In a communication dated January
Sth, 1895, Mrs. Henrietta McCallam, of
40 Downsfiefd Road, Walthamstow, near
London, states that her daughter En-
ma fell Ill in the spring of 1856 with the
same symptoms described by Miss Wal
lace. She craved food, yet when it was
placed before her she turned from il al
most with loathing "As time went on,

ter became so weak she could hardly
walk Neither home medicines nor
those of the doctors did any good. Her
sufferings continued for over eight
years.
In June, 1894, she began taking |
Mother Seigel's Syrup, sof which we
had just read in little book that was
left at the house. In q week she was
better, and in less than two months she |
was enjoying better health than ever /
before. She has since allied nothing, |
