NO BUILDING BIG ENOUGH.

Probably the two women whose names we are about to mention (by their good will aDd consent) never saw or even heard of each other. A broad bit of sea- water rolls between the places where they severally live. Still, the world is getting smaller every day and it is quite possible they may meet ; if they do they will have a common subject for a talk. Without waiting for that, however, we will let the reader into the secret (so far as it is a secret) right on the spot. The first lady to be named resides at Bishop's Norton, near Kirton, Lindsey, Lincolnshire, and in a letter dated the 16th of the blustering month of March, 1893, she says, ' / trembled from head t<\ foot' This would scarcely be worth mentioning if it had been simply the result of a fright and therefore bound to pass off in a fewminutes. But it lasted for a long time and did not arise from a fright or any other form of excitement. It meant sheer weakness and a wholesale upsetting of the nerves. ' I was constantly sick and dizzj,' she says, ' and had a dull pain between the shoulders. I had no appetite, and the effect of what little I did eat was so bad and gave me so much distress that after a time I hardly dared touch any food or drink. DuriDg this period I may just mention that I was terribly constipated, intervals of ten days sometimes elapsing between the actions of the bowels. No laxatives or enemas availed to relieve this condition, and I became more feeble and prostrated day by day. My illness began in August, 1892, and after four months' suffering I was completely cured in December by your remedy. Indeed, it was not necessary for me to take quite a bottle. If anyone who reads this little statement of mine wishes to know more about my case, I will gladly answer inquiries. (Signed) Mrs M. G-. Walsham.' The second lady writes from her home, No. 12, Horgan's Buildings, College»road, Cork, dating her letter the 27th of the sunny month of June, 1893. She says, 'Everything was a trouble and a burden. For nights together I got no sleep. I couldn't bear the noise of the children. I had no desire for company ; I wanted to be alone in my misery. I often thought I was going to die. I was in this way for nearly twelve months.' Now. this was bad ; very, very bad. When a woman cannot bear the noise of her own -children— which of all noises is least observed by a mother's ear— why, her nerves are, as we might say all gone to pieces. Aud, inasmuch as tho nerves are only a part of the body, it follows that the whole system is badly out oforder. Aud so it was. ' The complaint,' she says. ' came on in October, 1890.' It was marked by failure of the appetite, pain and weight in the chest after eating, a sinking feeling at the pit of the stomach, biliousness, flatulency, and other signs with which the readers of these articles are so sadly familiar. Of the progress of the malady and how low it reduced her she has already spoken. The end of it all— a happy end, thank Mercy —was like this : 'In September, 1891,' she adds, 'my husband persuaded me to try a mcdi me he had heard and read so much about. I did so, and soon found relie''— a relief that none of the other medicines I had used were able to give me. My lost appetite came back, and my food digested easily and strengthened me. You hardly need be told that I continued taking the medicine, and soon I was well as ever I was in my life, and have ailed nothing since Yours truly (Signed) Mrs. Lucy Carroll.' Women, like men, never agree on all the topics which come up in conversation. It would be a dull world if they did. But these two will agree that they were afflicted with the same complaint indigestion and dyspepsia ; and that Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup which restored them both to health, is one of the very best friends' in time of trouble that their sex ever had. And what is more, if all the women in this kingdom who think the same were collected in one meeting, no building could be found big enough to accommodate them.
