Almost Incredible—Yet True.

ALMOST INCREDIBLE—YET TRUE .

IS it incredible that an illness of fourteen years should be cured in two months ? Some may say it is impossible . But why is it impossible ? A . liro that lias been blazing and smouldering alternately for fifty years may be completely extinguished in an hour . The most thorough and permanent

reforms that ever took place in human affiars have been comparatively sharp and sudden . I tell you that when the right forces get to work at certain kinds of evils , the element of time hardly enters into the calculation . In some parts of America , for

instance , the tremendous change from winter to summer practically occurs in two or three weeks . Every statement in the annexed letter has been carefully verified , yet in the middle ages the result would have been attributed to no power less than a power able to work miracles : —

"In the summer of 1875 , " says tho writer , " after my confinement , I took a cold chill and failed to get up my strength . Cold , clammy chills broke over me , and I felt too exhausted to stir hand or foot . I had a had taste in the mouth and my

tongue was coated with slimy matter . I had no appetite , and after every bit of food I ate I had pain at tho chest and a sinking feeling at tho pit of tho stomach . My breathing was short and labored , and I had to bo propped up with pillows .

* My knees and feet were swollen , being puffed up like a bladder ; and after a time they broke out . For months I lay in led unable to do anything ; aud at other times I could barely walk about the house . I slept badly at night , and got little rest night or day .

"Forfourteen years 1 continued in this low miserablettate ; sometimes feeling better , aud then as bad as ever ; but all the time in pain . I saw doctor after doctor and took medicine . '' of

all kinds , but nothing did me any good . "Often I was so bad I thought I should die , and was attended by tlie doctors and clcnjy . All my friends and neighbours believed I would never get better .

"In August 1889 , a book was sent to mo by post , in which I read about Mother Seigel ' s Curative Syrup , and the good it had done many other persons . The book described my own ailment , and I then resolved to give the remedy a trial . I sent to Messrs .

Almost Incredible—Yet True.

Gratton and Co ., the chemists , at Belfast , for a supply ; and , after taking it a short time , I felt it was doing me good . First I could eat well , and the food agreed with me ; and my breathing was easier . " On this , I pernevered with the medicine , and gradually but

surely I grew stronger ; and in two months was in good health , all the pain and depression having left me . I have since been well , keeping Mother Seigel ' s Syrup in the house as a family

medicine •and it always maintains us in health . This remedy has saved my life . You are at liberty to publish my statement , and refer any inquiries to me . " ( Signed ) Jane Usher Aghadalgon , Grlenlavy , near Lisburn , Ireland , August 17 th > 1897 .

This most remarkable case of cure is well known throughout the district in which it took place . The lady is the wife of Mr . Robert Usher , grocer and publican , aud both are highly respected in the Aghadalgon district . Mrs . Usher states that

since her wonderful restoration to health , the medicine which did its work is to be found in every house in the district , and in every instance it has benefited the persons with whom she has spoken . Both she and her husband tell their friends aud customers of what it did for them .

Here we have a case of chronic dyspepsia , with profound complications , of fourteen years' standing , cured in two months . It seems amazing—it is amazing—yet it is every word true . Other medicines failed , for the simple reason that they were not the right ones for the disease . Mother Seigel's Syrup triumphed ,

as it were in a moment , because it was the ri ght medicine , lt had power over the disease , as water has over fire , or as sunlight and heat have over the darkness and damps of night . Beyond this point all is a mystery . But what of that ? Life itself is a mystery ; and so are all things that concern and promote it .

Iho practical fact is , that Mother Seigel ' s Syrup crushes out disease when other treatment is vain , and snatches from death thousands who , without it , would soon close their weary eyes in the sleep that knows no waking . That is why ( like Mrs . Usher ) they spread its fame wherever illness and pain cry out for succour .
