An Indescribable Sensation.

To be easily described a thing must have clear outlines and unmixed colours. In other words it must be simple. A rent m one's clothing, a boil on one's body, a tumble while walkiDp, the shape of a box, &c, .are easily set forth m words. On the contrary the . complex and comprehensive things puzzle the mind and take the meaning from language. It was for this reason thab Miss Sabina Mitchell, alluding to ah experience of illness says : "At this time there came upon me an inaescribab'e sensation. It was as if the powers of life were going to fail me, and I should sink down without help, as a stone sinks m water. Yet m saying this I convey no adequate idea' of the nature of thai; feel ing. I hope I shall uever have it again. " The illness which led to it began m the spriDg of 1892. My health appeared to give way all at once. I found myßelf tired, heavy, and feeble. My appetite was poor, and after eating I had much distress at the stomach aud pain at the chest and sides. My strength gradually declined and I became very low, weak, and nervous j and it was when m this condition that I felt the indescribable sensation I have spoken of. " I soon became so depressed m body and mind that it was with great labor and strain that I attended to my business. I was extremely down-hearted and feeble, and none of the many medicines I tried did me any real good. In December, 1892, Mother Seigel's Syrup was commended to mo, and I began using it with, I confess, small confi dence. But after having taken it for a few days I felt wonderful relief. My appetite improved, and eating no longer gave me pain A short time afterwards the Syrup proved its value m ohe matter of my disordered nerves. The nervousness disappeared with my increasing strength. Nowadays, when ever I need any medicine, a few doses of Mother Seigel's Syrup quickly set me right. Halving had so convincing an experience of what it can do, I recommend it to all my friends and customers. You can-make such use as you like Tof this letter. (Signed), (Miss) Sabina Mitchell, Marcham-le-Fen, Boston, Lines, May 17th, 1895." "In March, 1892," writes another lady, "my health began to give way. I had lost my energy, and was languid and heavy m feeling. I had a sense of faintnes& and dizziness that was almost oonstant, and occasional spells of sinking which I cannot describe. Hot and cold flushes came over me, my mouth tasted badly, and after eating I had a feeling at the chest like the pressure of an actual load upon it. I never seemed rested, and awoke m the morning more tired than when I went to bed. I was also much troubled with wind or gas from the stomach, and raised a sour, biting fluid. " In this manner I continued to Buffer for nearly two years, no medicine that I took giving me any relief. In January, 1894, I got a small book and read m it of cases like mine having been cured by Mother. Seigel's Curative Syrup. I immediately procured the medicine from Boots' Drug Stores, and after taking it' about ten days felt much better. I could eat something nourishing without any pain following, 1 kept on with the Syrup and was soon m my former good health once more. You have my permission to make thiß statement public. (Signed) (Mrs) Ann Shaw, 174, Bran? ley Road, Batsmoor, Sheffield, March Bth, 1895." Touching the indescribable sensation alluded to by both ladies, an eminent medical author says ; "It is syncope without the losb of consciousness. The Bufferer has the keenest realisation of the bitterness of dissolution. I have seen stalwart men unnerved and shaken by such experiences till they trembled like aspen leaves." The cause is an acid poison m the blood produced by indigestion or dyspepsia. The rsmedy is' to purify tbe blood with Mother Seigel's Syrup, and to tone the stomach m the same way. Use the Syrup on the approach of the earliest signs of weakness.
