in principle. is not the correct solution, as
the eggs must be sold per egg and not per
dozen.

10 eggs sold them at 10 cents each, receiy-
ing one dollar. The one who had 80 eggs
sold dozen at 20 cents a dozen, say 70

The one who had so eggs sold dozen at Is

Woman from Austria.

A Woman from Austria.
Near the village of Zilling-
dorf, 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.
II was employed" she says,
GIN the work Of a large farm
house. Oyerworx brought con
sick headache, followed by a
deathly fainting and sickness
Of the stomach, until I was
unable to retain either food or
drink. / was compelled to
take to my bed for several
weeks. Getting 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 q cough
and shortness Of breath, until
finally I could not sew, and |
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 [
happened to get one Of the Sci:
gel pamphlets. l read it, and
ny dear mother bought me a
bottle of SE1GEL's SYRUP,

which I took exactly according
to directions, and l had not
taken the whole Of it before l
felt a change for the better. Ny
last illness began June Sd,
1882, and continued to August
9Th, when / began to take the
Syrup. Very soon | could DO a
little light work. The cough
left me, and / was no more

tell you that the doctors in our
district distributed handbills
cautioning the people against
the medicine, telling them it
would do no good, and many
were thereby Influenced to de-,
stroy the Seigel pamphlets; but
now, whenever one is to be
found, it is kept like a relic.
The few preserved are bor-
rowed 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, know
ing that it cured me, and to be
sure to get the right kind. I
know a woman who was look
ing like death, and who told
them there was no help for her,
that she had consulted several
doctors, but none could help
her. ! 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
neighborhood that people say
they don't want the doctor any
more, bat they take the Syrup.
