A CASE OP NfifttOtS PEOSTRaTION RESULTING FROM INtfIGEST ION; They say that misery loves company, and they have had it so often it has passed into proverb. Yet it isn't an all-round truth; Sortie kinds of misery detest company. Tliey want to bo left nlorie. They hate W be elbowed and questioned and talked to. A wounded dog will always crawl into some retired place by itself. The instinct of badly injured men, after a battle is the same. Aliments that are mostly fancy, tend to set tongues wagging. But real, genuine and dangerous diseases incite to speech. Crises which are big with fate usually como and go in quiet. That is why Mrs Scuff ham had no desire for the society of even her best friends at a certain time she is going to tell ua about. "Up to April, 1881," she writes, "I never Knew what it wa3 to be ill. At that time I began to feel that something was amiss with me. I had no relish for my meals and after eating my chest felt heavy and painful, and my heart would beat and thump as though it meant to leap out of its place. Presently I became so swollen round tha waist that I was obliged to unloose my clothing, as I could not bear anything to touch that part of my body. " Even the lightest food gave me pain ; a little fi3h setting my heart to beating at a great rate. My feet were cold, and cold, clammy sweats would break out all over me, leaving me eahausted and worn out. At night I got no sleep to speak of, and in the morning I felt worse tired than when I went to bed. I also Buffered a great deal from my feet being puffed up and sore. I could scarcely get about the house. When I went shopping I had to ride to town and back aa I could only walk a few yards. "As time went on I lost my flesh and strength more and more, and gave up hope of ever recovering the precioua health- I had so sadly loßt. I took medicines, and consulted a clever doctor at Derby who examined me and said my heart was weak. He also gave me medicines, but I got only temporary ease from them, and in a short time was as bad as before. All this time I was bo nervous and depressed that I had no desire for company. On the contrary, I seem to want to be alone with my misery. Even a knock at the door frightened me, as though I expected b&d news, yet I did not really. My nerves and fancies ran away with my knowledge and judgment. Thousands of women who have suffered in this way will understand what I mean. " Year after year I remained in this condition, and what I went through I oannot put in words, nor do I wish to try. It will answer the purpose to say that I existed thus for eleven and a half years, as much dead at alive. I Bpent pounds on pounds in physio, but was not a whit the better for aay of it. "In October, 1892, a book was left at our house, and I read in it of cases like mine being cured by Mother Seigel's Syrup. I got a bottle from Mr Bardel, the chemist, in Normanton Street, Derby, and when I had taken this medioine for a few days, my appetit* was better and I had less pain. I kept on taking it, and soon my food agreed with me and I gained strength. " After this I never looked behind me, but steadily got stronger and stronger. When I had taken three bottles I was quite like a new woman. All the nervousness had left me, and my heart was sound as a bell. Since then I have enjoyed good health, and all who know me say my recovery is remarkable. lam confident that Mother Seigel's Syrup wa3 the means, in the hands of Providenoe, of saving my life ; and out of gratitude, and in hope of doing good, I freely consent to the publication of this statement. (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Scuff - ham, Cooper's Lane, Laceby, Grimsby, May Ist, 1895." This letter is endorsed by Mr William J, Tollerton, of the sarao town, who vouches for the truth of what Mrs Scuffharn has Raid, at he personally knew of the circumstances of her illness at the time they occurred. No comment can add a jot to the force of this open, candid, and sincere com munication. Whosoever reads it musl need? be moved and convinced by it. Tl« disease which filled this woman's life with : pain and misery for nearly twolve yeare was indigestion or dyspepsia, an ailment sly and cunning as a snake in the grass— and as dangerous. Send for the book ol which Mrs Scuffhara ppeans, and read the symptoms in order that you may knov , what it is, and how to deal witli it. Th< book costs yon nothing, yet it would b< 1 worth buying as if every leaf were bammerec ' gold,
