THE NEWS FROM ABROAD.
“It is about ten years ago,” says Mrs Gray, “that I became acquainted with Seigel’s Syrup—a time when I greatly needed someining having healing virtue in it. "A cousin of mine in the Old Country (near- London) had for years been a perfect martyr to indigestion. His trouble was principally a violent colic, from torpid stomach and liver.
“After years of almost hopeless suffering he finally discovered in Seigel’s Syrup a perfect remedy. I presume he first came to know of it through reading some kind of advertisements. It does not matter.
“As I always keep up a regular correspondence with my relatives they were aware of the dreadful condition I was in with indigestion. “Naturally they lost no time in letting me know of my cousin’s marvellous recovery—after he had vainly expended a deal of money in feeing doctors and so forth.
“They said Mother Seigel’s Syrup alone had restored his health, and strongly urged me to try it. “You may hardly believe it, but I was so opposed to all advertised medicines that I used them with great reluctance and entire want of confidence. Nevertheless I had already tried such of them as I, or my friends, could think of, without any tangible or permanent benefit. “I suffered from violent pains across my stomach and under the shoulder blades, a bitter and disgusting taste in the mouth, want of sleep, languor and weariness, and all the evils and ailments, bodily and mental, which seem part and parcel of that common and abominable malady. “Finally, under the strong importunity of a friend, I was Induced to try a dose of Seigel’s Syrup. I wish to state emphatically that even so small a quantity gave me immediate relief, and after I had used it for a time, regularly and according to the directions, I was gradually and surely restored to my usual good health. 1 now believe in this famous remedy for the best of reasons—my experience of its merits. I never cease praising it to my friends, and always keep It, in file house vgainst the time, when it may be needed.
“I feel grateful for what Mother fiefgel has done for me; and if you desire to publish my statement for the good of others you have mw free permission so to do.”—Jane M. J4I. Gray, Ave Maria Cottage, Aubu'u, Sydney, N.W.S. October 4, 1899.
