What Mrs Bowles Found Out.

A hard thump on one's head may makeit ache, but most headaches come without the aid of thurnps or bumps. They ara caused by poisons in the blood acting on the nerves. The same is true of pains and lameness in the muscles of the back and sides—ineluding rheumatism and lumbago. Mrs Mary Bowles will tell us about hers, and how she got over them at last J aad a thankful woman she is for it. " About ten years ago," she says in her letter, " my back and sides used to acha so bad that I w*s often perfectly helpless and prostrate. Sometimes for weeks continually I could -»ot raise my hand to any kind of work. " For the last thiity-flve years I have worked at dairying and farming in this district. lam now turned 76 years old and am well known throughout the district. " When T first felt the pains in my back and ehes* I went to a chemist, who gave me a plaster to put on. This relieved me slightly for a day or two; then the pains were as bad as eyer. I found out that it was my liver and kidneys that caused the trouble, and was prescribed for by three doctors and a chemist; but no good came of all they did. " The pains I suffered in trying to pass the secretion from the kidneys were terrible ; I could hardly bear them. By this time I was sa bad I didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. What would have become of me if had not been for Mother Seigel's Syrup I dare not think. •'But, as a kind Providence ordained ,k it, I saw an advertisement of a ease like mine being cured by that medicine, and I got a bottle from a chemist in Muswellbrook. That single bottle relieved me very much, and by continuing to use the Syrup of the good Mother Seigel I got well. " I now attend to my work as I did before the complaint came upon me—thanks to this remedy that was brought from England to Australia, where it does such a lot of good. "I keep it all the time in the house, and always mean to. And when anybody is ill among my acquaintances or friends, 1 tell them to take Mother Seigel's Syrup, for if anything will cure them that will." —Mrs Mary Bowles, Layuga, near Muswellbrook, N.S.W., Sept 21st, 1899.

The character of Mrs Bowles, and the truth of the above statement made by her, is vouched for by Mr C. J. Spratt, Auctioneer for the Farmers* Association, Muswellbrook—who says she has resided in the district 35 years, and he has known her personally for eight years.
