A WOMAN FROM AUSTRIA.

Near the village of Zilhn^lorf, ia Lower Austrii, lives Maria Haas* an intelligent ani industrious wjtnan, who?e story of physical suffering and final relief, a? related by herself, is of interest to English women. "I was employe 1," she says, "in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork bruught on sick headache, followed by a deathly fainting anl sickness of the stomach, until 1 was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks. Getting a littl-3 better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in my side, which in a little while seemei to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and shortness of breath, until finally I could not sew, and I took to my bed for the second, and, as I thought, for the last tims. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I could not live lunger than when the trees put on thair green once more. Than I happened to get one of the Saigel pamphlets. I read it, and my dear mother bought me a buttle of Ssigel's Syrup, which I took exactly according to direction;), an 1 I had not taken tha waole of it before I felt a great chauge for the bjtter. My la3t illness began June 3, 1882, and continued to August 9, when [ begin to taks the Syrup . Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me. and I was no more troubled in breathing. Now I am perfectly cured. A id, oh, haw happy I ail 1 I cannot express gratitude enough for Seigel's Syrup. Now I must tell you that the doctors ii our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine, telling them it would do them no gooi, and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel pamphlets ; but now wherever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles around our district. People have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it c tred me, and to be sure to get the right kind. I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them there was no help tor her, that she had consultel several doctors, but none could help her. I told her of Seigel's Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she mit*ht make no mistake. She took my advice and thy Syrup, and now shi is in perfect tr'ctlth.aud the people around us are amazed. The melicine has male suih progre33 in our neighbourhood that people say they don't w<int the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout, who were confined to their bed and could hardly move a finger, have- bean cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five jeirs with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had t~> have aa atieuda it to watch by h r. There was not a doctor in the surrounding dis rictd to whom h^r mother had not applied to relieve h<>r child, but. everyone crossed themselves and said they could not help her. Whenever the little bell rang which is [ rung in our pl.tee when homebo ly is dead, we thought surely it was for tier, but Seigel's Syrup and fills saved her life, ani now she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even m the. fields. Everybody was astonished wieti they saw her oui, knowing how many years she had been in bjd. To-day she adds ncr gratitude to mine for God's mercies and Siegel's Syrup, " Mahia Ha W The people of England speak confirming the above.
