SHE NATURALLY THOUGHT SO.

Mrs Hicken says she supposes the docim ■ knew what was the matter with Lizzie. Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't, r Now, let me have your ear for a quarrel of a minute, as though you were a tel» • phone, while I talk a suggestive truth inU 'Read any big medical book, intelligentlj '< 'and honestly written, and .you will .1m i astonished to find what a lot of diseasei . ■ therein described are said to be "of tinknown origin." , *,•,. Therefore, the doctor might not flaw understood what ailed Lizzie Hicken, an< j; no blame to him. As it was, he workec ,; away at the symptoms (the outeide present, ments, you know) and trusted to luck for-, results. And he might have struck :ii J ;.. right, but he did not, unfortunately; anc ; it came to pass what Mrs Hicken. is going-;.' to tell us about. ' • ' It was in 1896 that the young girl cecal ;, to suffer terribly with pains which, as sh« - put it, "ran right through" ber,, particu-: , s larly across the stomach and under \ th< _ shoulder blades. A continuance of this sc .. nrostrated her that she would somet:mei • be laid up for a month or six weeks. W* .. fancied it was rheumatism, yet it did no: . act quite like that complaint. • , \; " She was also greatly troubled with t nasty cough that completely took-' th< ' power out of her. I called upon the'do:tor , with my daughter, and told him bow. sh« had been handled; and I suppose he kn«\i '. what was the matter with her, but, at aL." ev'ents, I am certain, bis medicines did he]' no good. •" " Then I bought- her all sorts ol cougt medicines, but they had no more' effect than if she had used so much water, "By this time the poor girl couk neither eat nor sleep, and you mar be sun we were in great worriment and per.piexitj . to know what to do. , . . "However, I raw one of the Mothei-. Seigel's Srrup advertisements, and s,cht « the chemist for a bottle, and before-.sfcr .; finished 'it I could tee she was better." Sj ' we- kept on giving her this remedy "until she was completely cured. , ' * A "I have used the Syrup myself for in- - digestion, and it cur«d, after I had won , 1 out a deal of ether medicines to .ao pur pose. ;' " I want to sav, so stroDgly that then can be no doubt of my meaning, that thi entire credit for Lizzie's recovery is due t<" . Mother Seigel's Syrup, and also for mj own. "We both swear by it, and are seldon '; without a bottle in the house. I comment it to evervbodv."—Mrs J. Hicken, Grahan Street, Auburn, 3T.5.W..
