ft. WHO IS MOTHER SEXGEL. . She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a most valuable discovery, and she is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the country, and sverybody is talking about her and asking WHAT IS MOTHER SEIGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to r?ad the thousands of tteri, something l'ke the following from Mr Perkins ; — A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. " Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Jan. 2, 1885. "Your medicine must be the most wonder- ful discover/, for during, my experience of more than twenty years. I nev^r knew any proprietary or patent medicine m such Universal favour and demand. It is simply extraordinary, and if I were to send you an account of every statement made to me m its favour, you would have to publish a separate book to contain my testimonials alone. (Signed) " Thomas J. Perkins." And then people ask — WHAT DOES MOTHER SEIGEL DO GIVES RELIEF AT..ONCK. "59. Bloomfteld road. Finitstead, "Jan. 7, 1885. " I find the sale of your medicines increases every year, and everyone speaks well of them that tries them. I know a lady that af enced the Female Hospital m Soho-square for some m»nths, with pains m back and side, and biliouy, and could tike no food, but got no benefit from any of the n.edicines they g*ve her. Before she had taken all the contents of one bottle of your syrup she fe.t relief, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Bakek." THE EFFKCT WAS MARVELLOUS. " M.dical Hall, J.-.n y 1885 "I hear people cc s.antly speaking very hichiy of S igel's Syrup. There U a case of a young married lady i < Anglesey who had been suflering from sto.uach as'hma f-t a l-» g period, who had consult d some of the best phy.sici.--ns ol he day, ! v; withou : -erivingany benefit. She was < : aily getting wor e, but at last a friend p, rsuaded her 10 try -Jei^el'ss rup She irocured a bo lie, and the effect was marvellous j she rap dy improved, a^d now sh is as strong and h^-alhy a- e er shell s been. (Mgned) "H. Llovd-J-nes." W AT IS MOTHER S IGE ! GOOD FOR ? COES NOT BESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVKS THE LiVING. Mr J. W. Savill. f Uunmow, Essex, writes, — *-e-.>tember, 1884:— "I introduced your medicines m o I'unmow almost as s^on as they were brought out m f ondon. T sold m a short time eighteen pounds' wo^th. 1 have known many graad cases of permanent cures ; and, as.yet, no case of failure. P- ot- vithstanding many competitors, Moiher •jSaigel's Syrup holds its own ground. I be- J lieve it a good medicine — it will not restore j the dead to life, but it appears to save the living from dying. A CASK OF GRAVEL CURED.' "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. "It has always given me pleasure to re- commend your 'medicines '.o my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been most satisfactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c jnstablc of the police force ol Tooting, S.VV., where 1 for many years had a shop, was a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of gravel. He was per- suaded to try 'Mother Seigel's c yrup. He purchased a bottle at my shop, and by the time he had taken half of it he reported him* self to me as quite cured. The effect was simply miraculous. (Signed) ''J. D. Florance." IS MOTHER SEIGEL RELIABLE? Would respectable chemists write like the ollowing if not? SURGICAL OPERATION AVERTED. "Ticehurst, Dec, 1884. Mr Edward Cobkr. 1 . Chemist, writes :— " Your meriicine maintains a steady sale m this district, and is well established m general favor. I know an o'd man, over seventy, who some three or four years ago was advised ..o submit to the operation for stone. He certainly was suffering from sotag distressing ' symptoms, and could scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried Seigel's Syrup, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about faiily well, and, bavin* taken three or four 2s 6d bott es, he wao completely cured. He is still about, hale and hearty for his years. If any of the symptoms of the old trouble come on, he takes a k\v doses of the Syrup, aud all is well again." WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUI MOTHER SEIGEL. AN EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS. " Cosham, Hants, Jan. 2. 1885. "My ustomers, ever a wide country dis- trict, are not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials t • s< nd ; but verbal admiration o your medicine is m the asce d- an. and my expe ie cc of forty years assures me that n otner preparation his so rapidly required a o - •puiarity, md so firmly main- tains its reputation ns Mother el's Signed) "THOMA- H.
