If Eating were a Crime. ; There was a time when Mrs. Hayes considered herself to be what she calls " a gone woman.' She actually divided her clothes and other personal effects among her chudren. Thank Goodness—but here is her story, told in her own way ;by all odds the best way. J J "Three years ago," she says, " I had dreadful pains across the left side of my stomach and under the shoulder-blades. My left side swelled up fearfully. I was laid up weeks at a time, work being out of the question. While these fits were on I could neither walk sit or stand with comfort. ' "I wan really ashamed to let the neighbors see me crawling about ; so I spent most ot my t ime lying down or leaning against something to ease the dreadful pains ' I have been a hard-working woman all my life, but now I lost my strength and dreaded to e^t anything, knowing the woeful suffering J was sure to experience afterwards as if eating were somehow a crime against the laws of nature. And at night I rolled and tossed about instead of sleeping. " The doctor said it was indigestion and no doubt he was right, but he was not able to relieve me. " I considered myself ' a gone woman ' and told my husband I was sure I could not last much longer. Indeed I was so fully persuaded of this, that I actually divided my clothes and personal effects among my children. "Thank Goodness and Mother Seigel's Syrup I have since worn out most of them myself. " After a lot of coaxing and argument (for I was tired of trying things, and hope had about died away in my heart) I consented to take Seigel's Syrup. " I was not quite sure of the effect of the first bottle but my husband insisted on my going on with it. So I did go on with it, and after I had got through half the second bottle there was no doubt of the result. I was much bettbr ; I felt it, and others could Bee it. "It was hardly short of a miracle, the way Seigel's Syrup brought me round. From a poor, weak, and wretched woman, unable to walk or scarcely to raise my hand to do the smallest piece of work, it gave me back health and strength, restored me to my husband and family, enabled me to go on with my work once more, and, in short, made me as well as ever I was in my life. "lam now upwards of 60, and have reared a large family. I have lived in the district about 37 years, and am well-known here." (Mrs.) Julia Hayes, Mount Kieia, Paradise, near Wollongong, N.S.W., October 14th, 1899. Mr. John Hickey, blacksmith, at the same plaoe, writes that he has known Mrs. Hayes all his life, and (in common with many others) knows her statement to be true. He adds that she is respected by everyone.
