IT RECALLS THE BLIZZARD.

In March, 1888, the great blizzard in America almost ex. tmguished the city of New York. The like of it was never before seen. The snow completely stopped all local traffic. Not a hona or a wheel could move. All the telegraph lines leading into the eitv were prostrated, and foi two or three days the people of Boston and AT T f ? oopnwntetted by each other by way of London by means of the Atlantic cables. Tboj messages intended for persons three hundred miles distant were sent six thousand miles, crossing tha ocean twice. **ui»iij K mo

An incident which recalls this experience to the writer's mind happened a short time ago here in Bngland. Suppose we let th« gentleman interested tell his own atorj. He says . •• I have sufered 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 sour stomach. My tongue was coated, and mj mouth constantly filled with a watery fluid. No matter what I ate, however light, it d£. agreed with me and gave me pain. I bad fullness of the chest, and pain at my side, with 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 inlamed. In 1877 I received a pamphlet from New York telling of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and of extraordinary cures it hid effected, so I procured a supply, and after taking the first I felt better, and by the time I had taken four bottles more, I was completely cur«d, and have been in good health, as regards tha indigestion, ever Bince. Having studied the practice of herbs for many jears, I was in the habit of treating people for erysipelas and other complaints, and waa frequently consulted by people in the distnct, so after my remarkable cure, I was so impressed with tha merits of Seigel's Syrup, that I procured a large supply of th& medicine, and recommended it to all who were suffering, and DeoDla came from far and near for it. I may mention that on a Sunday mr bouse was beseiged by miners from Coal Pit Heath, and others from a distance. On every hand I heard nothing but the loudest praisT and of the cures it effected, and the fame of this medicine wai spread throughout the West of England with no other advertising than one paity telling another of the benefit they had derived from this wonderful medicine. I wi B h everyone to know of this, and if by publishing thia statement it will help others wuo may be suffering as I was, it will afford me pleasure."

m »J he a re * dd M rr t wlll ?otlc?? otlc ? that whlle the headquarters of the sale of Mother SeigeraSvrapia universally kuown tom be London, by astranee chance Mr. Goodwin's first information concerning it came from America, three thousand milea away, which recalls the incident of the American blizzard above narrated, and also shows that the fama and usefulness of this medicine extends to all civilised countries Mr Beniamin Edgerton, grocer and provision dealer. Plat Lan« Whixall Wbitcburcb, Salop, says : « While living with Mr Bobt rr ° B f Fenswood Farm, I firat began to feel a dull heavy weight at iy ride and noticed a bad taste in the mouth with foul stomach and uncomfortable feeling after eating. I had no appetite, and when I sat down to the table I could not touch the food. I had a Rood l deal 5 pain and noise in the head, and could not sleep for it. I was not <X for heavy work, and could only do light jobs about tbs farm. After cutting a hedge I would go quite faint, and had to sit down, and felt so much depressed I could have cried. Having always been such a strong man I took it badly to be reduced to such a weak state r took all kinds of physic and saw a doctor, but his medicine only eased me for a bit, and then I was worse than before. I went on ij this way for over a year, when a Bervant that came to live with Mr Bober.e told me of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Syr™ She had 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 h*rt token two bottles my food did me good, and I gained strengtf , and by persevering with the syrup I soon got as strong as ever, and hay. never ailed anything aince." 8 ' a nav *
