In a Third-Class Carriage

Early in February of :his year (1894) I was traveling in a third-class carriage in the n^iahbourhood of Glasgow. At a station two wompn entered the compart ment in which I wa 1 * sea'ed. One was a girl, gaudi'y dressed ; the other a typical working womnn. She had do hat or bonnet, and wore a stuff pet icoat, with a shawl wrapped round her. She was the picture of rude, robust health. The girl asked how her companion was remarking that she had heard she bad bet n far fr^m well. '" D^ed, but I was," responded the e'dev woman, " I thocht I was at deith's door." " Ah say, what 'ike was the matter wi' ye?" " I "ud dae nae work ; if I tried to wash the floor I got siccin a heart beatin', and my stomach fair turned at the s'cht o' food. I went to three doctor.-', one oftfr anither, and they gae me hottles and bottles, hut it didna help me ana till a frien' te It me to try Mother Seigle's Syru ; Wuman, in a week I was better and fin I had ta'en it a month I was a' richt and could eat and work well as over." Then they went on talking of o'b^r subjects. Go where ne may he is likely to near some good said about Mother Seigel ■\nd what is done by her famous medicine. Sometimes it is in the form of a bit of passing talk like the one quoted above ;

and again it rake 9 the shape of letters, fragrant with gra itude for h<-i iih regained. Here is one. We hope many suffering women will see it and read it. "In August, 1892," says the writer, " I bpgan to fe 1 low, w ak, ad ailing. My appetite was bad, and what little I ate gave me much pain at the ches . I was constant y spitting up a clear fluid like watpr and I h' aved and strained a good deal. At the pit of my stomach there was a gnaw ing fei 1 ng, and there seemed to be a hard lump formed in my abdoni' n. In any case I suffered much from pain in that region. " My br« a hing go to be very bad, and I whcpzell\as if the windpipe w«-re clogged and stopped up. I ba-1 a hacking c ugh which gave me bnt little rest day or night and I was troubled with night sweats. The pillow my head b'.:A lain on would be wet in the morning. " In two or three weeks after the time I was taken, I was no longer able to take solid food, or indeed food of any kind. I lived for two months on milk, lime water brandy, and the like. During that time I lay hd Ijbs in bed. " Otten I would have fainting fits, and had to be lifled up and supported in bed. I was now so weak 1 that my friends feared there was no hope for me, and I was anointed by the priest. I had a doctor attending me, but he was not successful in giving me any real relief. "In the following November, although very ili and low, I was able at times to read a little, and then it was that I read one day about Mother Seigel's Syrup and the wonders it had done for others. I sent for it, and less than half a bottle made me feel better. I had a trifle more appetite and could eat a little and retain it. So I went on with the Syrup, and when I had used four bottles the cough and all the other troubles left me, and soon I was well and strong as before. You are at liberty to publish my letter if you desire, for the good of others who may suffer as I did without knowing where to look for a cure. (Signed) Mrs Honoria Brennan, 42 Great Britian Street, Cork, March 17th, 1894.'' ...■■■■ - A good letter, a cheering letter, dated on St. Patrick's Day, too. A great thing to be rid of snakes-bat a greater thing to be rid of indigestioipand^dyspepsia — more poisonous than 'any reptile that ever crawled. And that was the dreadful ailment which gave Mrs Brennan three months of suffer- j ing ; the ailment that the Scotch women talked of in the train ; the ailment that inflicts mor- pain and fills up more graves than all the other ailments on pot together. s * " I And yet Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup cures it as fast as people hear of it and take it. That's why we keep telling about it, and printing what everybody tells about it over and over.

Be wise in time ! 'Tib good advice. Man gets his chance but seldom twice ! And therefore do not be cajoled Ibto neglect of cough or cold ! For both, there is no nostrum truer Than that of Woods' Great Pepper- j n:int Cure.
