THEY CREEP ON US UNAWAREs

Thousands of the good people who
read these articles have grey hairs in
plenty. Are you one of them? II so,
do you remember when you saw the
first grey hair-on Your head, or in
your beard, as the case may have been d?
1t was natural enough; time is a
bleacher, as well as a dyer; yet the
discovery was surprise, perhaps a
shock to YOU. You didn't see that grey
hair coming. All at once-it was
there.
Now behold how many worse things
are like that, and learn a valuable
| lesson.
Up to March, 1891" says Mr.. John
Murray, Il never had any illness in my
life. Then, suddenly, as 1T were,
felt that something was wrong with
me. At first i had an awful bitter
taste in the mouth, and after eating
i had a pain at the chest and a hor-
rlble sensation at the stomach, as OF
hot iron burning me.
Il vomited all the food partook of,
| and sometimes | threw up blood.
Nothing ! ate would remain on my
stomach more than few minutes, and
| was AFRAID to take any solid food.
Even milk and Stops distressed me.
Being unable to leave the house
sent for a doctor, who said that my
stomach was liberated. He gave me
medicines of different kinds, and
recommended applications; but moth
ing gave me any relief, and / grew
worse and worse.
In spite of the soothing drops
took | got no sleep night or day. The
pain was so severe ! could not lie down
in bed.
After four months suffering | was
removed to the Grantown Hospital,
where l had the best medical treat
ment and diet. | was fed solely on
liquid food, and my stomach was so
inflamed and sore that / threw up
most OF 1t. After five weeks in the
hospital ! was worse than ever and
returned home. There fingered on in
great pain and weakness month after
month. ! was now pale as death, and
so weak ! could not draw one foot
after the other.
Il had given up all hopes Of recov-
cry, and was gradually wasting away,
expecting no relief except in death,
which l thought could not be far away.
This was in February, 1892. It was
then l first heard OF Mother Seigel's
Curative Syrup, and made up my mind
TO see whether there could possibly
be any virtue in il for so desperate a
case as mine.
Not being able to procure the Syrup
in our neighborhood my son wrote to
London for a supply. 1t may seem
hard to believe, but 1t is true, that the
first few doses gave me welcome relief
Continuing to take IL ] was soon able
to take nourishing food, and felt my
strength coming back. After a little
all pain left me, and have never allied
anything since; but can follop the
hounds dnd-do any kind Of ,cork.
II thank my Creator for making
without 1t l should now be in my
grave. ! tell everybody that 1t saved
my life. You are welcome to publish
this to all the world. (Signed) John
