WHO IS MOTHER SEIGEL. She is a lady, who by the merest accident has made a most viluabk discovery, and she is creating the wildest enthusiasm all over the country, and •verybody is talking about her and asking "WHAT IS MOTHER SF.IGEL'S REPUTATION? And she tells them to r*ad the thousands of ttew, something l»ke the following from Mr Perkins : — A WONDERFUL TESTIMONIAL. "Grove Pharmacy, Ealing, W., Tan 2, -88;. •• Your medicine must be the most wonder- ful discovery, for during my experience of more than twenty years. I nevsr 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 SETGEL DO GIVES RELIEF AT ONCE. " 59, Bloomfteld road Fkmst*ad, ••Jan. 7, »88S. " I find the sale of your medicines increases every year, and everyone speaks well o f them that tries them. I know a lady th t aten ed the Female Hospital m foho-square for some xnvnths, with pains m back and side, and biious, and could tike no food, but got no benefit from any of the medicines they g<ve her. Before she had taken all the contents of one bottle of your syrup she fe.t reli-f, and is now quite well. (Signed) "W. K. Bake*." THE EFFECT WAS MARVELLOUS "M.dical Hall, Bangor, Jan. 5. 1885 "I hear people constantly speaking very highly of Seigel s Syrup. There is a case of a young married lady m Anglesey who had been suffering from stomach asthma foi a 1<» g period, who had consulted some of the best physicians of the day, but without deriving any benefit. She was ffaily getting wor e, but at last a friend persuaded her to try Seigel's s> rup. She procured a bottle, and the effect was marvellous ; she rap dly improved, and now she~is as strong and heahhy as e»er she h. s been. (Signed) "H. Lloyd-Jonks." i WHAT IS MOTHFR SEIGET. GOOD FOR? POKS NOT RESTORE THE DEAD, BUT SAVES THtt LIVING. Mr J. W. Savill. f Duntnow, Essex, writes, — September, 1884:— "I introduced your medicines hro Punmow almost as soon as they were brought out m London. T sold m a short time eighteen pounds' wonh. I have known many grand cases of permanent cures ; and, as yet, no case of fa-lure. • ot- wit>istanding many competitors, Mother Seigel's Syrup hoi as its own ground. I be- lieve it a good medicine— it will not restore the dead to life, but it appears to .save the living from dying. A CASK OF GRAVEL CURKD. 1 "Feltham, Jan. 6. 1885. •• It has 'always given me pleasure to re- commend your medicines '.0 my customers, and the results of their use have invariably been most satiifactory. I could furnish you many testimonials. One case just now occurs to my mind. A c jnstablc of the police force of Tooting, S. <A., where I for many years had a shop, was a patient of mine, suffering from a bad attack of t ravel. He was per- , suaded to try ' Mother Seigel's Pyrup. ' He purchased a bottle at my shop, am 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 following if not? SURGICAL OPKRATI N AVERTED. '•Ticehurst, Dec, 1&84. Mr Erw/iRD Cofkk. Chemist, writes :— ** Your me icine 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 foui years ago was auvised to submit to the operation for stone. He certain'y was suffering from some distressing symptoms, and rould scarcely walk. Instead of taking that advice he tried v eigel's Syru •, with the result that, after one bottle, he could walk about fairly wdl, and, bay n,j taken three or four 2s 61 bolt es, he was completely cured. He is sii 1 about, hale and hearty for hi* years. If any of the symptoms of the old trouble come on, he takes a few doses of the Syrup, a«id al! is well again." WHAT PEOFLE SAY ABOUI MOTHER SEIGEL. AN EXPERIENCE OF FORTY YEARS. " Cosham, Hants, Jan. 2 1885. "My customers, <ver a wide country dis- trict, are not very demonstrative, and I have no written testimonials t--» send ; but verbal admiration o* your medicine is m the ascc d- ant, and my experience of forty years assures me that no other preparation has so rapidly acquired a popularity, and so firmly main- tains its reputation as Mother Sefrel's Syrup.
