THIS WILL SETTLE THE QUESTION.

" / dtrCt believe there is a word of truth in, it" That's tbe way certain toohsh people talk when they hear of anything unusual or anything unusual, or outside the limits of their own observation or experience. They are of the sort who laughed at Stepneason when he introiuced tbe railway, and at Morse when he said that we would communicate by means of electricity. Tet they don't 1 ugh at those hmgs now. They make use of them daily. Some months ago ihe c.ise uf Mrs Mary Cuddy was first published. The great public ace -pted the facts, as they bad every reason to do.' Others, a very few (professional men perhaps) pretended to doubt, and sent emissaries to enquire of tbe lady herself whether her allegations had not been added to, or altered, for the sake of popular » ffect. Here is her answer I She repeats what she at fiißt said, and puts a quietus on all who called her words in question. It will be observed that her statement is as plain and solemn as words can make it. [copy.] I, Mary Cuddy, of 28 Catherine street, Bichmond, Leeds, do solemnly and sincerely declare as follows :— Ever since I was a girl I have suffered from illness. I always had a pain both before and after eating, and never seemed able to gain and keep my strength, and felt that something was pulling an down. I had a nasty queer feeling in my stomach. Sometimes food seemed to ease it, and at other times it made me feel worse, and often I went without food, for I was afraid to eat. OomnDnly when food i was placed before me I culd n t touch it, and 1 often f anted at the very sight of it. After a while I bectme so weak I could scarcely s and or walk. I thought it waa consumption comi-g on by degrees, >nd I took all sorts of medicine to try an-i get relief, but it waa of no use, and I got tired of taking physic, for I had lost all faith in it. My business was so urgen' that 1 was compelled to be at work, otherwise I would have laid io bed, so weak nad 1 become. With tbe weakness and loss of appetite th^re wera other feelings and signs tb.it were b*d and alarmed me greatly. Among them were these :—: — A yellowish colour ot 'he ski i and eye j , eomiiiimes a cold clammy perspiration, pains and aches in the sides, the chest, and back, headache, a kind of wind or gas coming up into tny throat and mouth that was so sour and sickening I could scarcely b^ar it. Once in a while I would have a strange flutteriugr and palpitation that made mo thins my heart must be i.ff jcte 1. My hpart would thump so that I feared it would jump out of its place, and I hive had to walk about fur two or three hours dt a time, for I could not sit or lie. The pain was bo severe tbat 1 have a^ked my husband if be could not bear my heart, thumping as I walked about. I always slept baJly at night, and frtquently ha>i horrible dreams, and was so melancholy and depressed in spirits that I would sit down and cry, for I got no pleasure as time dragged wearily by. I had so little energy or strength that it was all I could do to summon courage for the labour upon which tba family (at least in part) depended for support. I am a dressmaker, and it will b^ easily understood how hard my life waa, for I didn't think it would last much longer, Not long ago Cil<iy 1887) I made up my m nd to try a medeoine thst is advertised and known ail over the country. I mean Mother Seigel'a Syrup. I had no faith in it »t first, for how can one believe in what one knows nothing about? I bought and tried Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup only because of its reputation. How could so many people, I asked myself, praise a meiicine s> much if he had no virtue. I can only say i hat I found what they said to be true. After beginning with tbe Syrup, relief soon followed. My food digested better and gave me etre gth, and by persevering with it, all my pains disappeared. I couU eat my food wnh a relish, and everytrnug agreed with me. Now ani again when, through confioement and hard work, I feel a (ouch ot my old complaiut 1 take a rioae or two of Beigel's Syrup and ttte trouble goes no further. Since the publication of my testimonial many persons have called at my house and asked me tf all that is published about my case is true, and if tJie proprietor of SeigeVs by nip had made addition to mij statement j told them all that every word was true and nothing had been, added by the prop r'u tors of the medicine, but I could add a good deal more, lur nu wurus can descube what my suff Tings were miring all ttioeti' long yeirs. I never exp'Cted being well again in this world. SeigePa SyiupsaveJ my life and I desire other suffers to kuow of what did so much tor me. I will gladly answer enquiries. Aud I make this eolemu declaration ouHcienciously believing tbe same to be tiue. by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, (Will. IV., c. 62.) (Signed) Mahy Cuddy. D:clared before me at Leeds, in the County of York, by the said Mary Daddy, on Monday, the 10th day of | August, 1891. y (Signed) Ali\ Cooke, I Mayor of Leeds, J Not a syllable further is needed except to say that her ailment, indigeation »nd dyspepsia, burdens and saddens tbe lives of many other women (and men also), who will read with new hope the outcome of Mrs Cuddy's case, and place a confidence which no cavilling can shake, in the remedy which restored to her the health aod the happiness which Providence designs for us all.
