A Veteran Nurse's Letter

Mrs Scold, of Brunswick, Talks About Mother Seigel’s Syrup and its Outing Power.

The wonde.sof one age are .the everyday things of another. If two centum] ago a »n*n hid shown au excellent photograph of some we 1-knowu person witnout first explaining the process by which lie had been able to procure it, he would surely have been burnt as a wizard in any Europem country, if, when easy-tempeivd, stupid George ill ascended the English throne in 1760, anyone had declared that a conversa-r tiou could be carric I on between two persona as far apart as the cities of Melbourne and Sydney he would have promptly have betn considered lit ror a lunatid asylum. But we must not laugh too readily at our ancestors, for even in these “ advanced ” days we have n6t entirely emerged from the fog of unthinking tins belief.

But the opinion of a veteran expert is beyond suspicion. To say that Nurse Sadie Scott, of I, Station Street, Bruns* wick, Victoria, is a veteran in her profession, at the head in skill aud experience, is merely saying what is well known in Brunswick, North Carlton, Fitz’Oy and P.eston. Now in her sixty-liftu yeir, but in appearance fully twenty years younger than that, Mrs Scott hj s gained her unrivalled experience in England, Scotland* New Zealand, and our u wn country, where her services are much in rtquest by the leading surgeons ot Melbourne, The opinion, of such a pe on upon any meiica matter could not tail ti oe of real value. Here is what Nurse Scott has to say, under the date of A Dill 15th, 1905, of Mother Svigel’a Curative Syrup:— 4 “Speaking as a tra nod surgical nurse, wi f h the accumulated experience of forty years, I say that Mother Seigel’s Syrup is the best medicine in the wot Id for use at the two most critic.*! periods in a woman's life. Taken af the right time, it dispels pi in, and often averts years of iil-health and suffering. Ju oases ot indigestion and dyspepsia, how.ever produced, it gives almost immediate relief, removes constipa* diou and biliousness, ensures regular action of the liver and bowels, enriches and puritiea the blood, and in all respects builds up ana gives energy to the most debilitated constitution. It is a general remedy that may be used with advantage in almost all complaints, and one bottle of it in the home is worth, in medicinal value, the entire of an ordinary medioiue chest. On two occasions, when I was thoroughly rundown hrougn overwork, and on the brink of serious illness, a timely recourse to Mother Seigel's Syrup has turned the threatened oanger aside and set me on ray feel again. ‘ * ]. believe, but’am not quite sure, that I am the first person who used Mother Seigel’s Syrup in New Zealand, It was in Dunedin, more than twenty years ago, that 1 first required that medicine, and Messrs Church and Citing, wel known merchants of that city, specially imported a quantity of it for me, from London, The investment was well awarded, for I soon regained my health. Again, several years later, when following my profession at the Maternity Hospital, Edinburgh (Scotland). I broke down through overwork, aud was laid aside for wticks, suffering from exhaustion* Oa ttrs occasion, too, the aid of Mother Seigel’s' Sy.up was invoked, with the result that I was soon able to resume my duties in perfect health. I always keep Mother Seigei’s Syrup by me, and whenever 1 feel the need of medicine, as even the most robust will do occasionally, if they would preserve their health, I take a few doses, and it never fails of the desired effect. What I have here sai lis simple truth, indicated solely by a desire to render eat vice to the sick and suffering, aud with no other object whatever.”
