ONE TASTE IS ENOUGH
The writer never had a taste of rheumatism but once —about four years ago it was—and it laid m© up and made me groan for six weeks. And lam not praying for any more. I can get a heatsload now, just by thinking hew it felt. But, oh, what a lot of folk catch it worse than I did.
Here is Mrs Annie Hill, she is one Of them. Or rather ,she was; she is right enough in these days. Her idea of talking of it is to cheer some other sufferer, and show him the way out. And we tnank her for that. It’s the proper feeling to have towards our fellow - travellers through this vale ofi tears—and pain* “Some eight or ten years ago,” sayw Mrs Hill, “I was a perfect martyr to rheumatism, indigestion. As if they not enough for one poor woman to Pesw, I often had frightful pains in !-he cheat, with weakness all over my body. . It was awful, and I didn’t know what the end of it was going to be. Now and then I was completely prostrate. “We hunted everywhere for a cure, and I tried, medicines, until '..he empty bottles in "the house rattled wherever you put your hand out; all to no earthly good. We spent money and spoiled hopes, and that’s the story. “At last I saw an advertisement of how Mother Seigel’s Syrup had cured a man of rheumatism and other ailments — just like mine. He told the tale himself, as I am telling this. I will try it—so I said to myself. “It a'cted splendidly, and I kept on with it until I was entirely well. It cured my rheumatism, my indigestion, and my liver complaint—all in a bunch. Sometimes I bought the Syrup by the half dozen in order to get it a little cheaper. “I am an old resident of this district, having lived here for the last fifty years. I am now seventy-five and in good health. I am known far and wide, my husband and sons being in the farming and dairy industries on a fairly large scale. lam never without a bottle of Mother Seigel’3 Syrup in the house. There are plenty of medicines in Australia* goodness knows; almost as thick as the rabbits used to be, but none, so far as I know, to compare with Mother Seigel’s Syrup.” —Mrs "Annie Hill, Kayuga, near Mu - wellbrook, N.S.W., Sept., aist.,, 1899. Witness, A Halpin.
“I have known Mrs Hill for eight years. Her testimony to the virtues of Mother Seigel’s Syrup can be implicitly relied upon. She is altogether incapable of making any statement that will not stand the closest investigation.” C. J. Spratt, Auctioneer for the Farmers’ Association.
