"THEY DROPPED OFF— POISONED BY MY BLOOD."

There is more or leas of an impression upon _c miodf <» some people that statements as to the merit ud effects of popular medioines should be received with a digreeof allowanoo. That is to say, people are apt to think tbe proprietors of these arlii'. >* often enlarge upon and exs lterate the reol I. m order to create a demau' *-v whattho;- hay. •• =<ell. Wearn inclined to uo iero this i-> seldom the case, as the intelligent persons who own these medicines are aware that ;i y sort of over-state-ment tends to injure tlieir sales rather than increase them. Tho p-i.lio are sure to form a correct judgment as to the value of an advertised article, and any false claims for it are certain to be recognised and denounced. Honeaty is the best policy m this as m all other cases. Therefore tbe reader need not hesitate to accept as true any announcements of whioh the following is an example. [copy.! " I, Thiiza Daniels, of Wrafton, nr. Barnstaple, do eolomnly and sinoerely declare aa follows : — " I was alwaya a strong, hea hy woman ap to the early part of 1879, when I began to be troubeld with my liver and Btomacb. In July of that year I took a chill from sitting en wet grass, and this brought on sciatica und rheumatism. I bad dreadful pain m my hips nnd legs ; it was like knives cutting through me. My appetite loft me, and what little I did eat gave me great pain m the stomach and cheat. I had a taste m my mouth and pains io the sides and between tbe shouluei-a. Finally I got so bad I had lo bring home n.y e'.deßt daughter from service to look after the house and children. For several months I went on m tbis way. At first I doctored myself, rubbing my joints with a rubbing bottle -nd poulticiDg Then I sent for tho doctor and he said my blood wob poisoned. He blistered me and gave me medicine. I was under his cure fur five month*, but I got «-«__-r all tiie time and went ihin ns a skeleton. Tho pain whilst m bed was verj severe, I could scarcely bear it ; and I turned and turned and could not find an easy place, t-'onn'timca 1 was lifted to the floor, and lay there lo see if any ea«e could be got. 1 became to bod I sent for a doctor from Braunton, but. as I got no better, my husband got ;i recommendation from the late Coluuc! Hai-ding, pf Upcott, and I attended at the dispensary at Burnstaple four months, and then went- i>b an indoor patient m the Barnstaple infirmary, snd was treated by twn doctors. Tbey agreed it was blood poisoning and talked of performing »n operation on my thigh, but concluded not to do it, oayin;; I was too weak. Tbey blistered me a&ain, and n" relief from thm tbey applied leeches, but at fast as ll;e K-echos wore put on they dropped off, poisoned by my biood I wa? ao low-spirited m lh» huspit-d that T felt if I did not get borne I should dio soon, so they made arrangements to take me away. When I got m mo ipen air my sen»o* lef < rr.e, and they thought I wai dying. After reaching home I was m great agaoy, aud sent my husband for onr doctor. He said hn would con p. but il waa of no u«e, ns he could do no moro than he bad done. I lay for weeks, and -as so bad thai whon people spoke to mc I had not, the strength lo reply. At this time my nr-plmw, Robert I _i:irlg, of Pontypridd, aent us word lo try Mother ioigol's Curative tfjrup, u« it bad worked wonderful cures m the district whero he lived. So my hu band went to Mr Farb-y's tho grocer. High Street, B-rn*t-ple, and bought a bottle. Before I had taken all o! ths bottle I could eat. ond my food teemed _o dp me good. By degrees I got stronger and stronger, and after taking fourteen bottles I pas strong and healthy. My flesh cime on, and all p-io left my thigh and legs, and I havo never oibd anything to speak of since. _ thank God for mating Seigel'e Syrup known to me. I owe my life to it, and I wish othcra to know what I say. I consider it iho Lord's doing, and 1 will be glad to answer any inquiries. *' And I make tbi» solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the came to be true, by virtue vi provisions of tbe Statutory Declaration Act, 1835 (5 end 6 William IV., c. 62).
