That Little Deaf Girl.

THAT LITTLE DEAF GIRL .

" HHHAT little deaf girl down in Norwich lias thrown more - * - light ' on the subject than all the University Professors . " So said Lord Brougham of Harriet Martineau ' s " Stories of Political Economy . " Why should the spirit of mortal be proud ? Why , indeed ?

Humility best becomes us . lo whom is wisdom likely to be given ? Nobody can fortell that . When the eminent statesmen are all at sea as to how to save the country , or the learned physicians at a dead loss as how to cure some dreadful diseasewhat then is apt to happen ? The unexpected , of course . Out

of the mouth of some political suckling jn'oceeds a suggestion which inspires the Ministry ; or from the pen of some writer who never saw the inside of a medical college flows a series of

facts and ideas which pave the way to the discovery of the right treatment . Great treasures are not commonly found by those who seek them , nor are valuable truths always revealed to cultivated brains .

More than twenty years ago a woman in Germany who had never been known—but that pivbably belongs later on in this article . Let it wait .

First comes Mrs . Sarah Cooper ' s letter , which runs thus : — " All my life I have never been strong . I felt low , weak , and languid . My appetite was poor , and after meals 1 had pain across the chest , and I was much swollen and puffed at the stomacli and around the waist . From time to time T suffered

from pain at the heart and windy spasms . I spat up a quantity of thick phlegm , and had a short , irritating cough . " As time went on I got extremely weak , and at one time I had strength for nothing , and spoke in a whisper . In a low ,

weak state I continued year after year , so retimes better and then worse , but never properly well . I consulted a doctor , and took various kinds of medicines , but got no better until , in tho summer of 1881 , I read in a little book about Mother Seigel ' s Syrujj , and determined to try it .

" After taking one bottle of this medicine I found wonderful relief . I could eat well , food agreed with me , and I gained strength . I continued with it and got stronger and stronger , and by taking it occasionally I keep in good health . "Before taking the Syrup I never thought I should live . Two of my sons have been restored by it from serious illness .

That Little Deaf Girl.

In the case of the younger many thought he was in a decline . Mother Seigel ' s Syrup soon put him in sound health . I have recommended it to many persons in this district ; who were cured by it after other means had failed . You may publish this statement , and refer any one to me . ( Signed ) Sarah

Cooper , wife of Mr . George Cooper , baker , High Street , Woodville , Btirton-on-Trent , August Gth , 189 G . " " For over ten years , " says another , " I suffered from indigestion and liver complaint . I felt low and depressed . My appetite was poor , and after eating I had p . iiu ia tho chest and

between tho shoulders . I was always able to attend to my business , but found it difficult to do so . In this state I continued for years , now better , now worse . I took different medicines , but received no benefit from them . In August , 1890 , I was advised to try Mother Seigel ' s Syrup . After taking one bottle

I found considerable relief . I had no pain after meals , and tho pain between the shoulders ceased . Since then , if I feel anything the matter with me , a few doses always relieve me . I commend it to my customers . Yon can publish this statement if you think fit . ( Signed ) Harry Seamark , grocer , Frederick Street , Woodville , Burton-on-Trent , August Gth , 189 ( 3 . "

Move than twenty years ago , a woman in G-ermany , who had never been known , save for her personal goodness and her skill as a nurse , accidentally discovered tho elements of the medicine which has since made her name familiar to all the world . The writers of tho above letters have mentioned it , and

it is daily praised in all lands by pens , tongues , and typos . What the learned doctors could not do this humble , modest woman did—she cured dyspepsia , with its deplorable consequences . Who can estimate the good she has done—the trouble and suffering she has driven from a myriad hearts and

homes—the happiness and health she has established in their places ? As Lord Brougham said of " that little deaf girl down in Norwich" so we may say of this other clear-sighted and true-souled woman—she has thrown more li ght on the subject ( of disease and how to cure it ) than all the doctors .

Was it genius ? or was it simply Providence ? I cannot tell , and it does not matter . We need never know whoso hand took the silver from the mine , but tho coined shilling buys meat , just the same .
