An Indescribable Sensation.
To be easily described a thing raußt have dear outlines and unmixed colours. In other words it must be simple. A rent in one's clothing, a boil on one's body, a tumble while walking, the shape of a box, Ac, are easily set forth in words. On the contrary the complex and comprehensive things puzzle the mind and take the meaning from language. It was for this reason that Miss Sabina Mitchell, alluding to an experience of illness, says: "At this time there came | upon me an indescribable sensation. It was as if the powers of life were going to fail me, and I should sink down without help, as a stone sinks in water. Yet in saying this I convey no adequate idea of the nature of that feeling. I hope I shall never have it again. " The illness which led to it began in the spring of 1892. My health appeared to give way a\ at once. I found myself tired, heavy, and feeble. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had much distress at the Btomach and paiu at the chest and sides. My srreugth gradually declined and I became very low, weak, aud nervous ; and it was when in this condition that I felt the indescribable sensation I have spoken of. " I so soon became so depressed in body and mind that it was with great labour and strain that I at ended to my business. I was extremely downhearted and feeble, and none of the many medicines I tried did mo any real good. In Dec mber, 1892, Mother Seigel's Syrup was commended to me, and I began using it with, I confess, small confidence. But after having taken it for a few days I felt wonderful relief. My appetite improved, and eating no longer gave me pain. A short time afterwards the Syrup proved its value in the matter of my disordered nerves. The nervousness disappaared wish my increasing strength. Nowaday, whenever I need any medicine, a few doses of Mother Seigel'a Syrup quickly sets me right. Having had so convincing an ex-
perience of what it can do, I recommend it to all my friends and customers. You can make such use as you like of this letter. (Signed), (Mias) Sabina Mitchell, Marcham-le-Fen, Boston, Lines, May 17th, 1895." " In March, 1892," Writes another lady, "my health began to give way. I had lost ray energy, and was languid and heavy in feeling. I had a sense of faintness and dizaiuess that was Almost constant, and occasional spells of sinking which I cannot describe. Hot and cold flushes came ovef me, my mouth tasted badly, and after eating I had a feeling at the chest like the pressure of an actual load upon it. I never seemed rested, and awoke in the morning more tired than when I went to bed. I was also much troubled with -vind or gas from the stomach, and raised a sour, biting fluid' "In this manner I continued (0 suffer for nearly two years, no medicine that I took giving me any relief. In January, 1894, 1 got a small book and read in it of cases like mine having been cured by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. I immediately procured the medicine from Bootß' Drug Stores, and aftrr taking it about ten days felt much better. I could eat something nourishing without any pain following. I kept on with the Syrup and was soon in my former good health once more. You have my permission to make this statement public. (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Shaw. 174, Barnsley Road, Batamodr, Sheffield. March Bth, 1895." Touching the " indescribable sentation " alluded to by both ladiep, an eminent medical author says : " It is syncope without the loss of consciousness. The sufferer lias the keenest realisation of the bitterness of dissolution. I have seen stalwart men unnerved and shaken by such experiences till they trembled like aspen leaves." The cause is an acid poison in the blood produced by indigestion or dyspepsia. The remedy is to purify the blood with Mother Seigel'e Syrup, and to tone the stomach in the same way. Use the Syrup on the approach of the earliest signs of weakness.
