pour out quarts of sweat every day-water,
mixed with salt and poisonous humours.

A lady, whose name we are permitted to
mention, will not soon forget the spring of
1880. 1t was then that for the first time in
her life she was afraid TO be left alone; not
from fear of enemies, but from sheer ner-
vous excitement. She Was obliged to have
elastic put into her slippers to let them out
her feet were swollen SO; and her hands we're
in the same condition. In the morning her
face would puff up and large Jumps form
uuder her eyes aud on her cheeks. Then
rash made Its appearance all over her body,
vanishing again almost Immediately, as
blush comes and goes on the face.
The suddenness of this she compares to
the sting of a wasp or hornet. An intense
itching accompanied 1t, so she could not lie
in bed or be quiet in any position on account
of it. She was in misery night and day,
and scarcely knew what TO do with herself.
Her legs got so painful and felt so tired she
WAS put to 1t to get about. For eighteen
months (it must have seemed like as many
years. she was tormented in this way.
Meanwhile she consulted two doctors, and
attended successively at the Newcastle In
firmary and at the Dispensary. But nothing
more than temporary ease came of the treat
- har ha
ed change of air, and IN August, 1891, she
went to North Sunderland. She found re-
lief at that place, but not from the air.
Now We must get back to the spring of
1880, and inquire what, If anything preced-
ed this strange outbreak. At that time, the
lady says, she first felt languid. tired, and
con stantly sleepy. she Was troubled with
bad headaches and attacks of giddiness.
Her appetite failed; she could eat but little,
and after eating had feeling of weight and
fulness at the chest and sides. Her whole
system was depressed, and the life III her
appeared to sink. as the water does in a
cistern where there exists hidden leak
somewhere. Then came what has already
been described.
At North sunderland, whittier she went
for change of air, she met a gentleman
named Cathcart, who expressed most in-
telligent opinion of her case and advised the
use of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. Con-
vinced by his reasoning she procured sup
ply of this well-known remedy and began
taking 1t.
Her letter concludes in these words:
"After had used the Syrup only few days
felt a decided improvement in all respects.
Ny appetite revived, my food digested
better, and soon the sh and Jumps entirely
disappeared to return no more. | have
since enjoyed the best of health. You are
at liberty to make my statement public il
you think it may be useful to others.

Street. Arthur's Hill, Newcastle, February
7th. 1S93.'
We congratulate this lady on her recovery
and thank her for allowing as to publish |
the above details of her experience. The
doctors called her ailment nettle rash, bot |
il was more than that. Her blood was load |
ed with poisonous acids generated by iBdi- |
gestion and dyspepsia-the same as the poi |
sons of gout and of acnte infiammatoIy
rheumatism. The irritated nerves of the |
skin produced the rash. as the clogged pores |
we're unable to excrete the poison. The
purifying power f Seigel's Syrup expelled /
this poison through the kidneys and bowels,
and by stimulating insensible perspiration
over the whole surface OF the skin.
OF this disease an English physician says: /
" When IL becomes chronic all treatment fails"
Yes, all treatment except the one which 1
cured Mrs. Charleton.
