WHAT MRS. BOWLES FOUND OUT.
A haed thump on one's head may make it. ache, but most headaches come without the aid of thumps or bumps. They are 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 inoluding rheumatism and lumbago. Mrs. Mary Bowles will tell us about hers, and how she got over them at last; and a thankful woman she is for it. "About ten years ago," she says in her letter, "my back and skies used to ache so bad that I was very often perfeotly helpless and prostrate. Sometimes for weeks continuously I could not raise my hand to any kind of work. " For the last thirty-five 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 I first felt the pains in my back and chest 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 ever. 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 wore terrible; I could hardly bear them. By this time I was so bad I didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. What would have become of me if it had not been for Mother Seigel's Syrup I dare not think. " But, as a kind Providence ordained it, I saw an advertisement of a case like mine being cured by that medioine, and I got a bottle from a chemist in Muswellbrook. That single bottle relieved me very much, and by continuing the use of 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, I tell them to take Mother Seigel's Syrup, for if anything will cure them that will.— Mart Bowles, Kayuga, near Muswellbrook, N.S.W. September 21, 1899." The character of Mrs. Bowles, and the truth of the above statement made by her, is vouched for by Mr. O. J. Spratt, auctioneer for the Farmers' Asociation, Muswellbrook— who says she has resided in the district 35 years, and he has known her personally {or eight years. J
