It Recalls the Blizzard.

In March, 1888, tho great blizzard in America almost extinguished the City of New York. The like of it was never before seen. Tho snow completely Btoppcd all local traffio. Not a horse or a wheel cuuld move. All tho telegraph lines leading into tho city were prostrated, and lor two or threo days tho' peoplo df Boston and New York communicated with eaoh othor by way of London by means of the Atlantic cablos. Thus message* totalled for persona threo huudrad miles distant were sent six thousand miles, crossing the ocean twice. ,An incident which recalls this experience to the writer's mind happened a short time aao hero 'in England. Suppose wo lot tho getitloman interested toll his own story. Be says; "I havo suffered more or less from indigestion and dyspepsia all my life. Iliad a bad taste in tho mouth, pain after eating, a poor appetito, and sour stcroach, My tongue was coated, and my mouth constantly filled with a watery fluid. No matter what I ate, howover light, it f disagreed with me and gavo mo pain. I had fulness of tho chest, and pain at my side, with a miserablo , low, dull foellng, From time to time I consulted a doctor who gave me medicines, but they did voiy little good. The doctor said that the coating of my stomach was disordered, and tho mocous membrane, was ioflanied. In 1877 I received a pamphlet trom New York teljing of a medicine called Mothor Seigel's Curative Syrup, and of the extraordinary cures it had effected, so 1 procured a supply, and after taking the first I felt better, and by the time I h.id takonfour bottles more, I was completely cured, and have been in good health, as regards tho indigestion, ever , aince. Having studied the practice of herbs for many years, I was in tho habit of treating people for eiysipehs and other complaint b, and was frequently consulted by peoplo in tho district, i after my remarkable cure, I was ; !• impressed with tho merits of SeigcL 1 Syrup, that I procured a largo supply of the medicine, and recommended it to all who were suffering, and peoplo came from far and near for it. I may monitor, that on a Sunday my house wai besioged by miners from Coal Pit Heath, and othora from a distance. On every hand I heard nothing but the loudest praiso of the cures it effected, and the fame of this medicine was spread throughout the West of England with no other advertising than one party telling another of the benefit they have derived from this wonderful medicine. I wish everyone to know of this, and if by publishing th's statement it will help others vtho may be suffering as 1 was, it will afford me pleasure." The lotter from which tho foregoing is an extract is signed Moses Godwin, Old Sodbury (Sodbury), Glos, and is dated April 9th, 1891. He is a farmer, Tho reader will notice that whilo the : headquarters for tho sale of Mother Beigel's Syrup is universally known to be : in London, by a strange chance Mr : Godwin's first information concerning it 1 camo from America, three thousand 1 miles away, which recalls the incident of j the American blizzard abovo narrated, and also showß that tho famo and use- , fulness of this medicine extends to all , civilised countries. ( Mr Benjamin Edgerton, grocer and i provision doaler, Plat Lane, Whisall, Whitchurch, Salop, sayß: " "While liv- < iog with Mr Roberts, Fens Wood Farm, 1 I first began to feel a dull j hoavy weight at my side, ana ' noticed a bad taste in my month with ' foul stomach and uncomfortable feeling ' after eating. I had no appetite, and J when I sat down to tho table I could i ] not touch the food, I had a goo 3 deal of. pain and noise in the head, and could ] not sleep for it. 1 was not fit for heavy I work, and could only do light werk about < the farm. After cutting a hedge I would 1 go quite faint, and had to ait down, and ' felt so muoh deppsed I could havo 1 cried. Having always been Buch a strong I man I took it badly to be reduced to such a .weak state. I took all Mb ot 1 physio and saw a doctor, but h's medi- j cine only eased me for a bit, and then I ( was worse than before. I went on in this way for oyer a year, when a sorvant • that came to live at Mr Roberts told me of a medicine called Mother Seigel's i Syrup, She had heard a gontleman talking about it in the railway carriage, and ho praised it so much that 1 thought I would try it. After I had taken two bottles my food did me good, and I gained strength, and by perseverir.g with the syrup I soon got as strong , as ever, and have never a : '.eil anything , since."
