will agree After you have read the following letter as many times as I have, you the writer of it that Mary Hogan did, under the circumstances described, come * near, poor girl, to a lodging in the churchyard as anyone could and yet finally escape going there. Her mother tells the story. By comparing the dates named see how much time the story-short as it is covers. Every woman in the land at: has children at home will read it with strong interest and pity. For it is the nobilis of mothers that they care more for the young ones in the domestic nest than theç do for themselves.

"I had a doctor attending her, who ordered me to wrap her hands and set in cotton wadding. He gave her medicine which eased her for a short time, and then she had a relapse. The doctor did all he could for my poor girl, but she lingered on until June, 1894, when he gave her a certificate and she was admitted into St. Mary's Hospital, Nenagh. *There she was treated by three doctors, but at the end of three weeks she so bad that I removed her home. I now gave up all hope of her ever getting better and all who saw her thought her time had come. She was now reduced to a and could not even bear a muslin handkerchief to touch her. And she perspired s much that in three weeks the sweat rotted two bedticks. • Again and again we thought she was dying, and she was (received the last rites of the Church) six times. One day in October, 1895, I was in Mr. Kenny's shop at Templederry, and gave me a small book telling about Mother Seigel's Syrup; and I read in it of die like my daughter's having been cured by this medicine.
