    However, the following week I called at the hospital for her and brought her home, but , more dead than alive.” Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, of Rock Cottage, High Street, Mitcheldean, was also asked about the case, and said : “ I have known Alice Marshall from childhood, aud lived neighbour to her for five years. I saw her affliction, and helped to lift her into the carriage when going to the hospital. The day she went, her feet, legs, and even up to her stomach, was blown out like a bladder full of water. I could not draw her stockings on and she could not bend herself. I never thought she would get better^ and all who saw her thought the same.” Another neighbour, Mrs. Mary Creese, living in Silver Street, who visited Miss Marshall every day during her illness, says: “I never saw any one in my life who was so far gone and yet recovered health and strength as she has done. I helped to put her in Mr. Blewitt’s carriage when she was taken to the hospital, and it was pitiful to see the state she was in. No one thought si would come home alive. A in Mitcheldean were surprise to see her get strong am healthy. I consider that tl medicine has worked a miracle; I have used Mother Seigd Syrup in my own family, am we have benefited by it.” Still another, who has know Miss Marshall for fifteen years; and is acquainted with all th particulars of her illness, i Mr. J. C. Rudge, the grocei and wine merchant in Hig Street. It was Mr. Rudge’ mother- in -law, Mrs. Bakei who recommended Mothe Seigel’s Syrup to her. Mi Rudge says that Mrs. Marsha often cried in his shop whei telling his wife and him of he! daughter’s sufferings. He als says that on her return fror. the Hospital all in Mitcheldea; thought that she would die oil the way home. Continuing Mr. Rudge said: “ Mis Marshall is a lady whoS' word is thoroughly reliable, consider her recovery b means of Mother Seigel1 Syrup as remarkable. I knov many in the district who hav benefited by the same med cine.”
