SHE NATURALLY THOUGHT SO.
Mrs. Hickkn says she supposes the doctor know what was tho matter with Lizzie. Maybe he did. and maybe ho didn't. Now, let me have your ear for a quarter of a minute.' as though you were a tele/mono, while I talk a suggestive truth into it.
Lead any big medical book, intelligently and honestly written, and you will bo as tomsbed to find what a Jot of diseases thereui_ described aro said to be "of unsown origin." Therefore, (ho doctor might riot have understood what ailed Lizzie Hickon. and no blame to him. As it was. he worked away at the symptoms (tho outside Presentments you know) and trusted to luck for results; Am. ho might have struck it right, but he u ?'** Un ?r ( J :nHt< ' ! ): and it came to piuss what Mrs. Hicken is going to tell us abo.-j J! was in 1895 that the young- girl began to slitter terribly with pains which as she put it, "ran right through" her, particularly across tho stomach and under tho shoulder blades. A continuance of this so prostrate! her that she would sometimes bo hid up for a month or six weeks. Wo fancied it was rheumatism, ye it did not act quite like that complaint. "She was also greatly troubled with a nasty cough that completely took the power out of her. I called upon tho doctor with my daughter, and told him how she had been handled; and 1 suppose ho know what was tho matter with her, but, at all events. I am certain bis medicines did her no good. "Then I bought her all sorts of cough medicines, but they had no more effect than if she had used so much water. "By this time tho poor girl could neither oat nor sleep, and you may be sure we were m great worriment and perplexity to know what to do.
"However. I saw one of the Mother Seigels Syrup advcrtis&mente, and sent to the chemist tor a boUle, and before she finished it I could sec. she was better. Jh. wo kept on giving her this remedy until she was completely cured. "I have used the Syrup myself for indigestion, and it cured, alter I 'had worn out ■a deal of other medicines to no purpose. . "I want to say, so strongly that there can bo no doubt of my meaning, that the entire, credit for Lizzie's recovery is due to Mother Soigel's Syrup, and also for my own. "Wo both swear by if, and are seldom without a bottle in tho house. T commend it to everybody. J. K.ckk.v, Grahamstreet, Auburn, New South Wales, November 27, 1899.
