Death Expected When The Trees Put On Their Green. A Woman's Sufferings And Gratitude. The People Amazed. A Voice From Austria.

DEATH EXPECTED WHEN THE TREES PUT ON THEIR GREEN . A WOMAN'S SUFFERINGS AND GRATITUDE . THE PEOPLE AMAZED . A VOICE FROM AUSTRIA .

Near the village of Zillingdorf , in Lower Austria , lives Maria Haas , an intelligent and industrious woman , whose story of physical suffering and final relief , as related by

herself , is of interest to English women . " I was employed , she says , "in the work of a large farmhouse . Overwork brought on sick headache , followed by a deathly fainting and sickness of the stomach , until I was unable to retain either food or drink . I was compelled to take to my bed for several weeks . Getting a little better from rest and quiet , 1 sought to do some work , but was soon taken with a pain in my side , which in a little while seemed to spread

over my whole body , and throbbed in my every limb . I his was followed by a cough and shortness of breath , until finally I could not sew , and I took to my bed for the second , and , as I thought , for the last time . My friends told me that my time had nearly come , and that I could not live longer than when the trees put on their green once more . Then I happened to get one of the Seigel pamphlets . I read it , and my dear mother bought me a bottle of Seigel's

Syrup , which I took exactly according to directions , and I had not taken the whole of it before I felt a great change for the better . My last illness began June 3 rd , 1 SS 2 , and continued to August 9 th , when I began to take the Syrup . Very soon I could do a little light work . The cough left me , and I was no more troubled in breathing . Now I am perfectly cured . And oh , how happy I am ' . I cannot express gratitude enough for Seigel ' s Syrup . Now I must

tell you that the doctors in our district distributed handbills cautioning people against the medicine , telling them it would do them no good , and many were thereby influenced to destroy the Seigel pamphlets ; but now , wherever one is to be found , it is kept like a relic . The few preserved are borrowed to read , and 1 have lent mine for six miles around our district . People have come eighteen miles to get me to buy the medicine for them , knowing that it cured me ,

and to be sure to get the right kind , I know a woman who was looking like death , and who told ine there was no help for her , that she had consulted several doctors , but none could help her . I told her of Seigel ' s Syrup , and wrote the name down for her that she might make no mistake . She took my advice and the Syrup , and now she is in perfect health , and the people around us are amazed . The medicine has made such progress in our neighbourhood that

people say they don't want the doctor any more , but they take the Syrup . Sufferers from gout , who were confined to their bed and could hardl y move a finger , have been cured by it . There is a girl in our district who caught a cold by going through some water , and was in bed five years with costiveness and rheumatic pains , and had to have an attendant to watch hy her . There was not a doctor in the surrounding districts to whom her mother had not applied to relieve her child , but every one crossed

themselves and said they could not help her . Whenever the little bell rang , which is rung in our place when somebody is dead , we thought surely it was for her , but Seigel ' s Syrup and Pills saved her life , and now she is as healthy as anybody , goes to church , and can work even in the fields . Everybody was astonished when they saw her out , knowing how many years she had been in bed . To-day she adds her gratitude to mine for God's mercies and Seigel ' r Syrup . " MARIA HAAS .
