No Building Big Enough.
Probably the t.vo 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 rose between the places where they severally live. S; ill, the world is getting smaller every day, and it is quite possible they may meet; if they do, they will have a common subject for a talk. Without waiting for that, however, we will taksthe reader into the secret ( 0 far as it is a secret) right on the spot. The first lady to be named resides at Norton, nearKirton, Lind ey, I incolashire and in a letter dated the 10th of the blustering month of March, 1893, she says, " / trembled from head to foot. 1 ' This wou d 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 a he frolil a fright or from apy other form of excitement. It meant sneer weakness aid a wholesale upseltinc of the nerves. "I wasconstantly sick and dizzy," she Says, " and had a dull pain between the shoulders. I had no appetite, and the ; effect of what little I AiA eat was so bad and gave me so much distre.-s that after a lime I hardly dared touch any food or drink. During this period I may just mention that I wa3 terribly constipated, intervals of ten days sometimes elapsing between the action of the bowels. No lax&tives or enemas availed to relieve this condition, and I became more fteble and prostrated day by day. My illness began in August, 1892, and after four months' suffering I was competely cured in December by your remedy. Indeed it was not necessary for me to take quite one bottle. If any one who reads this little s'atement of mine wishes to know more about my case, I will gl dly answer inquiiies. (Signed) Mrs M. G. Walsham." : The second lady, writes from her home No. 12, Horgan's Building ', College Road, Cork, dating her letter the 27th of the sunny month of June, 1893. She says, 11 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 was : going to die. .1 was in this way for nearly I twelve months." I 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 might say, all gone to piecee. And, inasmuch as the nerves are on'y a part of the body, it follows that the whol? syst-m is badly out of order. And so it was. " The complaint," she says, j "came on in October, 1890." It was 1 marked by failure of the appetite, pain and . weight in the chest af.er eating, a sinkiog feeling a*, the pit of ihe stomach, biliousness, flatulency, and other sigus with whiah the readers of these articles are so ! sadly familiar. | Of the progress of ihe malady and how , low it reduced her she has already spoken! The end of it all— a happy end, thank Mercy— was like this "In September, | 1891." she adds. "my husband persuaded me too try a medicine he had heard au-1 read so much about. I did so, and soon found relicf — a relief that none of the other medicines I had used were abe to give me. My lost appetite came back, and my food digested easily aid strerg hened 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 tiu'y, (Signed) Mrs Lucy Carroll." 1 Women, like men, never agree on all the | topics which come up in conn rsation. j It would be a dull world if they did. But these two wi 1 agree that they were afflicted with Ihe same comp'aint — indigestion and dyspepsia ; and that Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, which restored them bo h to health, is one of the very best friends in time of trouble that their sex ever had. And what is more, if all the women in tins kingdom who think the same were collected in one meeting, no building could be found big enough to accommodate them.
