A WELL-KNOWN BUSINESS MAIII
EXPERIENCE,
"In 1869 I was kicked in the leg by a horse, but before I
fully recovered from this, rheumatism came upon me f?r_
the first time in my life, Shortly after this, I moved I°
Wales, and while there through exposure to all kinds el
weather, my rheumatism greatly increased in severitY 82„
my system became very weak, and 1 suffered from cddgC
and indigestion. Then smallpox fell upon me and thodifir
I survived while it proved fatal to many hundreds, 18
lt,.:t
me very weak indeed, and my general illness after
baffled the skill of many doctors. Subsequently, I toolc
deathly chill, and tnen you may be sure I had rheumida.Bl
more severely still. The doctors told me the chill n't
been in my system fer two years or more. I trace it bOl
to near the time of the smallpox. This was in time PA
lowed by rheumatic fever and enlargement of the liver
the effects, as I believe, of that nearly fatal chill. Than
had a severe attack of palpitation of the heart, and vid9._
laid prostrate for a month, and for three months thereat"'
I was obliged to creep up and down stairs. I was ill nidAir:
or less continually for another eighteen Months. If I rhe
work a fortnight after a manner I was sure to lose

each declaring me incurable. My sickness and acute
ferings covered a period of more than eight years prior d
1883, when I heard of Seigel's Syrup. I tried it, dr:,
through its use I am thankful to ba able to say that I
very soon restored to health, and have ever since been
able to follow my usual occupation. I kept the medieldrae
constanily by me, and if at any time I imagine a sytePt4
of recurrence of either of my former complaints, at od,ol
