MRS CALAP GOES TO SEE MRS MILLS.

And it was not for an hour'- chat over i cup of tea that she went to «e<i her, but on a much more serious matter. For Mrs Hills bad been quoted in tbe Dewspapers as bavin* said something «vhich migbt be of importance to Mrs Oalap, and also to otheis. flow the nswspspeis print so many things that nobody can make* head or tail of, that Mrs Calap thought the only sure way was to go and pee Mrs Mills anl ask her if it was true what was said. What Mrs Mills told her is contained in the annexed statement made about a year aftei wards . "I, Jane (.Jalap, of 3, Vincent Stree>, York Road, Leeds, do solemnly and sincerely declare as fallows : — "In ihe early p Jr t of N .vember, 1887, I fell into a low, weak state. I was tired, languid and weary and felt as if something had come over me. All my bones ached and I had si much pain that I did not know wbere to prt myself. I was constantly vomiting sometimes a green, bitter fluid came away, at other times f-othy water. I had •» dull, heavy pain at the right side, the whites of my eyes were a yellow colour, and mv j-kin was sallow as if I had the jaundice. I Had an awful taste in the mouth, my tongue and teeth being covered with slime so thick that I bad to scrape it awny. My appetite fell away, and after eating the simplest and lightest food I had so much pain that it nearly killed mp. I had always great pain and weight at my chest and through to my back, also a gnawing sinking sensation at the pit of my stomach. I was greatly troubled with wind which rolled all over me, and gave me so much pain it was like spasms, for I could not straighten my*elf. I gradually got weaker and weaker, and felt bo weak and exhausted that I could scarcely drag myself along. As time went on I wasted away until I got as thin as a match, and coald barely walk across the floor. 1 felt so downhearted that I used to say 1 sha.l never pet better any more in this world. I took all sorts of medicines, but finding myself getting wor6« I got a recommendation to ihe Leeds Infirmary, where I was atteuded to by several doctors, who gave me medicines which I took month after month, but I got bo betier. The doc* tors sounded my chest and lungs, and seemed pnzzltd with my sufferings, for they frequently changed my medicine. Getting no better I next went to the Dispensary in North street, and persevered taking tbeir medicines, but it was all to no purpose. I now gave np taking physic for I had lost all faith in it, and my sufferings continued urtil January, 1891, when I heard a neighbour of mioe, Mrs Ann Mill*, 40, Bread street, having been cmed (after the dectors had given her up) by a medicine called Mother Seed's Curative Syrup. I went with my daughter to f>ee Mrs Mills, who told me that Seigel's Iryiup tad saved her life, and would do me pond. I got a bottle of tbe medicine, and after t.king a few doses I fe)t relief. I continued with the Syrup, and after taking three bofUs all the pain left me, tny food agreed with me and I gradually gained strength. I can now take tny kind (f food and oever feel any dis-ress and am as strong as ever I was. After my recovery a lady customer of mine said \o me, ' Mib Calap, whatever have you been takinp, for you do look so well.' 1 told her, as 1 tell everyonp, that Beigel'u Syrup h s made me a new womir, and but for it I should not be alive. I wish others to know of the benefit I have derived from the medicine, and 1 give full permission to the proprietors to u«*e this statement »s they may think fit, and I make this solemn decoration cooscientiously believiug the same to bd true. By virtue of th* provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1835 (Will. IV. c. 62." " Declared before me at Leeds thip] "25th day of January, 1892. ( (Figned) " (Signer!) ALF COOKE J.P. I* JJ A NX CALAP. "Ex Mayor of Leedi," j The pub ie miy remember the account of Mrs Mills' illness and recovery, published some time ago. We are glad that Mrs Calap heard of it and went straight to thai lady herself tor the information she wanted. The visit resulted just as might bave ben expected. Both our good fiiends had suffered from the some disease, indigestion hud dyspepsia, and the remedy which cured in the first cas« was equally successful in th it of her neighbour. No wonder Mrs Caiap had lost^ all faith in physic, and is Mother Seigel's fc?yrup were '•physic." we ebo u id not look for people to have fai hin it either. But it is a remedy, not "physic" It doisn't upeet and digust.it sooths s and heal 8 , Mt-n fall ill, to re sure, but ivomen bear moet of tbe pain in ibj 8 ear | w orld, and whfn once acquamed they and 'Mother Seigel are < ever » the best of fritnds,' like Joe and Pifs in Dickens' story.
