SHE NATURALLY THOUGHT SO.

j Mrs. Hicrex says she supposes the doctor knew what was tho matter with Lizzie. Maybe he did, and maybe he didn't. Now, j let me have your ear for a quarter of a minute. j as though you were a telephone, while I i talk a suggestive truth into it. Read any big medical book, intelligently , and honestly written, and you will be astonished to find what a lot of diseases there- ; in described are said to be "of unknown I origin." J Therefore, the doctor might not have I understood what ailed Lizzie Hicken, and no i blame to him. As it, was, he worked away ! at the symptoms (the outside presentments, I you know) and trusted to luck for results. ; And he might have struck it right, but he j did not, unfortunately; and it came to pass ■ what Mrs. Hicken is going to tell us about. | It was in 1596 thai the young girl began , to suffer terribly with pains which, as she i put it, "ran right tint.ugh" her, particu- , larly across I lie stomach and under the . shoulder blades. A continuance of this so prostrated her that she would sometimes bo laid up for a month or six weeks. Wo fancied it was rheumatism, yet it did not act quite like that complaint. "She was also greatly troubled with a nasty cough that completely look the power : out of her. I called upon the doctor with my daughter, and told him how she had been handled; and I suppose he Knew what was \ the matter with her, but, at all events, I am certain his medicines did her no good. "Then 1 bought her all sorts of cough medicine's, but they had no more effect than . if she had \:~,',\ so 'much water. i "By this time the poor girl could neither , cat nor sleep, and you may be sure we were in great worriment and perplexity to know | what to do. ' "However, I saw one of the Mother Sei- ■ gel's Syrup advertisements, and -out to the chemist for a bottle, and before she finished ; it I could see she was better. So we kepi, ; on giving her this remedy until she was comi pletely cured. | " I have used the Syrup myself for indiI gestion, and it cured, after I had worn out ; a deal of other medicines to no purpose. j . "1 want to say, so strongly that there can , be no doubt of my meaning, that the entire credit for Lizzie's recovery is due to Mother . Seige.l's Syrup, and also for my own. J "We both -wear by it, and are seldom without a bottle in tho house, 1 commend it to everybody."—Mi:s. .1. iftoKK.w Grahamstreet. Auburn, Now South Wale-,, Novem- < her 27, 1899. I
