l for what they have to sell. We urf inclined U> believe this is seldom the case, us th« intelligent parsons who own those medicines are aware that any sort of over-atato rocnt tends to injure their salea rather thar increase them. . The public are sure to forn a correct judgment as to the value of an ad vertised irticle, and any false claims for it art certain to be rec -gnised and denounced Honesty is the best policy in this as in al other canes. Therefore tho reader need not hesitate t( accept as true any announcements of w'uicl the following is an example. [COPY.] " I, Thirza Daniels, of Wrafton, nr. Barn ttiipSe. do solemnly and sincerely declare a follows : - " I was always a strong, healthy woman U] to the early part of 1879, when I began to b troubeld witb my liver and Btomach. Ii July tf that year I took a chill from sittin; <jn wot grass, and thisjbrought on sciatica am rheumatism. I had dreadful pain in m; hips and legß j it was like knives cuttinj through me. My appetite left me, and whu iitlle I did eat gave me great pain in tin etomaeb and cheat. I had a taate in mj mouth and pains in the sides and between thi ebouldera. Finally I got so bad I bad t< bring home my eldest daughter from servici to took after" the house and children. Foi several months I went on in this way At first I doctored myself, rubbinj my jaiats with a rubbing bottle aac poulticing. Thenlsontfor the doctor anc he said my blood «ae poisoned. He blist?rec me and gave me medicine. I was undor hii care for five months, but I got weak°r all th< time and went thin os a skeleton. The poir whiht in bed was very severe, I could scarcely bear it ; and I turned and turned and coult not 6nd an eaay piaie. Sometimes I wa 1 lifted to the floor, and lay there to see if anj ease could be got. I became so bad I eoi; for a doctor from Braunton, but as I got n< better, my husband got a recommendatioi from the late Colonel Harding, of Upcott and I attended at the dispensary at Barn staple four months, and then wsnt as ar indoor patieat in the Barnstaple infirmary and was treated by two doctors. They aareec it wa3 blood poisoning and talked of performing an operation on my tbigh, but concluded not to do it, saying I was too weak. Thej blistered me again, and no relief from thii they applied leeches, but as fast as the leechef were put on they dropped off, poisoned bj my blood I was so low-spirited in thf hospital that T felt if I did not get homo 1 should die soon, so they made arrangement! to take me away. When I got in the opet air my senses left me, and they thought I wa< dying. After reaching home I was in greal agony, and sent my husband for our doctor He said he would come, but it was of no use as he could do no more than he had done. 1 lay for weeks, and was so bad that wher people spoke to mo I had not tho strength tc reply. At this time my nephew, Roberl Daniels, of Pontypridd, apnt us word to trj Mother Keigel's Curative Syrup, ns it bad worked wonderful cures in the district where he lived. So my husband wont to Mr Farley's the grocer, High Street, Barn»tiiple, ana bought a bottle. Before I had taken all o: the bottle I could eat, and my foot! Benmed to do me good. By degroes ] got stronger and stronger, and aftei taking fourteen bottloß I was strong and healthy. My flesh cimo on, and all pain lefl my tbigh and legs, and I have never ailed anything to epeak of since. I thank God foi making Beigel's Syrup known to me. .1 owe my life to it, and I wiah others to know whal I aay. I consider it the Lord's doing, and 1 will be elad to answer any inquiries. "And I make this solemn declaration, con Bcientiously believing the same to bo truo, bi virtue of provisions of the Statutory Declara tion Act, 1835 (5 and 6 William IV., c. 62). " (Signed,) ThibzA Daniels.
