Power To Walk Restored.

POWER TO WALK RESTORED .

fT ! HE use of the legs , arms , or indeed , any other movable part or parts of our bodies , comes to be so habitual , natural , and easy , that we are apt to be astonished when anything seriously interferes with it . For example , although we have no trouble to understand now one may lose the power to walk , by means of

accident ot injury , it is not so piam when the cause is obscure and invisible . For such a cause is ahvays a nervous one , and the action or non-action of the nerves is a subject involved in considerable mystery , even to the wisest students of those marvellous sources of feeling and motion .

Experience , however , has shown that nervous derangements affecting , either temporarily or permanently , the most useful of our muscles , may arise from a blood poison , such as that of gout or rheumatism , although acting in a different way . More or less

complete paralysis is commonly due to blood poison , either communicated irom without or engendered by abnormal processes within the system , the latter being by far the most frequent occurrence . The means used for relief or cure must , of course ,

be addressed to the cause of the blood impurities which thus interfere with the working of the nerves . The following interesting ancl important letter will help to throw light upon the point : —

"In March , 1893 , " writes a lady , " my daughter Elizabeth Jane ( then eleven years old ) had an attack of measles . After this she could not get up her strength . She was weary , weak ,

and languid . Her appetite was poor , and she scarcely ate anything solid . I gave her beef-tea , chicken , & c , but no food seemed to nourish her or give her strength .

" She complained of a gnawing pain at the stomach , which was worse after partaking of food . She got weaker every day , and I soon noticed she stooped and could not straighten herself . " Fearing that something was wrong with her spine , I had a doctor to attend her . He gave her medicines and cod-liver oil ,

and ordered her to the sea-side . I took her to Larne , but the change , together with hot sea bathing , did her no good . She got so bad she could not walk , and had to use crutches to move about .

" As the doctor could do her no good , I took her to a specialist at Belfast , but nothing helped her . She continued for a year in this distressing state , when I read in a book about Mother Seigel's Syrup and Plasters . I got two plasters and placed one

at the lower part of the back and the other along the spine . I gave her the Syrup according to the directions , and in a few weeks she was greatly improved . She could eat well , and her food agreed with her , and gave her strength .

" Every day we saw an improvement ; and after having taken two bottles she was completely cured and put aside her crutches . Since that time she has been in the best of health ,

and is as straight as any one . For the benefit of others , I consent to your publishing this statement , and you may refer anyone to me ; " ( Signed ) Ann Jane Marshall , Ballyalbanagh , Ballyclare , near Belfast , August 24 th , 1 S 07 .

The young girl ' s father , Mr . David Marshall , is a large farmer and esteemed by all ' who know him . Mrs . Marshall informs us that people came from all around to ask what cured

her daughter , and she was very glad to tell them . At the date of this writing—three and one half years after her recovery-Miss Marshall is a strong , health y girl , and has had no return of her disease or of the spinal weakness .

It is only needful to add that in Miss Marshall ' s case the measles ( as often happens with that ailment of childhood ) was complicated with a digestive trouble , which afterwards developed into profound nervous dyspepsia , the humours from which entered

thc blood and caused the muscular collapse which crippled her for a time . In expelling these impurities and in renewing her digestive powers , Mother Seigel's Syrup restored her strength , and furnished one more proof of its ability to cure diseases which afflict us .
