IT RECALLS THE BLIZZARD.

In March, 1888, the great blizzard in America almost extinguished the city of New York. Tbe like of it was never before seen. The snow completely stopped all local traffic. Not a horse or a wheel could move. All the telegraph lines leading into the citj were prostrated, and fox two or three days the people of Boston and New York communicated by each other by way of London by meaoi of the Atlantic cables. Thus messages intended for persona three hundred miles diatant were Bent six tbonaand miles, crossing the ocean twice.

An incident which recalls this experience to the writer's mind happened a short time ago here in England. Suppose we let the gentleman interested tell his own story . He Bays . " I have suffered more or less from indigestion and dyspepsia all my life. I had a bad taste in the mouth, pain after eating, a poor appetite and aour stomach. My tongue was coated, and my mouth constantly filled with a watery fluid. No matter what I ate, however light, it disagreed with me and gave me pain. I had fullness of the cheat, and pain at my side, witn a miserable, low, dull feeling. From time to time I consulted a doctor who gave me medicines, but they did very little good. The doctor said that the coating of my stomach was disordered, and the mucous membrane was in limed. In 1877 I received a pamphlet from New York telling of a medicine called Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup, and of extraordinary cures it had effected, si I procured a Bupply, and after taking the first I felt better, and by the time I had taken four bottles more, I was completely cured, aud have been in good health, as regards the indigestion, ever since. Having studie-1 the practice of herbs for many jears, I was in the habit of treating people for erysipelas and other complaints, and was frequently consulted by people in tbe district, so aft-jr my remarkable cure, I was so impressed with the merits of Seigel's Syrup, that 1 procured a large enpply of the medicine, and recommended it to all who were suffering, and people came from far aud near for it. I may mention that on a Sunday my house was beseiged by miners from Coal Pit Heath, and others from a distance. On every nand 1 heard notning but tbe loudeat praise, and of the cures it effected, and the fame of this medicine was epread throughout the Wesc of England with no other advertising than one paity tellug another of the benefit they had derived from this wonderful medicine. I wish everyone to know of this, and if by publishing this (statement it will help others who may be suffering as I was, it will afford me pleasure." The letter from which the foregoing is an extract is signed Moses Goodwin, Old Sodbury (Sadbuiy), Glos, and ia dated April 9th, 1891. He is a farmer.

The readers will notice that while the headquarters of the Bale of Mother Seigd's Syrup is universally k^own to in bo London, by a strange chance Mr. Goodwin's first information concerning it came from Amenci, three thousand miles away, which recalls the incident of the American blizzard above narrated, and also shows that the fame and usefulness of this medicine extends to all civilised countries. Mr Beniamin Kdgertoo, grocer and provision dealer, Plat Lane, Whixall, Wmtcourch, Salop, says : " While living with Mr Roberts, Feuewood Farm, I fiiat began to teel a dull heavy weight at aiy side, and noticed a bad t»9te in the mouth with foul stomach sod unc^mfortible feeling aft.r eating. I had no appetite, and when I sat down to the table 1 could not touch the food. I had a good deal of pain and noise in the head, and could not sleep for it. I was not fie lor heavy work, and could only do light jobs about the farm. After cutting a hedge I wouid go quite faint, and had to sit down, and felt so much depressed I could have cried. Having always been each a strong man I ook a b-idly to be reduced to such a weak state. I took all kinds of physic and saw a doctor, but hia medicine only e<i*ed mo tor a bit, and tueu I was worse than before. I went on in tbia way for over a year, when a servant that came to live with Mr Robert b told m.- of a medicine callpd Mother Seigel's Syrup. She bad heard a gentleman talking about it in the railway carriage, and he praised it so much that I thought I would try it. After I had taken two bottles my food did me good, and I gained atrengtl, and by persevering with the syrup I soon got as strong as ever, and have never ailed anything since."
