THE PRINCE OF WALES SPEAKS ON HEALTH.

In his able and timely remarks at the opening of the International Congress of Hygiene, at St. Jame's Hall, London, August 10th, 1891, the President, the [Prince of Waleß, arid:— "The highest

possible prosperity is when rich aud poor alike can do such useful work as they are fit for, and to this end it is essential that they should enjoy the best possible health and vigour." Very true, but how can the public health be beat promoted ? Clearly by such pre ventire measures as the Congress meets to consider, and by reliable remedies bo long as certain diseases continue to prevail. We submit an example of the latter necessity in the form of a statement which cannot fail to convince the minds of all who may read it. [copy] I, Mars»i>r t Morland, of Thros'le JNeat j Farm, Haya Park, near Kuaresboro', | Yorkshire, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows :—: — " I have suffered all my life from a weak stomach, indigestion, and liver complaint. I whs never properly well but always ailing and never seemed to gain strength. I had a bad taste in the mouth and a strangesinking feeling at the pit of my stomach. I had always pain after eating, no matter how simple the fed wss. My appetite waa poor and what little I ate did not seem to give me strength. 1 had great pains at the chest and sides and felt as if I was held or bound round my waist. I was much troubled with sickness and very often found no ease until I had vomited all the food I had taken. I felt low, weak, and depressed, aB if something was hanging over me. f could not sleep at night, and got so bad that I even dreaded going to bed, for I would lie awake for hours together, and on rising in the morning I felt more tirad than w.hen I went tn bed. As years went on I became a bad colour, my skin and particularly the whites of my eyes were tinged of a yellowish colour, aud at times I was as yellow as a sovereign. In Augußt, 1880, nay stomach became very irritable and everything that I took turned sour on my stomaoh, and I was constantly vomiting a foul bitter fluid or gas. I took little or no nourishment, and after each morsel of even liquid food I strained and vomited as if ray poor inside would come out. The pain at my heart now became so severe that I became alarmed and sent for our doctot, who attended me for ten or t welve weeks, butu t all ihe medicine he gave me did no good. The doctor seemed puzzled with my complaint and changed the medicine over and over again, but still I got worse instead of better. At last I lost all faith in physic and gave up taking it. Now better, now worse, I continued until July, | 1888, when my kidneys became affected. I had dreadful pain in the back and could not void my water. My skin waa dry and hot, my lips parched and feverish. Af'er a time the water lodged so bad that I thought 1 should have died. I grew weaker and weaker every day, and felt that If a change did uot soon take place my condition would be critical, for the pain waa more than I could bear. 1 could not even bide to lie in bed, and had to get out of bed and walk round the room. I took all kinds of medicines but nothing aave me more than temporory relief, and I dragged on in this miserable state until December, 1888, when Mr Day, the chemist, at E.naresboro', sent me a book telling of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and 1 read of a case similar to mine having been cured by this medicine, i determined to try it, and sent to Mr Day and procured a large bottle of the Syrup and commenced faking it. 1 soon began to find relief, my food digested better and gave me strength, all pains in my back and sides left me. I could now sleep better and gradually gained strength every day, and by the time T had taken a 4s 6d bottle I was better than ever I was in my life, and by taking an occasional dose I have since kept in good health. I may mention that I paid over six pounds to one doctor and did not receive any benefit whatever. I feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received from Seigel's Syrup, and ] wish others to know of it. I have recommended the medicine to many people in this district with great benefit. My daughter, Mrs Ware, living at York, was cured of severe dyspepsia after every other means had failed. If by publishing this state ment others may be benefited I shall be very glad, and I hereby give permission to the proprietors of Seigel's Syrup to make any use they may think fit of thia testimonial, and I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true. By virtue of the Provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1835. (William iv. c. 62.) Mr William Morland, the husband of this lady, is a farmer, well known and highly respected. He has lived on his present farm at Throstle Nest, Haya Park, seventeen yearß, and in the district all his life. He was present at Leeds when the fore-going declaration by his wife was read, and vouched fur its accuracy and truth. Mrs Morland's malady, indigestion and I dyspepsia, is sufficiently common and fatal to make it a duty to give the widest publicity to any remedy that will cure it. Hence our mention of the above case in connection with the work of the society of which His Royal Highness is President.
