A WOMAN’S SUFFERING AND GRATITUDE.
A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA. Near the village of Zillingdorf, in Lower Austria, lives Maria Haas, an intelligent and industrious woman whose story of physical suffering and final relief, as related by herself, is of interest to English women. “ I was employed,” she says, “ in the work of a large farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headache, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until 1 was unable to retain either food or drink. I was compelled to take to my bed tor several weeks. Getting a little better from rest and quiet, I sought to do some work, but was soon taken with a pain in my side, which in a little while seemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb. This was followed by a cough and a shortness of breath, until finally I could not sew, and I took to my bed for a second time, and, as 1 thought, for the last time. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then I happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlets. 1 read it, and my dear mother boughk me a bottle of Seigel’s Syrup, which/1 took exactly accordin'to directions,/nd I had not taken the whole for the betjfel My/as* illness began Jane 3rd, 18S2, mchreoiAiiHio(T*to August 9th, when I Qggan^toAake the Syiup, Very soon I could do a Hittle light work. The cough left me, an/ I was no more troubled in breathing. Now I am perfectly cured. And oh, how happy I am ! 1 cannot express gratitude enough for SeigeTs Syrup. Now I must tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine, telling them it would do them no good, and many were hereby influenced to destroy the Seigei pamphlets; but now, wherever one is .to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few preserved are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine for six miles round uur district. People have come eighteen mites to get me to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it cured me, and to be sure to get the right kind, I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them there was no help for her, that she had consulted several doctors, bnt none could help her. 1 told her of Seigel’s Syrup, and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake She took ray advice and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around ns are amazed. The medicine has made such progiess in our neighbourhood that people say they don’t want the doctor any more, but they take the Syrup. Sufferers from gout who were confined to their bed anl could hardly move a finger, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water, and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumatic pains, and had to have au attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in the surrounding districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child, but everyone crossed themselves and said they could not help her. Whenever the little bell rang which is rung in our place when somebody is dead, we thought surely it was for her, but Seigel’s Syrup and Pills saved her life, and row she is as healthy as anybody, goes to church, and can work even in the fields. Everybody was astonished when they saw her out, knowing how many years she had been in bed. Today she adds her gratitude to mine for God’s mercies and Seidel’s Syrup.” Maria Haas. The people of England speak confirming tbo above.
