STRONG ENGLISH WORDS.

cruciating pain, he expresses fact IN
the strongest words afforded by the
English language. The word 'eXcruci-
ating" comes from cruz, a cross, and
signifies an intensity OF agony compar
able only to that endured by one who
undergoes the barbarous punishment Of
cruciixion. There are some diseases
which, for time; cause pain of this
acute and formidable nature. To find
relief for it, when possible, is at once
the impulse of humanity and the studi-
Gus desire of science. Two brief exam
Piles may indicate what success is at
tending the effort to both comfort and
cure cases of this kind.
Nearly all my life," writes an intel
ligent woman, Il have borne the bur-
den of what appeared an incurable i'll
ness. 1 always felt heavy, weary and
tired. Ny appetite was poor, and after
eating l had cruel pain at my chest
and between the shoulders. Frequently
the pain was so intense that l was i'm
PEELED to loose my clothing and walk
about the room. My nerves were dis
ordered and impressible, and | was,
consequently, easily disquieted and up
set. My sleep was habitually bad, and
l seemed none the better for spending
a night in bed. Eating but little, my
strength waned of necessity, and
came to be very weak. For long time
got about feebly and with difficulty.
In August, 1887, l had an attack of
IL
most narrowing experience of my life
The complaint took its usual course and
refused to yield to the ordinary treat
ment Through the partial failure of
the liver and kidneys, dropsy set in and
my legs and feet became puffed and
swollen. I suffered eGcrucidting pain
and was confined to my bed for hiT-
teen ireekS. Remedies of every descrip-
tion were tried, but to little purpose.
My brother, visiting me one day,
said he had been cured of an attack of
dropsy by a medicine called Mother
Seigel's Syrup. l got bottle from Mr..
Hewett, the chemist, in Seven Sisters
Road, and after taking it fel: a trifie
easier. 1 continued taking it, and soon
the pain and swelling abatei couli
eat without pain or Inconvenience, and
by few weeks f'-rther use If the Sy-
rup l was not only free from any loca
Gilment, but felt etter than l ever did
in my life before. Since then h I'VE en-
joyed continuous good health, taking a
dose of Mother Seigel'5 Syrup occasion
ally for some transient indispositlon.

In January, 1892" writes another,
I had an attack of influenza. and was
confined to my bed for eighteen ,Geeks
thereafter Subsequently was very
weak and could get up no strength.
What little food forced down (having
no appetite) gave me e.rcr'uciGting pain,
so that was afraid to eat. l came to
be exceedingly weak and had frequent
attacks of dizziness. l was worn al
most to skeleton, and none thought
l would recover.
In June, 1892, Mr.. Smith, friend of
ours, recommended me to try Mother
Siegel's Syrup, which l at once procur-
ed of Mr.. George Coombs, the chemist
in Hucknall After taking it for only
one week I felt greatly benefited. I
could eat better, and food agreed with
me. Continuing with the Syrup grew
stronger and stronger, and soon felt
even better than before l was attacked
by the influenza You are free to print

Intense pain may or may not indi-
cate urgent danger to life, but it is hard
to bear, and very exhausting just the
same. In cases of rheumatic gout (Mrs.
Rogers) the pain is caused by poison
GUS acid in the tissues, originally pro-
duced by the decomposition of food in
the stomach-indigestion of dyspepsia.
The same poison acting on the liver
and kidneys creates the other symp-
toms mentioned. In the case of Mrs.
Halliday the ailment was dyspepsia.
which in the first place inuited infiuen-
"a, and then remained to torment her.
1t is best and easiest to prevent pain
by using Mother Siegers Syrup imme-
didtely when the slightest illness ap-
pears.
