She Put It in the Cupboard

What a weary thing it is to be ill, especially for a long time. You are tired of advice, tired of trying this, that, and the other, tired of fancying your are a trifle better, tired of tuking precautions against getting worse. You are tired of pain, and half believe the sooner you are under the ground the better for you, und the more agreeable to your friends, Here's a little story. A woman told it lately. She says (Cory.]

"I, Mary Jones, of 3, Galton Street, Great Howard Street, Liverpool, declare as follows "Thave suffered all my life from weakness of the stomach and sluggish liver. I was always tired and languid, and often troubled with billions headache. My appetite was T never had desire for food "and what PPGia eat did not digest properly. I had always a bad taste in my mouth, and a slimy scum would cover my mouth and teeth, and so bad was this that I was obliged to rinse it away before eating.. When I was in my teens very weakly and would faint after down to my meals. I had trembling at the heart, with a heavy weight at the chest, pain at my side, and a strange giddy feeling would come over me. When out walking in the street I used to have to stand and rest for fear of falling. I was also so! weak that when going about my work I often had to cit down and rest. Attimes Thad a bad cough and pain in my lungs, I saw! doctor atter doctor, and was under medical treatment for more than twelve years. One doctor said I was suffering from an enlargement of the liver, another said I had heart disease, a third said may lungs were congested and that I could not recover. Thinking I was now in a consumption, I went to a consumptive hospital and was under treatment there for some time. The doctors, after sounding amy chest, told me Iwas in a decline, and that my left lung was congested. 'They' gave me cou-liver'oil und other medicines, but I got on better.

"In July, 1890, after a bad fainting I became so bad' had to take to my bed, and was attended by three doctors for a month, The first doctor who saw me said I cond not recover. I had intense pains in my stomach, and could get nothing to pass my bowels, Various means were tried and found useless.

could take liquid food only and was fast sinking, my case being considered hopeless by Doth the physican and the nurse. At this time it was that my husband heard through Mr. Parry, the chemist in Great Howard Street, of a medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and we were presented with a book which described a case just like mine having been cured by it. My husband procured'a Lottie of this medicine and I began takiy it. After a few doses I passed a motion as black as coal and experienced great relief and shortly after felt as if I wanted something to eat. When the doctor called the next day he could see a marked change in me tind eaid, "Are, Jones, we have given you the ight medicine at lust.' He thought it was his last bottle that had worked the change, whereas the nurse had put the medicine in the cupboard untouched. I went on with Mother Seigel's Syrup, and to the delight of my husband, father, and puree I never looked Vehind me.' All the pain at the heart and chest gradually left me, and in a fortnight was strong enough tobe removed to the seaside, and have ever since been in good health.

"T never felt so well in my life as I do now. All my friends consider the cure as a mira: culoas one, and I wish others to know by what means my life was saved, Tam willing that' Messrs. A. J. White, Limited, shall make whatever use they may think fit of this, statement, and I hereby authorise th do so.

"Dated this 3rd April, 1891, Signed) Mrs. Jones."

There was nothing this lady's recovery, although it may' deen, and indeed it was remarkable. was all along the straight lines of nature. She had suffered all her life from indigestion and dyspepsia, ani her other ailments arose from that, and that alone, She could not digest her' food, and the whole system was perishing from' the poison in the stomach and front luck of nutrition, Mother Siegel's Syrup did its own work, it cleansed away the corrupted and set the digestive organs (the liver, h, and bowels) in natural operation, and immediate improvement and final recovery followed as necessary consequences, pecially should the reader notice the close reseniblance between the symptoms of dyspepsia and those of consumption, through which most unhappy mistakes are constantly made. Never conclude you have consump: tion until you are sure it isn't d: jouved The chances are that the result will be the same as in Mrs, Jones' case.
