No Building Big Enough.

No Building Big Enough.

Pkobably (he two women whose names we are about to mention (by their good will and consent) never saw or even heard of each other. A broad bit of sea water rolls between the places where they severally live. Still, the world is getting smaller every day, and it i 3 quite possible they may meet ; if they do, they will have a common subject for a talk. Without waiting far that, however, we will take the reader into the secret (o far as it is a secret) right on the spot. The first lady to be named resides at Norton, near Eirton, Lind-sey, Lincolnshire and in a letter dated the 16th of the blnstsring month of March, 1893, she says, •' / trembled from head to foot. 7 '

This would scarcely be worth mentioning if it had been simply the result of a flight and therefore bound to pass off in a few minutes. But it lasted for a long time and did not avise from a fright or from any other form of excitement. It meant sheer weakness and a wholesale upsettina of the nerves. "I was constantly sick and dizzy," she says, " and had a dull pain between the shoulders. I had no appetite, and tha effect of what little I did eat was so bad and gave me so much distress that after a time I hardly dared touch any food or drink. During this period I may just mention that I was terribly constipated, int' rvals of ten days sometimes elapsing between the action of the bowels. No laxativos or enemas availed to relieve this condition, and I became more f-;eble and prostrated day by day. My illness began in August, 1892, and after four months' suffering I was conpletely cured in December by your remedy. Indeed it whs not necessary for me to take quite one bottle. If any one who reads this little siatement of mine wishes to know more about my case, I will gladly answer inquiries. (Signed) Mrs M. G. Walsham." The second lady, wii:es from her home No. 12, Horgan's Buildings, College Road, Cork, -dating her letter the 27th of the' sunny month of June, 1893. She says, " Everything was a trouble and a burden. For nights together I go 1 , no sleep. I couldn't bear the noise of the children. I had no desire for company ; I wanted to be alone in my misery. I often thought I wa9 going to die. I was in this way for nearly twelve months."

Now this was bad ; very, very bad. When women cannot bear the noise of her own children — which of all noises is least observed by a mother's ear — why, her nerves are, as we raight say, all gone to pieces. And, inasmuch as the nerves are on'j a part of the body, it follows that the whol? system is badly out of order. And so it was. "The complaint," she says,

"came on in October, 1890." It was marked by failure of the appetite, pain and weight in the chest after eating, a sinkiDg feeing at the pit of the stomach, biliousness, flatulency, and other signs with which the readers of these article.-? are so sadly familiar. Of the progress of theinadady and how low it reduced her she has already spoken. The end of it all -a happy end, thank Mercy— was like ths "In September, 1891." she adds. "my husband persuaded me too try a medicine he had heard and read so much about. I did so, and soon found relief— a relief that none of the other medicines I had used were able to give me. My lost appetite came back, and my food digested easily and strengthened me. You hardly need be told that I continued taking the medicine, and soon I was well as ever I was in my life and have ailed nothing since. Yours tru'y, (Signed) Mrs Lucy Carroll." Women, like men, never agree on all the topics which come up in conversation. It would be a dull world if they did. But these two will agree that they were afflicted with the same complaint — indigestion and dyspepsia; and ihat Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup, which restored them boih to health, is one of the very best friends in time of trouble that their sex ever bad.

And what is more, if all the women in this kingdom who think the same were collected in one meeting, no building could be found big enough to accommodate them.
