don't believe there in a word of truth in it."
That's the way certain foolish people talk when they hear of anything unusual, or outside the limits of their own observation or experience, They are of the sort who laughed at Stephenson when he introduced the railway, and at Morse when he said that we could com: municate by means of electricity, Yet they don't laugh at those things now. They make use of them daily.
Some months ago the case of Mrs. Mary Cuddy wus first published. The great public accepted the facts, as they had every reason todo, Others, a very few (professional men perhaps) pretended to doubt, and sent emis-Saries to inquire of the lady herself whether her alle tions had not been added to, or for the sake of popular effect.
Here is her answer! She repeats what she id, and puts @ guielue on all who called her words in question. It will be observed that her statement is as plain and solemn as language can make it.
Richmond Road,' Leeds' do solemnly sad I, Mary Cuday, of 28, Catherine Street,
sincerely declare'as follo Ever since I was a girl I have suffered from illness, I always had a pain both before and after cating, and never seemed able to gai and keep my strength, and felt that somethin was pull ing me down. Iliad 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. Commonly when food was placed before me I could not touch it, and I often fainted at the very sight of it.
a while I became so weak I could rely stand or walk. I thought it was consumption coming on by degrees and I took all sorts of medicines to try and get relief, but it was of no use, und I got tired of taking physic for T tad lost, all fulth in usiners was so urgent that I was compelled to be at work, otherwise I would have laid in bed, 40 weak had I become. With the weakness and loss of appetite there were other feelings and signs that were bad and alarmed greatly, Among them were these:—A yellowish colour of the skin and eyes, sometimes a cold clammy perspiration, pains and aches in the sides, the chest and back, headache, a kind of wind or gas coming up into my throat and mouth that was so sour and sickening I could scarcely bear it. Quce in a while I would have a strange fluttering and palpitation that. made me think my heart must be affected." My heart would thump so that I feared it would jump out of its place, and I have had to walk about the room for two or three hours at a time, for I could not ait or lie. The pain was so severe that I have asked my husband if he could not hear my heart thumping as I walked about. I always slept badly at night, and frequently had hor-title dreams, and was 20 melancholy and depressed in spirits that I would sit down and cry, for I got no pleasure as time dragged wearily by. I kad so little energy or strength that it was all I could do to summon courage for the labour upon which the family (at least maker, apd it will be easily understood how in part) depended for support. I um a dress: hard my life was, for I didn't think it would last much longer. Not long ago (May, 18%7) made up my mind to try a medicine that is advertised and known all over the country. T mean Mother Seizel's Curative Syrup. Thad no faith in it at first, for how can one believe in what one knows nothing about? I bought and tried Mother Seigel's Carative Syrup only because of its reputation. How cou! so many people, I asked myself, praise medicine so much ift had no virtue? I'can only say that I found what they said to be true. After beginning with the Syrup, relief soon followed. My food digested better and gave me strength, and by persevering with it all my pains disappeared. I could eat my food with a relish, and everything agreed with me. Now and again when, through confinement and hard work, I feel a touch of my old complaint I take a dose or two of igel's Syrup and the trouble goes no further.
ince the "publication of my testimonial many persons have called at my house and asked me Uf all that is published about my case ix true, and ifthe Proprietors of Seigel's Syrup had made additions to my statement.
told them all that every word was true and. nothing had been added by the Proprietors of the medicine, but I could add a good deal more, for no words can describe what my sufferings were during all those long years. I never expected being well again in this world. Seigel's Syrup saved my life and I desire other sufferers to know of what did so much for me, Iwill gladly answer inquiries.
And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true, by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act (Will. IV., ¢. 62.)
