INFORMATION FOR WORKING WOMEN.

It is a boast often heard that there are a greater variety of occupations to women nowaday! than ever before. Yet the fact is not without'its drawbacks,- for women are thus tempted into *oorei of positions for whioh they are not fifed, with much consequent misery. Thousands of vgirls, espa* cially in Amerioa, sit nil day hammering at type-writers , and telegraph instruments, stand on their'feet far a d&zsn hours at a stretch in shops or stores, and bend over desks at some sort of writing, till their musoles and heal aohe together In both England and Amerioa tbey labor in factories long hours over hard and monotonous tasks, often in a fearfully bad atmosphere,; and for small wages. When they break down the expense of having physicians, coupled with other costs of illness, is apt to oonsume their little savings. Therefore any information which will enable them to lessen such an outgo must be welojmed by the host of working women. On this point a recent letter received by us may throw a ray of light. The writer sajs: " When a woman has to depend upon her fingers solely for a liviDg is is a tenible thiug to fall ill, even though it may be only for a few days or weeks. 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 stomaoh, and a sensation of giddiness and faintneis whilst at meal). On rising from the trble I would often be attacked with palpitation of the heart, whioh beat so I 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 pain it gave me. I-have gone without food for three consecutive days and nightj, till I thought I must surely starve. At the same time the desire to eat was so great I oould have clutched eagerly at the hardest pieoe of stale bread. I got so bad I had to lie in bod for days, and grew so weak I could tearee'.y raise myself on my elbows. I ooniulted doctor aiter dootor ; I think I must have had not IeBS than a dozan altogether. One called my illness by one name, and the others by other names. No two of them agreed as to what it really was that ailed me. None of them did me any good, though my money went fast enough to pay them, and to buy the medicine they otderei. "One day I Baw in the Christian Age an aocount of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Yet how oould I baheve iu it f I had trusted and hoped, and been decei7ed so often. Unless—which seldom happens—people get the right medicine at first, it is a wonder to me how they ever get it at all. What made me feel that Mother Seigel's remedy might be of some use I don't know ; but I think it was because it was discovered and made by a good woman who h*d been cured by it herself. At all events 1 lent for it and began to take it. Up to the time when I write this letter I have taken it ssven weeks, and the change it has produoed 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. We feel bound to respeot her wishes, although we have no doubt she will oonsent to our giving her name and address to any of her own sex who may desire to write to her, either directly or through us.

A somewhat similar case ia that of Mrs Annie West, of Manor Road, Bournemouth, Hants, who writes under a late date : " I desire to inform you of my wonderful reoovery after taking Mother Saigel's Ourative Syrup. I wae so low as ti be unable to riie from my bed, and thought I should uever stand on my feet again. But by tb.3 blessing of God, and the use of the Syrup, I am so far recovered as to be able to return to my work. lam a poor widow and have to work for my living} and have on one or two occasions sold some of my things to buy Seigel's Syrup. For years I oould not keep any food down and suffered from terrible headaohe. Now that lam well once more, I shall soon oarn baok a hundred times over the price of the good medicine that drove away my oomplaint,"
