MOTHER AND DAUGHTER.

It is remarkable how greatly our estimate of ourselves and our qualities differs from Hie estimate formed of us by others. If the thing* wore practicable, many folks would realise heavily by selling themselves at their own valuation (if they could find customers), and afterwards buying themselves back on tho basis of other people's notion of their worth. The more numerous and tho harder the blows aimed at our self-conceit in the days of our youth the better for us. They pulverise, as it were, tho worse part of our na- ! ture, and nothing survives the- process but | what deserves to endure. "And what are you?" asked a Lord Chief Justice of England of a witness who had just given some rambling and discreditable evidence. " I employ myself as a surgeon," said the witness. " But does anybody else employ you as a surgeon? Are you a surgeon?" asked the judge. And thereat the witness collapsed. It is claimed for all medicines that they effect cures, though the fact is that some do and some do not. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup has been very extensively used for thirty-five years, and is to-day the principal domestio medicine in sixteen different 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 yer.vs," writes Mrs. Hutchison, of Newcastle Road, Jesmond, N.S.W., on October 19th, 1902, "I suffered agonies from indigestion and liver complaint. I could neither eat, sleep, nor workin fact, did not know 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 wont steadily downhill, and began to fear that my case was beyond the aid of medicine. I grew weakly and thin, and became 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— to boproud of. But it don't stop here. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup not only cured Mrs. Hutchison of her indigestion and liver complaint, but, in the case of her daughter Agnei, 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 had way. She wa3 suffering from severe nervous debility. She wasted away to a, skeleton, and appeared to have no blood in her body. She was so weakly that she could not walk without assistance-, and was often compelled to keep to bed for days together. Tho doctors seemed to be much in the dark as to her ailment, and as impotent in 'treating hor case as they had been in thoir treatment of mine, so I determined to experiment on her with the medicine which 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 Jesmond and Lambton, and has lived in these places for twenty years. She is a native of Scotland, and came to Australia in 1872.
