INFORMATION FOR WORKING WOMEN.

It u a boast often heard that there are a greater bcodpation* to women nowaday* than ever before. Yet thq fact is not without its drawbacks, for'women are thus tempted into scores of positions for which they are not fitted, with much consequent misery.- Thousands of girls, especially in America, :sit all day hammering at type * writers.. and telegraph instruments, stand on their feet for a dozen hour* at a stretch in shops or store*, and bend oyer desk* at some sort of writing, till their muscles and bead ache,, together. In both England and America they labor in factories long hours over hard and monotonou i. tasks, often in a fearfully bad atmosphere, and for email wage*. When they break down the expense of having physicians, coupled with other costs of illness, is apt to consume their little .savings. Therefore any information which will enable them to lessen such an outgo must be welcomed by the host of wlorking women. 1 On this point a recent letter received by us nW throy# £*y of light. The writer, says, "iWheh a woman has to depend upon her fipgers solely for a living is is a terrible thing to fall ill, evon though it may for a few days or week*. This was my own situation when I was first taken bad about ten years ago. It began with what I shall have to describe as a heavy, sinking feeling at the pit of the stomach, and a sensation of giddiness and at meals. On rising from tho l would often be stroked with palpitation of the heart, which bbat so 1 didn’t know what to do with myself. Some days I would not eat a mouthful of solid food, so much afraid was I of the it gave mo. I have gone without food for three consecutive day* and ; nights, till I thought I must surely starve. At the same time the desire to eat was so great I could have clutched eagerly at the hardest piece of (tale biead.i I got so bad I had to lie in bed for days, and grew so weak 1 could scarcely raise myself on my elbows. 1 consulted doctor after doctor; 1 think I must have had not less than a dozen altogether. One called my. illness ..by one name, and the others by other names..,. No two of them agreed as to what it really wp* that ailed ms, None of them did t me . pny good, though my,money went fast enough to pay .them, and to buy. the medicine they ordore 1. " One day I saw in the Christian Age an account of Mother Seigel'* Curative Syrup.. Tet how could I believe in it f I had trusted and hoped, and been deceived so often. Unless—which seldom happens—people get the right medicine at first, it is a wonder to me how they over' get it at all. What made mo feel that Mother" Seigel’* remedy might be of some use 1 don’t know ; but I think it was because it was discovered and made by a good woman who had been cured by it herself. At all events 1 sent for it and began to take it. Up to the time when I w-lte this letter 1 have taken it seven weeks, and the change it, has produced has astonished all who know me. The pain about my heart is entirely gone, and I gain strength every day,” Note.— The writer of the above letter (requested that her name should not be published. Wo feel bound to respect her wishes, although we have no doubt she will consent to bur giving her name and address to any of her own sex who may desirg't? write to her, either directly or through u*.

<A somewhat similar case is that of Mr« Annie West, of Manor Boad, Bournemouth, Hants, who writes under a late date} " ! desire to inform yon of my wonderful re* ooyery after taking Mother Saigel's Curative Syrup. I wae soWas to be unable to riie from' my bed, and thought I should never stand on my feet again. But by the blesei.gg of, G-od, and the use of the Syrnp, 3 am so far recovered as to be able tQ return to my work. lam a poor widow and have to work fot nay living} and have on one or two oooakibns sold some of my things to buy Seigel’s Syrup. For years I could vdi keep any food down and Suffered &bm terrible headache. . Now th%t 3 am well once more, I shall fleop easa baok a hundred times over the price, 01. the. good medicine that drove away my complaint, ”
