MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

It is remarkable how greatly our estimate of ourselves and our qualities differs from the estimate formed of us by others. If the thing were practicable, many folks would realise heavily by selling themselves at their own valuation (if thoy could find customers), and afterward? buying themselves back on the basis of other people's notion of their worth. The more numerous and the harder the blows aimed at our self-conceit in the days of our youth, the batter for us. They pulverise, a3 it were, the worser part of our nature, and nothing survives the process but what deserves to endure. " And what are you 1" asked a Lord Chief Justice of England of a witness who had just given some rambling and discreditable evidence. " 1 employ myself as a surgeon," said thß witness. "But does anybody else flmploy you as a surgeon ? Are you a sturgeon f" asked the judge. And thereat the witness collapsed. It is claimed for all medicines that they effect cures, though the fact i 3 that some do and some do not. Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for thirty-five years, and is to-day the principal domestic medicine in sixteen difhuent countries. The number of cures it has effected (especially among persons suffering from indigestion and bilious diseases') is quite incalculable. Of the many thousands of testimonials as to its efficacy voluntarily given, here is an interesting one from a mother and daughter. ** For several years," writes Mrs Hutchison, of Newcastle Road, Jesmond, N.BW, on October 19th, 1902 "I suffered agonies from indigestion and liver complaint. I could neither eat, sleep, nor work—in fact, did not knew what it was to enjoy a single hour of freedom from pain. I was attended by two of the cleverest medical men in the Newcastle district, but their treatment failed to bring me any relief. Indeed, I went steadily downhill, and began to fear that my case was beyond the aid of medicine. I grew weakly and thin, and beicame dejected, when, two years ago, I was advised to try what Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup could do for me. It was a happy decision, for before I had taken a quarter of the first bottle my health was much improved. I continued to take the medicine according to the directions for five weeks, by the end of which time I was cured. The cure is evidently a permanent one, for I have remained well and sound to the present day." This is good testimony—testimony to be proud of. But it don't stop here. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup not only cured Mrs Hutchison of her indigestion and liver complaint, bat, in the case of her daughter Agnes, arrested the progress of an insidious and dangerous malady which, if allowed to range unchecked, might have had fatal results. Here is Mrs Hutchison's own description of her daughter's case : " My daughter," she says, " was in a very bad way. She was suffering from severe nervous debility. Sho wasted away to a skeleton, and appeared to have no blood in her body. She was bo weakly that she could not walk without assistance, and wa3 often compelled tc keep to bed for days together. The doctors seemed to b? much in the dark as to her ailment, and as impotent in treating htr case as they had been in their treatment of mine, so 1 detej rained to experiment on her with the medicine which had proved such a boon to myself. The result was that within two months a few bottles of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup changed her from a helpless invalid into a hearty, healthy, happy girl. She remains as well as one could wish her to be." Mrs Hutchison is well known in Jesmoud and Lambton, and has lived in these places for twenty years. She is a native of Scotland, and came to Australia in 1872.
