An incident which recalls this experience to the writor's mind happened n short time aao hero in England. Suppose wo let tho gentleman interested tell his own story, Be says; "1 havo suffered mure or loss from indigestion and dyspo|»ia nil my life. Iliad a bad tastoin tho mouth, pain aftor eating, a poor appetite, and sour stanach, My tonguo was coated, and my mouth constantly tilled with a watory fluid. No matter what I ato,-howover light, it disagreed with mo and gave mo pain, I had fulness of the chest, and pain at my side, with a miserable low, dull feeling, From time to time I consulted a doctor' who gave me medicines, but they did very little good, The doctor said that tho coating of my stomach vyis disordered, and the mooous membrano was inflamed. In 1877 I received a pamphlet from New York telling of a medicino called Motbor Scigol's Curative Syrup, and of the extraordinary cures io had effected, so I proourod a supply, and after taking the first I folt better, and by tho time I. had takonfour bottles more, 1 was completely cured, and have been in good health, as regards tho indigestion, over since, Having studied the practice of herbs for many years, I was in the habit of 'treating people for erysipelas and other complaints, and was frequently consulted by people in the district, bo after my remarkable euro, I was so imprtssed with the merits of Seigel'B Syrup, that I procured a largo supply of the medicine, and recommended it to all who were suffering, and pooplo caino from far und near for it, 1 may montion that on a Sunday my house was besieged by miners from Coal Pit Heath, and others from a distance, On every hand I hoard nothing but the loudest praise of tho euros : it effected, and tho fame of this medicine was spread throughout the West of England with no other advertising than one party telling another of tho benefit they have derived from this wonderful medicine. I wish everyone to know of this, and if by publishing tins statement it will help others alio may be suffering as 1 was, it will afford nw pleasure,"

The letter from which tho foregoing is an extract is signed Moses Gudwm, Old Sodbury (Sodbury), Gins, and is dated April 9th, 1891. He is a farmer. Tho reader will notice that while the headquarters fur tho salo of Mother Seigel's Syrup is universally known to bq in London, by a. strange chance Mr Godwin's firat information concerning it capo from America, three thousand miles away, winch recalls the incident nf tho. American blizzard above nanatcd, and also shows that the famo and usefulness of this medicine oxtends to all civilised countries.

Mr Benjamin Edgerton, grocer and provision dealer, Plat Lano. Whisall, Whitchurch, Salop, says: " While liviog with Mr Roberta, Fens Wood Farm, I first began to feel a dull heavy weight at my side, ana noLioed a bad taste in ray mouth with foul stomach and uncomfortable feoling after eating. I had no appetite, and when I sat down to the table I oould not touch the food, I had a gooi deal of pain aud nuise in the head, and could not sleep for it. 1 was not fit' for heavy work, and could only do light werk about the faun. Alter cutting a I would go quite faint, and had to sit down, and felt bo much depressed I could have cried. Having always hcen such a strong man I took it badly to bo reduced'to such a weak state. I took all kinds ot physic and saw a doctor, but his medicine only eased me fora bit/and then I was worse than before. I went on in this way for over a year, when a servant that came to live at Mr Huberts told me of a medicine called Mother Soigel's Byrup, She had heard a gentleman talking about it in the railway carriage, and he praised it so much that I thought I would try it. After I.had taken two bottlesmy food did me good, and Igained strength, and by pcrseverir.g with the syrup I soon got as strong as ever, and havo never ailed anything since,"
