“THEY DROPPED OFF—POISONED BY MT BLOOD.”

Then ie more or lesi of an impression noon the minds of some people that statements as to the merits and effects of popular medicines should be received with a degree of allow* anoe. That is to say, people are apt to think the proprietors of these articles often enlarge noon and exaggerate the real facts in order to create a demand for What they have to sell. We are inclined to believe this is seldom the case, as the intelligent parsons who own these medicines are aware that any sort of over-statement tends to injure their ■ales rather than increase them. The public are snre to form a correct judgment as to the valne of an advertised article, and any false claims for it are certain to be recognised and denounced. Modesty is the best policy in this as in all other cases. Therefore the reader must not hesitate to accept as true any announcements of which the following is an example. [oopt.] “I, Thirn Daniels, of Wrafton, nr. Barnstaple, do solemnly and sineerely declare as follows

11 1 was always a strong, healthy woman up to the early part of 1879, when I began to be troubled with my liver and stomach. In July of that year I took a chill from sitting on wet grail, and this brought on sciatica and rheumatism. I had dreadful pain in my hips and legs; it was like knives catting through mo. My appetite left me, and what little I did eat gave me great pain in the stomach and chest, I had a taste in my mouth and pains in the sides and between the shoulders. Finally I got so bad I had to bring homo my eldest daughter from

service to look after (he house and children. For several months I went on in this way. At first I doctored myself, rubbing my joints with a rubbing bottle and poulticing. Than I sent (or the doctor and he said my blood was poisoned. He blistbred me and gave me medicine. I was under his cere for five months, bat I get weaker all (be time and went thin as a skeleton. The pain whilst in bed was very severe, 1 could scarcely bear it j and I turned and turned and oonld not find an easy place. Sometimes I was lifted to the floor, and lay there to sea if any ease could be got. I bseame so bad I sent for a doctor from Brannton, but as I got no better, my husband got a recommendation from the late Colonel Harding, of XJpoott, and I attended at' the dispensary at Barnstaple four months, and thin went as an indoor patient In the Barnstaple infirmary, and was treated by two doctors; They agreed it was blood poisoning and talked of performing an operation on my thigh, bnt oonoiuded not to do it, saying I waa too weak. They blistered me again, and no relief from this they aplied leeches, bat as fast as the leeches were put on they dropped off, poisoned by my blood. I was so low-spirited in the hospital thafc lfelt if I did not get home I should die soon, so they made arrangements to take me away. When I got in the open air my ■enaes left me, and (hey thonght I was dying After reaching home I was in great agony, and |<ent my husband for our doctor. He said be*would come, bnt it was of no use, ae ha could do no more shan he had done. 1 lay for weeks, and was so bad that when people spoke to me I had not the strength to reply. At thii time my nephew, Robert Daniels, of Pontypridd, sent us word to try Mother Seigei’s Curative Syrup, as it had worked wonderful cores in the district where he lived. *Bo my husband went to Mr Farley's, the grocer, High Street, Barnetaple, - and bought a bottle. Before 1 had taken all of the bottle 1 oonld eat, and my food seemed to do me good. By degrees I got stronger and stronger, and alter taking thirteen battles I was strong and healthy. My flesh came on, and all pain left my thigh and legs, and I have never ailed anything to speak of since. I thank God, for making Beigel’i Sprnp known to mo. I owe my life to it, and I wish others to know what I say. I consider it the Lord’s doing, and I will be glad to answer any inquiries.

“ And I make this solemn declaration, con* ■oientisnaly believing the same to be true, by virtue of provisions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1835 (6 and 6 William IV., c. 62). “ (Signed,) Thibza Dahmis, ■
