I had suffered for sumo length of time from ttßovoro'form of indirection, and }ho long atraiii of distroaaing symptoms following that disease. I had tried all he beat medical advico. 1 had swallowed sufficient of their stuff to float a man of war, so to Epoak, but of no avail. A friend of mine, cmning on tho scone in the midst of my suffering.", brought with him a bottle of your Seigel Syrup ; hu advised me to try it, stating he felt confident that it would benefit me Being weary of trying so many drugs, I condemned it before trial, thinking it could n«t possibly dome any gm»d, but ultimately determined to take tho Syrup. After doing so for a short time it worked such a change in me that 1 continued" taking atfor nearly two months, and I thenfelt thoroughly cured, for I have discontinued its use for five weeks, in tho best of health, and can partake and uky of food with ease and comfort. . I am ' therefore thankful to you that, through the instrumentality of your valuable medicine, I am restored to the state of health I now enjoy. Yours truly, "To Mr A. J, White," W, S.

Gentlemen, —It is with great pleasure that I and my testimony to the wonderfu. effects of Seigel's Syrup. ' For years 1 have been suffering . from billious attacks which began with giddiness : then a, mist would-come-before-'my eyes, so that! should not be able to recognise anyone or anything at the distance of a yard or two from my face. This would be followed by excessive trembling of my knees, so that I could nifc stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur, lasting often two or three, days. . I have tried variaus remedies ifor these distressing symptoms, bub until I had tried Seitrel'a Syrup I had no relief Since then I have had excellent health in every respect, and if ever 1 feel a headache doming on I take one dose of the Syrup which arrests it. Hoping fchatf this testimonial may be the means o inducing others (wlio suffer as 1 used) to try the.Sjrup, as I feul sure they will receive sspeedy benefit and ultimately be cured, I be? to romatn, yours faithfully AH.
