ONE TASTE IS ENOUGH.
The writer never had a taste of rheumatism but onee — about foui years ago it was — and it laid me up and made me groan for six weeks. And lam not praying for any more. I can get a heartload now, just by thinking how it felt But, oh, what a lot of folk catch ife worse than I did.
Here is Mrs Annie Hill, she is one of il < Or rather she was; she is right enough in ' days. Her idea of talking of it is to cV nsome other sufferer, and show him the way out. And we thank her for that. It's the proper feeling to have towards our fellowtravellers through this vale of tears — and pains.
"Some eight or ten years ago," says Mrs Hill. "1 was a perfect martyr to rheumatism and indigestion. As if they were not enough for one poor woman to bear, I often hac 1 frightful pains in the chest, 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 the empty bottles in the house rattled whenever 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 lam telling this. I will try it— so I said to myself.
"It acted 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 50 years. lam now 75 and in good health. lam 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's 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 Muswellbrook, N.S.W., September 21, 1899. Witness, A. Halpin.
"I bava 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." 0. J. Spratt, auctkmer for the Farmers' Association.
