THE PRINCE OF WALES SPEAKS ON HEALTH.

In bis able and timely remarks at the opening of tbe International Congress at Hygiene, at St James's Hall, London, August 10th, 1891, tbe president, the Prince of Wales, said :—" The highest possible prosperity is when rich and poor alike can do such useful ■work at they are fit for, and to this end it is essential that they should enjoy the best possible health and vigour." Very tr»e, but how can the pnblic health [be best promoted ? Clearly by such preventive measures as tbe Congress meets to consider, and by reliable remedies so long as certain diseases continue to prevail. We submit an example of the later necessity in the form of a statement which cannot fail to convince tbe minds of all who may read it. [COPY] I, Margaret Morland, of Throstle Nest Farm, Haya Park, near Knaresboro , Yorkshire, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows :— •'I have suffered all my life from a weak stomach.indigestion, and liver complaint. I was never properly well, but always ailing and never seemed to gain strength. I bad a bad taste in the mouth and a strange sinking feeling at the pit of my stomach. I bad always pain after eating, no matter how simple the food was. my appetite was poor and what little I ate did not seem to give me strength. I bad pain at the chest and sides and felt as if I was held or bound round, my waist. I waß much troubled with sickness and very often found no ease until I vomited all the food I had taken. I felt low weak and depressed, as if something was hanging over me, I could not elaep at nigbt, 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 worse tired than when I went to bed. As years went on I became a bad colour, my ski a and particularly the whites of my eyes were tinged sf a yellowish colour, and at times I was as yellow a« a sovereign. In August, 1880, my stomach became very irritable and everything that I took turned sour on my stomach, 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 it my poor inside wculd comt out. Tbe pain at my heart now became so severe that I became alarmed and sent for our doctor, who attended me for tea or twelve weeks, but all the medicine be 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 bad dreadful pain in the back and could not void my water. My skin was dry and hot, my lips parch ad and feverish. After a time the water lodged so bad that I thought I should have died. I grew weaker and weaker every day, and felt tbat if a change did not soon taka place my condition would be critical, for the pain was more than I could bear. I could not even bide to lie in bed, and bad to get out of bed and walk about tbe room. I took all kinds of medicines but nothing gave me more than temporary relief, and I dragged on in this miserable state until December, 1888, when Mr Day, the chemist, at Knaresboro', sent me a book telling of a medicine called Mother Sei gel's Curative Syrup, and I read cf a case similar to mine having been curred by this medicine. I determined to try it, and sent to Mr Day and procured a large bottle of the Syrup and commenced taking it. I soon began to find relief, my food digested better and gave me strength, all pains in 107 back and eides left me. I could now sleep better and gradually gained strength every day, and by the time I had taken a 4s 6d bottle I was better thau ever I was in my life, and by taking an occasional dose I have eince kept in good health. 1 may mention tbat 1 paid over six pounds to one doctor and did not receive any benefit whatever. 1 feel very grateful for the great benefit I have received from Seigel's Syrup, and I wish others to know it. I have recommended tbe medicine to many people in this district with great benefit. My daughter. Mrs Ware, living at York, vias cured of Bevere dyspepsia after every other means had failed. If by publishing this statement others may be benefited I shall be glad, and I hereby give permission to the proprietors of Seigel's Sjrup to make any use they may think fit of this 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). Declared before me at Leeds, in the county of") York, by the said Margaret Morland, on Mon-f ,0. ,;>> day, the 10th of August, 1891. \to <*^ d > laßd (Signed) Alf Cook, ( Mar S aret Morland. Mayor of Leeds, J 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 years, and in the district all his life. He was present at Leeds when the foregoing declara- ion by his wife was read, and vouched for its accuracy and truth. Mrs Morland's malady, indigestion and dyspepsia, is sufficiently common and fatal to make it a duty to give the widest publicity to any remedy that will cure it. Henca our mention of toe above case in connection with tbe work of the society of which his Boyal Highnesss is President.
