A WOMAN’S SUFFERING AND GRATITUDE.
A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA. Heir 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 siys, “in the work of a largo farmhouse. Overwork brought on sick headache, followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach, until I was unable to retain cither food or drink. [ was compelled to take to my bed tor several weeks. Got; ing a little better from rest and quirt, 1 sought, to do some work, hut was soon taken with a pain in my side, which ina little while -eemed to spread over my whole body, and throbbed in my every limb, 'ibis was followed by a cough and a shortness of breath, until finally I could not sew, and T took to my bed for a second time, and, as I thought, for the last time. My friends told me that my time had nearly come, and that I could not livo longer than when the trees put on their green once more. Then 1 happened to got one of the Seigel pamphlets. 1 read it, and my dear mother bought me a battle of SeigeTs Syrup, which I took exactly according to directions, and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a great change
for the better. My last illness began June . 3rd, 1882, and continued'to August 9th, ( when I began to take the Syrup, Very soon I could do a little light work. The cough left me, and I was no more troubled in breathing. 'Now I am perfectly cured, j And oh, how happy I am ! I cannot express gratitude enough for Seigel’a Syrup. Now 1 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 Seigel pamphlets; but now, wherever one is to be found, it is kept like a relic. The few pre- 1 served are borrowed to read, and I have lent mine, tor six miles round our district. People hare come eighteen miles to get me 1 to buy the medicine for them, knowing that it cured mo. and to be sure to get the , right kind. I know a woman who was looking like death, and who told them there a was no help for her, that she had consulted e several doctors, but 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 my advice and the Syrup, and now she is in perfect health, and the people around us 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 an 1 could hardly move * a finger, have been cured by it. There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going *hroiuh some water, and was in bed 1 five years with costivenesa and. rheumatic pains, and had to have an attendant to watch by her. There was not a doctor in J 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 rana/tvhich is rung in our place , when we thought" surely it was cul ggfpl’s Syrup/Snd Pills 1 saved her/fe, and ntfw she ia/a,s heaUify ( as anyhfmy, poeq-Jp even W5 the fields. Eve/y b(G>yjms astonished when they how many years she Jfad Wten in/bed. Today she adds bejyjfratitude to mine for J God’s mercies and: Seigel’s Syrup.” • t Maria Haas. The people of England speak confirming the above. ; AFTER MANY YEARS. , . “ "VVhittle-le-Woods, nearChoney, “ December 20th, 1883.
