ONE TASTE IS ENOUGH
The writer never had a taste of rheumatism but once —about four years ago it was—and it laid me up and made me groan for six weeks. And lam not praving for any more. I can got a heart load now, just by thinking hc,w it ieir. But, oli, what a lot of folk catch it worse than I did. Hero is Mrs Annie Hill, she Is one of them. Or rather she was; she is right enough in these days. Her idea of tailing of it is to cheer . ome other sufferer, and show liim the way out. And we tuank her for that. It’s the proper feeling to have towards our fellow - travellers through this vale of tears —and pain “Some eight or tcu years ago,'’ say* Mrs Hill, “I was a perfect martyr to rheumatism . indigestion. As if they v - not enough for oue poor woman to oe», I often had frightful pains m .he chest, with weakness all over my body. . It was awful, and I didn’t knoir what the end of it was going to be. Now and then I was completely prostrate. ‘‘We hunted everywhere for a euro, and I tried medicines, until •■.he empty bottles in tho house rattled wherever vou 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 acted splendidly, and I kept t*i with it until I w’as entirely well. It cured my rheumatism, mv 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 largo scale, iam never without a bottle of Mother Weigel’s Syrup in the bouse. There are plenty’ of medicines in Australia, goodness knows; almost as thick as tho rabbits used to be, but none, so far as I know, to compare with Mother Seigel’s Syrup.” —Mrs Annie Hill, Kayuga, near Muswellbrook, N.S.W., Sept., iist.., 1899. Witness, A Halpin. ‘ “I have known Mrs Hill for eight years. Her testimony’ to the. virtuc.H of Mother Soigel’s Syrup can be implicitly relied upon. She is altogether incapable of making any statement will not stand the closest investigation.” C. Ji Spratt, Auctioneer for the Farmers’ Association.
