Death Expected When The Trees Put On Their Green.

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 . Gettinar a little better from rest and

quiet , I 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 . This 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 1 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 I 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 me 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 hardly 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 by 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 ourplace 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 ' s Syrup . " MARIA HAAS .

T \ R . SPARK'S LIBER MUSICUS ¦ * " ^ is now published in a CHEAP , PORTABLE FORM , BOUND IN CLOTH , with gilt edges , AT THE PRICE OF TEN SHILLINGS . the large handsome folio copy being 42 s . These valuable and useful musical works containing 118 Musical Compositions suitable for All the Ceremonies of the Masonic Order ; First , Second , and Third Degrees ; Consecration and Dedication of Halls and Lodges ; Programmes , Toasts , Songs , Trios , Choruses , & c , for Banquets and other Festive Gatherings ; Laying Foundation or Corner Stones ; Installation ; Mark Masonry ; Royal Arch ; Masonic Funerals ; Voluntaries , Marches , 8 zc , Src , are Dedicated by express permission to H . R . H . the Prince of Wales , Past and Present Grand Master of England and Wales , and is recommended by the leaders of the Craft throughout the country . From " The Freemason , " March 22 nd , 1884 . " This is a more compact and cheaper edition of a wellknown and very useful work for lodges and brethren . For some time past a tendency has been happily increasing amongst us to develope and utilize the elevating and sympathetic influences of music in our lodge ceremonials and lodge gatherings . We feel sure , after a long apprenticeship , that our very effective ritual can be rendered still more striking and impressive , if under due carefulness and proper control we employ the always beneficial aid of the soft influences of harmony , alike symbolical and realistic . It is undoubtedly true from the happy and appropriate " morceaux " which still survive amongst us , that music was once cultivated , more than it has been in the present century at any rate , in our Masonic meetings . ******** The " Liber Musicus " is so well known to many in a larger form that it requires no eulogy of ours ; but we shall all concede the fact , that Bro . Spark has discovered , adopted , and adapted numerous most effective and charming melodies , which will linger on " attuned ears" for many a day , and will add distinctly to the dignity , beauty , and simplicity of our old and cherished ceremonial .
