ONE WOMAN'S NERVES.
Lookiru? backward to a certain lonely and unhappy time, a lady says : *• I dragged on iu this miserable for years, until I got tired of and taking stuff that did me One physician attended me months, giving me but W little relief. r "1 slept only m a broken tashion, and arose in the morning very little the better for having gone to bed. There were often severe paina m my head and N over my eyes, and an almost constant of sickness. The skin gradually dry and yellow, the region ol the and bowels felt cold and dead, "and the natural energy and warmth appeared to be ebbing out of me like the water out of a river at low tide. j I "In June, 1889, whilst living at r Slowdown,-' Bournemouth, 1 ha.l a worse attack than any 1 had before- 1, was taken with a feeling of cramp, as li: •pins and needles were running into ma, . all oyer my body. 1 could not move. 1 i « u d bad to lie helpless iu bed. The tlcc'iorwaa sent for, and attended tae ! eveiyday.-butiid'not seem to know '- y } - whattbniakeof my case. In fact, he -'■ - - vW-anrt finally said. *1 dou I
"1 tremblad and shook and felt as if ' should fiill to pieces. I was first k»? nd then cold, an-1 so dreadfully norvonß . could not beat- any one in the room .vitii me, r.nd yet I did not wish them far av.-av in rase I should cull out for help. Every rime cno of these spasms came on I said tc myself, 'lam sure -l shall never get up ngain,* " I took nothing'but liquid food, and
',-et could not retain even that on rrry stomach. By this time I was nothing but skin and bone, jlyie£s vent-clammy, is if I had nn blood" lrfn in me- My memory completely failed. I never sxpected to recover, and that was the opinion of my friends. After they bad I :alled to see rue they would go away, saying, ' She will never get better.' M? head ached so dreadfully I thought I should lose my senses. " I bad given up all hope, v.-hen one day my friend Mrs West, of Bournemouth, called and asked what I was
taking I said, ' Oh, I'm tired of l akmg things : It's no use ; I sh;>.!l die.' Then she told me she wa3 once ill much as 1 was, and was cured by Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. 'Well,' 1 said, 'l'll try it if you will send fur it.' She did so, and I seemed to feel better on taking the first dose, and after three days I was able to walk across the room, and by the end of the week I went d.nvn stairs. Now I am well as ever. All my nervousness has left me. and I can eat and digest my food without feeling any distress. "I want to say finally, that lkneiv about Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and should haye tried it years before if certain acquaintances hadn't said, "Ob don't take it, for it will do you no good." They s-.id that because it was advertised,
not because they knew for themselves. It was bad advice for me. and cost me yeai-a of torture. Fr'im what I have said —which is but part of uiy story -the people may inter what I think cf this remedy. I thank Gud tint t did resort to it at last before it was too late." (Signed) Mrs Jane Foster, Darracott Road, Pokeadown, Bournemouth,- Hants. March, 1890. It is only necessary f) add that the malady from which Mrs Foster suffered was indigestion, d.yspepsia and nervous prostration. Brought on originally by grief and shock at her husband's sudden and violent death, her systeir did not rally until Mother Seigel's "Curative Syrup removed the torpor of the digestive organ*, and thus enriched the blood and fed the nerves. It always has this effect in like cases, We can only regret that she foolishly procrastinated m the matter of using it. Her statement of i facts may be relied upon, as the case has been thoroughly and impartially inyestiI gated,
