But God raised up friends who helped TO

being without avail he visited London
with sort of vague hope that some adj

using it according 10 the directions. He
did this without any faith or hope, and
the public may, therefore, Judge OF his
surprise and pleasure when after taking
few doses he felt great relief. Hecould eat
better, his food distressed him less, the
symptoms we have named abated. the
dark spots which had foated before his
eyes like smuts OF SCOT gradually disap-
peared, and his strength increased. Before
this time his knees would knock together
whenever he tried to walk. So encouraged
was he now that he kept on using Mother
Seigel's Curative Syrup until it ended in
completely curing him.
In speaking OF his wonderful recovery
Mr. Richold says it made him think OF

sea; and added, But for Mother Seigel's
Curative Syrup the grass would now be

Our readers can rest assured OF the strict
truth Of all the statements in this most re-
markable case, as Mr.. Richold (now resid-
ing at Swiss Cottage, Walton-on-the-Naze, }
belongs to one of the oldest and most re-
spected families in the beautiful village of
Long Melford, Suffolk. and his personal
character is attested by so high an au-
thority as tne Rev. G.. ]. Martyr. We
have deemed the case OF such importance
to the public as TO justify us in giving this
short account of it in our columns.
