There is mere or less cf an upon the minds of some people statements as to the merits and of popular medicines should be with a degree of allowance. That is ■ say, people are apt to think tH proprietor* of these articles often enlaiS upon 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 persona who own 'these medicines are aware that any sort of over-statement tends to injure their sales rather than to increasfcthera. The publio are sure to form a correct judgment as to the value of an advertised article, and any false claims for it are certain to be recognised and denounced. Honesty is-the best policy in this as in all other cases. . • Therefore the reader need not hesitate to accept as true .any which the following is an example : ■■'■--.-■' i - '■' [COFY.] !

"I,Tiara Daniels, of Wrafton, nr Barnstaple, do solemnly and sincerely leclare as follows : " I was always a strong, healthy roman up to.the early part of 1870, irhen I began to be troubled with my liver and" stomach. In Inly of that year 1 took a chil frora».iittiug on some wet grass, and this/Drought on sciatica and rheumatism. I had dreadful pain in my hips and legal it was Jike knives cutting through me. My appetite lefc me, and what little ; Aid eat gave me .great pain in the stomach; and chest. I had a bad taste in the mouth and pains in the sides and between the shoulders. Finally I got so weak that 1 had to bring home me deat daughter from service te look after the house and my four chil-dren.-For several months I went en in this way. At first I doctored myself rubbing my joints with a rubbing bottle and poulticing. Then I sent for tne dofeot and he. said my blood was poisoned. He blistered me and gave me medicine. Ia as under his care for

fiye months, but I got weaker all the time and went thin as a skeleton. The , pain whilst in bed was very set ere 1 could scarcely bear it; and I turned and turued, but could not find an easy place. Sometimes I was lifted to the floor, and lay there to see if any ease conld. be go 1 became so bad I sent for a doctor from Braonton, bat, as 1 got no better, my husband got a recommendation from the late Colonel Harding, of Upcott, and I attended, at the dispensary at Barnstaple four months, and then 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 onjny thigh, but concluded not to do it, saying I was too weak. They blistered me again, and ho" relief from this, they 'applied le*ches, but as fast aa the leeches were pat ou they dropped off, poisoned by my blood. X was so low-spirited in the hospital that I ielt if 1 did not get home 1 should die soon, so they made arrangements to take me away. When I got in the open air my senses left me, and they thought 1 was dying. After j reaching home I was in.great agony,) and cent my husband for our doctor. He said he would come, bat it was of no use, as he could do no mere than he had done. 1 lay for weeks, and was- so bad that when people spoke to me 1 had not the strength to reply. At this time my nephew, Robert Daniels, of Pontypridd, sent us werd te try Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, as ithad worked wonderful cures in the district where he lived. So my husband went to Mr Farley's, the grocer, High Street, Barnstaple, and bought a bottle. Before I had taken all of that bottle, I could eat, and my food seemed to do me good. By degrees I got stronger and stronger, and after taking fourteen bottles 1 was strong and healthy. My flesh came on, and all pain left my thigh and legs, and 1 have .never ailed any thing to speak of since. I thank God for makjug Seigel's Syrup known' to me. liSßmy life to it, and I wish others to to Sw -rhat I say. I consider it the Lord's doing, and 1 will be glad to .answerany enquiries " "And 1 make this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be troe, by virtue of previsions of the Statutory Declaration Act, 1835 (5 and 6"WiHiamiy., c.62).
