[oopxO «I, Thirx* Daniels, of Wrafton, nr. Bun* staple* do; solemnly: and sincerely declare as follows s— , " 1 was always a strong, health; woman up *o the early part of 1879, when ! began to -ig troubled with my liver and stomach, In July of that year I took a.chill from sitting; on wet gran, and thu brought ,on sciatica and rheumatism. I had dreadful pain in my hips arid l legs; it was like 'Kaitek catting through mo. ! Ity appetite'left me, and what little I did eat -gave me great pain in. the stomach and chest. 1, had a taste in my mouth and pains in the sides and, between the shbtdders. Finally I got so bad I had to bring home my eldest daughter from: service to look after tho house and ohildren.■ For several,, months ;I . went on in this way. At first(l doctored myself, rubbing my joints with a rubbing bottle and poulticing. Then I seht for the dbolor and he said my hlpdd was poisoned. < Hc blistbred me and gave me medicine.: I wan under his care for Ire; months, but I, got , weaker ail the, time, and went thin as a skeleton. ' The pain whilst in bed wab Very severe, I could scarcely beat it j and I turhed'and turned and could not find an easy- place.: .Sometimes I < was i lifted to the floor,, and. lay there to see if any, ease oopld be got. . I became bo bad I, sent, for a doctor from Branoton, bat ai I got ho better, my husband got a recommendation fromthe late Colonel Hftrdiog, of- Dpcott, arid I attended at the dispensary at Barnstaple four months, and trim went as an indoor patient in the Barnstaple infirmary, and was treated by two doc'on. They agreed it was blood,poisoning and talked of perjtarmifg'an operation'pri my thigh, but bonbladed not to do it, "saying T was' too weak. Trio; blistered j me again, and no relief froin this they ap* lied leeches, bnt as fast as the leeches were pat on they.drppped oif, poisoned by my blood. I was so' low-spirited in the hospital that I felt if I did not get home’l should die soon, so they made.arrangements to take me away.' When I got in the open air my tenses left me,, and they, thought I was dying. After reaching home I was in great agony, and sent my, husband. for our doctor. He said he would come, bnt it was of 90 use, as he could ; do no more than be had done;' I lay for weeks, and. was so had-tbat when people spoke to me I had not the! strength to reply. At this time my nephew, Robert Daniels, of ; Pontypridd, sent ns word to try Mother Seigel'a Ouratira Syrup,' as it had worked wonderful ioores in the district where he lived. So myi husband, went to. Mr Farley’s,: the groper. High Street, Barnstaple, and bought a bottle.'. Before I had taken all of the bottle I eorild eat, and my food’ seemed to do me good. By degrees 1 got stronger and - stronger,, j and ji alter taking thirteen bottles I waa.strong and. healthy., My flesh oame on, and all paip left my thigh, andlegs. arid I hare never- ailed, anything to, speak of since I thank God for making ; Beigel’s
