I had an appetite then, and a digestion also. Que day. a gentleman came to dine at our house, I shall never forget that man. He had dull eyes and a purple complexion. He watched my style' of eating for about five minutes, and then said to my father. "Does your boy ever suffer from dyspepsia "Never heard him complain of it," replied my father, Do you ever suffer from dyspopsia, Toddtes?"

His father's est was well booked on the subject. may guarantee, That's how he got the purple skin and the dull eyes, "And that's What mads him fairly tura sour with envy when he saw the boy cating like a hungry dog, and with as little fear of the consequences, Ab, lear, dear! if we elderly mea and women could eat now as we could when our chins came just up to the top of the tablet But -we nob? Well, -here's one good woman tells why she could', and she was go much in earnest in the tale that she' went before the Mayor of Leeds and had it put into a form which carries weight and conviction with it. Thus we have "I, Caroline Nixon (wife of Ezra Nixon, wholesale clog manufacturer), of 4, St. Agnes Mount, Stoney Rock Lane, and' 85, Upper Accommodation Road, Leeds, do solemnly if and sincerely declare as follows "Up to November, 1885, I was strong and hearty, At this time I low, weak state, I was tired, uld, and low-spirited. T had a bad taste in the mouth and expectorated a dear of phlegm. My appel tite was poor, and after eating I had great pain at the chest and between the shoulders, and so bad was this that I was afraid to eat. I
fe awake most of the night, and was worse sleep at night, and for weeks would tired in the morning than when I went to bed, I was quite worn out, and got so weak that 1 could scarcely get about the house.

Having a large family to look after, I was com-led to be up and doing, otherwise I should speak of Indigestion and Dyspepsia, but did ave been in bed. T hat often heard people not think it was so bad as I found it. In this miserable condition I continued week after week, only to find myself weaker and weaker, I saw a doctor in York Road, who gave me metlicine, but I got no better. Getting anxious, I went to a clever, experienced doctor, Dut after being under his treatment some time I gave up taking his metlicine, for I got worse instead of better. Both doctors said I was suffering from Indigestion, but they were uuabletod"anything forme,' Inow lost all faith in physic, and looked on my case us incurable, when one day a book was left at the house telling of medicine called Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I read of several cases resembling mine having been cured by it. I sent to Mr. Cole, chemist, in Marsh Lane, and got a bottle. After taking the syrup three days I felt relief, my appetite returfed and my food digested, and before had taken one large bottle I was cured, aod have since kept in good health, After my recovery one of my daughters was taken bad with rheumatic so I gave her some Scigel's Syrup and si soon got well. If any of my family ailanything a dose or two of the Syrup soon sets them right, and for the past four or five years we have needed no doctor owing to taking the medicine.
